One thing that is often asked is why are they so expensive? "Can't I just go get a $20 eyelash job at my corner nail salon?" Well, I suppose you could, and judging from what I've seen from lesser priced establishments, the question should really be why are they so cheap? Are they licensed and trained to perform a delicate procedure on your eyelids? Are they using safe and effective products? How many days can you expect them to last?
Most bargain-priced eyelash jobs last anywhere from a few days to a week. Typically they are using the same false eyelashes you can buy at a drugstore with the same temporary glue you can apply on your own. I've even seen some jobs where the eyelashes were applied with hair glue which is sticky and rubbery and very obviously visible and unattractive in my professional opinion.
At Skin Essentials I use only NovaLash adhesive.
| NovaLash is the ONLY lash extension product that is: |
 |
| •AEWCA-approved •American made – Pharmaceutical grade •Physician-formulated •Made in the USA in accordance with FDA recommendations for formaldehyde content |
| Most of the leading brands of lash extension adhesives tested by the AEWCA were found to contain toxic and carcinogenic irritants such as formaldehyde. Many untested industrial-grade adhesives (commonly used in auto manufacturing) enter the US and European market through China and Korea. These Asian-produced adhesives are branded in the US and marketed as "American" brands. |
|
| Because the eye area is one of the most sensitive parts of the body, the NovaLash team of physicians and scientists formulated the first formaldehyde-free, medical-grade lash extension adhesive (patent pending). Their adhesive is manufactured and delivered free of formaldehyde as confirmed by testing under EPA method TO-11A/8315HPLC-UV. |

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Eyelash Extensions?
Eyelash Extensions are a totally new way to extend the length and thickness of your eyelashes. They are applied on a hair-by-hair basis to your own lashes for a totally natural look. All you have to do is close your eyes and relax. When you open them you’ll have gorgeous, natural looking, long eyelashes!
How long do they last?
When properly applied, lashes can last up to two months or more. Touch-ups are recommended after initial full set application to replace any lashes that might have fallen off. For best results touch-ups are recommended every two weeks. For extra-thick extensions or for long-term wear (more than three months) use of an eyelash conditioner product is recommended to keep your lashes extra healthy and strong.
How do I care for my Lash Extensions?
Avoid getting your eyelashes wet for the first 24 hours after the application. This allows the glue to set.
Care must be taken not to rub eyes, or scratch. It is very important not pull on your eyelash extensions as this can result in loosing your natural eyelash.
Only use water based products on the eye area, any creams, eye makeup removers, lotions, or cleansers containing oils can loosen the bond of the adhesive.
Regular touch-ups are the best way to care for your lashes. These appointments allow the lashes to be carefully cleaned and more lashes to be applied to keep a fresh, full look.
Can I add mascara to Lash Extensions?
Use of mascara on your extensions may shorten their life-span. You may however wear mascara on your bottom eyelashes
How much do Lashes cost?
The initial application of your eyelashes is $250 and can take up to 2 hours.
Touch-ups every two-weeks are $45 and last up to 45 minutes. Extended touch-ups beyond a two-week period start at $60
Never attempt to remove eyelash extensions yourself. Removal of extensions is free of charge.
For the lashes nature should have given you…
Professional training and experience make all the difference!
