Eyelash Extensions

Eyelash Extensions are synthetic lashes that are attached to each of your individual lashes with a specially formulated adhesive. Because Salon Estique is so committed to quality and uses some of the best products on the market, we use silk or faux mink lash extensions and all of the ingredients in the adhesive are available for your review. There are currently three different techniques of applying eyelash extensions: Classic, Volume, or our Signature Hybrid Method.

• The Classic Method is used to apply one (1) synthetic eyelash per one (1) natural eyelash. This method is recommended if you would like your lashes to appear longer and thicker, but still remain close to the same density as your natural lashes. The synthetic lashes used in the Classic method are lightweight and similar in diameter to a natural eyelash. If you have naturally sparse or fine lashes, the Classic method may not be the ideal method is it likely will not provide sufficient fullness.  

• The Volume Method is used to apply up to six (6) synthetic lashes, made into tiny fans, per one (1) natural eyelash. The synthetic lashes used in this method are much thinner and smaller in diameter than a natural eyelash, so multiple synthetic lashes can be fanned together and applied without damaging the natural eyelash. This technique is recommended if you would like your eyelashes to be considerably thicker, denser, and fuller. The Volume Method can produce both natural and dramatic results, depending on your preference!

• Our Signature Hybrid Method is a customized combination of the Classic and Volume techniques, meaning some natural lashes will have only one synthetic lash applied and some will have “fans” of lashes applied in the same set. This technique allows for the best of both worlds… a little bit more volume than Classic but not as much as a full Volume set.

Yes! Anyone can have luscious eyelashes! Eyelash extensions do require regular fills and there are specific at home care instructions that you must follow in order to keep your eyelash extensions in good condition. Please note, those who are pregnant, tan regularly, sleep on their stomach, or pull at their lashes may experience difficulty with retention of eyelash extensions.

No! When applied properly, eyelash extensions will not damage your natural eyelashes. Damage only occurs when the natural eyelashes are not properly isolated during the attachment of the synthetic lashes or when extensions that are too long or heavy for the natural lash are applied. Our Lash Specialist is highly trained and certified to ensure the lash application procedure is done safely and properly to ensure the best possible results.

Reactions to the adhesive are rare. Most clients who have a reaction are suffering from allergies, are not cleansing their eyelash extensions properly at home, or are also allergic to other cosmetic adhesives. It is important to note that the eyelash extensions are applied to your eyelash, not your skin, so a patch test may not reveal whether you will be allergic to the adhesive.

Our Lash Artist will begin by having you complete a consent/medical history form. This ensures that you completely understand the extension process and identifies any medical conditions that may affect the retention of your eyelash extensions. The Lash Artist will then perform a complete consultation with you. Your lifestyle, eye shape, and the health of your natural lashes are all considered when your lash artist is choosing the length, diameter, and curl of your eyelash extensions. The application process itself is so relaxing that most clients fall asleep.

Come to your appointment without eye makeup on. This will ensure a quicker more efficient eyelash extension application process. If you must wear eye makeup the day of your appointment please arrive at least 5 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment in order to remove your eye makeup at the salon. Try to avoid drinking caffeine during the few hours prior to your appointment, as the caffeine may cause your eyes to flutter during your appointment and can hinder the application process.

Many factors influence how long your eyelash extensions will last and can vary from person to person. We naturally lose anywhere from two to five natural lashes each day, so it is normal for you to lose up to a few lash extensions each day as well. Weekly fills are ideal and will keep your lashes full, lovely and looking their very best! However, it is generally recommended that you come in every 2-2 ½ weeks to get your extensions filled.  At 3 weeks you will have lost the majority of your natural and/or synthetic lashes and your extensions will look a bit sparse, however, it is perfectly fine to get regular fills at 3 weeks if that is all your schedule will allow.

Yes! However, please mention when you are scheduling your appointment that you have had your extensions done somewhere else so that the proper amount of time can be scheduled.
