Which lash extensions are right for me?
Hybrid
Middle of the road extensions. Hybrid is a mixture of classic and volume. Gives you the volume look without looking too full. Great for someone who doesn't have many natural lashes and wants to achieve a fuller look without being able to tell they necessarily have extensions.
Classic
The most natural choice. With a classic set one single extension is applied to each of your lashes. Sort of like you are always wearing mascara with some extra length.
Volume
A very full look. Volume lashes are great if you don't have many natural lashes and/or you want a more dramatic look. People will assume you have lash extensions. However, you can choose a less dramatic volume set. With volume 4-10 lashes are together in one sprig and are applied to each of your individual lashes.
WHAT TO EXPECT
BEFORE YOU COME
BE SURE TO COME WITH MAKEUP FREE FRESHLY CLEANSED LASHES. THE CLEANSER USED SHOULD BE OIL FREE. DO NOT WEAR ANY FACE POWDER. DO NOT CHEW GUM. BOTH CAN INTERFERE WITH THE UNDER EYE STICKERS STAYING IN PLACE. ALSO BE SURE TO USE VERY LITTLE FACIAL EXPRESSION WHILE SPEAKING TO YOUR ARTIST. TOO MUCH MOVEMENT CAN MAKE IT VERY HARD TO ISOLATE AND APPLY THE EXTENSIONS.

YOU WILL DISCUSS WHICH LASH SET YOU WANT AND THEN YOU WILL LAY DOWN ON THE LASH BED, SLIDE ALL THE WAY TO THE HEAD END OF THE BED AND GET COMFORTABLE.
2
YOUR LASH ARTIST WILL USE NOURISHING UNDER EYE PADS TO HOLD DOWN YOUR BOTTOM LASHES SO THEY ARE SEPARATED FROM THE TOP LASHES. ONCE YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES YOU WILL NOT OPEN THEM AGAIN UNTIL YOUR APPOINTMENT IS COMPLETED.
3
THE ENTIRE INITIAL PROCESS WILL TAKE ABOUT 2 HOURS. ONCE YOUR LASH SET IS COMPLETE, YOUR ARTIST WILL REMOVE THE NOURISHING PADS AND APPLY THE MINI FAN TO YOUR EYES IN ORDER TO CLEAR AWAY ANY REMAINING FUMES FROM THE GLUE. YOU WILL THEN DECIDE TOGETHER WITH YOUR ARTIST, HOW OFTEN YOU WILL COME IN FOR A FILL IN. THE OPTIONS ARE A 2 WEEK FILL, 3 WEEK FILL, OR 4 WEEK FILL. ANYTHING PAST THE 4 WEEK FILL IS CONSIDERED A NEW FULL SET AND IS CHARGED ACCORDINGLY.
