Keeping Your Lashes Beautiful
Proper aftercare is essential for long-lasting, beautiful lash extensions. With the right care routine, your lashes can last 6-8 weeks with regular fills every 2-3 weeks.
Before Your Appointment: Arrive with clean, makeup-free lashes. Avoid caffeine 1-2 hours before to prevent eye fluttering during application.
Pro Tip: Invest in a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and extend the life of your extensions. Sleep on your back when possible.
First 24-48 Hours
Keep lashes completely dry. Avoid steam, saunas, swimming, and excessive sweating to allow adhesive to cure.
Daily Cleaning
Clean lashes daily with lash-safe cleanser using gentle, downward motions. Gently brush with spoolie when dry.
What to Avoid
No oil-based products, mascara on extensions, rubbing eyes, or sleeping face-down on your pillow.
Maintenance
Schedule fills every 2-3 weeks to maintain fullness and appearance. Regular fills extend the life of your set.

Questions
Aftercare FAQs
Common questions about caring for your lashes, brows, and PMU
Yes! Avoid oil-based makeup and mascara on the extensions. Use oil-free makeup remover and be gentle when cleansing around the eyes.
Clean your lashes daily with a lash-safe cleanser to remove oils, dirt, and makeup. This prevents buildup and extends the life of your extensions.
Wait 24-48 hours before getting your lashes wet to allow the adhesive to fully cure. After that, gentle water exposure is fine.
Keep the PMU area completely dry for 7-10 days during initial healing. Avoid swimming, saunas, and excessive sweating for the full healing period.
Picking or scratching can cause scarring, uneven color, and poor retention. Let the area heal naturally and flake off on its own.
