Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT ARE EYELASH EXTENSIONS?

The Lash Extensions used at Embrace Salon and Spa are synthetic Mink and are applied individually to the natural lash. We use a medical grade adhesive, that is fume, latex and formaldehyde free.

​

HOW LONG DO THEY USUALLY LAST?

A full set will last as long as your natural lash cycle, which is anywhere from 4-6 weeks, depending on the individual. We recommend getting a fill anywhere between 2 to 4 weeks.

​

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO APPLY THEM?

A full set of lashes can be applied anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hrs. We ask you to generally plan on 60-90 minutes for a fill as well. We like to remove any grown-out lashes, clean them up, and make your lashes look like brand new every time you come in. This will ensure the retention and life of your extensions. 

​

CAN I WEAR MAKEUP WITH MY LASHES?

YES! Although we don’t recommend wearing any mascara that isn't extension safe or oil-based products, as it will shorten the life of your lash extensions.

​

WILL LASH EXTENSIONS DAMAGE MY NATURAL LASHES?

No! When applied properly, with perfect isolation and weight eyelash extensions will not harm your natural lashes. Our lash artist is experienced and certified. The most important thing here is the integrity of your natural lash. During your initial consultation we will evaluate your natural lashes to ensure you get the lashes that work best for their health.

​

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY LASH EXTENSIONS?

Do not get the lashes wet for the first 24-48 hours including:

  • Steam

  • Tears

  • Showering

  • Swimming

  • Eye Makeup Remover

This is crucial to get the best retention possible.

Brush your lashes as needed, but never when they are wet.

No oil-based products

Do not touch, play with, or pick at your Lashes.

Do not use a lash curler on them.

Try to sleep on your back.

Remember to clean your lashes. The cleaner they are, the better the retention.

​

WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE MY LASH APPOINTMENT?

    Avoid any caffeine 2-3 hours of your appointment.
