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.
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.
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.
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.
Ask what adhesive brand the technician uses and whether it contains formaldehyde. Ask how many years of experience they have and if they hold a sanitation certificate. Ask to see a photo of a healed lash line after 3 weeks, not just day one. Clear answers here prevent allergic reactions and poor retention.
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.
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.
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.
Poor isolation causes extensions to stick to two lashes at once, leading to premature fallout. Heavy diameters on weak natural lashes cause traction alopecia over 6 to 12 months. Uncured glue fumes can irritate eyes for 24 hours. An allergic reaction to adhesive shows as red, puffy eyelids within 24 to 48 hours.
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.
