Lash Extensions

Will lash extensions damage my natural lashes?

When lash extensions are applied correctly by a trained professional, with the right weight, length, and isolation, they should not damage your natural lashes. Proper application and aftercare ensure natural lashes can grow and shed without stress.

Can I wear contact lenses with lash extensions?

Yes — you can wear contact lenses with lash extensions. It’s usually best to remove them during the application for comfort, but once lashes are in place and you’re comfortable, most people wear their contacts normally.

Do lash extensions feel heavy or uncomfortable?

No — when done right, lash extensions should feel weightless and comfortable, almost like you don’t even notice them. If you feel tugging, stickiness, or discomfort, it may be due to improper isolation or adhesive placement, and you should let your lash artist know.

Is it normal for lash glue to feel hard or stickier as the lashes grow out?

No. If you feel glue, stickiness, or any tugging when touching your lashes, that’s often a sign that extension placement or glue use needs correction. Properly applied lashes should feel smooth and natural, with no noticeable adhesive texture.

Why do some lashes look uneven between eyes?

Natural lashes are rarely perfectly symmetrical. Differences in lash density and growth patterns can make extensions appear slightly varied from one eye to the other, especially as lashes shed in different cycles. A skilled lash artist will balance them as much as possible during application and at fill appointments.

Can I swim, shower, or exercise with lash extensions?

Yes! Lash extensions are water-resistant, so you can swim, shower, and work out — after the first 24-48 hours of application to allow the adhesive to fully cure. Regular aftercare, especially cleaning lashes after sweating or swimming, helps prolong their lifespan.

How often should I schedule fill appointments?

Most clients schedule fills every 2–3 weeks to maintain fullness and balance. Waiting much longer may result in gaps and the need for a partial or full set refresh.

Are allergic reactions to lash extensions common?

Allergic reactions to quality lash adhesive are rare, but they can happen. Many studios offer patch testing before application for clients with sensitive eyes to ensure comfort and safety.

Can I wear eye makeup with lash extensions?

Yes — but it’s best to avoid oil-based makeup, waterproof formulas, and heavy mascaras, as they can weaken the adhesive and shorten lash retention. Use extension-safe eye products and remove makeup gently.

How long does a first-time lash appointment take?

A full set usually takes about 1–1.5 hours, depending on lash style (classic, hybrid, volume) and customization needs.

What happens if I get my lashes wet too soon after application?

Getting lashes wet or exposing them to excessive steam before the adhesive cures can weaken the bond and shorten wear time — that’s why the first 24-48 hours of dryness are critical for retention.

Can I get lash extensions with sensitive eyes?

Yes — many salons offer hypoallergenic adhesive options and patch testing to ensure comfort for those with sensitive eyes or mild allergies.

What’s the difference between synthetic, silk, and mink lash materials?

Different lash materials vary in weight, texture, and finish: synthetic lashes tend to be firmer and glossier, silk lashes softer, and mink lashes lighter with a feather-like texture. The best choice depends on your natural lashes and desired look.

Is it possible to get brown lash extensions?

Yes! Brown lash extensions are the go-to choice when you want lashes that look like you were born with them—just better. They add definition and lift without the high-contrast “lash line” effect some women get with black extensions. Brown lashes are especially flattering for clients with blonde, light brown, red, or highlighted hair, fair-to-medium skin tones, and lighter eyes, and they’re a favorite for women over 35 who want a soft, polished, professional look that doesn’t read “fake.”

Black vs. brown lashes: what’s the difference?

Black lash extensions create more contrast and intensity, so they look bolder, more “mascara-like,” and photograph beautifully—great if you like a defined lash line or wear more makeup. Brown lash extensions create a softer, more natural finish—think “bright eyes” without obvious lashes. They’re also fantastic for clients who feel black looks too harsh, especially in daylight or at work. Many artists also mix brown + black to customize: brown in the inner corners for softness, black through the center/outer corner for a little extra pop (and still very natural-looking).

What is the safest way to remove lash extensions at home?

Safest overall: professional removal by a lash artist. Pro removers dissolve adhesive quickly, but they’re designed to be used safely by trained hands around the eye. If you must remove them at home, the most widely recommended “safer” approach is patience + oil + gentle cleansing, and optionally steam to help loosen the bond gradually.

Microblading & Permanent Eyebrows

Does microblading hurt?

Most clients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. A topical anesthetic is used to minimize discomfort. As a Registered Nurse, stronger and more effective numbing options can be used safely, making the process calm and low-stress for most clients.

What is microblading and how is it different from eyebrow tattooing?

Microblading is a form of permanent makeup that creates fine, hair-like strokes to mimic natural eyebrow hairs. Unlike traditional eyebrow tattoos, microblading uses softer pigments and techniques designed to fade naturally over time rather than turning blue, gray, or harsh.

What's the healing process after getting permanent eyebrows?

Healing is usually very easy with minimal downtime. Mild redness or swelling may occur for a short time. Around day 4, light flaking occurs as surface pigment sheds. Full healing takes about 10–14 days, with final color visible after exfoliation completes.

Do microbladed eyebrows look natural?

When done properly, microblading looks very natural. The goal is subtle enhancement — brows that frame your face without looking drawn-on or overdone. Hair-stroke placement, color choice, and facial mapping all play a role in achieving realistic results.

Will my eyebrows look too dark at first?

Yes — this is normal and expected. Brows will appear darker and more defined for the first 3–4 days. As the skin heals and exfoliates, the color softens and settles into a more natural tone.

Will I need a touch-up?

Yes. A touch-up appointment around 4 weeks after the procedure is an important part of the process. This visit allows any lighter areas to be filled in and ensures symmetry and longevity. After that, touch-ups are usually needed every 1–2 years.

Can I choose my eyebrow shape and color?

Absolutely. Brows are drawn and measured before any pigment is applied, so you can preview the shape and request adjustments. Color selection is collaborative as well, with guidance to ensure the shade complements your skin tone and hair color.

What if I don’t like them?

The design process happens before anything permanent is done, so clients see and approve the shape first. Pigment is intentionally chosen conservatively. A professional rule followed here: it’s always better to start lighter, since color can be built up but not easily removed.

Is microblading safe?

When performed by a trained professional using sterile tools, medical-grade pigments, and proper sanitation, microblading is very safe. A medical background adds an extra layer of safety and attention to skin health and hygiene.

Who should NOT get microblading?

Some medical conditions, medications, or skin types may not be ideal candidates. A consultation helps determine suitability. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, certain autoimmune disorders, pregnancy, or specific skin conditions may require postponement or medical clearance.

Can microblading fix uneven or sparse eyebrows?

Yes — this is one of the biggest benefits. Microblading can improve symmetry, add fullness, correct over-plucked brows, and restore shape lost due to aging or hormonal changes.

Will my brows fade or change color?

Pigments are designed to fade gradually. With proper technique and color selection, brows fade softly rather than turning unnatural colors. Sun protection and proper aftercare help maintain true color longer.

Can I still wear makeup with permanent eyebrows?

Yes. Many clients find they wear less makeup overall, but you can still apply brow products if desired. Permanent eyebrows simply give you a polished base.

Is microblading worth it?

For many women, especially those over 35, the biggest benefit is freedom — no daily brow makeup, no smudging, no frustration, and consistent results every day.

How long do permanent eyebrows last?

Permanent eyebrows typically last 1–3 years, depending on skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, and pigment color. Lighter shades fade faster than darker ones. Most clients choose a maintenance touch-up every 12–24 months to keep brows looking fresh.

Permanent Eyeliner

What are the benefits of permanent eyeliner?

Permanent eyeliner saves time and eliminates the daily need to apply eyeliner. You wake up with defined eyes every day, without worrying about uneven lines, smudging, or touch-ups.

Is permanent eyeliner safe?

Yes, when performed by a trained professional using sterile equipment and high-quality pigments, it's very safe.

How long does permanent eyeliner last?

Permanent eyeliner typically lasts 2-5 years, depending on your skin type,lifestyle and color choice.

Does permanent eyeliner look natural?

Absolutely. Permanent eyeliner can be applied very subtly, including lash-line enhancement, which creates the appearance of fuller lashes without looking like obvious makeup. The thickness and style are customized to your comfort level and preferences.

Is permanent eyeliner worth it?

For many women, the convenience alone makes it worthwhile. Permanent eyeliner provides consistent, long-lasting definition with minimal maintenance, simplifying daily routines while keeping you looking put together.

What is the difference between soft (natural) and dramatic permanent eyeliner?

Soft permanent eyeliner is designed to subtly enhance the eyes, often focusing on lash-line definition that makes lashes appear fuller without looking like obvious makeup. Dramatic eyeliner uses thicker lines, darker pigment, or a more defined shape for clients who want a bolder, more noticeable look. Most women — especially those over 35 — prefer a soft, natural approach that enhances their features without overpowering them. The style is always customized based on your comfort level, lifestyle, and how you like to wear makeup.

Which is better: upper eyeliner or lower eyeliner?

Upper eyeliner is by far the most popular choice. It defines the eyes, enhances lash density, and gives a lifted, more awake appearance. Lower eyeliner can be added in select cases, but it’s typically done very softly to avoid closing in the eyes or creating a harsh look. Many clients choose upper lash-line enhancement only, which provides beautiful definition while remaining subtle and timeless. During your appointment, we’ll discuss what will best flatter your eye shape and overall look.

What is lash-line enhancement and how is it different from regular eyeliner?

Lash-line enhancement is a very fine application of pigment placed directly within the lash line rather than above it. This creates the illusion of thicker, darker lashes without a visible eyeliner line. It’s ideal for clients who want a natural, no-makeup look while still enjoying the benefits of permanent eyeliner.

Does permanent eyeliner hurt?

Most clients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. A topical anesthetic is used to minimize discomfort, and as a Registered Nurse, more effective numbing options can be used safely to ensure the process is as calm and stress-free as possible. Sensations vary from person to person, but most describe the feeling as mild pressure or vibration rather than pain.

How long does the permanent eyeliner procedure take?

The appointment typically lasts 1 to 1.5 hours, with time spent discussing style preferences, mapping, numbing, and carefully applying the pigment. The actual application portion is relatively brief, but precision and comfort are always prioritized.

Can I start subtle and go darker later if I want?

Yes — and this is strongly recommended. It’s always better to begin with a soft, conservative application, especially for first-time clients. Pigment can be added or intensified at a follow-up appointment, but removing eyeliner is far more difficult than building it gradually.

What's the recovery time?

Initial healing takes 7-14 days, with complete healing in 4-6 weeks. Mild swelling may occur for 24-48 hours.
