The work happens millimeters from your eye. That is the frame for everything else.
Lash extensions are attached to your own lashes with adhesive while your eyes are closed. A lash lift curls your own lashes using chemistry. Both are ordinary, widely performed services, and both deserve to be described accurately before you sit down for one.
Your natural lashes shed on their own cycle, and extensions leave with them. A set thins out gradually rather than lasting indefinitely, so keeping it full means returning for fills. Ask what interval is being recommended for you before you decide whether this fits your life.
People react to lash adhesives, sometimes after several uneventful sets. Redness, swelling, itching or watering that begins after an appointment is worth reporting to the technician, and anything significant or involving the eye itself is a matter for a medical professional rather than a salon.
Lifts and tints are chemical services performed at the eye. A patch test puts a small amount somewhere discreet in advance, so a reaction shows up there rather than on your face before an event. Asking for one is normal and a good technician will not be surprised by the request.
Extensions sit on your own lashes, and sets heavier or longer than those lashes comfortably carry put stress on them. Ask what is being recommended for your natural lashes specifically, and why, rather than choosing from photographs alone.
Dry eye, recent eye surgery, allergies, sensitive skin and anything you are using on or near the eyes are all relevant. Say them before the appointment, not while lying down with your eyes closed.
If it is your first set or first lift, book far enough ahead that you find out how your eyes respond with room to spare. A first appointment days before an occasion is the version of this that goes wrong.
Tell us when it is, where it is and what you are thinking about, and we will match you with someone who will explain what it involves before you book.
