There are a few  things you should do in preparation for your appointment —as well as afterward:

Before

• Shower prior to your appointment.

• Wear comfortable clothing. You will lie down for 60 to 90 minutes with dimmed lights and soft music as your backdrop during your eyelash application; comfortable clothes will allow you to make the most of this time to relax and be pampered.
• Remove your contacts. Your eyes will be closed during the application of your eyelash extensions. To avoid any discomfort, it is always suggested that contacts be removed, allowing eyes to be comfortable in a natural and rested state.

After:

• Eliminate any unnecessary contact with water or steam within the first 48 hours. This will ensure that the bond between the semi-permanent lashes and your natural lashes has enough time to set properly.

When applied correctly by an experienced and knowledgeable technician, this is not a concern. Our lash artists will know what the appropriate length and weight are to apply to ensure that your natural lashes remain healthy.

Our lash artists are well-trained and experienced in the proper technique and have knowledge of what is best for your lash health, all while achieving the look you’re looking for.

You can most definitely wear make-up with your eyelash extensions. When selecting makeup products, it is always best to go with oil-free ones. However, remember to remove them with oil-free makeup remover and cleanse them using our Lash Me NYC foam cleanser.

When you have eyelash extensions applied by a trained technician in a salon or spa setting, the process typically takes at least 2 hours (usually 2-3, if not more) and involves a few steps:

1. Consultation with the lash technician
2. Preparation of natural lashes for the bonding process
3. Selection of eyelash extensions
4. Application of chosen lash extensions. Timing may vary depending on the lash style, as some techniques require more detailed work.
5. Bonding and drying of application

There are several types of eyelash extensions available, each offering a unique look:

• Classic Lashes: Applied in a 1:1 ratio with one extension per natural lash, Classic lashes provide a subtle, natural boost, perfect for those seeking a refined enhancement.
• Hybrid Lashes: A blend of Classic and Volume lashes, Hybrid lashes create a fuller look, ideal for those with thinner natural lashes or anyone wanting a slightly bolder effect.
• Volume Lashes: Light and fluffy, Volume lashes deliver a fuller, more dramatic effect, ideal for those with sparse lashes, bald spots, or who simply want a lusher look.

Each style includes its own variations, and you can explore the full range of options on our Lash Services page.

During refills, we will remove some old lash extensions that are grown out and brittle and ready to come off. Your eyelash extensions weaken over time due to oil or other impurities.
After about three weeks, the bond between the natural lash and extension starts to become unstable and will be ready to come off. Therefore, 2- and 3-week refills are highly recommended to maintain and ensure the retention and life of your lash extensions.

It’s advised to clean your extensions once or twice a day, especially if you use makeup products because debris can build up around the lashes just like our skin. To clean them, simply apply a small amount of lash shampoo and with a cleaning brush and carefully cleanse the area. Then gently rinse your lashes and pat them dry with a towel and brush them thoroughly.

Bonus Tip: Sometimes, in the mornings, the lashes are all tangled and messy. Try washing your lashes with water in the morning and gently brushing the top side of the extensions with a finger placed beneath the lashes to help sort it out.
