what is the difference between volume and classic lashes?
Classic lashes use heavier single lash which is applied to each natural eyelash. Volume lashes use a hand made fan of 2-5 lighter lashes that are applied to each natural eyelash. Classic lashes give a natural "mascara" look. Our volume lashes are lighter in weight which make them a great option for anyone with thin, sparse lashes as we are able to control the density of the set using hand made fans.
Will eyelash extensions damage my lashes?
No. This is a huge misconception in the lash industry. The reason damage occurs to the natural lashes is when the lashes are not applied properly. When natural lashes are glued together or an extension that is too heavy is applied damage will occur. However, we are a damage-free lash studio which means we will only apply each extension to one of your natural lashes allowing them to grow out with your natural lash cycle. We will also never apply extensions that are too long or heavy for your natural lashes to handle.
How long do they last?
Depending on your lifestyle, aftercare and natural shedding cycle, a fill is required every 2-3 weeks. During your fill appointment, we will remove grown out lashes and replace them with fresh ones. Remember, you must have at least 40% of your lashes left for it to be considered a fill. Please come to your refill appointment with clean lashes.
What should and shouldn't I do with my Eyelash extensions?
YOU SHOUT NOT...
・ Wet or expose your lashes to any water or steam (hot tubs, saunas, hot yoga etc.) for the first 24 hours.
・ Wash your lashes under a shower head (the pressure of the shower head will make your lashes fall out much quicker).
・ Use any oil based products on or around your eyes (makeup remover, eye creams, sunscreen etc.).
・ Use any cotton pads or Q-tips around your lashes. Cotton fibres will tangle around your lashes.
・ Use products containing any glycols as they can break down the bond and shorten the life of the extensions.
・ Use any mascara.
・ Use a lash Curler. You will permanently bend your lashes and they cannot be repaired.
・ Touch, pull, twist or rub your lashes.
・ Sleep on your face or side
YOU SHOULD...
・ Keep your lashes as clean as possible!
・Wash your lashes every 3 days with recommended lash cleanser and brush.
・ Brush daily, not when wet.
・ Sleep on your back. Silk pillow cases help lashes stay on longer.
・ Clean your lashes with clean water after get wet from pool or ocean water. If chlorine or salt water stay on the lashes for too long, they tend to dry out and come off quickly.
・ Come for fills every 2-3 weeks.

Can you fill my lashes done by another salon?
No, we do not fill over existing extensions from other salons. If you are currently wearing extensions from elsewhere, a removal and full set must be booked.
Do you use real mink lashes?
No we don't! The health of our clients' eyes is our number one priority and because animal hair can never be 100% sterilized, it can cause allergic reactions.

Are eyelash extensions safe with pregnant or breastfeeding?
Generally speaking, eyelash extensions are a safe and non-invasive cosmetic procedure. The adhesive does not ouch your skin as the extensions are glued to the eyelashes. Allergic reactions to the adhesive are rare and reactions can be treat. In saying this, I do not recommend that pregnant women who have not had eyelash extensions before test out the procedure during their pregnancy.
- Firstly, the eyelash extension procedure requires you to lay flat on your back for about 2 hours, a position that is not recommended for women in the advanced stage of pregnancy. It also requires that you lay quite still which can be difficult if you are heavily pregnant.
- Secondly, because pregnancy changes hormone levels which in turn can make your hypersensitive to things you've never had a problem with before. If an allergic reaction was to occur the medication needed cannot be taken during pregnancy.
Hormones also affect eyelash extensions. Hormones in the body can greatly affect the lifespan of your eyelash extensions and cause a surge in lash loss so your eyelash extensions might not last as long whole you are pregnant and after your have a baby.
