Love Eyelash Extensions by Cassi

for a touch up session

Do’s- Daily Maintenance:
Do use ONLY water based(oil-free) eye make-up and eye make-up remover. Use a q-tip(or something similar) to gently remove eye make-up. DO be gentle while cleansing the eye area and pat lashes dry
Do use a longer life coating sealer. They are a specially formulated coating sealer that will help protect and extend the life of your lashed from harmful particles such as dirt and oil. DO schedule a touch-up session: The natural lash life cycle is about 90-100 days and the eyelash extensions may fall out during this period of negligent care by client. Touch-ups are recommended to be done approx every 2 weeks to replace any lashes that may have fallen off within that time period. Don’t use manual lash curlers: This will break both extensions and natural lashes! Instead, we recommend using a heated curler specifically for eyelash extensions. Use to curl lashed only on the tips of the extensions- do not heat from root of eyelashes!! Don’t receive acidic facials: Acidic peels such as Chemical Peels. Alpha and/or Beta Hydroxy Peels will dissolve the bonding agent of the eyelash extensions. Don’t excessively rub lashes or eyes while washing face. Don’t use oil-based eye products around or on the eyes. Oil-based products around or on the eyes will dissolve the bonding agent of the eyelash extensions. What are eyelash extensions?? From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Like hair extensions, eyelash extensions add length, thickness and fullness to natural eyelashes. Synthetic single fiber polyester thread-like materials are applied to individual eyelashes to create a fuller, longer look. The adhesive used is surgical-grade. Extensions come in various lengths, colors and thicknesses, and can be worn during sleep, showering and swimming. However, excessive exposure to oil can weaken adhesive bond. differ from "fake" or "false" eyelashes in that they are applied one extension to one lash. The procedure to attach the extensions takes an average of one and a half to two hours for a full set of extensions of roughly 30-80 lashes per eye. If properly applied with cyanoacrylate adhesive, eyelash extensions are designed to bond to one's natural eyelash. Eyelash extensions may last from two weeks to two months, depending on the cycle of hair growth. Most people choose black lashes, however, brown, red, green and purple are available. Mink lashes are available, and are sustainably harvested from live minks in the United States. The minks are combed out, their hair sanitized and the individual hairs are used. Mink sets may cost from $500.00 and up. Most technicians use nylon based hairs, however, not mink. Eyelash extensions have been around since the late 1990s, used mostly by fashion models and Hollywood. Eyelash extensions are worn by celebrities such as Nicole Kidman, Star Jones, Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, Lindsay Lohan, Gwen Stefani, Lucy Liu, Naomi Campbell and Liz Hurley. However, since the early 2000s, many suburban salons have offered this service. Eyebrow extensions are available as well, however are not as popular as eyelash extensions. False eyelash strips, or small groups of false eyelashes, are not considered to be "Eyelash Extensions." As hair grows out, it cycles and falls out naturally, thus shedding the extension with it. Only licensed estheticians may legally do eyelash extensions. In some States, cosmetologists may be allowed by law to perform eyelash extensions. Prices range depending on location of salon and type of service offered. Generally the price is $150.00 to $500.00 per set.
