Eyelash extensions At Renewal Skin Spa

Every lash extension experience is customized.

First, we will help you choose the length and discuss extension lengths from 8 to 14mm. The sweet spot for most is right in the middle 10mm-12mm.

After you pick your length you can pick your curl. A “J” curl is for a more natural, awake look, while a “C”, “CC” and D” curls are more dramatic and will give a freshly curled lash look that is more BOLD rather than subtle. Everyone is different. Explore the lash possibilities!

Remember all lashes are different, and eye shapes make certain curls appear differently as well. So explain the look you desire to your artist.

(No fear, it can all be customized and adjusted to your liking!)

Now, in terms of material, you have a lot to choose from: Faux Mink, Silk, Mayfair mink, flat lashes, dark brown and even colored lashes.

Eyelash extensions last longer than you think.

With proper care, extensions can last up to a month and a half. We recommend you come back every 2-3 weeks for a touch up (fill appointment), but if you’re looking to save a bit of money, you can prolong lifespan by using sealer, performing proper home care and following after care instructions.

Yes, you can wear makeup with them.

If you can’t stand the thought of ditching your smoky eye, don’t worry! Make sure to carefully remove the shadow or liner with oil-free makeup remover and Q-tips for precision. However, it is important to stay away from mascara entirely as it leaves the extensions crusty and damaged. It’s only acceptable if you’re at the end of your cycle and will be getting a fresh set in a few days or if you are using an extension safe mascara!

Extensions can ruin your eyelashes—but they don’t have to.

That is, if you don’t play by the rules.

  • Follow the directions of after care at home!
  • Don’t pull your lashes, and communicate your lash goals with your stylist.
  • At each session your natural lash health will be assessed to determine which lash weight and length is the best and healthiest option for you.

The only way to get rid of them is to get them professionally removed or have them fall out naturally.

Having the extensions removed is as easy as having them put on–painless and quick. If you’re not looking to spend any more money the extensions do fall out with the natural shedding of your lashes but can take a little longer.

  • Under no circumstances should you ever cut/trim the lashes, this will cut and damage your natural ones.
  • Give us a call if you have decided extensions are not for you.

Adjusting your skin care routine

Eyelash Extensions

  • The general rule of thumb is to avoid anything too oily.
  • Stick to non-oily makeup removers using micellar water with a cotton swab to remove makeup around your eyes (with cotton pads-fibers will stick to your lashes)
  • Use a precise q-tip around lash line or baby shampoo and water (50/50) with a CLEAN eye-shadow brush.
  • Paint down the lashes and along lash line.
  • Rinse gently with lukewarm water and pat dry.
  • Wait to comb until dry completely.

Quick tips:

Eyelash Extensions

  • Get a satin or silk pillow case!
    This causes less friction which means less hair loss(score!) and also provides anti-aging benefits along with anti wrinkle!
  • After bathing wait to comb your lashes until they are dry. This will help greatly with retention.
  • Use a sealer!
    This formula is specially created to provide protection from oil, sweat, tears, water, makeup, and any outside factor that can compromise the bond.
  • Apply moisturizer in the AM. This will allow time for absorption so that a possible oil transfer chance is minimized allowing for better retention.

…and the way you do your makeup.

  • Stay away from waterproof eye makeup; removing it will take a toll on your eyes and can affect the adhesive.
  • And if you’re devoted to liner (though you may find you no longer want it), stick to gel and liquid formulas that won’t tug at your lashes.
