If you’re wondering if eyelash extensions are right for you, you’ve come to the right place. The iBEAUTY CODE ultimate guide to eyelash extensions is designed to give you all the information you need about what eyelash extensions are, how to choose the right type of eyelash extensions, how to find the perfect lash stylist, and how to take care of your eyelash extensions. Grab a coffee or tea; it will be an exciting read.

Introduction

Eyelash extensions are a form of semi-permanent makeup designed to enhance your natural eyelashes. They work by attaching synthetic, mink, or silk extensions to your existing eyelashes, giving you the appearance of longer, fuller, and more voluminous lashes. Eyelash extensions can last anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks and are a great way to accentuate your beauty without needing makeup or mascara.

It’s essential to choose the right type of eyelash extensions for your needs, as each style has its unique characteristics. Synthetic eyelash extensions are made from a synthetic material and provide a voluminous, bolder look. Mink eyelash extensions have a more natural and lightweight feel, while silk eyelash extensions are a great option if you want a more dramatic and wispy look.

Choosing the Right Lash Stylist

Choosing the right lash stylist is critical to getting the best results from your eyelash extensions. The best way to find a reputable lash stylist is to research, read reviews online, ask your friends for recommendations, and contact stylists with questions.

When selecting a lash stylist, it’s essential to ask questions about their experience, qualifications, and the products they use. Additionally, make sure you know what the costs will be, and how long the appointment will take, and ask for before and after photos of the lash stylist’s previous clients.

Preparing for Your Appointment

Before you head off to your eyelash extension appointment, there are a few things you should do to ensure that the application process goes smoothly. First, remove any makeup or dirt around the eye area; this will help ensure that the adhesive sticks correctly and that your lashes look their best. Additionally, it’s important to avoid caffeine before the appointment, as it can make your eyes extra sensitive during the application process. Finally, arrive on time, which will help ensure your appointment goes as smoothly as possible.

The Eyelash Extension Process

The eyelash extension process usually takes between 1 and 2 hours. During the appointment, your lash stylist will clean and prep your lashes and then begin attaching the extensions. Depending on your desired look, your lash stylist may apply complete sets of extensions or partial sets to fill in sparse areas. The extensions will be attached one by one to your natural lashes with medical-grade adhesive, and the result will be longer, fuller, and more voluminous.

Aftercare and Maintenance

Once you’ve had your eyelash extensions applied, it’s essential to properly care for them to ensure that they last as long as possible. The best way to care for your lashes is to use gentle, oil-free products and to avoid rubbing or touching the extensions. Additionally, it’s important to use a clean spoolie brush to comb the lashes at least twice daily to ensure they remain in place.

When cleaning and maintaining your eyelash extensions, several products are specifically designed for this purpose.

These include lash cleansing foam, lash shampoo, and lash conditioner, which can gently remove dirt and debris without affecting the adhesive. You can purchase these products at our studio. Just ask our technicians when you are in for your appointment.

Common Misconceptions About Eyelash Extensions

Eyelash extensions are a great way to boost your confidence and accentuate your natural beauty. However, there are many misconceptions about eyelash extensions that can be dispelled with a bit of education.

First, many people assume that eyelash extensions are painful, but in reality, they are completely painless. Additionally, they will not harm your natural lashes as long as you follow the proper maintenance instructions. Finally, eyelash extensions are not permanent and will slowly shed as your natural lashes grow and shed.

The cost of eyelash extension services in Toronto can vary depending on several factors, such as the type of lash extensions, the experience of the technician, and the location of the salon. On average, a complete set of classic lash extensions can cost anywhere from $99 to $200.

When to Get Eyelash Extensions Refill

Your eyelash extensions will naturally shed between 3-5 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle. To maintain a full and voluminous look, it’s important to refill your eyelash extensions as needed. Signs that your eyelash extensions need to be refilled include thinning of the extensions, shorter extensions, and gaps between the extensions. How often to get your eyelash extensions filled will depend on your natural lash cycle, and it’s recommended to get them refilled every 3-4 weeks.

Removing Eyelash Extensions

In some cases, it may be necessary to remove your eyelash extensions. This can be done by a professional. It’s important to have the extensions professionally removed. The lash stylist will use a special remover and tweezers to remove the extensions without damaging your delicate lashes. At iBeauty Code, we offer the Removal service for as low as $30.
