Are Allergic reactions common?
Attention ladies especially if this is your first time getting eyelash extensions, or the first time in a long while, your eyes may feel somewhat sensitive or burning. However Allergic reactions is not very common, but it happens to some people who didn’t realize they are allergic to our professional adhesive glue. Please check with your doctor before you can make an appointment with me.
Signs of an allergy reaction are usually not during the service but afterwards. You are not supposed to flush water immediately into your eyes because the fume/chemical will get into your eyes and will cause irritation. With 24 hours no wetting or heating your eyes. If it does not improve or gets worse, please contact your health care provider or call 911 if it is necessary.
What are the differences between Classic, Hybrid, and Volume Lashes?
Classic is one individual extension lash onto one natural lash, that makes you look very pretty natural like you had a mascara on.
Hybrid is a combination of 2 different lash styles (one individual and one set of 3-5 fans onto one natural lash, which is very popular and makes you look more beautiful and fun.
Volume set is with 3 fans or more onto one natural lash that makes you look more fuller and thicker, like drop dead gorgeous!
Can I wear Contact lenses with lash extensions?
Oh course, once the lashes have been applied, you can wear contact lenses again. However, please wait 24 hours until then, but if you notice any irritation when wearing the contact lenses, we recommend getting them professionally removed as it might not be the best option for you.
