EYELASH EXTENSIONS - PROCEDURE INFORMATION
The application of a perfect set of Eyelash Extensions requires patience and skill
on the part of the technician and nothing but relaxation by the client!
FAB LASHES Eyelash Extensions are made from a soft, synthetic material that looks almost identical to your natural eyelashes. They come in a variety of lengths, thicknesses and curls, all of which can be combined to create the most incredible, natural looking, lashes you will ever possess.
If possible, please come to your appointment without eye makeup. This reduces the amount of time spent removing makeup and allows extra time to create your new lashes. If you wish to have your own eyelashes tinted prior to having extensions, please ensure tinting takes place at least two days prior to treatment. Contact lenses should not be worn during the procedure.
Prior to your first treatment a consultation will take place during which we determine what look you are wanting to achieve with your Eyelash Extensions; we also assess the current condition and length of your own natural lashes and discuss after-care considerations. During this consultation we will assist you in choosing which of the available styles will be the best for you and will then customise your lash extensions to suit your individual needs, taking into account your eye shape, amount and condition of your natural lashes and any special effects you would like.
During the procedure, which will take anywhere between 1 – 2.5 hours depending on the chosen style, you will be lying on a comfortable bed with your eyes closed. This is such relaxing procedure that many clients fall asleep and wake to find their beautiful new lashes are finished.
Eyelash Extensions are individually bonded, one-by-one to each of your own natural lashes with a small amount of adhesive (similar to that used in sutureless wound closure) – if properly cared for these lashes can stay in place for up to eight weeks – however the natural eyelash life cycle will mean that as your own natural lashes fall out and replenish, the Eyelash Extensions will also need to be replaced. It is recommended that clients have 2 – 3 weekly infill treatments in order to maintain perfect looking lashes. A FAB LASHES Waterproof Sealant may be applied once or twice a week to protect the adhesive bond and ensure the longest lasting lashes possible. We also recommend the use of Ravir Medics' Lash & Brow Conditioner to encourage optimum natual eyelash health and condition.
Properly and professionally applied Eyelash Extensions will not damage your own lashes, they should be natural looking, comfortable and virtually weightless, however, beware of inexperienced or untrained technicians who may not have the skill necessary to ensure correct application.
Generally Eyelash Extensions are approximately 30% - 50% longer than your own natural lashes, however this is to a large degree dependent on the condition of your natural lashes. Lash Extensions are carefully applied with the correct amount of adhesive to ensure that lashes do not stick together but that a strong bond is achieved.
FAB LASHES Party Lashes are a more temporary eyelash extension, often used for special occasions. They last between 2 – 3 weeks, using a gentle strength adhesive. We recommend that they are professionally removed after this time in order to protect your natural lashes.
