Why Eyelash Extensions?

Are you Fed up with applying mascara every morning? Do you curl them and still see no difference ? Or simply just not gifted with blush long natural eyelashes ? For a lot of women this is the case. Eyelash extensions are a simple but effective way to overcome these issues. Eyelash extensions can last up to six weeks with great aftercare, to maintain beautiful full lashes we advise to have them infilled every 3-4 weeks.

What are Eyelash Extensions?

Eyelash Extensions when applied correctly, are a safe and affective method of enhancing the natural beauty and shape of the eye. There are various methods when applying eyelash extensions, these being Classic individuals and Russian Volume. With each method, a healthy natural lash is isolated, a small amount of glue is applied to the extension and it is then is placed directly onto the base of the lash. Leaving around 0.1cm from the eyelid is vital to avoid contact, therefore minimising glue to skin contact.  

Selecting a Method…

There are various methods that can be adapted to suit each individual client, based on eye shape, condition of natural lashes and the desired look to be achieved.

  • Classic Individual 1-1 Method – Simply applying one eyelash extension to one of your natural lashes. This method can add curl and depth to lashes that are already gifted with quantity.
  • Russian Light Volume – This method uses finer eyelashes that are formed into handmade fans consisting of 2d 3d and 4d. This means each natural lash will hold between 2-4 eyelash extensions. Creating a fluffy look with extra volume. This is perfect for ladies that want added volume but have limited natural lashes.
  • Russian Mega Volume – Like the light volume method finer extensions are formed into handmade fans consisting of 5d, 6d and 7d. Again each natural lash will therefore hold between 5-7 eyelash extensions. This method achieves a more dramatic effect and is ideally for clients that have sustainable natural lashes for the added weight of the larger fans.
  • Hybrid Method – This application combines both Classic and Russian Volume methods. This can add depth slight increase in volume while still maintaining a subtle effect. Again this method is great for clients lacking quantity of natural lashes but want a classic effect.

Safety First…

Before commencing the treatment, It is important to speak with the lash technician about the desirable outcomes and what can be achieved. A free consultation can help to go over any queries the client may have, once decided eyelash extensions are right for you a patch test is required. This involves applying 3-4 eyelash extensions to the corner lashes in one or each eye. After this the client needs to wait 24-48 hours after the patch test before commencing treatment. This will enable the lash technician to see if any reaction to the products has been identified. Reactions can be very rare, but signs to look out for are, itching, redness around the eye and swelling. If this occurs it is vital to contact Simply Cosmetic to arrange removal of the eyelash extensions.
