Eyelash Extensions
Like hair extensions, eyelash extensions add length,
thickness, and fullness to natural eyelashes.
As we approach dark
mornings, and shorter
days of the winter
months, the first
thought before going to bed and waking up
is the regime of removing and applying our
make-up. Unfortunately in this season we are
swayed by our warm beds
not to get up in any haste.
A treatment to make life
that bit easier is Eyelash
Extensions. Synthetic single
fiber polyester thread-like
materials are applied to
individual eyelashes to
create a fuller, longer look.
Mascara may be applied
but is recommended to be
non-water proof, and be
removed with a non-oil eye-makeup remover.
Applied with a black adhesive eyelash

lengths, thicknesses and can be worn during
sleep, showering and swimming. Eyelash
extensions may last depending on the cycle
of hair growth. This can be from two weeks
to two months. Eyelash extensions have been
around since the late 1990s, used mostly
by fashion models and celebrities. Eyelash
extensions create the
perfect look to compliment
and balance your facial
features for everyday or
that special Christmas
party or ball.
A patch test is required
at least 48 hours prior
treatment. The procedure
to attach 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.
