When applied by skilled technicians they will look completely natural, only much longer and fuller. They will feel like your own eyelashes.
You can expect your first appointment to take approximately 2 hr. Unlike some salons I do not count eyelashes, a full set is a full set. I will use as many as are needed to create the right look for you. If you are happy, then I am happy.

Yes and no. Yes, your lashes can be damaged if you go to someone who was not properly trained and uses cheap products not intended for long wear. No, extensions properly applied by a certified, trained technician who uses quality products should not. My eyelash extension application techniques and innovative aftercare ensures your lash health.
True allergic reactions do happen, but are rare. If you have developed an allergic reaction you may still wear extensions with some changes made to the aftercare process. What is more common is eye infection due to improperly washing and caring for your lashes.
Lash growth products that contain steroids change the composition of your lashes and accelerate your eyelash shedding cycle, therefore we cannot guarantee the outcome. Natural lash growth products containing peptides are wonderful and will have no adverse effect on the longevity of your extensions.
No, you will not need to use mascara with your lash extensions, but for nights that you want extra drama you can use a water-based mascara. See the aftercare section below for tips on using mascara.
After Care
Now that you have eyelash extensions, take note of these tips to maintain them. With proper care and fills your eyelashes can last indefinitely. Do not get your eyelashes wet for the first 24 hours. Do not use a spa, sauna or pool for the first 24 hours. The extensions need that amount of time to properly bond. Avoid pulling or rubbing your eyes. Do not use eyelash curlers with your extensions. With proper application you will not need them. ONLY use oil-free makeup remover. If your eyelashes are tangled or crossed over, use the Spoolie given to you during your appointment to gently brush them straight and put them in place. Proper hygiene is very important. Please keep lashes clean by regular washing. Use only mascaras that are safe for eyelash extensions, no oil-based or waterproof mascaras. After showering avoid rubbing lashes, it best to blot them with a towel and let them air dry. You can also dry the lashes by using a hair dryer on the cool setting and blowing them dry from the bottom up. It makes them curlier and fluffier. Use care when applying facial and eye creams to avoid the lash line. Too many oil-based products can break down the adhesive. Touch-up appointments is recommended every two to three weeks to maintain your new eyelash extensions.
◦ Microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow procedure that uses a fine blade to place pigment into the skin. The effect is closely to the look and detail of actual brow hairs, creating a bolder, natural-looking brow. This procedure does not need a tattoo machine and is quite different from a traditional tattoo.
◦ Microblading is the best way to create natural-looking brows.
Microshading and ombré shading is also a semi-permanent eyebrow procedure where it uses a needle that places semi-permanent pigment in the skin.
The overall look of the eyebrows is more like make-up look compared to the microblading. Some clients prefer this style or clients who has an oily skin complexion, this technique might be more suitable for better healed results.
This is combining microblading and ombré shading together. Usually microblading is placed at the fronts of the brows to keep it looking more hair-like strokes and shading is in the middle of the brows to the tails to keep the shape defined. If your skin is more oily, this technique is perfect for retention. Also it maybe more ideal for mature skin.
They will last between 1-2 years. We recommend that our clients come in for an annual touch-up to keep the brow colour looking fresh and defined.
Microblading is a safe procedure and suitable for most people. However, if you have any of the following conditions, please consult with your doctor.
• Pregnant and/or breast-feeding
• Diabetic
• On blood thinning medication
• Have had injections/fillers in the brow area within the last 6 months
If you have any other medical conditions that you are unsure of, please email us and we will be happy to answer your questions.
The initial procedure takes approximately 2:30-3 hours. The appointment includes consultation, brow shaping, colour matching and microblading and shading.
A topical anesthetic is used to numb the brow area prior to the procedure. You can expect some minor level of discomfort during the procedure.
A lash lift (perm) shapes and curls your lashes and creates semi-permanent hold.
A lash lift treatment usually takes 1 hr. If you do eyelash tint at the same time (highly recommended as it enhances the effect of lash lift), it take about another 20 minutes .
Like anything else, if done incorrectly or inexperienced person you could have not a good lash lift experience.
Otherwise lash lift is a very relaxing treatment with minimal or zero discomfort.
The lash lift lasts between 5-7 weeks and this depends on your lash growth cycle which can be different from person to person.
Lash lift is a very low maintenance treatment, however a little extra care is important for first 1-2 days after the treatment.
• Do not get your lashes wet for 24hr.
• Don’t rub your lashes.
• Avoid heat and steam for long-lasting results.
• Don’t use make-up on your eyes and lashes for 24 hours.
• Avoid waterproof mascaras.
The short answer is yes, but avoid makeup for at least 24 hours after your lash lift treatment.
• If you’re patient with your lashes and could do taking care of them then eyelash extensions are for you. Whereas, if you want low maintenance and just to wake up with perfect lashes and ready to go, then lash lifts will be the right choice for you.
• Lash lifts won’t give you the lash extensions’ voluminous effect, unless you’ve got already plenty of long lashes.
HEALING
Within a few first days, the lines will begin to scab. This is completely natural but it may look a little patchy. To relieve the brows of itchiness or dryness, you may use the oil we provided in your appointment. Once the scab falls off naturally, the lines will start to appear darker and fuller, more natural look within a few weeks. Everyone's skin is different so they may heal differently. Depending on your skin type and how well your body heals from small scabs, some areas might retain pigment better than others. Please be patient and know that we are committed to getting you the results you want.
