So, you’re ready to try lash extensions? We get it—your natural lashes are about to get an upgrade, and you want to know what to expect at your appointment. Whether you’re new to eyelash extensions or just looking for some insider tips, we’ve got you covered! In this blog, we’ll explore what to expect during your first lash extension appointment.
1. Arrive Ready to Relax
When you arrive at Lash Crush, we’ll have you settle into a comfortable chair where you can fully relax. Our studio is designed to provide a calm and tranquil environment so you can enjoy some much-needed “me time” while we take care of the rest.
2. Consultation: Let’s Discuss Your Lash Goals
Before we begin, we’ll chat with you about the kind of look you’re hoping for. Do you want a natural, everyday style, or are you aiming for a fuller, more dramatic look? We’ll review the length, thickness, and curl type that will complement your natural lashes and enhance your facial features. This is your opportunity to let us know exactly what you envision so you’re completely satisfied with the results.
3. Prep Time: Clean Lashes, No Makeup
We’ll start by cleaning your natural lashes to ensure the best possible results. This step removes any makeup, oils, or residue, ensuring the adhesive bonds correctly and that your extensions last longer. Clean lashes make all the difference in achieving a flawless result.
4. Application Process: Laying Back and Relaxing
Once everything is prepped, it’s time for the application. You’ll lie back with your eyes closed, and our skilled lash artist will carefully apply individual lash extensions to your natural lashes. Depending on your chosen look, this can take between 1 and 2 hours. While relaxing, consider this time a mini spa session—sit back, unwind, and enjoy the experience.
5. Sensation: A Gentle, Precise Process
During the application, you might feel a slight tickling sensation near your eyes, but it’s an entirely normal part of the process. Rest assured, our lash artists work with the utmost precision and care to ensure a comfortable experience. If at any point you need a break, just let us know—we want you to feel relaxed the whole time.
6. Admire Your Lashes: The Big Reveal
After the application, we’ll show you your new lashes in the mirror, and you’ll be able to see the transformation! Your eyes will look more awake, defined, and perfectly enhanced with your new lash extensions. If any adjustments are needed, we’ll take care of that right away to ensure you’re thrilled with your look.
7. Lash Aftercare: Keep Them Looking Gorgeous
We’ll review some essential aftercare tips to ensure your lash extensions stay in top shape. You’ll want to avoid getting your lashes wet for the first 24 hours, and it’s best to skip any oil-based products, as they can affect the adhesive. With proper care, your lashes will look beautiful for weeks!
8. Maintain Your Lashes: Touch-Ups and Fills
We recommend scheduling a fill every 2-3 weeks to keep your lashes looking full, as your natural lashes will shed over time. Our fills are quick and easy, ensuring your lashes stay flawless without mascara.
