Are you considering getting lash extensions for the first time but feeling a bit nervous about the process? You’re not alone! Many people have questions and concerns before their first appointment. The good news is that getting lashes is a straightforward and enjoyable experience. Here’s everything you need to know before you sit in the chair!
1. Consultation: Your Personalized Experience
Before the application begins, you’ll have a consultation with your lash technician. This is your chance to discuss your desired look, whether it’s natural and subtle or bold and dramatic. Your technician will help you choose the right length, curl, and volume to suit your eye shape and personal style. This step ensures that you feel confident and excited about your lash transformation!
2. The Application Process: Sit Back and Relax
Once you’ve decided on your perfect lash look, it’s time for the application. You’ll lie back in a comfortable chair or reclined bed while the technician prepares your lashes. The process typically takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the style you choose. Many clients find this time to be incredibly relaxing—some even drift off to sleep!
During the application, your technician will meticulously attach each lash extension to your natural lashes using a special adhesive. You may feel a slight sensation as the extensions are applied, but it shouldn’t be painful. If you have any discomfort at any point, don’t hesitate to let your technician know.
3. Aftercare: Keeping Your Lashes Fabulous
Once your lash application is complete, your technician will provide you with aftercare instructions to help you maintain your beautiful new lashes. Here are some common tips:
Avoid Water and Steam: For the first 24 hours, avoid getting your lashes wet to allow the adhesive to set properly.
Be Gentle: When cleaning your face, use a gentle touch around your eyes. Avoid rubbing or pulling on your lashes.
Use Oil-Free Products: Oil-based makeup removers and skincare products can weaken the adhesive, so stick to oil-free options.
Schedule Fills: Lash extensions will naturally shed as your natural lashes fall out. To keep your look fresh, schedule regular fills every 2-4 weeks.
