What are NaturaLash Eyelash Extensions?
NaturaLash Eyelash Extensions are single synthetic lashes that are
attached to each of your individual eyelashes, one at a time, with
a minute amount of special long-lasting NaturaLash Black or Clear
Adhesive. They are practically undetectable to you or anyone else.
They will add length, thickness, and fullness that can't be achieved
with traditional makeup.
How long do they last?
Eyelash extensions are on ongoing service. They must be "Refilled"
every 2 to 5 weeks depending on many factors including your lifestyle,
skin type, etc. At the Refill service, the technician will remove
(not trim) any lashes that have grown out or become loose with a
special Adhesive Remover. New extensions will also be applied until
the eyelashes are full and complete. They do require some maintenance
and aftercare instructions must be followed for best results. Ask
your Certified NaturaLash Technician for more information on aftercare
procedures and products that will help extend the longevity of your
lush new lashes.
How long does it take to apply a full set?
A nice full application of NaturaLash Eyelash Extensions will take
any where from 1 ½ to 3 or more hours depending on the type
of lashes, size, thickness etc. the technician is working with.
This is a very tedious, time consuming procedure if done correctly,
but the results are definitely worth it!
How many extensions are applied on each eye?
NaturaLash Certified Technicians are taught to apply at least 30
to 60 or more extensions per eye. The result is long, beautiful,
and natural looking, lush eyelashes. Remember that you are limited
to the number of natural eyelashes available that eyelash extensions
can attach to. Even sparse eyelashes will be greatly enhanced with
NaturaLash Eyelash Extensions!
Does it hurt?
No. If correctly applied, the products do not contact your skin
and you won't even notice that you are wearing them. The application
procedure is painless; they are not "woven" in and there
are no punctures in the skin.
How much do they cost?
The fees for professional eyelash extensions vary according to your
location and technician. In general, prices range from $300 to $600
with an average fee of $300-$350 for the initial set.
Refill fees will be determined by each technician. Some will charge
per extension or by time. It is very important to know that all
client's have different needs. Lifestyle, weather (humidity, extreme
cold and heat), and swimming play a part in the longevity of your
lashes. At the first refill, usually 2 weeks after the initial set,
your technician will be able to determine a schedule of appointments
to keep your new lashes looking great.
How do I know if the person offering eyelash extensions is qualified?
Ask for a certificate or proof of training. (Certified NaturaLash
Technicians undergo extensive training with ongoing support by our
experienced instructors.) Ask for a portfolio of close up before
and after photos; the extensions should be undetectable. Check for
undesirable clumps of adhesive which means poor technique. Extensions
should be applied to a single natural eyelash - one on one. Ask
how long the initial application takes and how many extensions are
applied. A full set should be at least 30-60 extensions per eye,
(depending on the number of natural eyelashes available) and will
require around 1 1/2 to 3 hours (or more) to apply a nice full set.
Be sure the technician is appropriately licensed in the beauty or
healthcare industry and carries liability insurance.
How can I make them last longer?
Your Certified NaturaLash Technician will review aftercare instructions
with you and suggest products that will help you maintain your new
eyelashes. Constantly rubbing your eyes or cleaning them vigorously
will certainly decrease their longevity. Do not use any oil containing
cleansers or waterproof mascara (We do not recommend using mascara
but do have special mascara which is available through your NaturaLash
Technician).
Will they make my own eyelashes fall out?
Not if the eyelash extensions are applied correctly, but your natural
lashes do shed every 30-120 days (according to different sources).
Incorrect application can increase shedding and loss. Our certified
technicians learn correct application in workshops where they are
required to understand and show proficiency in applying and removing
the extensions. Our clients have worn NaturaLash Eyelash Extensions
for years with no need for a "break". Proper application
is the key to prevent damage.
Can I swim?
Most people will be able to swim and enjoy water activities. Swimming
can shorten the life of the extensions for some people. Everyone
is different. Showering with hot water can also affect the extensions.
The adhesives are waterproof but the hair shafts absorb water which
can loosen the adhesive bond. Unfortunately, there is not a correct
answer for everyone. As with all skin, hair, makeup or body products,
everyone can react differently to the same product.
My eyelashes are sparse, will they look thicker?
Your existing eyelashes will appear thicker but you are limited
to the number of eyelashes that you have. A Certified NaturaLash
Technician who has developed or learned advanced techniques, may
be able to help you achieve a fuller look.
I do not have any eyelashes. Can I get eyelash extensions?
No. The extensions must have hairs to adhere to but your technician
may be able to help you with strip eyelashes and makeup techniques.
Can I still wear mascara?
One of the biggest benefits of wearing eyelash extensions is that
you'll no longer need mascara! Many people still like to apply mascara
and we have a special mascara to use with extensions. Just ask your
Naturalash Technician. (FYI - it is also a great mascara for the
lower eyelashes because it lasts and does not "smudge"
easily, yet washes off with water or our Special Eye Makeup Remover)
What lengths are available?
Naturalash Eyelash Extensions are available in 10 sizes from 6 mm
to 15 mm long. This give you the ability to choose a natural to
very dramatic look. We offer 2 different eyelash widths, 1.0 mm
to 1.5mm (and will soon have 2.0 mm).
Do you offer different colors?
Yes. We carry Black, Dark Brown, Light Brown, Blonde, and fun colors
like Green, Blue, Purple, and Red.
