F.A.Q
Can lash extensions harm my natural lashes?
No, properly applied lash extensions will not harm natural lashes. They grow, rest, and shed with your natural lashes. When your natural lashes shed they will simply fall out with them.
How long do eye lash extensions last?
Lash extensions can be worn indefinitely but require monthly fills.
Can I get lash extensions if I wear contacts?
Yes! Eyelash extensions are not adhered to your eyelid so the extensions will not interfere with your contacts.
Can I wear mascara?
Use of mascara is generally not needed when wearing lash extensions, but can be used to coat any extension-free lashes that may appear when a fill is needed. Avoid waterproof mascara and be sure it is carbonate and glycol free. As those ingredients will dissolve the lash bond.
How soon can I get my lash extensions wet?
Right away! The adhesive is waterproof so you can swim or shower right away. NovaLash Lash Extensions are waterproof, sweat proof and oil proof.
What can I expect at my first lash appointment?
The first full set is a 2 hour appointment. It is painless and most people relax and enjoy conversation. .
What is the difference between a full set and a fill?
The full set is the first appointment. Typically takes about 2 hours. During this time every lash will be bonded. A fill appointment is after your full set it is the maintenance required to keep the lashes lush. Fills are typically 1 hour and stray lashes or loose lashes will be removed and extensions will be applied to new lashes or any lashes that are without extensions.
Can lash extensions be applied to the bottom lashes?
Bottom lashes are available for an additional fee. They are great for special events. They must be done using a sensitive adhesive and therefore don't last as long as the top lashes.
What eye makeup remover can I use?
Typically a remover that does not include glycol or carbonate can be used. NovaLash Clean Lash pads are useful to help clean and condition your lashes.
