Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent synthetic fibers used to create more volume while lengthening and extending your natural eyelash. There are two different types: classics - one single extension to one natural eyelash + volumes - customized handmade fans are made from multiple smaller lash extension fibers and are wrapped on each individual natural eyelash
Generally speaking, eyelash extensions are a safe and non-invasive cosmetic procedure.
Necessary precautions need to be taken by your lash technician during the appointment✨. It is always recommended to 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐧 before getting lashes while pregnant. 👩🏻
* For most women, sensitivity to smell is higher during pregnancy. They become more conscious of chemicals and other things. It is important that the lash studio where you are getting your treatment is well ventilated. 🫧
* An eyelash appointment can take up to three hours where the client typically lays flat on their back. Laying flat on their back is not a recommended position for pregnant women especially if they’ve reached over 20 weeks. It is recommended for pregnant clients to lie on their side with their heads straight during the procedure.🤍
* The client can also put a pillow behind their spine, under their leg, or between the legs to provide comfort and support; this can help relax and reduce stress.😌
* Small breaks should be incorporated within the appointment to help the appointment go smoothly. You can even opt to go through with the application of one eye at a time. And don’t forget to take your time. 💤
It’s required that your eye area be clean and completely free of makeup. Please attempt to not wear (near the eye area) moisturizer, foundation, under eye concealer, mascara, etc. You will be required to remove any makeup/moisturizer around your eye area before the start of your appointment. Come prepared with a clean face so your artist has the most time possible to spend on your lashes. It is required to shower before your appointment but if you’re coming from work, try not to use an oil-based makeup remover as it leaves a residue. Washing your makeup off with a cleanser and water are best.
Unfortunately at Cube Beauty, we do not offer foreign fills. This is due to many reasons such as differences in products, techniques, and tracking your retention. Removal and a new set is what I suggest to new clients or you can wait it out until they are all gone and we can give you a full set! Totally up to you!
Some people aren't aware, but we lose anywhere from 1 to 5 natural lashes per day — just like hairs on our heads, they replace themselves as new ones grow!
You will notice that you lose more natural lashes than normal twice a year (usually at the end of Summer and the beginning of Spring) – this is called seasonal shedding, and you will normally find that your lashes seem to be falling out more quickly than normal –and that a lot of new baby lashes have come through at your next appointment.
Don't be alarmed; it happens to everyone once or twice a year, and if you're concerned, contact or speak with your lash artist, who can examine the health of your lashes at any time!
With proper application and aftercare your natural eyelashes should not be damaged. But if you get lash extensions often (you keep up with your refills) and you are hitting 6 months to a year of being consistent, a two week break can be beneficial but is not completely necessary!
If their lash break exceeds two weeks, some clients opt for lash lifts to still have an additional ‘umph’ to their lashline without the worry of extensions.
However if you decide to continue getting lash extensions without taking a break we do recommend keeping up with cleaning your lashes daily and even using a eyelash safe serum to maintain and strengthen the natural lashes.
The best tip is to stop touching them, the oils in your fingers can break down the adhesive, not to mention that you are probably pulling some off on your own. The less you mess with them the better off you’ll be.
Next, follow the proper aftercare instructions. Cleaning, paying attention to sleep positions, washing them and etc.
Even consider going a length shorter or thinner diameter to increase retention!
And lastly, keep up with your fills on the regular
No! Not at all + if they are applied properly they shouldn’t hurt! Eyelash extensions are applied directly to the eyelash itself, so there is zero contact with the skin.
The lash appointment may feel a little weird the first time, but once you get used to the process you should be so comfortable that you even want to nap!
At Cube Beauty we use high-quality, low-fume glue, which (unlike cheaper products) does not burn or sting. ⚡️
People with extremely sensitive eyes or sinus problems may get some watering and slight stinging at the end, but this normally subsides within seconds.
Please alert us if you are experiencing any stinging during the treatment – some individuals with very dry eyes/eyes that don’t close properly may do, and we will adjust our procedure to keep you comfortable.
Natural eyelashes grow out in a corkscrew motion. Therefore as your natural lashes grow they begin to twist and the attached lash follows. 💫
Refills maintain the dense look of your lash set and to prevent damages from heavy and droopy outgrown lashes✨. Depending on your aftercare and each natural lash cycle, you may need a refill after 2 weeks, or you may need one after 3 weeks.⭐️
During refills, we will remove any outgrown lash extensions that have moved halfway up your natural lash as its grown.🍃 Then we place a new extension/fan on any of the lashes currently without an extension.🌟☁️
If you are leaving your refill longer than 3.5 weeks you are going to be coming to your refill appointment with a lot of natural lashes grown out or without an extension. 🪴 The only option at that point is to do a full set to lash all natural lashes and maintain a full look.🌷
