PRE-CARE INSTRUCTIONS
You should thoroughly clean your lashes with a mild cleanser as well as an eye makeup remover. Lashes should be clear of any makeup residue so that time is not taken away from your appointment.

AFTER CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Regular glue instructions-highly recommend waiting 48hrs before exposing lashes to water. Do not swim,shower, use hot tubs or steam rooms during the first 48hrs.Doing so can cause glue not to cure properly and cause lashes to stick together. Also highly recommended that water based eye makeup remover only be used with this glue. This will help you enjoy your lashes even longer.

Upgrade glue Instructions-using the upgrade glue allows you to get your lashes wet after a complete 24hrs. Oil based eye makeup can be used with this glue. Best for the eyeconic woman who is often active or loves to wear mascara with their extensions. Water based eye makeup remover is still recommended to be used to clean lashes of debris

GENERAL TIPS
Do not use Waterproof mascara, we recommend a water based mascara

An eyelash curler cannot be used with extensions, only a heated curler

Do not pick, pull or rub your lashes as these actions will cause damage to your natural lashes and may possibly be permanent.

If you experience any itching or irritation, contact your technician immediately as you may need to have them removed and a new set applied with sensitive glue.

Even if you do not wear makeup while you have extensions, it is necessary to clean them daily with a water based eye makeup remover. Doing so cleans any debris that can build up on your natural lashes. Not including this step in your aftercare can cause natural lashes to be weakend and may cause early shedding or damage to your growth. May even cause eye mites.

You would choose the “outside fill”  option for classic lash extensions with either faux mink, silk, or Siberian mink,  when booking. If you are wanting volume just select the type of volume you want on the service menu. This is required when you are visiting The Eyeconic Lash for the first time and have had extensions applied from another lash boutique that you would like to add to.

It’s as easy as 1,2,3!  First, pick your style, so we know the look you are going for.  Second, choose your lash material depending on the quality of lashes you are wanting.  Third, choose if you want any add-ons to either add that special touch or if you need special glue for a vacation or beach trip!

The Eyeconic Lash is against cruelty to animals for any reason and we have gone to great lengths to source the finest quality of Authentic Siberian Mink Eyelash Extensions which come from safe and reputable suppliers. The minks animals and are gently brushed and their fur is then collected, treated and pre-curled in order to be suitable for eyelash extensions.

Eyelash extensions done professionally do not damage the natural lash. We place one extension per natural lash, so as the natural lash sheds (every four weeks) the extension simply falls off with natural lash shedding process. If lashes are applied and not separated or attached to more than one natural lash, or too heavy for your natural lash then it is possible to have damage occur.

We recommend every two weeks especially after your first full set so that we may keep them looking fabulous! If you can only come every three weeks, the active glue may be the best choice for you since its a stronger glue, the retention tends to last longer.

It all depends on your natural lash cycle.  People shed a little differently and depending on how well you take care of your lashes depends on how long they last, but it is possible to last up to four to six weeks if you decided not to come in for fills after your first full set.

It is not necessary to take breaks between sets and fills. What we call lash rehab is a process in which we recommend a light weight lash along with a growth and strengthening serum..Lash rehab can take up to four to six weeks or longer depending on the initial state of damage.

Do not pull them off! This will damage your natural lashes. We have a serum that will break down the glue bond making them slide off with no damage.

If you don’t know, then we can do a personal consultation at the time of your appointment.

The cost of the initial full set depends on the type of material we use for the lash extension.  The price of the full set can range from $98 – $400.  After the full set, fills every two weeks are less expensive.

For your first full set of eyelash extensions will take approximately an hour and a half to two hours, depending on how full you would like them and how many natural lashes you have.  After your initial full set and when getting your eyelash extension fill, it takes forty five minutes to an hour.  Keeping up with appointments every two weeks guarantees they will stay looking full and beautiful!

When getting eyelash extensions we suggest you take out your contacts to prevent fumes from getting behind your contact, but many people don’t have a problem with leaving them in.

Eyelash extensions are pain free!  In fact, most clients fall asleep during their appointment time.  If any itching or slight burning from the glue fumes occur we suggest you tell the technician as there are several instant remedies.

There is absolutely no cutting.  As technicians, we will do everything to maintain the current strength and health of your natural lashes during application.

We provide whatever experience you want.  Some clients prefer to take a nap and we suggest you bring your earbuds or we provide spa music.  You shouldn’t feel anything as this service is pain free.  Other clients prefer to talk and have conversation which is fine as well.  We suggest you let us know at the beginning of the appointment what you prefer.

Yes!  If you have had sensitivities in the past or might have reservations about our glue, you can simply come in for a patch test.  After 24 hours and no reaction, you are free to get your eyelash extensions without hesitation.  We have several high quality glues to choose from if an irritation does occur.

You can call us and we can remove the eyelash extensions and try a patch test of a different glue.  Take an antihistamine to reduce irritation.  We also carry a new sensitive glue that was tested at UCLA.  The ingredients in this sensitive glue do not have the chemical that causes most allergic reactions.

A fill – 24 to 48 hours.

You must arrive with no makeup on or around the eyes. No mascara residue or concealer. The reason we ask this is because this can affect the way the lash extension adheres to your natural lash, causing the glue bond to become weak. You will lose the extensions very quickly if you are not able to follow this rule.

Cataracts, Glaucoma, Diabetes, Retinopathy are all conditions that require you provide a physician’s authorization in writing that will allow you to receive the service.

It is best to wait 4 weeks after surgery to apply lash extensions.

Yes, in 2 to 4wks.  Pigment retention depends on skin type, age, aftercare, sun exposure, use of certain skin products, pigments used, immune system, medications and other factors. Touch ups are recommended once a year to prevent natural fading.

There can be pain even after topical anesthetic has been used. Anesthetics work better, or differently on some people than others.

The application of a hand made “fan” of thinner diameter lashes using 2 to 3 or more lashes that are hand-crafted to customize the perfect weight for every single natural lash.

Russian volume lashes can look dramatic or natural however they differ from classic lashes for the simple fact that a thinner lash is grouped into a fan shape which allows  2,3,or 4 lashes equalling the same weight as one classic lash.  This allows a full lush look because your are doubling up on lashes that are applied during your full set.  We will isolate one natural lash just like classic lashes but apply the lash fan on that individual lash.

This varies depending on what dimension you desire for example 3D, 4D, 5D or 6D.  Time can range from 2 to 4 hrs for a full set and hour and half to 2 hours for a fill.

We only use the highest quality of silk lashes.

Most clients can go 3 wks but that depends on how well you take care of your lashes, how you clean them and what makeup you where on a daily basis.  You should have 50% of you lash extensions for a 2 week fill and 35% on a 3 week fill. However, to make it easier we have allowed you the option of booking 1,2,3 or 4 week fills for all lash fills.  If you have less than 30% of you lashes you will be asked to book another full set appointment.
