Eyelash Extensions
Longer Lashes with Added Volume
The eyelash extension treatment is an aesthetic procedure that involves applying individual synthetic lashes to the natural lashes to enhance their length, volume, and curl. This treatment aims to provide a more striking and defined look without the need for mascara. Extensions come in various lengths, thicknesses, and styles, tailored to the client's preferences and desired appearance.
Steps:
-
Initial Consultation:
-
Assessment and Design: During the consultation, the client’s preferences regarding lash length, thickness, and style are discussed. An evaluation is performed to determine the condition of the natural lashes and the most suitable type of extensions.
-
Preparation:
-
Cleansing of Eyelids and Lashes: The eye area is cleansed to remove any makeup residue, oil, or impurities.
-
Application of Protective Patch: Gel pads or protective patches are placed under the eyes to protect the skin and lower lashes during the procedure.
3. Eyelash Extension Application:
-
Selection and Application: The lash extensions are selected according to the agreed design. A specialized adhesive is used to individually attach each extension to a natural lash. The process is meticulous and may take several hours.
-
Adjustments and Review: The final result is reviewed, and adjustments are made if necessary to ensure an even distribution and a natural finish.
4. Aftercare:
-
Maintenance Instructions: Recommendations are provided on how to care for the extensions, including using oil-free products and avoiding rubbing the eyes.
General Characteristics

Types of Extensions: There are different styles such as classic (one extension per natural lash), volume (multiple extensions per natural lash for a fuller look), and hybrid (a mix of both).

Longevity: Extensions typically last between 4 and 6 weeks, depending on the natural lash growth cycle and aftercare.
-
Application Time: The procedure can take between 1.5 and 3 hours, depending on the style and number of extensions applied.

Maintenance: Fills are recommended every 2 to 4 weeks to maintain a full look, as natural lashes shed regularly and extensions fall out with them.
