How frequently should I get lash fills?
Lashes should be filled about every 3-4 weeks in order to keep them full. The actual amount of time you can go in between fills will depend on the shedding cycle of your natural lashes and how well you retain them based on your daily routine. You MUST have at least 40% of your extensions remaining in order to qualify for a fill.
What should I clean my lash extensions with?
Typically, any water-based facial cleanser will be safe to use with your lash extensions. Make sure to wash them daily, however, remember to be very gentle while washing. PLee Beauty, LLC Lash Cleanser will be available in the near future.
Is there any way to make my lash extensions last longer than the normal timeframe?
Unfortunately, no. Lash extensions are attached to your natural lashes with adhesive. Because natural lashes shed, the lash extension that is attached to your natural lash will shed with it as well. On average, we can shed 2-3 lashes, per eye, per day. Refer to the image below for more information.
Can I wear makeup while I have my lash extensions?
ABSOLUTELY! However, mascara is NOT recommended. Waterproof eye makeup is also not recommended as it is more difficult to remove.
I have a skin care routine. Do I need to change those products while I have my lash extensions?
As long as your moisturizer, cleanser, etc, are water-based products, they will be safe to use while you have your lash extensions. Refrain from using any oil-based products, as the oils will break down the adhesive that is holding the lash extensions to your natural lashes, causing premature shedding.
What should I use to remove my eye makeup?
Micellar water or any other water-based makeup remover is safe to use around the eyes when you have lash extensions.
It's my birthday this month and you are also running a monthly special, will I receive my birthday discount on top of the monthly special?
