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.
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.
Poor isolation causes stickies, where two natural lashes are glued together and pull out early. Overweight extensions bend or break natural lashes. Glued-to-skin bonds cause irritation and plucking pain during removal. Uneven mapping leaves gaps near the outer corner or uneven curl direction across the lid.
Reactions are usually to cyanoacrylate fumes, not the fibre itself. Symptoms include red, puffy or itchy lids, burning around the lash line and watering eyes 2 to 12 hours after application. A patch test places 5 to 10 extensions on the outer corner and is read after 24 to 48 hours before a full set.
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.
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.
Professional removal uses a gel or cream remover with 10 to 15 minutes of contact time, then the extensions slide off with a microbrush. At home, an oil-based balm left for 20 minutes can loosen bonds on classic sets, but never pull or force an extension out, as this can take the natural lash with it.
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.
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 style attaches one extension to one natural lash. Volume applies 2 to 6 ultra-fine extensions in a fan shape per lash. Hybrid mixes both, usually about 50/50. Volume fans use 0.03 mm to 0.07 mm fibers, and full sets take 90 to 150 minutes depending on the chosen style.
