Lashes can last up to 5-6 weeks however they need to be maintained every 2-3 weeks for the health of the natural lashes and the look of the set. After 3 weeks, lashes are over grown and can cause the extension to twist in the opposite direction, can weigh down the natural lash and can cause pre-shedding. To maintain their fullness and ensure a longer lifespan, it's essential to follow proper aftercare guidelines, such as avoiding oil-based products, excessive rubbing or pulling, and using a gentle lash cleanser. Regular touch-up appointments every two to three weeks are recommended to replace any lost lashes and keep your extensions looking fresh, ensuring you enjoy beautiful, fluttery lashes for an extended period.

On average, a full set appointment can take around 2.5 to 3 hours.
Fills can take 1.5-2.5 hours depending on each person, how well the lashes are taken care of and what style is being done. Lashes that are over grown, twisted, or about to come off is removed then the gaps are refilled with new lashes. The main goal is to make every fill look like a fresh new set with maximum coverage. During a fill appointment, the lash artist will remove any outgrown or loose extensions and apply new extensions to fill in the gaps.

Yes, you can wear makeup with your lash extensions, but it's important to follow some guidelines to ensure their longevity and prevent damage. Here are a few tips:
Use oil-free products: Avoid using oil-based or waterproof makeup products, as oil can weaken the adhesive bond of the lash extensions. Opt for oil-free or water-based formulas instead.
Be gentle during makeup application: When applying makeup, be careful not to tug or pull on the lash extensions. Use a soft touch and avoid rubbing your eyes vigorously.
Focus on eye makeup: Since lash extensions already provide a dramatic effect, you may find that you need less mascara or eyeliner. If you choose to wear mascara, use a specifically formulated lash extension-friendly mascara that is water-based and easily removable.
Remove makeup carefully: When removing makeup, use a gentle, oil-free makeup remover and avoid rubbing your eyes. Instead, gently swipe the makeup remover over your lashes to dissolve any product.
Remember, proper care and maintenance are essential to preserving the beauty and longevity of your lash extensions. By following these guidelines, you can enjoy the best of both worlds—gorgeous lash extensions and your favorite makeup looks.

To ensure the longevity and beauty of your lash extensions, it's important to follow proper care guidelines. Here are some tips for caring for your lash extensions:
Be gentle: Avoid rubbing, pulling, or tugging on your lash extensions. Excessive touching or playing with your lashes can cause them to loosen or fall out prematurely.
Keep them dry: For the first 24 to 48 hours after the application, avoid getting your lash extensions wet. Water and steam can interfere with the adhesive bond, causing the extensions to detach. Also, avoid swimming or saunas during this time.
Use oil-free products: Oil-based products can break down the adhesive bond of the lash extensions. Use oil-free cleansers, makeup removers, and cosmetics to avoid compromising the longevity of your lashes.
Schedule regular touch-up appointments: Lash extensions naturally shed with your natural lashes, so it's important to schedule regular touch-up appointments every two to three weeks to replace any lost extensions and maintain a full and beautiful look.
Following these care tips will help extend the lifespan of your lash extensions and keep them looking fabulous. If you have any specific concerns or questions, don't hesitate to reach out to Giana.

Before your lash extension appointment, there are a few steps you can take to ensure a smooth and successful experience. Here's what you can do:
Arrive with clean lashes: It's essential to arrive at your appointment with clean lashes, free from any makeup, oils, or residue. Remove all eye makeup, including mascara and eyeliner, using an oil-free cleanser. This allows the lash artist to have a clean canvas to work with and ensures a better bond between your natural lashes and the extensions.
Avoid caffeine and stimulants: To help you relax during the appointment and prevent unnecessary eye movement, it's a good idea to avoid consuming caffeinated beverages or stimulants beforehand. This can help keep your eyes still and make the process more comfortable for you and the lash artist.
Communicate your preferences: If you have a specific lash style or length in mind, communicate your preferences to your lash artist. They will consider your natural lashes, eye shape, and desired look to create a customized set of lash extensions that suits you best.
Plan your schedule: Lash extension appointments can take some time, so plan accordingly. Be sure to allocate enough time for the appointment to avoid feeling rushed or stressed. Additionally, avoid scheduling any activities immediately after your appointment that may involve excessive sweating or getting your lashes wet, as it's recommended to keep them dry for the first 24 to 48 hours.
By following these simple steps, you can prepare yourself for a comfortable and successful lash extension appointment.
