Eyelash Extensions Las Vegas are single strands of synthetic or organic eyelashes that are curved to replicate a natural eyelash. They are bonded to individual eyelashes, one lash at a time, for a natural, elegant and luscious look.
What are extensions made of? Lashes are available in a variety of materials including human hair, synthetic fiber, silk and mink. We prefer mink, silk and the synthetic fiber lashes. Extensions range from fine to very thick in diameter and from very short to very long. The bonding is specially formulated for human lashes.
• Synthetic: These lashes are available in every color (black, brown, red, gold, green, purple ect) and in a variety of thicknesses. Synthetic are slightly stiff but perfectly hold their curl. They are excellent for anyone who wants the most dramatic look. Synthetics do require a bit more care and need fills most often. Synthetic are a great affordable lash.
• Mink: No minks are harmed or killed to make the mink lashes. The mink is by far the superior lash extension lash. Mink are the preferred lash of celebrities. The mink are black, shiny and soft. They are weightless and quite comfortable. They have a luscious feathered look once applied. Mink require less fills.
• Silk: Silky lashes are a super fine synthetic lash that mimics human hair. They are not as stiff as the synthetics but do not give the thickness that mink and synthetic can. They are great for anyone who has very thick lashes naturally and desire only length and curl.
What is the difference between the traditional false eyelashes and the new extensions?
The main differences are the:
• Adhesive formula
• Lash type
• Application technique
• Lash appearance
• Lasting duration
Traditional false lashes are in a strip or multiple lashes knotted together and applied onto the eyelid using a hard drying adhesive. They often cause discomfort and sometimes natural lashes to fall out. They lasted only a few days to a week and looked unnatural and felt heavy. Some salons called the multiple flare lashes extensions or individual lashes but they are not individual at all. They can cause a great deal of damage to natural lashes.
Eyelash Extensions are applied with an adhesive that dries soft allowing lashes to stay flexible and bouncy. Mink, silk and human hair lashes have the most flex. Because the bonding is to each individual lash and not to skin, extensions will last significantly longer than traditional false lashes or flares. . Extensions can look and feel like human lashes.
How long do these lashes last? When applied properly they last up to 2 months, depending on the natural growth cycle of your eyelashes and the expertise of the technician applying the eyelash extensions. Our bonding agent is specially formulated with a unique waterproof bonding agent to last. Other glues that you can purchase at the drug store are hard, crack and do not hold up. If you get fills monthly you can have your lashes for months or years.
How often should touch ups be done? We recommend getting a touch up every two to four weeks. A natural eyelash falls off every 40 days on average due to the natural growth cycle and is naturally replaced with the growth of a new eyelash. At any given moment, each of your natural eyelashes is at a different stage of its life cycle. A touch up is needed to replenish the lashes that have completed their life cycle. Touch ups generally take a short time and are relatively inexpensive.
Can mascara be applied on extensions? Mascara is not needed with extensions. However, if the client must have the mascara look, only extension mascara can be used on the tips after the clear coating sealer. Waterproof mascara along with any type of oil based mascara will dissolve the bonding agent and cause the extensions to fall off. Waterproof also leaves a residue and makes fills/touchups impossible. If you want a bold mascara look you can have the extra thick extensions with a thick sealer applied.
How long does it take?
Your eyes are closed the entire time and it is not uncommon to fall asleep. It takes at least an hour.
With almost everything applied to the body there is always risk of allergy. The fact that the lashes are applied to the eyelashes not the skin makes reactions extremely rare. An allergic reaction would require removal of the extensions in office or we can provide you with a remover.
Please come in with clean dry lashes the day of the procedure/fill. If you wear waterproof mascara, please do not use for several days before your appointment because it leaves a film that makes the extensions fall off. You can use water based mascara instead.
Please remove contacts prior to your appointment.
EYELASH EXTENSION CARE
- Do not get new lash extensions wet or use a steam room for 24 hours after application or after fill.
- Do not rub eyes or extensions.
• This will cause breakage. If you have an itch, look in the mirror and use a q-tip around the extensions.
• Never full on rub or scratch your new lashes.
- DO NOT USE AN EYELASH CURLER. Only the low heat eyelash extension curler should be used.
• Your lashes are already curled and an eyelash curler will not make them curl more.
• Traditional curlers kink the extensions permanently and make them look tangled.
- Do not use oils, Vaseline, oily eye makeup remover or any product on lashes that contains oil.
- Repeated steam room visits will loosen lash bond.
- When drying eyes after bathing or swimming simply pat your eyes do not rub with towel.
- Absolutely no mascara. Only eyelash extension approved gentle mascara can be used over the clear coating sealer. Many types of mascara have chemicals that will melt the adhesive.
- If one of your extensions loosens from the lash and is partly off do not pull it.
• Return to your extension artist to deal with all lash issues.
• If you start pulling or picking you may pull out your natural lashes.
- Use your clear coating extension sealer to keep lashes straight or straighten them out after showers or sleeping. You should use your sealer prior to applying the extension mascara. You do not need to wash the clear coating off.
- Synthetic lashes are stiffer than the natural Mink lashes. They may feel heavy for a day or two.
- Fills are required to maintain these great new lashes.
• Our natural lashes shed constantly.
• In fact our natural lashed have only about a 40 day average life span before they shed.
• A natural eyelash can take up to 3 months to shed but there is no way to determine what point each lash is during its life cycle. We estimate an average of 40 days.
• Make your fill appointments every 2-4 weeks.
- Detergents and harsh chemicals may build up in the base of your lashes after showering and washing face.
• This may compromise the adhesive and cause irritation to the lid area at the base of your lashes.
• We are used to scrubbing our lashes and fully drying them with a towel. This isn’t possible when extensions are applied and should be avoided. It is important that you cleanse the lid area carefully avoiding the extensions with a Q-Tip and warm water after washing or showering.
• If you desire a mascara look with your extensions, we can apply the lashes with a light mascara look or we have very good extension black mascara coating that provides a black mascara look.
• If you have lost more than 50% of your lashes the fill will take longer than 30 minutes.
o If you have less than 50% of your lashes please let the receptionist know so she can schedule more time for your fill. You will need to come in more often for fills with synthetic lashes.
