All about Eyelash Extensions.

Being a beauty therapist, I usually get asked alot of questions about treatments and products.
One of the most popular questions being about eyelash extensions.

So as I am a qualified lash technician, I thought I would do a post all about them, for those of you who may be considering having them done for yourself or just curious!

Eyelash extensions are individual hairs that are glued to each one of your separate lashes. (Yes, it's a fiddily job, but very theraputic!)

They are perfect for holidays, or special occasions!

You can use a mixture of lengths, thickness's and curls to create the look you are wanting. You can go from natural to dramatic.

The treatment usually takes about 1 1/2 hours up to 2 1/2 hours for a full set, depending on how full your natural lashes are.

You can also have a half set which is typically just lashes applied towards the outer ends of your eyes to create a flicked/wing effect.

Prices range from around £40 - £100, depending on where the salon is.

Regular infills every 3 weeks are key to keeping the lashes looking great and maintained, as your extensions will fall out as your natural lashes shed out. Infills are usually cheaper than the full set, anywhere from £20 - £40, again depending on your salons location.

You don't need to wear mascara with them, as it can shorten their life span, but you can wear oil free mascara.

Eyelash extensions do not damage your eyelashes, as long as they are applied correctly by a professional and also that you follow regular aftercare advice.

So I hope that's answered alot of your questions! If not then feel free to comment below and questions you may have and I will get back to you.
