Lash extensions FAQ Hertfordshire

12 most asked questions about eyelash extensions.

1. How to prepare for an eyelash extension appointment?

On the day of your appointment avoid drinks like coffee and energy drinks, they may cause twitching of your eyelids and make your eyes water during the application.

Do not perm your lashes before your lash appointment.

In case your lashes are very light, you may want to have them tinted first.

Avoid oil based and instant make up removers, eyelash curlers and waterproof mascara. If you wear contact lenses, you will need to remove them for your application so please bring your glasses with you.

Please remove eye make-up and wash your lashes before each appointment.

2. What to expect during your lash appointment at Beauty Bar?

When booking your appointment, you have a choice of different sets. These sets have different fullness and take different time to apply. You can select the set that best fits your expectations.

Your appointment starts with a consultation. You will fill out a consultation form and we will discuss the final lash look you would like to achieve.

We can answer all your questions about eyelash extensions. We will let you know exactly what we are doing and how to take care of your eyelash extensions at home.

After the application is complete you will receive a small eyelash extensions brush and written after care instructions. If you will have any further questions or concerns, you can always contact us.

3. What type of lashes do we use?

We offer a wide range of eyelash extensions including synthetic silk and mink lashes. These extensions are lightweight, flexible and are safe with no side effects. The application process involves attaching extensions to each of your individual lashes. It is a pain-free and relaxing procedure.

4. Why eyelash extensions need infills?

Natural eyelashes have a lifespan of 2 to 3 months, after which they naturally shed. We need to replace fallen out eyelashes, as the extension attached to the natural lash will also fall out with it. We recommend to top lashes up every 2-3 weeks, the frequency depends on the aftercare and eyelash life cycle. To make sure consistently stunning lashes, they should be infilled when there is still 50% of the lashes from the original set left.

5. Are lash extensions safe?

Eyelash extensions, when are properly applied, separated properly, with correct amount of glue, are safe and can be worn for years. Properly applied extensions do not compromise the health of natural lashes.

Lash extensions should be applied to the natural eyelashes only, and not on the skin. This lowers chances for any allergic reactions. In case of known allergy to a lash glue this procedure is contraindicated and not considered safe.

6. Can lash extensions pull out my natural lashes?

When applied correctly lash extensions shouldn’t cause any discomfort or damage to your natural lashes. You should avoid rubbing or picking at the extensions to prevent any potential impact on your natural lashes.

7. Do we use different lengths and shapes of lash extensions?

Certainly! We have wide option of different lashes. Lengths from 7mm to 15mm, thickness from 0.05mm to 0.25mm, and shapes like J, B, C, D, L, and L+. We customise a look that works best for you – because your lashes should be as unique as you are!

8. How long do eyelash extensions last?

After the initial application you will need touch ups – think of eyelash extensions like maintaining acrylic nails. You will need a touch up between 2-3 weeks. With a proper aftercare, avoiding mascara and heavy eye makeup, the extensions can last longer and need fewer infills.

You will be losing your extensions with your natural lash cycle, usually around 3 lashes daily. Larger sets will last longer as they have more lash extensions applied.

9. Can I wear makeup with lash extensions?

Absolutely, you can still wear makeup that is water based and appropriate for eyelash extensions. Use a glycol-free makeup remover. When removing your eyeliner, use a cotton bud. Avoid mascara on your extensions, it will make the removal challenging and reduce the life of your gorgeous eyelash extensions.

10. Can I get my lashes wet?

In the initial 24 hours after your appointment, keep your eyelashes dry-no water, steam, or spray tans. Once the glue has set, you can get them wet. Swimming, beach holidays, you’re good to go after that first day.

11. Can men wear eyelash extensions?

Eyelash extensions are for everyone! The beauty industry is buzzing with the trend of professional semi-permanent eyelashes for men. We’ll adapt the length and thickness just for you, creating a natural looking set that enhances your eyes without being too obvious. Your good looks will do the talking!

12. Why we don't infill lashes after more than 3 weeks?

As your natural lashes grow, the extensions attached to them are also moving. At 4 weeks, even if you still have around 50% of your lashes from original set left, those extensions are very grown out and hanging at the tips of your natural lashes.
