About Eyelash Extensions
Daily care and brushing
Brush gently once a day with a clean spoolie from middle to tip, never root to tip, to avoid twisting extensions off. Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase and avoid face-down sleeping, which bends extensions. Clean every 2 to 3 days with a lash-safe foam cleanser, not micellar water or facial soap.
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.
Main shapes and curls
Curl types are labeled B, C, D, and L. B is a soft lift, C is a medium curve, D is a dramatic curve, and L is straight at the base with a sharp upward tip. Lengths go from 8 mm to 14 mm, and thicknesses range from 0.05 mm to 0.20 mm. Thinner diameters look softer but hold less weight.
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.
What the appointment looks like
The client lies down with eyes closed. The technician places gel patches under each eye to isolate the lower lashes. Each extension is picked up with tweezers, dipped in adhesive, and placed on a single natural lash. Eyes stay shut the whole time, and the room is usually ventilated to reduce fume buildup.
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.
Allergies and patch tests
A patch test places 5 to 10 extensions on the outer corner of one eye, kept on for 24 to 48 hours. Any redness, itching, or swelling means the adhesive is not safe to use. About 1 to 3% of clients react to standard cyanoacrylate glue, and a hypoallergenic version costs about 20% more.
Aftercare in the first 24 hours
Keep lashes dry for the first 24 hours so the glue can finish polymerising. Avoid steam, saunas, hot showers over 40 degrees, workouts that flood sweat into the eyes and oil-based makeup removers. Do not rub, pull or use a cotton pad on the lash line during this window.
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 eyelash extensions are
Eyelash extensions are synthetic, silk, or mink fibers glued one by one onto each natural lash. A full set usually has 80 to 120 extensions per eye, while a partial set has 40 to 80. Each extension is applied with a small amount of cyanoacrylate-based adhesive, about 1 mm from the eyelid skin.
