About Eyelash Extensions
Aftercare in the first 24 hours
Keep lashes dry for 12 to 24 hours after application. Avoid steam, saunas, and workouts that cause heavy sweating. Do not rub the eyes or sleep face-down for the first 2 nights. After that, gentle cleansing with an oil-free lash shampoo once a day keeps the adhesive bond strong.
Daily care and brushing
Brush lashes twice a day with a clean spoolie to prevent twisting. Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction. Avoid oil-based eye makeup, mascaras with fibers, and mechanical eyelash curlers. With daily care, retention stays above 80% at the 2-week mark.
Safe removal at home or salon
Professional removal takes 10 to 15 minutes using a cream-based solvent placed on the lashes for 3 to 5 minutes. The extensions slide off without pulling. Never rip extensions off, because this can remove up to 5 natural lashes per eye. Home removal kits work but need 10 extra minutes and careful rinsing.
What affects the price
Prices vary by style, technician skill, and location. Classic sets start at the lowest tier, volume costs 40 to 80% more due to longer application time. Hybrid sits in the middle. Specialty adhesive, colored extensions, or mega volume can add 20 to 30% to the final cost. Always confirm refill pricing upfront.
What eyelash extensions are
Eyelash extensions are synthetic fibres, usually made of PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) or silk-like material, that are bonded one by one to your natural lashes with a small drop of cyanoacrylate-based glue. A full set can have 80 to 150 extensions per eye, depending on the desired density and your natural lash count.
Main curls, lengths and diameters
Extensions come in curls labelled B (soft), C (medium), D (dramatic) and L (lifted), lengths from 8 mm to 15 mm, and diameters from 0.05 mm to 0.20 mm. Thinner diameters feel lighter and are gentler on weak natural lashes, while thicker diameters create a bolder look but carry more weight per strand.
Classic, volume and hybrid sets
Classic sets attach one extension per natural lash. Volume sets use handmade fans of 2 to 6 ultra-thin extensions per natural lash for a fluffy finish. Hybrid sets mix single extensions and handmade fans across the eye to create a textured, slightly wispy result that balances drama and softness.
How long a full set lasts
A full set normally lasts 4 to 6 weeks, but that is the natural lash growth cycle, not the lifespan of each extension. Most clients lose 2 to 5 extensions per day per eye. A refill every 2 to 3 weeks keeps the set looking full, because grown-out lashes carry the extension out as they shed.
What the appointment looks like
A full classic set takes 90 to 120 minutes, volume takes 120 to 180 minutes, and a refill takes 45 to 75 minutes. You lie down with closed eyes while the technician isolates each natural lash with tweezers, dips the extension in glue and places it. Under-eye gel pads or tape hold the lower lashes down throughout.
Questions to ask before booking
Ask what glue brand and cyanoacrylate percentage the technician uses, how many hours the fumes need to cure, and whether the salon is ventilated. Ask to see a patch-test photo from the last 30 days and a portfolio of real clients, not stock images, so you can judge isolation work and symmetry.
