So people seem to still have lots of questions on eyelash extensions and so I thought I would do another blog to provide more information.
First of all, if someone is charging less than $100 for a full dramatic set of lashes, they are probably not using good lashes. They also probably did not pay a lot for training. You can take a 3 hour course, or a 3 day and the difference is that in 3 days you learn everything about the health and safety, proper disinfecting, where exactly to attach the lashes etc. In 3 hours, you basically learn how to get by to call yourself a lash technician. Yes, I am taking the three day course, and have had to watch videos daily to get prepared. It is a lot of work!
Here is a breakdown of pricing by timing (and my prices are way lower then I should be as I am just starting out).
This is for Single lashes (explained in past blogs)
Natural Look: From 60 to 140 Lashes and takes from 1hr 20-2hr 15, my prices are from $75-$120 for this. They last from 2- 3 months with a refill needed after about 2 weeks.
Fuller Look: From 160-200 Lashes and takes from 2hr15 to 2h45 mins and my prices are from $140-$180
Extreme Movie Star look: From 220-260 lashes and takes up to four hours and prices are from $220-$250
SEMI LASHES ONLY $75.00!!!
MYTHS ABOUT EYELASH EXTENSIONS!
MYTH: Eyelash extensions make your natural lashes fall out
FACT: Your eyelashes are constantly growing and shedding, just like the hair on your head. An eyelash has a finite life of 60-90 days. They are supposed to fall out. Since they are at different stages of the growth cycle, most people lose 1-3 natural lashes per day on average and never notice it because lashes are so small. Properly applied eyelash extensions do not affect this natural growth cycle but you may notice the shedding more than before because your lashes are darker and thicker with the extensions attached.
MYTH: When my eyelash extensions came out, my natural lashes came with them.
FACT: In actuality, the reverse is happening: when your natural lashes grew out, they took the extensions with THEM! If good adhesive is used and proper technique is applied, eyelash extensions are designed to stay adhered to the natural lash until it grows out. If you are seeing eyelash extension shedding and your natural lash ISN’T still attached to the extension, you are losing your extensions prematurely and should consult with your stylist as to the cause.
MYTH: Eyelash extensions hurt.
FACT: If eyelash extensions are applied properly, you shouldn’t feel anything at all. If your eyelash extensions are hurting, something is wrong with your lash application. Read our post on eyelash extensions pain.
MYTH: I had eyelash extensions for a while and after I had them removed, my natural lashes were shorter.
FACT: Properly applied eyelash extensions do not affect the growth of natural lashes before, during or after application. Most people get used to how they look with their eyelash extensions on, though. When their extensions are gone, their natural lashes SEEM so much smaller and thinner because they aren’t used to seeing them bare. It’s a case of perception overriding reality. If you actually measure your lashes before and after, you would find no change.
Remember – the application of eyelash extensions is a highly skilled craft and should only be attempted by trained professionals. Always ask to see proof of training before you let anyone work on your eyes!
