Why extensions fall out early

Most early shedding is not the salon — it is aftercare. Oil, sleep position, mascara and rubbing all break the bond.

The first 24 hours

  • No water on the lashes
  • No steam, sauna, gym or hot showers
  • Do not touch or check them constantly

Everyday habits that protect them

  • Cleanse daily with an oil-free lash foam — dirty lashes shed faster
  • Sleep on your back or use a silk pillowcase
  • Skip mascara — it is what extensions replace
  • Avoid oil-based makeup remover anywhere near your eyes
  • Brush gently every morning with the spoolie we give you

When to book infills

Every 2–3 weeks is ideal. Any longer and it is a full new set.

Choosing a style

  • Classic — one extension per lash, natural look
  • Hybrid — mix of classic and volume, everyday glam
  • Volume — fluffy fans, bold and photo-ready

We help you choose based on your natural lashes and how much upkeep you want.

FAQ

Can I swim with lash extensions?

Yes, but rinse and gently pat dry after. Avoid heavy chlorine.

Will they damage my natural lashes?

Not when they are applied to a healthy lash line and you take breaks between sets.

How long is the appointment?

Allow 90 minutes for a classic set, up to 2.5 hours for volume.
