Eyelash Extensions Questions
What Are Eyelash Extensions?
Lash Extensions are synthetic strands that are made to replicate a natural
eyelash. When applied, Eyelash Extensions lengthens and thickens your
own natural eyelashes. Single strands are applied to each individual eyelash,
one by one. With proper application, lash extensions look and feel completely natural.
How long will a set of Eyelash Extensions last?
When applied by a professional, eyelash extensions will last the length of the
natural growth cycle of your eyelashes, usually between 3 and 4 weeks.
Depending on your activity and day-to-day routine, touchups should only be
required every 2 to 3 weeks.
How often should I get touch-ups?
We recommend getting a touch up every 2 to 3 weeks. A touch up is needed to fill in any lashes that have fallen due to the natural cycle of your own
lashes. Touch ups average about 45 minutes.
Are Terra Spa Lashes safe?
Terra Spa Lash Studio only use pharmaceutical grade adhesive which never comes in contact with your skin. Synthetic eyelashes are adhered about 1mm away from your skin.
Can I apply mascara to Eyelash Extensions?
Mascara is not really required since the extensions actually give the illusion of wearing mascara. In fact, one of the many benefits of eyelash extensions is that you do not need to use mascara. If you must apply mascara, however, only use water-based mascara. DO NOT USE OIL-BASED OR WATER-PROOF MASCARA as they can dissolve the bonding agent used and they can shorten the life of your eyelash extensions. Use care when washing off the water-based mascara and only use a water based eye makeup remover.
Can I swim, shower, exercise, or visit a spa while wearing Eyelash Extensions?
Yes. The bonding agent used to apply you eyelash extensions is waterproof and allows you to shower, swim, exercise etc.
How soon can I wash my face after the extensions are applied?
We recommend that you do not wash your eye area for about 12- 24 hours after the eyelash application. A special waterproof bonding agent is used. Glue does not contain any fumes or irritants and is long lasting.
How do I take care of my new Eyelash Extensions?
Do not get lashes wet for the first 12- 24 hours
Avoid hot steam or sauna
For longer lasting lashes, limit the use of running water directly on your lashes
Avoid rubbing your eyes excessively
Use water based eye makeup remover
Do not perm your lashes
Do not use a mechanical eyelash curler
Do not pull on your lashes
How long will it take to Apply Eyelash Extensions and how is it done?
The application process for lash extensions normally takes anywhere about 60 minutes to 2 hours. You will lay comfortably on a massage table with your eyes closed. Relaxing ambiance music is played while the therapist applies your lash extensions. Your lower lashes will be covered. The extensions will be then applied to your upper lashes one at a time.
How do I choose the look I want?
Eyelash extensions are available in a number of lengths and thickness. Your therapist will consult with you to understand what type of style you are interested in. The overall look of the lashes is very natural.
Do I have to do anything to prepare for the service?
You should thoroughly clean your lashes with a mild cleanser. Do not use oily makeup remover to clean your lashes prior to the application. Lashes should not be curled (unless directed otherwise by your therapist) and all mascara should be removed.
I wear contacts. Can I still get lash extensions?
Yes! Since lash extensions do not touch your skin, they do not conflict or interfere with your contacts or normal daily activities.
Do I need an appointment?
Yes! We work by appointment only. You can make an appointment by phone, text or Online
