Eyelash Extensions
What are eyelash enhancements?
Eyelash enhancements (or extensions) are individual false eyelashes that are applied to the natural eyelashes.
They literally extend existing eyelashes in both length and thickness to give a fantastic new look.
They will enhance the appearance beyond expectations because eyes will look bigger, wider and brighter.
With our ilash designer eyelash extensions the options are never ending and the results are amazing because we can create every type of look from the very natural to the very glamorous from our range of lash lengths and colours.
They are manufactured from man-made polyester fibre, shaped to mimic the natural eyelash and are adhered to the natural eyelash using a specialised adhesive.
What happens during the treatment?
You will be invited to a private treatment room & have a brief consultation with your therapist, where you will decide on the look that’s right for you and your lifestyle.
Kick your shoes off and relax on the couch, whilst your therapist carefully places cooling collagen eye pads under your eyes.
You can then close your eyes & listen to some music as individual, synthetic lashes are carefully applied one by one directly onto your own natural lashes to create a thicker and longer look.
There is no direct contact to the skin and so should not cause any reaction or irritation. (Although extremely sensitive skins may need a patch test. Please speak to a member of our team when booking if you think this applies to you)
The final amount of lashes applied depends upon the size and shape of your eyes along with what type of look is to be achieved (natural or glamorous) but as the lashes are applied to your own natural lash please be aware that there are some limitations to the amount we can apply.
Your experienced therapist will shape the entire lash line using different size lashes to create your own individual look.
How long does the treatment take?
Your first set of individual lashes will take upto 1hour 30 minutes to apply
2- 3 week Infills will take approx. 30 minutes
3- 4 week Infills will take approx 45 minutes
How long will they last?
Individual lashes can last up to 3 months, however we recommend Infills every 2-4 weeks.
Your own lashes shed naturally- on average losing 4-10 lashes from each eye over a two week period.
New ones then continue to grow in a replenishing cycle.
The lash extensions therefore will last as long as the cycle of your natural lash, and of course the amount of care that you take with your lashes will also affect their longevity.
Party Lashes
For those of you short on time - “Party Lashes” are a much quicker alternative to individual lashes as will only take approx. 30 minutes to apply.
Party Lashes are “clusters” of lashes which are thicker and heavier than individual lashes.
They are fantastic for a special occasion, or weekend away etc as have a much more dramatic look than individual lashes and come in a range of lengths so that you can add as much drama as you dare!
You would expect to lose a few Party lashes after 4-5 days, and in most cases the lashes will start to come out completely after 1 – 2 weeks as they are not designed for longevity.
We would always recommend professional removal in Salon to avoid pulling out your natural lash
After Care
You will be provided with written after care instructions to get the most out of your lashes after your treatment.
The removal of all eye make-up is advised prior to all eye treatments in order to achieve best results.
