Lash Extensions

Do Lash Extensions damage your own lashes? They can do if not applied correctly, I NEVER put synthetic mink or silk lashes on ‘baby’ lashes, the weight of these lashes can cause damage to you own lashes, they are just too heavy. I leave these lashes allowing them to mature before an extension is placed on them, so the next time you visit for in fills these lashes should be ready to take the extensions and in the meantime new baby lashes would have grown through where your older lashes had dropped out with your usual lash cycle. Working with you own lash cycle is the best way to keep your lashes in good condition.

There have been reports online and in the press about damage caused by lash extensions. These reports are mainly due to inexperienced technicians that do not have the experience of several hundred procedures of eyelash extensions behind them and have not trained to a master technician level.

Ideally the best way to find a reputable technician is through recommendation, checking out their qualifications and asking to see their portfolio of eyelash extensions they have actually completed and not just images of stock photos.

Any good technician will take time to complete a consulting session with you beforehand and be happy to answer any questions that you may have.

Is there any difference between the different brands of lash extensions such as Nouveau Lashes, Jinny Lashes, Lash perfect etc?

There are minor differences, I trained in Nouveau lashes to the master level but the main factor in ensuring a good set of eyelash extensions is down to the skill of the technician and not the brand.

Can eyelash extensions be placed on the bottom lashes?

Eyelash extensions can be placed on the bottom lashes and I have performed this procedure before. However I do not usually recommend bottom extensions as it needs to be performed with the eyes open.

There are also other things to consider about bottom lash extensions in that they do not last as long as the top lashes and it incurs an extra cost which is not necessary. I usually recommend a water based mascara to be used on the bottom lashes to give a more balanced look. It’s also cheaper!
