FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are eyelash extensions?
Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent lashes that are individually applied to your natural eyelashes using a special adhesive. They enhance the length, fullness, and curl of your natural lashes, providing a dramatic or natural look based on your preference.
How long do eyelash extensions last?
Eyelash extensions typically last between 4-6 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle and how well you care for them. Regular touch-ups every 2-3 weeks can help maintain their fullness.
Are eyelash extensions safe?
Yes, when applied by a trained and experienced technician, eyelash extensions are safe. At 1010 Studios PVD, we use high-quality materials and follow strict hygiene protocols to ensure the safety and health of your eyes and natural lashes.
How long does the application process take?
The initial application of a full set of eyelash extensions usually takes about 2 to 3 hours depending on the set. Touch-up appointments typically take 1 hour to an 1.5 hours depending on the set.
Can I wear makeup with eyelash extensions?
Yes, you can wear makeup with eyelash extensions. However, avoid using oil-based or waterproof makeup and makeup removers, as they can weaken the adhesive bond and cause the extensions to fall out prematurely.
How should I care for my eyelash extensions?
Avoid getting your lashes wet for the first 24-48 hours after application.
Be gentle when cleaning your face and avoid rubbing your eyes.
Use a lash cleanser or a gentle, oil-free makeup remover.
Avoid using mascara, especially waterproof mascara.
Brush your lashes daily with a clean spoolie to keep them looking neat.
Can I swim, shower, or exercise with eyelash extensions?
Yes, you can swim, shower, and exercise with eyelash extensions once the initial 24-48 hours have passed. However, excessive exposure to water and steam can weaken the adhesive over time, so it’s best to minimize these activities when possible.
Will eyelash extensions damage my natural lashes?
When applied and cared for properly, eyelash extensions should not damage your natural lashes. It's important to have them applied by a trained professional and follow aftercare instructions to maintain the health of your natural lashes.
How do I prepare for my eyelash extension appointment?
Arrive with a clean face and no eye makeup.
Avoid using oil-based products around your eyes for at least 24 hours before your appointment.
If you wear contact lenses, consider removing them during the application process.
How are eyelash extensions removed?
Eyelash extensions should be professionally removed by a trained technician to avoid damaging your natural lashes. The removal process involves using a special adhesive remover that safely dissolves the bond between the extensions and your natural lashes.
