DO NOT:

– directly shower on your eye area
– expose extensions to excessive heat (sun bathe, hot yoga, steamer, sauna)
– sleep facing down or on your side

What are Eyelash Extensions?
Eyelash extensions are individual lashes, made of a synthetic fiber such as nylon, which are professionally glued one by one to each of your top lashes. They enhance the length, thickness and fullness of natural lashes.
How does the application work?
Using long, pointed tweezers, the tech brushes a single synthetic lash in a dab of adhesive. With another pair of tweezers, she separates the natural lashes to isolate just one. She places the synthetic lash on the natural lash, holding it for a few seconds while the glue bonds. The tech repeats the process, one lash at a time, attaching 20 to 120 lashes per eye. The tech will use several lengths of lashes, attaching the longest artificial lashes to your shortest natural lashes. This is typical/basic eyelash extensions application procedure, however LASHISM has own professional technique that is faster and safer and extensions last longer.
What kind of glue does LASHISM use?
LASHISM uses only use surgical grade glue which made in Japan and quick-drying so it finishes in 3 hours.
How long do eyelash extensions take to apply?
FULL SET SESSIONS:
Applying a full set of lashes takes about one hour to two hours depends on how many natural lashes you have and how many eyelash extensions you want to get. LASHISM offers full set starting from 160 lashes or more.
REFILL SESSIONS:
Refills take between 30 and 60 minutes. LASHISM offers 30 minute, 45 minute, and 60 minutes refill sessions. It depends on how many extensions you have lost and how many you want to put back.
How long do Eyelash Extensions last?
Typically 2 to 4 weeks. Your natural lashes fall out every 60 to 90 days and you generally lose 1-5 lashes per day. So extensions are falling out with your natural lashes when they are ready to shed. It also depends on how well you maintain your eyelash extensions and on your life style. If you exercise, tan or go to the beach often, excessive sweat will cause the glue’s bond to break.
What are Eyelash Extensions made of?
LASHISM only uses Antibacterial premium sable synthetic lashes which are the best quality, safest and cleanest. Eyelash Extensions are made from a variety of materials. The most common are polyester, real silk and real mink. There are different length and thickness. There are three popular types of synthetic lashes: synthetic silk, synthetic mink and synthetic sable.
Do they damage your natural lashes?
Eyelash extensions are less damaging to your natural lashes than constant mechanical curling and daily applications of mascara. Also, we apply extensions 1-2 mm away from your hair follicles so when your natural lashes are naturally shedding, extensions are coming off with your natural lashes, and your new lashes will start to grow.
Will it hurt?
Not at all! In fact, some clients fall asleep. However, the procedure is very close to your eyes so you may feel a little discomfort but let the tech know immediately so our master tech can deal with this potential issue.
Can I wear eye make up?
Of course! As long as the products are oil free, you can wear make-up normally. CAUTION: make sure you will use only OIL FREE eye make-up remover. We can make recommendation for what makeup you can use with your eyelash extensions.
Can I wear mascara?
You can only use mascara for eyelash extensions and ONLY middle to tip of extensions. (DO NOT apply mascara to roots on top lashes) However, most of clients do not use mascara anymore because they are happy with the result. The bottom eyelash can wear any kind of mascara if you do not have bottom extensions on. You can get an eyelash extensions mascara at LASHISM.
Can I get my eyelash extensions wet?
You will need to wait 3 hours after the procedure with LASHISM’s glue. After 3 hours, you can do anything you want! Some clients assume they cannot wet at all but it is opposite. You have to wash/clean your lashes every day same as you brush your teeth. Trust us, cleaning lashes every day makes extensions last longer than if you do not.
How do I take care of them?
It is very simple and easy. Please see “HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR EYELASH EXTENSIONS” at the top of this page.
How often should I come back for refills?
Most clients want to keep them look full and nice. Since you naturally can shed up to 5 of your own lashes everyday, you will also shed the lash extension with it. To maintain your lash extensions, it will require touch-ups or refills, to replace them. This is a process of adding lash extensions to those new lashes that have reached the 5 to 6 week maturity level. With proper care and maintenance, you can keep the look indefinitely. Therefore, I recommend refills every 2 to 3 weeks to keep your lashes looking full and beautiful.
Can I remove them?
Yes. If you should feel the need they can easily be removed by a LASHISM technician using a specially formulated adhesive remover. The process is painless and safe and usually takes 15-30 minutes. You can also wait until they all naturally come off but that can take from 2 to 4 months for every single one to fall off. Please do not attempt to remove or pull them out by yourself. It can cause damage to your natural lashes.
Can I trim/cut them?
NO. They will look terrible. Please call/text us to discuss for more information at 954-866-3335.
