What are the benefits of Eyelash Extensions?

What are the benefits of eyelash extensions? Well unless you’re naturally born with full, thick and luscious looking eyelashes (statically rare :P) then chances are you may consider having your eyelashes treated with beautiful extensions to give them an extra boost to improve and enhance your overall appearance.

Unlike ‘eyelash extensions’ that are applied by a professionally trained beautician that involves applying individual false lashes (made of either silk or mink) to your actual lashes to give them the most natural and glamorous look as much as possible while also ensuring they are long lasting. The session is always a very relaxing and luxurious procedure, and you may find yourself snoozing away. ‘False eyelashes’ on the other hand are easily purchased off the shelf from any retail store and can be applied yourself at home (DIY).. however these are basically one-off application and only stay on at most for a day or two.

Before deciding to make an appointment with I Heart Lashes, here a number of reasons as to why you should consider getting a treatment for eyelash extensions with us. And to be completely non-bias and transparent, there are always pros and cons to different beauty therapy treatments, and these important issues will be explained more thoroughly below.

Benefits of Eyelash Extensions

• Enhance and boost overall appearance: Lash extensions are available in a variety of styles and lengths which mainly depends on the look you’re after such as our natural classic set; to give a beautiful glowing appearance, while glamour extensions gives the stunning fashion / model look. Regardless of your choice of selection, these lashes will also look more beautiful than natural mascara and boost your overall appearance.
• Long lasting and save on time: Imagine waking up looking gorgeous, wonderful and not needing to apply mascara to get ready to leave for work, special date or particular occasion. With our high quality eyelash extension application and proper care, the lashes are guaranteed to last anywhere between three weeks to a couple of months. Whist mascara is not needed, this saves a lot of time on needing to apply make-up every single day. And when it comes the time to have your lashes treated again, simply have a refill session with us.. or if you decide to remove them, let us know as they’re just as easy! 🙂

Basic things to consider and know

• Application and regular maintenance: If it is your first time getting eyelash extensions, please know application can take up to 60-90 minutes depending on the length of your existing lashes. We take the utmost care to ensure you have a comfortable, relaxing experience and more importantly ensure you leave looking beautiful! The time required for your next refill session is slightly shorter than your first session, as re-application is required due to the regrowth cycle of your nautral eyelashes that generally occur anywhere between 3-4 weeks.
• Limitations on make up selection: When you have eyelash extensions it is generally not ideal to wear eyeshadow or eyeliner. In addition, as lash extensions already give a sensational beautiful look, the use of mascara (due to its weight) can cause damage to the extensions and cause the glue to lose its adherence. Although we understand at times it is absolutely hard to refrain from using make-up, a general rule of thumb is to avoid using liquid based eye products.

We hope this article is somewhat helpful in allowing you to decide whether eyelash extensions would be suitable. Please note the procedure is completely safe and non-invasive.
