LASH EXTENSIONS FAQS
WILL IT RUIN OR CAUSE MY NATURAL LASHES TO FALL OUT?
Based on the growth cycle of eyelashes, when applying lashes, we are trained to look for adult lashes to attach the individual synthetic lashes. Young (baby) lashes are left to allow them to fully develop and when it comes times to re-lash, we have new strong lashes to bond to.Lash extensions will not cause your natural eyelashes to fall out. Remember that your natural lashes have their own life cycle of falling and growing – like the hair found elsewhere on your body. It's hard to notice small lashes falling out, but when attached to a thicker, longer lash they become much more noticeable! Once the extensions are removed, your own eyes may appear smaller, your natural lashes, shorter and sparser because you've been accustomed to a full set of longer, thicker lashes.
DO YOU USE PRE-FANNED, PRO-MADE FANS, OR CLUSTER LASHES?
Marveleyes does not use Pre-fanned, Pro-made fans, or cluster lashes. We believe in making each lash fan on the spot so we can properly determine the correct weight and number of lashes can be used per fan for each natural lash to avoid compromising the health of your natural lashes.By making each fan on the spot we can allow the extensions to wrap around the natural lash to provide a more secure bond to provide extra durability.This is a lengthier technique and process however we want to ensure we are able to provide nothing but the best quality and value to our clients.
WHAT KIND OF LASH EXTENSIONS DO YOU USE?
Marveleyes only uses Faux Mink and Synthetic Silk Lashes made from Polybutelyne Theraphthalate (PBT) as they retain their curl longer while remaining super soft and flexible.
​
We never use mink is actual hair as it tends loses its curl when wet and for some individuals it may produce an allergic reaction. More importantly, we only use animal cruelty free products.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO APPLY LASH EXTENSIONS?
Lash extensions are applied while you are lying down with your eyes closed on a comfortable spa bed in a serene setting.
At Maveleyes we take pride in the quality of our work and will fill 100% of lashes that are suitable and healthy. So depending on the amount of natural lashes you have and your the lash style chosen this can take on average 2.5-3 hours for a full set of lashes.
After washing and prepping your lashes, your bottom lashes are protected with a gel eye pad, lash extensions are then applied 1-to-1 with medical grade adhesive.
It is a really relaxing, non-invasive treatment and most of our clients take the time to catch up on their beauty sleep!
HOW LONG WILL MY LASH SET LAST AND HOW OFTEN DO I NEED A REFILL?
Your new lash set will look pretty much bare by 6 weeks. However, this all depends on your natural lash growth speed, skin pH level, skincare and lash care routine.
​
To maintain the full look new lashes will typically require a refill between 2 to 4 weeks. If you wait too long or go beyond 6 weeks your extensions will fall out and you will require a full set.
Factors such as exposure to humidity, steam or touching your eyes a lot may cause the extensions to fall quicker.
Refills may take from 1-2.5 hours, depending on the state of your remaining lashes. At Marveleyes our refills may take longer than most as we want to ensure our client's are walking out with a lash set that look just as good as new. For each client, we provide a thorough lash bath then carefully remove all outgrown/twisted lashes which may take up to 30 minutes before the beginning of the refill lash application.
A good sign of when you need a refill is when your extensions are 50%-60% gone.
At Marveleyes, we offer several refill options to provide more flexibility to our clients (Please see our Price List)
​
ARE THERE ANY HYPO-ALLERGENIC OPTIONS FOR THOSE ALLERGIC TO LASH EXTENSIONS?
At Marveleyes we only use lash adhesive that are clear and are free from the ingredient called "carbon black" which is the colouring used in all black adhesive and many make up products in the market. Carbon black has been found to cause an allergic reaction to some individuals.
​
Another ingredient that may be a cause for an allergic reaction may be the ingredient that are contained in all adhesives in the market called "cyanoacrylate". Unfortunately, if you do have a reaction from this you will not be suitable for eyelash extensions as cyanoacrylate is a crucial adhesive bonding ingredient.
An alternative we is do highly suggest is a Lash Lift + Tint. Paired with an Eyenvy Eyelash Growth Conditioner you can still achieve a set of luscious and dramatically curled lashes!
​
IS THERE ANYTHING I SHOULD DO TO PREPARE FOR MY APPOINTMENT?
Yes! Try your best to arrive without any eye makeup. This will minimize the cleanup time and allow more time for applying the extensions. You will need to keep your lashes dry for 24 hours after the application so it's also a good idea to have your hair washed the day of or night before.
WHAT IS THE AFTERCARE?
Do not get lashes wet for 24 hours
Avoid steam rooms, saunas, or any high heat and humid activities for 48 hours
Use only water-based make and make up remover.
Remove make up around the eye area only with lint free tolls. Do not use cotton swabs or pads, it may snag on to the extensions
