Helped to design aftercare, information, tricks, myths, and more. 

But we've decided to share some of our tips, no matter what day of the week it is. 

Enjoy our tips #6-10!

6) Eyelash Extension Sealer (Clear or Black) 
Eyelash extension sealer can be beneficial for someone who wants to have long lasting eyelash extensions.  Eyelash Extension sealer can be applied daily or every other day, making each eyelash extension and bond last longer. By coating them with a clear or black sealant, they help protect each eyelash extensions and bond from humidity, oils, water, debris, and more. This is a great "extra" for clients to use right after a freshly applied full set, since it will help cut down drying time and help with getting rid o any fumes that still linger.
Make sure to double check where the product comes from, and what the ingredients are.



7) Beware of "pre-made"or incorrect volume eyelash extensions
I've had a few clients walk in from competitors, that have these horrendous pieces of lashes on them. Not only can these cause damage, be too heavy in weight, and irritating, but they ALWAYS clump together. Looking like you have a lot of natural lashes, are great! But looking like you have a thick heavy lash,when it's truely 5-6 thin lashes bonded together or pre-made, are not true volume lashes. Volume lashes is an actual technique, NOT a pre-made lash extension. Pre-made extensions always clump, have a previous bond, and are usually to heavy. Imagine putting a cluster lash on one natural lash, it wouldn't be pretty. Make sure to ask technicians how they apply these volume lashes. If they say they are pre-made" than run for the hills. However, if they say it's a manual technique, request to see a few pictures of there work to help give you a visual of what you are looking for in particular. Volume lashes are usually a great way to hide spots that lack natural lashes, and help blend and camouflage the area, or are for clients who do not have a lot of natural lashes in the first place. Save yourself the difficulties, time, money, and more. If you want more information on volume lashes, read more here:

8) Make-Up Removing Tip: on Lash, Lid, and for make up removal
For my clients who are avid make-up junkies, this will be extremely beneficial for you! Eye shadow's and liners are meant for eyelids, not lashes! SO for clients that use high pigmented eye shadow's or eyeliner that flakes off, transfers or has a light dusting that won't come off of lashes, DO NOT FEAR! There is a solution! Try to avoid using Q-tips, since the cottons can snag, but instead use either a make-up sponge (triangle) or a lip gloss tipped wand. You can find either at CVS or most beauty supply stores. These will never snag or leave a residue on lashes. But take a business card or whatever you have on hand that's stiff and that you don't mind getting wet or make-up on. You can place the card over your lashes or under. By placing it above you can have an easier time applying mascara or cleaning. With the card being under neath (the opposite) take a sponge or lip gloss wand and get them damp or moist with a bit with water or water/soap, or make up remover (make sure to use oil free!). Slowly brush down and wipe off the residue off the lashes! Its that easy. You can also use the trick to put mascara on, to make sure you never get it on your skin, and more.

9) Problem with fumes? Have good circulation
Feeling a little "wiped out" after getting your lashes done? Burning, like chopping an onion feeling, or if your sinuses are feeling like you've been breathing a strong fume, the culprit may be the adhesive. It's not usual, but each technician should be able to help accommodate the issue. Don't suck it up or lay there uncomfortable. Ask your technician if they can have better circulation, like a fan to be set up - at least on a low or minimum setting, that way the fan will not jeopardize there work, but the small amount of a consistent breeze will help keep the fumes away from each client and help with drying time. If client's experience a fume or burning, it may not be the fan, ask your technician to check the tape, or if the eye pad is too much of a barrier, or check to see if your eyes are closed the entire way. These can be a few culprits, but will be better in the long run, especially for full set and fills.

10) Stay away from Oil based, waterproof or fiber mascara's. 
We can't preach enough about staying away from OIL anything. This also includes a few mascaras. Luckily, most mascaras are mainly clay and or water based. And these are OK. Especially for clients who want to apply mascara on the bottom lashes or for a more dramatic appearance, or all over in-between lash fills. Most clients who get eyelash extensions, don't care to have mascara, since the eyelash extensions and bonds are already "black", curled, cured, thicker, longer, etc. But each woman want's to achieve something different. So for our clients, or avid make-up mascara wearers, there is hope. But let us explain.
Since most eyelash extension adhesive is oil based, we suggest to stay away from any oils. Oil mixed with Oil will MIX, meaning our adhesive used with oil based products will combine and loosen the bonds, meaning you'll lose lash extensions and bonds faster than normal. Because of this, check the ingredients and make sure you're mascara is water based, and contains no oils or mineral oils. Another mascara to stay away from would be waterproof, because it's a pain to get off and contains oils, and fiber mascaras. Fiber mascara's are almost 1000000000x worse than waterproof and oils. Because your applying a layer of fibers that are hard, and coating mascara on top. With 1 or more layers in between, it'll be a disaster attempting to get this stuff off. Not only does the mascara contain oils, but whats the point of eyelash extensions if your applying more crap on top? If your looking for more length, curl, height, or fullness, ask your technician to change the length, curl, width, etc. This may help achieve the look you want, without the extra make-up.
