AEyelash Extensions are not False Eyelashes!

Eyelash extensions are single Synthetic, Silk or Cruelty free Mink eyelashes that are individually grafted on your natural eyelash (not the skin) to create a full and natural set of ling eyelashes.

At Boudoir Lash Bar the individual hairs are grafted on using the highest quality and approved products. By using the best quality eyelashes and grafting process your lashes our clients normally only need a touch up refill at either 2 week or three week intervals to keep their eyelashes looking full and luscious and natural at the same time.

AHow are the Eyelash Extensions Grafted?

A single natural eyelash is isolated and a synthetic/Silk or Mink eyelash is glued to the top of your own natural eyelash approximately 1mm from the eyelid so neither the glue or the lash has contact with the skin.

AIt is a meticulous procedure that requires patience and concentration so therefore it should not be rushed so that clients can leave with a perfect set of lashes. You relax with your eyes closed and there is no pain as this is a non-invasive procedure. Often clients are so relaxed they fall asleep.

If you are having a Full Set of eyelash Extensions applied you it will take approximately 1 hour, if you have never been to Boudoir Lash Bar we will also need an additional 15 minutes to discuss with you the many options you have as well as understand the look you desire and how best to achieve this.

The application of your Eyelash Extensions is not painful or uncomfortable at all, in fact is so relaxing that most of our clients fall asleep when they are in the appointment.

ANo, definitely not this is a myth. At Boudoir Lash Bar our clients have constantly had extensions (they cant bear to be with out their Eyelashes) applied with no break and they have never encountered their lashes all falling off.

It is important to have your lash extensions if by a qualified operator who uses to quality product as poor quality application or product can cause irritation and that may cause your eyelashes to fall out prematurely.

It is important to note that your eyelashes have a natural cycle and constantly being replaced like your hair. There is no way to tell prior to having your eyelash extensions applied at which point of the cycle your individual eyelashes are at.

If you play with or tug at your eyelash extensions and pull out your own natural lash there will be no new lash ready to grow to take its place and you will have to wait 6-8 weeks for that lash to grow.

AAbsolutely, however some of our clients find that after they have their Eyelashes Extended by Boudoir Lash Bar feel they don’t need any eye makeup or just a sweep of eyeliner and mascara on the lower lashes!

The important thing to remember about wearing eye makeup is that it needs to come off!

When removing eyeliner and eye shadow use a damp cotton bud and a small amount of eye Eyelash Extension make-up remover, then gently run the cotton bud along the eyeliner to remove it.

To remove eye shadow wet a cotton circle with eyelash extension eye make-up remover and gently remove in a side and upward movement not down onto the eyelash extensions. Wiping down towards the lashes will cause a build up of makeup on the lashes and may lessen the life of them.

NOTE: Many water based and oil based eye makeup removers contain dissolving agents that will dissolve the grafting agent for your Eyelash extensions. It is very important that you only use eye make up remover that is specifically designed for use on eyelash extensions. We cannot guarantee the life of your lashes if you use products that will dissolve the grafting agent.
