Preparation Before Your Eyelash Extension Procedure Begins

Our eyelash experts will clean your lashes and remove all eye makeup using oil free, mild, water based products. We use lint-free cloth as regular makeup remover pads can leave tiny fibres on your lashes and will increase the treatment time, as they have to be removed before application.

Please remove your contacts lens and any eye makeup such as eye shadow or mascara before the application of your extensions.

Caffeine can cause the eyelashes to flutter, which will then make the application process more difficult resulting to fewer lashes applied. Therefore, please limit or don’t take any caffeine products before the appointment.

It’s also important is to reduce your intake of liquids before your treatment appointment; this is to ensure you don’t need to use the bathroom during treatment as this disrupt the time allocated to apply the lash extension.

The procedure generally lasts between 1 hours to 2 hours. This gives ample time to also relax after your lash extensions are applied.

As the process begins, the stylist will ask various questions as part of your initial consultation. This is to help design your lash look and also understand your needs better. The stylist will also gather your medical background to ensure you have no health issues that could potentially affect you.

Then your stylist will ask you to lie down and recline with your eyes closed. A sticker will be applied to cover your lower eyelashes. The stylist then separates an individual natural lash, which will be bonded with one extension expertly. The eyelashes are never applied to your skin for safety. They are attached to your natural lash using safe and approved adhesives for fuller lash definition.

Eyelash Extensions are perfect for natural thin lashes that require volume and fullness and need a curl to lift and frame to your face and also those that need length.

Comprehensive Aftercare Guidance for Eyelash Extensions at Araya Beauty:

Immediate Post-Application Care (First 24 Hours):

• Avoid Water Exposure: Refrain from water exposure, including showers, saunas, and swimming, for the first 24 hours after getting eyelash extensions. This allows the adhesive to fully cure and ensures the longevity of the extensions.
• Gentle Touch: Avoid touching or rubbing your eyelashes to prevent premature shedding and maintain the adhesive bond.
• No Eye Makeup: Steer clear of eye makeup, especially mascara, during the initial 24 hours. This prevents interference with the adhesive and promotes better retention.
• 
  

Daily Care (After the First 24 Hours):

• Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse your eyelashes daily using a specially formulated lash cleanser or a mild, oil-free cleanser. Gently brush through the lashes with a spoolie to remove any residue.
• Be Mindful of Products: Avoid oil-based or waterproof makeup products, as these can weaken the adhesive bond and cause premature lash extension loss.
• Sleep on Your Back: If possible, sleep on your back to minimize friction and pressure on the lashes, preserving their longevity.
• Brush Regularly: Use a clean mascara wand or a spoolie to brush through your lashes daily, keeping them untangled and well-distributed.
• 
  

Long-Term Care (Beyond the First Week):

• Eyelash Extension Refills: Schedule regular refill appointments every 2-3 weeks to maintain a full and luscious look. Refills are crucial for replacing any shed extensions and keeping your lashes looking flawless.
• Avoid Mechanical Curlers: Refrain from using mechanical lash curlers, as these can damage both the extensions and your natural lashes. The extensions are pre-curved during application.
• Protect from Heat: Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat, such as from ovens or hot hair dryers, as excessive heat can weaken the adhesive bond.
• Be Gentle with Makeup Removal: When removing eye makeup, use a gentle, oil-free makeup remover and a cotton pad. Avoid rubbing or pulling on the lashes.
