Lash Touch Ups
The ideal time to come in for a lash touch up is within 2-3 weeks from your last appointment.
2-3 weeks
Most clients come back within 2-3 weeks after their full set or their last touch up. How frequent you come back is based on your personal lash retention. Clients who have a more active lifestyle and/or oily skin are recommended to come back sooner as lashes tend to lose their retention more. See aftercare notes below on how to keep your lashes on longer.
a touch up?
You must have 20 lash extensions remaining per eye for it to be considered a lash touch up. The time allotted for a lash touch up appointment includes time to take off outgrown lashes to keep your natural lashes healthy. If you have less than 20 lash extensions per eye remaining you will not be getting a set as full as before with the time permitted. You will be charged more up to full set pricing if this is the case.
clean
Clean lashes are essential to having a successful lash appointment. When you come back for a lash touch up with eye makeup residue, skin and oil debris, this effects your lash extension retention and may be more costly for you.
Eyelash Extension Notes
Before Your Appointment
Arrive on time. Consider travel and time to find parking, etc.
No caffeine.
Use the restroom beforehand as it will take time from your lash appointment to take off pads and tape so you can open your eyes.
Bring rewetting eye drops, if needed.
Do not wear contacts since you will have your eyes closed for a long time and it may cause dryness.
CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN your lashes before you arrive. Clean lashes mean MORE time for your lash fill and longer lasting lashes.
Bring your own earphones/air pods. Your lash artist will be tuning into books, music and podcasts with her own earphones.
During Your Appointment
Be ready to close your eyes for the whole duration of your lash appointment until you are asked to open them.
No calls and/or texts, although we understand emergency needs. Use this time to relax and rest.
Any movement of your body will effect the lashing process as we are very close to your eyes with sharp tweezers and need to be extra careful. This also means no talking so your eyes and hands are not moving.
Bring earphones to listen to a book, music or podcast.
We encourage naps!
After Your Appointment
No mascara. It is no longer needed once you have lash extensions on.
Clean your lash extensions daily with an oil-free foaming wash and a small fluffy makeup brush.
Clean your lash extensions after sweating, swimming in the ocean, or having any debris that might break down the bonding.
Do not pull off your eyelash extensions. It is best to let it fall off naturally or schedule a removal.
Avoid sleeping on your lashes.
Avoid heat from smoking, cooking and blow dryers as it may singe your lashes or flatten the curl.
Schedule an appointment within 3 weeks of your last touch up to continue receiving the look and care you want for your lashes.
