How to Prepare for Your Lash Extensions Appointment – What to Expect

Eyelash extensions can completely transform your look. With fuller and longer lashes, there's no need for mascara or falsies. Whether it's your very first time or you've had extensions before, a little preparation before your appointment makes a big difference. It helps your extensions last longer, look more beautiful and ensures you feel calm and comfortable on the day of your treatment.

Before Your Appointment

The most important thing is to arrive with clean, makeup-free lashes. Avoid mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow and oil-based makeup removers – these can interfere with the adhesive. If you normally use waterproof products, it's best to leave them aside at least a day before. Straight, natural lashes are the perfect base for extensions, so put your lash curler away as well.

If you wear contact lenses, it's a good idea to remove them before your appointment so your eyes won't get dry or irritated while they are closed. Since a full lash appointment can take anywhere from 90 minutes to 2 hours, comfortable clothing is recommended – many of our clients even enjoy a nap during the process. A small tip: avoid coffee or energy drinks right before your appointment. Caffeine can cause your eyelids to flutter, which makes the application more difficult.

During the Appointment

Every lash appointment starts with a short consultation. We'll talk through your wishes and select the style that suits you best. This includes choosing the length, curl and technique: classic, soft classic, volume or hybrid. Many clients prefer a natural look with classic or soft classic extensions, while others want the fuller drama of volume. Whatever your style, the lashes are always customized to enhance your own features.

Before the application begins, your lashes are carefully cleaned and protective pads are placed under your eyes. Then you can simply relax. Each extension is applied individually to your own lash with precision and care – this is delicate, detailed work that requires patience. It's your time to rest, and for many clients, lash appointments become a cherished moment of calm in a busy week.

After the Appointment

When the lashes are ready, we check that they sit perfectly and look balanced. We gently brush them through and give you clear aftercare instructions. The basics are simple: wash your lashes daily with an oil-free cleanser, brush them lightly with a clean spoolie and avoid oil-based products or mascara. This way, your lashes will stay beautiful for weeks.

Final Thoughts

The purpose of lash extensions is not to cover you up, but to highlight your natural beauty and make everyday life easier. By coming to your appointment with clean lashes and letting your lash artist work with care, you'll leave with a look that is light, natural and perfectly your own.
