Q&A

Eyelash Extensions is a practice that enhances the length, thickness and fullness to natural eyelashes. The extensions may consist of silk, mink, or synthetic hair. Methods of applying the extensions include full strips, clusters, and individual, one-by-one extensions. At Dash of Lash we only apply individual (one-to-one) extensions. That means only 1 lash extension is applied to 1 natural lash. We never use strips or clusters!!!!  We only use the highest quality lashes and lash adhesives. At Dash of Lash you are paying for quality. Beware of cheap/discounted lash extension deals. You may be paying for "cluster" lashes, strips, or pre-made "fan" lashes. Those types of lashes are not made for long time use and can actually damage your lash growth cycle.  With individual lash extensions, your natural lashes will not be harmed.  For examples of Cluster and strip lashes

Currently the FDA is not regulating eyelash extensions because the eyelash extensions are applied to the natural eyelash hairs and do not touch the skin. The application process is pain-free and relaxing that most clients fall asleep during the procedure.

However, improper application by an unqualified eyelash technician can cause damage to your natural lashes. We recommend only using a Certified Eyelash Extension Specialist. Make sure to do your homework and only get your lashes done by a licensed specialist who has gone through proper lash training/certification. 

After all it is your eyes, you deserve the best! 

The natural growth cycle of your lashes is 6-8 weeks. With proper after care lash extensions should last about 4-6 weeks with reccomended 2-3 week refills. 

Caution:

Wetting lashes less than 24hrs after your lash appointment, changes in hormone levels, increased stress, seasonal allergies, crying, prescription medications, excessive rubbing of eyes, washing face and lashes with cleansers containing glycol and/or oil, rubbing face with towel or washcloth and sleeping on your face may decrease the life of your lash extensions.

• You are eligible for a fill if at least 40% of your extensions are still in place.
• Most abolish clients find that every 2 to 3 weeks works well for them.
• Clients with no, or very few lashes left, will be charged for a new full set. 

Yes, lash extensions can be removed. There is generally a half hour service time.

Depending on the lash selection chosen by you and your technician, service times run between 90 Min and  225minutes. Remember the fuller and more dramatic the set the more time the artist needs to make sure those fans are open, and that they are isolating your natural lashes

Prior to your appointment, try your best to arrive without any eye makeup, do not curl your lashes or wear mascara the day before and the day of your appointment. It will help minimize the cleanup time and more time for lashing.

There is no harm to your fetus during the application of eyelash extensions. However due to you laying on your back for an extended period of time, please notify your technician in advance so the proper adjustments can be made, since we have been doing lashes for quite some time, don't worry we know how to accommodate to those mommy's-to-be.
