F.A.Q. about lash extensions...
How long do they last?
Your lash extensions can last up to 10 weeks depending on the growth cycle of your natural eyelashes. The growth cycle consists of three stages; growing phase, resting phase, and the shedding phase. Because natural eyelashes shed and replace themselves on their own, regular touch-ups are usually recommended to replace any strays that have fallen out during this growth cycle. The life span of an eyelash varies by individual, anywhere from 2 to three months, but for maximum results, regular touch-ups (recommended every 2-3 weeks) will provide optimal results. With good maintenance programs, many clients keep their extensions for years.
