So a big, expensive, thing going on right now is eyelash extensions. Now I know I am a little late to try this out. But I did it anyway. And if you don't already know what eyelash extensions are or how they work, I'll do my best to explain. But please note I am NOT an eyelash technician, so, if you have any questions, I can try to answer them, but it would be best to talk to a professional.What are they?
Eyelash extensions, are much like extensions you were to put in your hair. They extend in length your natural lashes by putting an extension on it. They can also add volume and curl. So, long story short, the name explains it, they are eyelash extensions. Which also means you have to already have natural lashes.
How long do they take to put on?
The procedure itself is completely dependent on who you go to, how much practice they have, and their level of training. Also, the time it takes can depend on you, and how many natural lashes you have.
Another factor is some technicians do different "sets". The two most common are natural and volume. Natural is much less eyelashes on the eye, where as volume lashes there is plenty more.
Typically for a new set they take an hour and a half.
Mine ended up taking two and a half. Which was due to my abundance of natural lashes and getting a fuller set.
How are they put on?
The procedure of how they are put on seems relatively simple, in terms of steps. First they clean your eyes, than add a primer, following that they will choose the extensions dependent on the look you're seeking. You MUST have your eyes closed for the amount of times it takes, because the fumes from the glue can irritate your eyes if in direct contact. Next you fall asleep, which you may think is impossible when someone is poking at your eyes, but its very possible. I did it easily. The technician will than begin the process of separating one for your natural eyelashes from the rest. She then takes the extension, puts a very VERY small amount of glue, and she then will put it on top of your eyelash. She will then keep the eyelash separated from the rest for a little bit longer. This all continues till every eyelash, in my case, has an extension on it.How much do they cost?
The cost... this is the big question. And the reason I took so long to get them. Where I live, they can cost anywhere between $50-$200+. They say you have to go with the higher price range to get a better set, the technician I went to normally charges somewhere in the middle. I was lucky enough to book an appointment on Black Friday and got 50% off.
So I only got my eyelashes done last night, but so far I have had no pain, no problems and no concerns. All I have to say are good things.
The picture I will have attached to this post are my lashes with extensions on them.
If you have any questions I'll try my best to answer them.
Thank you and enjoy!
