It definitely will make your eyes look bigger, brighter, and make you look more feminine without any makeup.
Eyelash Extensions are single strand lashes are applied one by one to your own natural lashes with a stronger medical adhesive. There are many different types of Eyelash Extensions to choose from. Synthetic lashes are the most common ones. Mink and silk lashes are softer, more lightweight and durable than other types of lash extensions, they are very natural compare to the synthetic, but there are more expensive. Real Mink Lashes are handmade with 100% pure mink fur that creates a natural look and luxurious feeling. They are cruelty free. Eyelash Extensions come with different lengths, different thickness and different curls. Our certified technicians will apply the proper lashes to match your own lashes, make you standout, like a movie star.
Normally, Eyelash Extensions last until the lashes naturally fall out (between 4 – 11 weeks), other factors include the strength and texture of your natural lash, your lifestyle, and the way how you care for your extensions, if you use oil-based eye makeup remover or rub your eyes regularly, your extensions may fall out faster. Partial refills every few weeks will keep up the look.
If you want to remove the lashes once they are applied, it is recommended that you keep them on for at least a week so the glue is not right at the lash line as the remover may burn your eyes.
If you are planning to travel, we recommend that you get your eyelashes extension at least 3-4 days before you are leaving for travel, in case that you may have some irritation or bad reaction.
For brides, we often recommend to get our Natural Set extensions few weeks before your wedding day, so you can decide on how you want to look like on your big day, because it’s always easier to add more lashes than take them off.

Remove all eye makeup and clean your lashes with mild, oil free cleanser. Do not use oil based makeup removers to clean your lashes prior to the application.
