WHAT ARE EYELASH EXTENSIONS?
Eyelash extensions are individual lashes applied to your natural lashes to enhance thickness, appearance, and length. Clients look more rested and youthful, and feel much more confident. At Skye Lashes we only offer mink (silk) or Siberian mink lashes – never synthetic lashes. Not to be confused with the self-applied false strips often found at drugstores, eyelash extensions are a semi-permanent solution comprised of individual eyelashes that are curved to replicate a natural eyelash. With skill and precision, we glue the semi-permanent extensions one by one onto individual natural lashes without disrupting the natural feel. When you look in the mirror, the eyelash extensions are virtually undetectable and natural in appearance, giving you long and beautiful lashes for weeks to come.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF EYELASH EXTENSIONS?
The advantages of eyelash extensions are practically endless. Clients are always amazed at how their eyelash extensions beautifully frame their eyes without the use of any mascara. Even better, you can just wake up and go! No more running mascara or raccoon eyes. The eyelash extensions are virtually indistinguishable from your natural lashes and feel weightless, whether you go for a natural enhancement or more glamorous look. You will save time in your beauty routine and always feel beautiful. Watch your confidence soar and eye contact become much more likely with the added stylish length, effortless volume, and elegant fullness of your new lashes.

ARE THERE DIFFERENT TYPES OF EYELASH EXTENSIONS?
We cater to the comfort and requests of each client. Our eyelash stylist will consult with you so that we can achieve the look you desire. We can do a natural look, or go for a more sensational enhancement. Our lashes offer 5 degrees of curl, 4 different thicknesses, and 18 different lengths. They are virtually weightless. For that special night out on the town we have “eye color enhancing” lashes, glitter lashes, or Swarovski crystals that can be attached to an individual strand.

DOES THE EYELASH EXTENSIONS PROCEDURE DAMAGE MY EYELASHES?
As a licensed cosmetologist and national Minkys certified lash stylist, I have more than four years of experience in providing clients with eyelash extensions. All lash stylists are licensed and certified. The eyelash extension process is meticulous. We only use a high end Medical grade adhesive and mink or Siberian mink lashes.

Regardless of where you choose to get your eyelash extensions, always do your research. This procedure is new to the United States and is not yet regulated in many states, which makes it easy for anyone to call themselves eyelash extension specialist. Ask for before and after photos of actual clients of their own. Request to see their cosmetologist or esthetician license. Many places frequently offer a wide array of other beauty services, the demands of which never allow them to truly specialize and become an expert in eyelash extensions so do the research before committing! If the technician is not properly trained and qualified, eyelash extensions could possibly damage your lashes. Your results depend on the skill of your technician and the eyelash extension product used.


At Skye Lashes, we are committed to providing the very best in eyelash extensions. I am known to be a perfectionist! If you have had an unfortunate lash experience, we are here to help and can work with you to get your lashes in a healthy state.

HOW LONG DO THE EYELASHES LAST?
A normal lash growth and shed cycle is 30-60 days; it is an entirely individual process. Most people shed natural lashes at a rate of 2-3 lashes per day, per eye, and then grow a new lash to replace the one that fell out. With eyelash extensions, the lashes can stay on up to 60 days with proper care and forever with monthly maintenance. General after care by you will affect how long the lashes last. Following the Skye Lashes care notes will provide the best results. Loss of eyelashes generally results from excessive touching, use of oil based products, and layering on excessive amounts of mascara.

DO THE FALSE EYELASHES AND ADHESIVES THEMSELVES DAMAGE MY NATURAL EYELASHES?
No, not at all! The professional treatment of individual eyelash extensions will not damage your natural lashes. Each extension is bonded individually to each natural lash therefore enabling the natural lash to grow at its own pace without being stuck to the lashes next to each other. Different eyelash enhancement treatments, such as express eyelash extensions, cluster lashes or party lashes, cause natural eyelash damage after continual use because they are bonded to more than one lash at a time. Say NO to express, cluster and party lashes.

The adhesive we use dries very soft, allowing the eyelash extensions to stay flexible and bouncy, just like your own natural lashes. The eyelash extensions will adhere to your natural lashes comfortably and will not damage your lashes or cause the natural lashes to fall out. Please do NOT remove the eyelash extensions on your own.

WHAT'S THE TREATMENT LIKE?
The process is easy, non-invasive, and pain free. The treatment is quite relaxing, too. People often fall asleep during the application! When you visit Skye Lashes, you will lie down and relax on one of our luxurious treatment tables in a private room while your esthetician applies your lash extensions. In very rare instances, negative reactions to the materials we use can occur. If you experience any burning, pain or discomfort, please let us know right away! Overall, expect to be pampered for 2.5 to 3 hours for your full set appointment, and 90 minutes for all fill appointments.

CAN YOU WEAR MASCARA WITH THE EYELASH EXTENSIONS?
Yes, but it is not needed. When you look in the mirror you will see lush, natural lashes that are beautiful on their own. If you do wish to wear mascara to enhance your look, we recommend using a water-based formula specifically for eyelash extensions. We have several recommended brands available for purchase during your visit.

CAN THE EYELASHES BE REMOVED?
Yes, at any time and for any reason they can easily be removed by Skye Lashes. Simply schedule an appointment. Please do not attempt to remove any lashes on your own—you can damage your natural lashes this way.

HOW SHOULD I PREP FOR MY LASH EXTENSION APPOINTMENT?
Remove all eye makeup and clean your lashes with mild, oil free cleanser. Please don’t use oil-based makeup removers to clean your lashes prior to the application. Please don’t put on any mascara the day of your appointment; we’d rather spend your time working on perfecting your lashes. Please remove contact lenses and wear glasses to your appointment if your contact lenses bother you when you close your eyes.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING MY FIRST APPOINTMENT?
Please arrive 15-20 minutes early for your first visit to fill out paperwork. During your consultation, we will discuss your medical history, lifestyle, and desired look. Once this is complete, you will be escorted to a bed where your eyelash extension application will be performed. The application will begin with a thorough cleansing of the lash and eye area. The cleansing process will allow for a stronger bond between your natural lashes and the eyelash extensions. After a thorough cleanse, the lash stylist will begin to place an eyelash extension to each individual natural lash. Upon completion of the procedure, 90% of your natural lashes will have eyelash extensions applied (the average person has 150 lashes per eye). The integrity of your lashes is important to us. We will not do anything to cause breakage or bald spots. The process will take approximately 2.5 to 3 hours for your first set.

WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER MY LASH EXTENSION APPOINTMENT?
Following the important after-care instructions we provide will aid in extending the life of your lash extensions. The first 48 hours following your application are the most crucial. Care must be taken not to rub your eyes, pull your lashes, or scratch. Also, any creams, eye makeup removers, lotions, or cleansers containing oils can loosen the bond of the lash extensions. Care must be taken to apply eye cream sparingly with avoidance of the lash line area. In the shower, you should avoid direct water pressure on your extensions. Do not allow the use of a steam bath, swim or wash your face directly with hot water during the initial 48 hours after application. Some clients wear goggles in the shower the first couple days! It’s not necessary to ever use an eyelash curler. Your lashes will curl naturally. The use of a traditional eyelash curler may break both the lash extensions and your natural lashes.

CAN I SWIM, SHOWER EXERCISE OR VISIT A SPA WHILE WEARING EYELASH EXTENSIONS?
Special care is required in the first 48 hours to maximize the strength of the adhesive bond. After the first 48 hours, you can absolutely swim, shower, spa, or exercise. Our adhesives are strong and waterproof and will withstand normal wear and tear. If you follow the after-care instructions and provide proper maintenance, your lash extensions will not stop you from your everyday lifestyle activities.

WHAT HAPPENS IF A LASH SHOULD LOOSEN OR BECOME DISLODGED?
Do not pull on the lash; contact us to make an appointment to have the lash replaced. As your natural lashes fall out due to the growth cycle, you will need fills every 2 to 4 weeks as your new lashes grow in.

I HAVE VERY SENSITIVE EYES, CAN I WEAR EYELASH EXTENSIONS?
Absolutely. Our high-quality product line offers adhesives suitable for even sensitive eyes. Although uncommon, allergic reactions are possible—please call our lash artist if you have any concerns.
