FAQs about Eyelash Extension Treatments
Our infills bookings are based on time. All of our stylists work fairly quickly, but how many lashes we can apply/how full we can get the lashes depends on how much time you book and what you have left when you come in. Here's a guide - based on average cumulative [...]
Yes - but if you always wear a lot of makeup on your lashes (not advisable with lash extensions) we recommend taking them all off and starting afresh every 6-9 weeks (every 3rd infill approx) as it's really hard to clean off makeup that's stuck in between lashes/on the lash [...]
In Australia, it is standard practice to offer infills, and most reputable salons and stylists do. I would be a little wary of any salon or operator who said they cannot/do not do them (particularly on their own work). Lashes can be generally infilled as long as they've been applied [...]
What are Classic lashes? What are Volume lashes? And what are Hybrid lashes!? Classic lashes are where we attach one single fibre (that can be anywhere from 0.10 to 0.18 in diameter, depending on your natural lash strength) to one of your natural lashes. Depending on the set chosen, we'll [...]
If you're wearing eyelash extensions, avoid rubbing your eyes whenever possible. When you rub your eye, the friction can cause your lashes to twist out of place - in some cases they can be ripped out by a stray fingernail or knuckle! If your eyes are itchy or dry, keep moisturising [...]
Castor oil contains fatty acids that have been reported to help with lash growth - the oil nourishes your natural lashes and hydrates the skin around your eyes. As you may have guessed, however, castor oil is one of those unfortunate oil products that attacks the glue bonding your [...]
The short answer: absolutely, in both cases! The long answer: We customise our lash extensions to each client's natural lashes - we apply tailored extensions to straight lashes, naturally curly lashes, gappy lashes, thin lashes and those that are already thick and full - and everything in between. Each stylist [...]
Yes – the eyelash extension adhesives we use are almost completely fume-free, approved for cosmetic use and safe for your eyes. The adhesives and other liquids used are purchased from an Australian company who are registered with NICNAS, to ensure that the ingredients are safe and legal for cosmetic use - we know [...]
Russian volume lashes are currently the most popular technique amongst master lash artists - hailing from Russia, the phenomenon has spread worldwide! This technique involves 3-14 lightweight extensions, which are applied in a fan shape to each natural lash. This technique creates an intensely voluminous lash set with a soft, [...]
One of the questions we’re asked regularly about eyelash extensions is about the difference between silk and mink eyelash extensions. Having used these materials for years, we’re very familiar with the features of each material and why you might choose one over the other. You don’t have to worry about [...]
Yes. This is one of our favourite things about eyelash extensions – you can have pretty eyes when you wake up, straight out of the shower, and even out of the pool! If you’re swimming in water that is chlorinated or salty, splash your extensions with fresh water afterwards or [...]
In most cases, yes – but if you have had particularly bad extensions done somewhere else (cheap overseas salons are a big offender - the glue will look shiny and like concrete...) we cannot guarantee that we will be able to remove the lashes or apply new ones immediately. It [...]
Absolutely. We actually have many male as well non-binary clients – you’d probably be surprised! Some are wanting a completely undetectable look that just brightens up their eyes a bit whilst others wear them loud and proud. Everyone can enjoy eyelash extensions for refreshed and beautiful-looking eyes. We customise the [...]
The vast majority of our lash and brow stylists have over 5 years experience – and many 10-15. All of our lash and brow stylists are tested rigorously before they join the Lady Lash team, and have ongoing training with our most senior stylists and salon managers - many of whom [...]
We definitely recommend trialling them a few weeks before the big day, then infilling closer to the event. This is because a) you don't want to develop a surprise allergic reaction/red eye reaction the day before your wedding - testing it out first is a good idea - and b) [...]
It's best that you wait 6-8 weeks so that the lashes are smooth enough to allow for correct bonding. On very lifted/kinked lashes, it can be difficult to get them to bond well/last properly. If your lash lift is a very gentle curl or has dropped significantly, then it should [...]
Please have a look at our complete aftercare here for tips on what might be the cause. If you are experiencing any issues in the first 3 days after your appointment (if there is a bonding issue, it will become apparent during this timeframe) please contact us and we will [...]
Some people don't actually realise this, but every day, we lose anywhere from 1-5 natural lashes - much like the hairs on our head, they replace themselves as new ones grow! Usually twice a year (chance of seasons, particularly end of Summer and beginning of Spring you will notice that [...]
Whilst we welcome clients wearing extensions from elsewhere and are happy to work in with other good quality lashes, we often are unable to infill lashes done elsewhere, due to issues of quality – primarily extensions being stuck together, excess glue and cluster lashes or heavy pre-made fans being advertised [...]
Yes - best to do it AFTER the extension application, not before, and only a light spray on the face.
It depends greatly on the type of set, and the time you have booked (this will be dictated by how much you have lost). Classic infills are between $75 - $125 Hybrid infills – $95 – $165 Volume infills – $95 – $195 ($195 is a very large, 2 hr infill [...]
Around 2 to 3 weeks after your initial lash appointment, some of your natural lashes will have reached the end of their life cycles and shed. You will start seeing little gaps where the old ones have fallen, with new baby lashes coming through – at this point it’s a [...]
In this case, we'd recommend infilling them with just volume lashes - choose medium volume and we can go from there! If you're unsure how much time to book, feel free to get in touch!
This involves applying silk or faux-mink eyelash extensions using a slightly different application method, where between 3-14 extremely light-weight extensions are applied in a fanned-out way, to each natural lash, creating intense volume with a soft, fluffy feeling. Volume lashes are really wonderful for those with naturally fine or sparse [...]
One of the questions we’re asked here regularly at Lady Lash about eyelash extensions is about the difference between silk, synthetic (also known as ‘acrylic’) and mink eyelash extensions. Having used all three of these materials for years, we’re very familiar with the difference, pros and cons of different kinds, [...]
They can be removed using a professional solution if you decide that they are not for you. But we’re sure this won’t be the case! Take a look at our Before and After gallery to see how fabulous they look on our clients. for more information visit: www.ladylash.com.au
Of course! You may find it more comfortable, however, to remove contacts before your appointment, or bring your contacts case so you can remove them immediately prior. You need to remove hard contact lenses before your appointment, as they can often prevent you from closing your eyes comfortably.
Almost everybody can use eyelash extensions to increase the appeal and look of their eyes. The difference will be instant – your eyes will look sparkly and refreshed immediately! As the glue is applied directly to the eyelash and does not touch the skin, there is very rarely any issue [...]
We have a whole separate page dedicated to this topic here. There are a few simple steps you can take to make sure you get the most out of your eyelash extensions. At your appointment, we give you an after-care card outlining how to take care of them, the [...]
Yes, appointments are highly recommended - particularly for longer appointments like eyelash extensions and lash lifts. Our weekend and evening appointments (between 4:30 – 8pm) are the most popular and can sometimes book out weeks ahead, and some of our stylists are fully booked 2-3 weeks ahead. Same-day/walk-in appointments are [...]
