No. Both lash extensions and lash lifts are not damaging. It can only be damaging if the lashes are yanked or the extensions are incorrectly applied. If you look closely, you'll see that the extensions are applied to the lashes one at a time. And as the natural lashes grow, the extensions will grow with it too.

How Long is An Appointment?

Full set lash extension appointments are 1 hour and 30 minutes. Refill appointments are 1 hour. You can see all our services, pricing, and duration here.

What's The Aftercare for Extensions?

For the first 24 hours, avoid getting your lashes wet. After the initial 24 hours, avoid using oily products such as face oils and oil-based spf. Other than that, just keep them clean with daily cleaning and brushing!

Yes. After the first 24 hours, lashes are great for the beach, pool, showers, hot tubs, and water sports. After they're wet, just pat the extensions dry and brush them out to avoid them clumping together from the water.

How Often Do I Need Refills?

Refills can be completed as often as you like! Typically, refills are every 2 or 3 weeks. Refills are necessary because the extensions grow WITH your natural lashes.

How Long Do They Last?

How long lash extensions last completely depends on your natural shedding cycle and lifestyle. The average person loses up to 8 natural lashes per day. But, improper aftercare may cause extensions to fall out faster. Typically, most of our clients' extensions last up to 4 weeks.

No, lash extensions should feel weightless. There is a variety of thicknesses that our lash specialists can choose from to make extensions feel as comfortable as possible. The thicker your natural lash is, the thicker of an extension your lashes can hold. Vice versa- the thinner your natural lash is, the thinner the extension will be.

Are There Different Styles?

Yes there is a variety of styles to choose from. Your lash specialist will consult with you on what would look best for your natural facial features - but ultimately it's whatever you want! Our most popular styles are natural classic, or fluffy volume cat eye.

What's the Difference Between Lash Lifts and Extensions?

Lash lifts (commonly paired with tints) curl your natural lashes and last up to 6 weeks. Lash extensions are actual hairs attached to each individual natural lash and last up to 4 weeks. Clients who have naturally long lashes that want a natural look typically prefer lash lifts. Otherwise, lash extensions offer more customization and can alter the length, thickness, and darkness of your lashes - dramatically or naturally changing your overall appearance.

How to Remove Lash Extensions?

In the instance you don't want to let them naturally fall out, you can come in for a removal. During a removal, a gel or cream remover will be used to dissolve the adhesive which will painlessly allow the extensions to come off in less than 15 minutes. If you are unable to come in for a removal, clients are suggested to take a hot shower then apply a generous amount of coconut oil along the lash line for 20-30 minutes. The steam will loosen up the adhesive and oil will break it down. At home removals may take a few tries and risk accidentally pulling out natural lashes - so we always suggest clients to come in. Removals typically occur when there is a reaction or sensitivity towards the extensions.

Brow tinting is a temporary solution to darkening eyebrow hairs. Brow tints are waterproof and look the most defined for up to a week, although the eyebrow hairs will stay dark for up to 6 weeks.

Is There A More Permanent Option of Brow Tinting?

Yes, there are plenty of options for longer term perfect brows such as microblading, combo brows, brow shading, and more. To see more details on these services, go to "permanent makeup" tab on our service menu here.

Does Permanent Makeup Last Forever?

No. Although it is called permanent makeup, the colors fade over the course of years. The pigments and procedures used with permanent makeup is not nearly as permanent as a regular tattoo. How long permanent brow, eyeliner, or lips last depends on the aftercare of the client and their lifestyle. Clients are suggested to book a consultation to discuss expectations and get all answers questioned before scheduling the actual procedure appointment.

What Are Other Permanent Makeup Options?

We currently offer permanent eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip blushing.

Say Goodbye to Dull Skin with the Magic of Facial Toner

If you've been struggling with dull skin and are looking for a simple yet effective solution, facial toner might just be your new best friend. This often-overlooked skincare step can transform your complexion and elevate your entire beauty routine. Let's dive into the world of facial toners and discover the magic they hold.

What is Facial Toner and Why It Matters

Facial toner is a liquid skincare product designed to cleanse the skin, remove excess oil, and prep the complexion for the next steps in your routine. It’s not just a cleansing step; it adds an extra layer of hydration and balance, setting the foundation for glowing skin.

Many people often underestimate the importance of toner, viewing it as an unnecessary step. However, it plays a crucial role in ensuring your skin is properly prepared to absorb the products that follow. Imagine treating your skin like a canvas — a toner preps that canvas, smoothing out any rough patches and allowing your serums and moisturizers to work their magic.

Moreover, the right toner can address specific skincare concerns. For instance, if you battle with oily skin, a toner with astringent properties can help tighten those pores. Conversely, if your skin leans towards dryness, a hydrating toner can boost moisture levels, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

The Benefits of Using a Facial Toner

From tightening pores to balancing pH levels, facial toners come with a myriad of benefits. They help to restore moisture, remove any leftover impurities, and can even provide additional skin-enhancing properties depending on the ingredients used. Think of a toner as your skin's best friend, supporting you in your quest for that luminous glow.

In addition to refining your pores and improving your skin texture, toners can also help soothe irritation. This is particularly beneficial for those with sensitive skin or conditions like rosacea. Ingredients such as aloe vera or chamomile can calm redness and promote an even skin tone, making your complexion look polished and revitalized.

Furthermore, toners can act as a barrier against environmental stressors. When your skin is properly balanced and hydrated, it can better defend itself against pollutants and harsh weather conditions. So, using a toner is like adding an invisible shield to your skin, allowing it to glow naturally!

Choosing the Right Toner for Your Skin Type

With various formulations available, it's essential to select a toner that suits your specific skin type. Whether you have oily, dry, sensitive, or combination skin, there are toners enriched with ingredients that cater to your unique needs. It’s a game-changer to find a toner that truly resonates with your skin’s requirements.

For oily skin, a toner with witch hazel or tea tree oil can work wonders, as these ingredients help combat excess sebum production. On the other hand, if your skin is dry, look for hydrating toners infused with hyaluronic acid or glycerin. These components will draw moisture into your skin and keep it feeling plump and nourished.

Sensitive skin types should seek out gentler formulations. Toners with calming ingredients like rose water or calendula can help to soothe without causing irritation. Regardless of your skin type, taking the time to research and choose the right toner can lead to a noticeable difference in your overall skin health.

How to Incorporate Toner into Your Skincare Routine

Integrating a toner into your daily routine is easy! Simply splash it on or apply it with a cotton pad after cleansing, before your serum and moisturizer. This seamless addition can enhance the effectiveness of your entire skincare regimen. It’s a small step that can lead to significant results.

You might wonder about the timing of your toner application. It’s most effective when applied right after cleansing, as this will help to remove any residual dirt or makeup. Following this, your skin is primed for serums and creams, allowing for deeper penetration of nourishing ingredients.

Additionally, consider the frequency of your toner application. Daily use is typically recommended, but depending on your skin’s sensitivity, you may want to start with a few times a week and adjust accordingly. Listening to your skin is key; if it feels overly dry or irritated, scale back on the toner until you find a comfortable rhythm.

DIY Toner Recipes to Try at Home

Want to get creative? Here are some simple DIY toner recipes you can whip up at home using natural ingredients. From green tea to rose water, these toners not only save you money but also provide skin-loving benefits without harsh chemicals. It’s a fun way to tailor toners to your personal preferences and explore the world of natural skincare.

One popular DIY option is a green tea toner. Brew a cup of green tea and let it cool. Once it's at room temperature, pour it into a spray bottle and add a few drops of lemon juice. Green tea is packed with antioxidants that help protect your skin, while lemon juice brightens and evens out complexion.

Another great recipe involves apple cider vinegar. Mix one part apple cider vinegar with two parts water, and you have yourself a refreshing toner that can help control oil and balance pH levels. Just remember to perform a patch test first, as some skin types may react differently. With these simple recipes, you're in control of your skincare!

Embrace the Glow

Incorporating a facial toner into your skincare routine can lead to radiant, healthy skin. By understanding the benefits, choosing the right product, and applying it correctly, you can say goodbye to dullness and hello to a vibrant glow.
