The short answer is : yes. But this is only if they aren’t applied properly. When lash extensions are applied adequately, you could get lash extensions applied for years & years & there would be no damage caused.
+ Clean your lashes
You must come with clean lashes prior to your appointment. Please do not wear makeup & also avoid applying any creams around your eyes. This assures that all your natural bodily oils, makeup, dust and debris are cleansed off. If your lashes are not squeaky clean, it’s like trying to stick a sticker to a dusty window. It doesn’t stick well. The cleaner your lashes are, the better your retention will be.
+ No Caffeine
Caffeine makes your eyes fluttery which makes it harder for me to place lashes and slows down the process. Fluttery eyes also allow fumes to sneak in that can cause chemical burns in your eye – aka when your eyes turn bright pink. To avoid all this, save the latte for after your appointment!
+ Phone on vibrate
Make sure you put your phone on vibrate to avoid distractions & take this time to relax!
Refills must be done every 2-3 weeks. Anything above 3 weeks could possibly be considered a full set or have extra fees on top of the regular refill price. Why? Your natural lashes grow every day little by little & shed to give place to a new lash to grow. Meanwhile, your extensions sit on top on your natural lash & grows with it, meaning that after 2-3 weeks that extensions looks grown out and uneven and has to come off. Also, if those grown outs aren’t removed they will add weight on your natural lashes, resulting in damage. During your refill appointment, I will remove the extensions that have grown out, glue new ones & also apply new extensions where the old ones have already fallen off by themselves.

Avoid getting your lashes wet or exposed to steam for the 24hrs following your appointment. This will ensure the adhesive is fully dry.
+ Cleanse
You must cleanse your lashes daily with a lash shampoo and brush! These are available for sale at the studio. Doing this will prevent any irritations & infections on your eyes & will also keep your extensions looking beautiful.
+ No Oil-based products around your eyes
Use oil-free products on and around your eyes. Oil breaks down glue, which causes poor retention.
+ No mascara
Mascara breaks down the adhesive of your lash extensions, closes all your volume fans and sticks to the base of the extension. It’s best to keep your lashes free of unnecessary build up.
Do not touch your lashes Again Oil breaks down glue, which causes poor retention.
Try to avoid sleeping face straight in your pillow
Do not brush your lashes when wet. Brush when dry.

Please message me first prior to booking. I will ask to send the other lash artist social media pages so I can take a look at their work, techniques & products they work it. I will also ask that you send a picture of your lashes. Please keep in mind that in the case that I do accept you, the final result will not reflect my work 100%, since you will have the work of 2 difference lash artist on your eyes. Extra fees might apply depending on the condition of your lashes. I reserve myself the right to refuse doing your refill if ever it absolutely needs a removal and a new set.
