What Are Classic Lash Extensions?

• This is a ratio of one isolated natural lash to one lash extension vs volume is a fan of lash artificial lashes on one eyelash. Hybrid is a mixture of both.

• These synthetic lashes are made of a plastic that mimics the look and shine of real hair.

• Clear or black glue lash extension glue is what holds it all together, this is semipermanent glue.

• The initial appointment takes 2-2.5hrs. Fills can take 1-1.5 hrs.

Now that you're in on the secret, lets talk about the benefits and how to get the most out of your appointments with pre- and post care.

The Benefits That'll Make You Wonder Why You Waited

• Wake up lash ready and sleep for another 15 minutes

• Waterproof and sweatproof

• Confidence boost in photos and daily life

• Perfect for busy lifestyles, vacations, special events

• Classic Lash Extensions are the go-to for a more natural look compared to volume.

Pre-care is the easy part, just show up to your appointment without any makeup on. Washing your face and lashes beforehand can be the most beneficial for lash retention. Another key to good retention is to not use any oil based products around the eye area so we can set your lashes set up for success.

Caring for Your Classic Lashes

• Daily cleansing can help keep them clean and fluffy. Lash cleanser or micellar water are great options.

• Do not use oil-based products. Switch to water-based eyeliner! Oil breaks down the glue.

• Avoid sleeping on one side and rubbing your eyes- This can lead to lash loss which can make one eye stand out more than the other.

• Schedule fills every 2-3 weeks. The longer you wait, the longer the fill time takes.

Now that you got the deets, there may be a few more questions before taking the plunge.

• Can I wear makeup? Yes, but you won't need mascara. Water-based is recommended.

• Can I swim/work out? Yes!

• What if I don't like them? They can be professionally removed or the look can be adjusted when it comes to your next fill.
