Q & A Eyelash Extensions

Many people have been asking us about how safe Lash Extensions are for you. The simple answer is, if they are done properly by a trained technician, and cared for by the client, they are 100% safe for your natural lashes.

Q: Will the Lash Extensions cause my Natural Lash to fall out, or break off?
A:The short answer, is they can be, and No! The reason for this answer is it depends on a few things.

Your lash extensions will shed with your natural lashes, you will loose about 3 lashes a day, so every 2 weeks is a fair amount of time for a fill. If you are gentle with them they could last up to 3 weeks. Some people charge their fills by the hour, others just a flat fee. This would be a question I would ask. (Bashful Lash offers by the hour, and a VIP, call to discuss details).

The initial set is about 2-2.5 hours, if they claim they can get a full set on you in an hour, pass on them. Its not possible, and you will have lashes clumped together. This can cause damage to your
natural lashes.

1) Is the lash tech a trained and licensed professional? If so it is likely you will be just fine, and no damage will be caused by the application of the lashes.

2) Is the technician applying a single lash per single natural lash? If so you will also be fine. You will need to avoid the techs that want to use a premade cluster of lashes. These are simply just to heavy for your natural lash to support. Causing them to break off, and causing damage at the follicle or just to break off. (Russian Volume is ok, this is applying more than 1 lash extension to 1 natural lash. The weight of these lashes combined is usually less weight than your 1 natural lash).

3) How are you, the client, caring for your lashes? If you wear mascara or makeup every single day, this is hard ware on your lashes and can cause not only the lash extensions to break off, but your natural lashes. Often times the clients that don't wear much makeup to begin with have healthier lashes from the start.

4) Do you groom your lashes, and keep them clean? If so you will likely end up with healthier lashes by having the extensions on. Oil and dirt build up can cause a breakdown of the glue, and often times the buildup will clump together and pull at the other lashes.

These are just the top questions that you need to know about how to keep your lash extensions and still have your beautiful natural lashes underneath.

Here are a few pictures to show you what a bad application of eyelash extensions look like, and pictures of our work to show a proper application.
