Lash Extensions Frequently Asked Questions

Lash extensions are individual synthetic, silk, or mink lashes that are attached to your natural lashes using a semi-permanent adhesive to enhance length, curl, and volume.

Lash extensions typically last 2–3 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle and how well you care for them. Regular fills every 2–3 weeks are recommended to maintain their look.

When applied properly by a trained professional, lash extensions will not damage your natural lashes. It’s important to follow aftercare instructions and avoid picking or pulling at them.
