At Signature Brows Downey, we understand the allure of luscious, voluminous lashes. They can frame your eyes, enhance your natural beauty, and boost your confidence. But with so much information swirling around lash extensions, it’s natural to have questions. Here at Signature Brows, we want to empower you to make informed decisions about your beauty journey. So, let’s dive into some of the most frequently asked questions:
1. What are lash extensions, and how are they applied?
It is an individual synthetic or mink fibers meticulously bonded to your natural lashes using a safe, medical-grade adhesive. The process is customized to your desired look, from classic, natural-looking extensions to dramatic, voluminous sets. Our skilled technicians at Signature Brows Downey meticulously apply each lash for a seamless, comfortable, and long-lasting effect.
2. Is it safe?
Safety is our top priority at Signature Brows Downey. We use only high-quality, medical-grade products and follow strict hygiene protocols to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. However, it’s important to choose a reputable salon with experienced technicians.
Here are some tips:
- Look for certified lash technicians
- Ask about the type of adhesive used
- Ensure the salon maintains a clean and sterile environment.
3. How long does it last?
Lash extensions typically last 4-8 weeks, with individual lashes shedding naturally along with your lash cycle. Refills are recommended every 2-4 weeks to maintain a full, luscious look.
4. Do lash extensions damage my natural lashes?
When applied correctly by a skilled technician, it should not damage your natural lashes. However, improper application, picking at the extensions, or using oil-based products can cause breakage. At Signature Brows Downey, we use a gentle application technique and recommend proper aftercare to keep your natural lashes healthy.
5. How should I care for my lash extensions?
Here are some essential aftercare tips:
- Avoid getting your lashes wet for the first 24 hours
- Don’t rub your eyes
- Use oil-free makeup removers
- Brush your lashes gently with a spoolie
- Avoid sleeping on your face.
6. Can I wear mascara with lash extensions?
While not always necessary, you can wear mascara with it. However, it’s crucial to use oil-free, water-based mascara specifically formulated for use with extensions. Opt for a wand that won’t tug on your lashes, and avoid applying mascara directly to the base of the lash extension.
7. What are the different types of lash extensions available?
Lash extensions come in a variety of styles, lengths, and thicknesses to create various looks. Here’s a breakdown of some popular options:
Classic: A single extension applied to each natural lash for a natural enhancement.
Volume: Multiple lightweight extensions applied to each natural lash for a fuller, dramatic look.
Hybrid: A combination of classic and volume lashes for a customized look.
