Remove All Eye Makeup
Avoid wearing eye makeup to your eyelash appointment. Remove mascara, eyeliner, and other eye makeup beforehand. Although the lash stylist will have eye cleanser on hand, removing eye makeup can be time-consuming and take away from your lash extension application time. Also, avoid curling your lashes, please come with your lashes in their natural state.
Remove Your Contact Lenses
If you wear contact lenses, please bring a contact lens case and saline solution to your appointment. As a safety precaution you will be required to remove your lenses before the lashes are applied. Wearing contact lenses while getting lash extensions is a safety issue and may be uncomfortable. After the lashes are applied, you may put your contact lenses back in, or if more convenient, I recommend wearing glasses to your appointment.
Dress for Comfort
Wearing comfortable clothes during your session can help optimize your special “me-time” and enhance your experience. For appointments longer than an hour, you may want to wear clothes that are comfortable and allow you to lie down in a relaxed, non-restricted manner. Also, to prevent un- necessary discomfort, avoid wearing large dangling earrings or wearing your hair in a ponytail or bun.
Bring Soothing Music
Bring a headset and audio player so you can listen to music while the lashes are being applied. Although many eyelash extension customers fall asleep during the procedure, music can help enhance the relaxing experience provided by your stylist.
Turn Your Cell Phone Off
Silence your cell phone before your eyelash extension session. While the lash extensions are being applied, your eyes need to remain closed. A ringing cell phone can be a distraction and trigger the urge to open your eyes unexpectedly.
*NOTE BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
The application of a full set (50 – 80 extensions per eye) can take anywhere from 1 hour and 15 minutes to 2.5 hours, and touch-ups (15 – 35 extensions per eye) can take 30 – 60 minutes. Please arrive 10-15 minutes before your appointment. Depending on the desired look your appointment may take a minimum of 1.5 but up to 3 hours.
