Before booking

Eyelash extensions are individually applied synthetic or natural hair fibers that are surgically glued to the base of each lash. Each false lash is applied one by one to your own lashes (a painstaking, time-consuming process). If you decide to give it a try, you will need to follow these guidelines to ensure that your experience is as smooth as possible.

Research the expert

It's best if your lash technician is professionally certified and trained in established application methods. Don't be shy about asking for credentials; the best ones will be proud to show you their work.

 

Choose your look

Just like you choose your hair style by looking at pictures. Most lash technicians will guide you through this process. There is a fine line between gorgeous, fluttering lashes and spidery, obvious false lashes.

Know the potential risks

Although they are rare. The most common complaints about lash extensions are allergic reactions to the glue, eye infections from exposure to unsanitary tools, or infected follicles from two lashes stuck together, and/or clogged follicles from the glue itself.

 

 

Pros and Cons

As with any cosmetic treatment, there are pros and cons to consider before deciding if it's right for you.

Pros.

They look great. More dramatic than mascara, but more natural than a single (or individual) false lash, and when done right, the lash extensions are simply stunning.
They are immediately gratifying. Lash extensions provide the gorgeous lashes you want in one appointment, and you don't have to worry about applying and removing mascara every day, or worrying about flaking, running or smudging mascara.
They can save you time. This time-consuming step can be abandoned when you apply your makeup in the morning.
They can last for months or even longer.
Typically, lash extensions stay in good condition for 2 to 3 weeks, however, with regular fillers, your overall lash extensions will last indefinitely.

Cons

They're expensive. Expect to spend $150 to $500 (yes, that much) for your first full set of lashes. From there, refills (usually needed every 2-3 weeks) cost $50-$100 per visit.
They are high maintenance. Your lashes will need extra attention to look good between fillings because your goal should be to retain these expensive additions.
Care must be taken when cleaning the eye area as any movement of the lashes can increase their shedding or twisting.
Do not allow water from the shower to fall directly on your face, as the pressure can loosen lash extensions and cause them to fall out faster.
Do not wipe your face with a towel or press your face hard into a pillow while sleeping.
The more dramatic your lashes are, i.e. the thicker they are, the more likely it is to twist and fall out sooner than you would like.

Conclusion

Lash extensions may be worth their weight in gold, but they are definitely not for everyone. It really depends on your budget, time allocation and whether you follow the guidelines, as these are not easy to maintain. Following QCLASHES will help increase your chances of getting great results.
