Nervous About Your First Lightweight Lash Extensions? Here’s What to Expect image

It's perfectly normal to feel a bit anxious before your first lightweight lash extensions appointment. Many of our first-timers come in nervous about the process, but our welcoming team ensures everyone feels comfortable right from the start. You'll discover just how straightforward the experience can be. We’ll cover preparation tips, what to expect during the session, and how to care for your new lashes afterward.

Preparing for Your First Appointment

To feel ready for your first visit, we recommend arriving with clean, makeup-free eyes. Clear any makeup before your appointment, as it allows for the best bond with your extensions. You might also want to wear comfortable clothing, as you will be lying down for about an hour. Feel free to communicate any concerns or preferences with your specialist, understanding your ideal look is essential for us.

What to Expect During Your Session

When you arrive, we’ll take a little time to discuss your style preferences. After you’re settled in, we'll begin by placing under-eye pads to protect your skin while we work on your lashes. Expect to feel relaxed as your specialist applies each lightweight cashmere lash individually. Each step takes about 15-20 minutes, ensuring precision for a natural yet enhanced look. Many clients tell us they didn't feel any discomfort at all, with one saying,

"I was nervous but felt so at home during the whole process!"
. The session typically lasts around 60 minutes.

Aftercare to Maintain Your Lashes

Right after your appointment, it’s common to notice your lashes looking fuller and darker. For aftercare, we generally recommend avoiding water and steam for the first 24 hours to allow the adhesive to fully bond. To prolong lash health, please refrain from using oil-based products around the eyes. Many clients prefer to come back for a fill every 2-3 weeks to keep their lashes looking fresh.
