| Frequently Asked Questions: Eyelash Extensions are not for everyone. It is a maintenance beauty treatment |
| What are Eyelash Extensions? DermaGlow® Eyelash Extensions are individual synthetic lashes. They are attached to your eyelashes individually & not to your skin. It is a very enhancing beauty service and you do NOT need to use mascara while wearing DermaGlow®Eyelash Extensions, and it is NOT recommended. It is a very meticulous and intense service that requires skill and precision. Once properly applied, these lashes are so natural looking it is difficult to tell even up close that you have extensions on. Size availability ranges in different lengths and degrees of curl. Lashes are available in Black, Brown and other festive colors such as purple, blue & green are available, including Candy Lashes for extra sparkle. They are virtually weightless. I heard Eyelash Extensions will damage my natural lashes. If the technician is not properly trained and qualified, Eyelash Extensions could possibly damage your lashes leaving you with ugly “bald spots.” The Eyelash Extension process is meticulous; your results depend first on the skill of your technician and, secondarily, the product used. There are people who call themselves Eyelash Extension specialists, but who have not actually obtained training, much less are they certified. Even if they are certified, very few “extensionists” do eyelashes more than once a month. This procedure is new to the United States and not yet regulated, which makes it easy for unscrupulous opportunists to call themselves Eyelash Extension specialists. Don’t be fooled! Do your research. Always ask your technician to show you their certification and which product (and safety certifications) they use. How long do the Eyelashes last? It is totally an individual process. The Lashes will stay on your lashes for your remaining natural lash life; we normally lose one eyelash everyday. We also grow a new lash to replace the one that fell out. These Lashes can stay on up to 60 days with proper care and forever with monthly maintenance. However, general after care will affect how long the lashes last. How much does it cost? For a full eyelash extension set, industry prices range from $300 - $600. A full set of DermaGlow® Extensions start at $150. Touch ups to maintain your Eyelash Extensions fullness start at $75 for every 3-4 week fills, or scheduled your fill appointments in advance every 2 weeks and pay only $40 per fill! Do the False Eyelashes damage my natural Eyelashes? No, not at all if applied properly! Our Lash adhesive is physician formulated and the only US AEWCA- approved lash adhesive on the market to create a polypeptide bond, specifically for human lashes. The adhesive dries very soft on lashes, allowing the lashes to stay flexible and bouncy just like your own lashes. The Eyelash Extensions will adhere to your natural lashes softly and comfortably while not damaging your natural lashes or causing the natural lashes to fall out, you must not try to remove the Eyelash Extensions on your own. Who wears eyelash extensions? Women aged 16 to 88... Valuable for busy moms, professional women, brides, mature women—any woman who wants to save time getting ready everyday & look enhanced everyday, all day. Women who don’t want to worry about mascara smears or clumps. Women who don’t want the hassle of eyelash curlers. Can I wear mascara with my Eyelashes? These Lashes naturally darken your lashes, your lashes will look vivid and mascara is NOT necessary and NOT recommended. Rubbing directly on the lashes, or using mascara remover will weaken the bonding. This may also twist the extensions or make them fall out. We strongly recommend that you avoid wearing mascara, curling and rubbing your Eyes or pulling the Eyelash Extensions, however you may wear water-soluble mascara if desired as DermaGlow® does sell mascara made especially for lash extensions. Can the Eyelashes be removed? Yes, at any time and for any reason. They can be easily removed by DermaGlow®'s extensionist. Please do not attempt to remove any lashes on your own—you can damage your natural lashes this way. We’re happy to help you with removal at DermaGlow®. What I should do before my DermaGlow® Eyelash Extension appointment: •Remove all eye makeup and clean your lashes with mild, oil free cleanser. •Please don’t use oil based makeup removers to clean your lashes prior to the application. •Please don’t put on any mascara the day of your appointment; we'd rather spend your time working on perfecting your lashes. If mascara is worn it must be removed and this is an extra cost for time. •Please remove contact lenses and wear glasses to your appointment, or bring a lens case and remove them when you arrive at your appointment. •Plan to set aside 2 to 3 hours for your full set appointment & 1 hour for your fill appointment. Many of our clients fall asleep during the procedure. They are always amazed when they wake up with gorgeous looking lashes. After-Care Following these important after-care instructions will aid in extending the life of your lash extensions. The first 48 hours following your application are most crucial. Care must be taken not to rub your eyes, pull your lashes, or scratch. Also, any creams, eye makeup removers, lotions, or cleansers containing oils can loosen the bond of the lash extensions. Care must be taken to apply eye cream sparingly with avoidance of the lash line area. In the shower, you should avoid direct water spray on your extensions, do not allow use a steam bath, swim, or wash your face directly with hot water during your initial 48 hours of the application. It is not necessary to use an eyelash curler, your new lashes are pre-curled. Do not use a regular Eyelash curler, it may break both the lash extension and your natural lashes. Do not rub your eyes or lashes when washing your face, gently clean around the Eyes with a wash cloth or fingers or a damp Q-Tip. Do not pull your lash extensions, it may take out your own lash as well. What happens if a lash should loosen or become dislodged? Do not pull on the lash; contact DermaGlow® to make an appointment to have them replaced. As your natural lashes fall out due to the growth cycle, you will need monthly fills as your new lashes grow in. As your natural lashes become accustomed to the extensions and with a little practice maintaining the lashes, the time between refills can be extended. |
