They are individual extensions made of a synthetic material to look like perfect natural eyelashes; thicker at the base and thinner at the tip with a slight curl. They come in many different colors; the most popular is Solid Black. They are adhered one by one to a natural lash with a medical-grade bonding adhesive giving the appearance of a darker, more voluptuous lash-line.
An average eyelid has approximately 100 natural hairs which shed at an average rate of 20-30% every 2 weeks. Therefore, when the natural hair sheds, so does the extension that was attached to it. Since new hairs are always growing in, refills can be performed to attach extensions to the new growth keeping the lashes looking full continuously or for as long as you wish to maintain them.
On average, refills are recommended every 2-3 weeks to keep the lashes looking their best. With proper maintenance semi-permanent eyelash extensions can be kept up indefinitely through regular refills.
Anyone with an eyelash to attach to can receive eyelash extensions. However, if you have any of the following conditions we advise you to schedule a free consultation with a Lash Lounge stylist prior to scheduling a full set to best determine if lashes are right for you.
Our application technique and premium products will not damage your natural lashes. It is imperative to the health of your lashes to have each natural hair isolated when an extension is adhered to it and ensure proper separation so that the hairs can continue to grow and shed as they would naturally. We only use formaldehyde-free, medical-grade adhesives which are made exclusively for lash extensions and offer a more sensitive adhesive for our guests who are more prone to allergic reactions. This combination of our top quality adhesive and individual lash attachment will sustain the health and integrity of the natural hairs indefinitely.
All Lash Lounge lashes are made of a sterilized, top-quality synthetic material and are custom manufactured exclusively for our salons using a double-heat roll process to provide the longest-lasting curl available. Our premium silk lashes are tapered slightly at the ends and are thicker through the body, with a dark semi-matte satin finish providing a beautiful full appearance. Our premium mink lashes are our lightest and most vibrant lash extension, tapered approximately 2/3 down from the tip with a beautiful deep black, semi-gloss finish providing a longer-lasting hold and gorgeous soft appearance.
Classic Lash extensions are our signature lash application where the attachment of 1 extension is applied to 1 natural eyelash. The result is an enhanced lash line, yet very natural and realistic in appearance. Multi-Volume Plus lash extensions are our premium volume lash application where we apply 2 or more of our lightest lash extensions to 1 natural eyelash. Our MVP lashes offer incredible fullness and last longer than our classic lash application while still providing an enhanced natural appearance.
All Stylist levels are trained and certified on The Lash Lounge proprietary lash application method and our complimentary services. As a Stylist advances in their skill level, they are trained on additional services offered at The Lash Lounge as well as advanced level application methods. The different levels of Stylist are determined based on a variety of factors. Their skill-set, knowledge-base, application speed, quality, and tenure are a few of the factors that lead to Senior and/or Master level promotions. Master Stylists are our top stylists and are the lead experts in the salon. Not only do they demonstrate a mastery level in lash application, but they also provide training and guidance in all aspects of the salon, from application to customer interactions.
Our eyelash extensions look and feel completely real as each application is customized to your eye shape, natural lash line, and desired look. We offer different curls, thicknesses, and lengths that are indistinguishable in weight to human lashes thereby providing a weightless feel to your lash line. Our experienced, professional lash stylists will choose a variety of extensions to create the most flattering, natural, and beautiful look for you.
The application process is very relaxing, just like receiving a spa service. You will lie back on a plush table and have your eyes closed the entire time. The application is very gentle and can be best described as though someone is gently brushing through your lashes. The service generally takes between 60 to 120 minutes to apply a full set and refills can be done in as little as 30 to 60 minutes. The procedure is so relaxing and comfortable that many clients fall asleep.
It can take up to 8 hours for the eyelash extension adhesive to fully cure the bond between your natural lash and the extensions. Avoid swimming, spas, saunas and tanning on the day of your lash appointment. After the 8 hours, they are able to get wet. While sleeping, lashes can tangle or flip to the side. Brush through your lashes each morning with a clean mascara wand to reshape the extension and keep them fluffed into place. The overall upkeep is very minimal and very easy to manage.
Eyelash extensions can be easily removed by a Lash Lounge Stylist using a special gel remover formulated to quickly dissolve the medical-grade adhesive and gently wipe away the lash extensions. The process is painless and will not harm your natural hairs – taking less than 30 minutes. Please do not attempt to remove lash extensions yourself as this can cause damage to your natural lashes.
