Your Guide To Eyelash Extensions
Curious about lash extensions? Lucky you, we’ve crafted a guide that takes you through commons questions, our custom design process, aftercare and MORE!
Behind The Lashes
Ever wondered how lash extensions look so lush? At The Lash Lounge, we use extensions made from a premium synthetic polyester blend that go under a double heat-roll process for a long-lasting curl. Our stylists meticulously apply each individual extension to your natural lashes to craft a flawless finish.
How Long Does Getting Lash Extensions Take?
First time getting extensions? Your full set appointment will last about 2–3 hours, depending on the application method and lash level you choose. Refills on the other hand will take about an hour!
How Long Do Lash Extensions Last?
After your full set, we recommend a refill every 2 weeks to keep them full and fluffed!
