WAX AFTERCARE

Eyelash extensions are not for everyone as they are considered a very high maintenance beauty treatment.
Maintaining Eyelash Extensions requires very gentle care in order for the lashes to last long and stay in good condition.
Once the lashes are attached you must not rub or pull on them.
You must not wear any mascara or use Eyelash curlers.
Before your service you will be required to read and understand all the aftercare information listed and sign a form.

Avoid any activity that will cause you to seat excessively as in working out, sauna, hot baths, intimacy, tanning beds, direct sun exposure. For the next 24 hours.
Do not apply make-up and avoid touching the area for facial services to ensure the area stays clean.
Begin exfoliating the area 2 days after your wax 2-3 times a week. If you are prone to bumps, breakouts or ingrown hairs use your PFBvanish ingrown hair serum 3-4 times a week.
DO NOT shave in between wax appointments, as this will interrupt the process and stimulate the hair growth again.
DO NOT PICK YOUR INGROWN HAIRS AS THIS CAN CAUSE SCARING.

WHAT ARE EYELASH EXTENSIONS?

Eyelash Extensions are individual Synthetic material that are attached to your individually eyelashes; they are not attached to the skin.
Each synthetic lash is attached to an eyelash. It is a very enhancing beauty service and you DO NOT need to use any Mascara while wearing these Eyelash extensions. It is a very careful and intense service which requires skill and precision.
Once the eyelashes are applied they are so natural looking, it is difficult to tell (even up close) that you have extensions on.
Size availability ranges from short to long.

HOW LONG DO EYELASH EXTENSIONS LAST?

It is an individual process. We lose one Eyelash almost everyday. We also grow a new lash to replace the one that fell out.
These Lashes can stay on up to several months with proper care and maintenance. However, factors such as eye-lash growth, lifestyle and general aftercare will affect how long the lashes last. Please do not attempt to remove any lashes on your own, seek professional help from your technician. WE WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT YOU MAY CAUSE BY TRYING TO REMOVE THE EYELASH EXTENSIONS ON YOUR OWN.

DO FALSE LASH EXTENSIONS HARM NATURAL EYELASHES?

No, not at all! The Lash adhesive is formulated to create a solid bond, specifically for human lashes. The adhesive dries very soft on the lashes, allowing the lashes to stay flexible and bouncy just like your own lashes.

As your natural lashes fall out due to the growth cycle, you will need refills when new lashes grow. At first you may find you need a refill every 2 weeks. As you become accustomed to the extensions, with a little practice maintaining the lashes, the time between refills can be extended to 3-4 weeks.
