Eyelash extensions are a way to extend the length and thickness of your natural lashes. Not to be confused with self-stick strip false lashes or individual clusters of lashes knotted together that are a single-event accessory, our semi-permanent extensions are adhered one by one onto the natural lashes using a specially formulated adhesive that lasts a number of weeks.
Our extensions are very comfortable to wear and are so lightweight that you won’t even be able to feel you are wearing them. The look and feel is completely natural looking and real – every one will just think you were born with beautiful, long lashes!
Eyelash extensions are applied while you are lying down with your eyes closed on a comfy beauty bed for between 1 – 2 hours. After cleansing and priming your lashes, your bottom lashes are protected with eye pads and then lash extensions are applied one by one with medical-grade eyelash extension adhesive. A single natural eyelash is isolated and a synthetic lash is glued to the top of your own natural eyelash approximately 1mm from the eyelid, so neither the glue or the lash has contact with the skin. It is a very relaxing, non-invasive procedure and many clients fall asleep!
Russian volume is a specialised technique where between 2 – 6 super fine and lightweight lash extensions, handmade into a fan on the spot, are applied on to each natural lash. This creates a fuller and fluffier look than classic lashes which is great if you have naturally sparse lashes or prefer a more glamorous look. Choose from 2-3D (natural look) or 4-6D (glamorous look).

Mega volume lashes give the most dramatic look possible, with between 9 – 15 extremely fine lashes being applied in a fan on to each natural lash, creating a very dark and full look. The lashes used are even finer than regular volume lashes which means they still feel lightweight and it is safe to apply up to 15 on to one natural lash.

One extension is applied to each one of your natural lashes, extending the length and appearance of your eyelashes. Classic lashes are suitable for clients who have a good amount of natural lashes, and desire a natural/medium effect.

Hybrid Full Set is a 50/50 mix of Classic & Volume application. Hybrid lashes are versatile in offering a thicker, denser look than classic lashes, but without the uniformity and softness of a typical volume set.

Book this service before your lash extension appointment if you have makeup build up on your lashes. Residual oils and makeup will prevent the adhesive from properly bonding and will cause your extensions to fall off prematurely. It is imperative that your lashes are squeaky clean before extensions are applied. Don’t take precious time away from your fill appointment with cleaning!
We pride ourselves on styling to offer our clients their own bespoke look. We do this by assessing the client’s eye and face shape to create their perfect style, while carefully selecting suitable lengths and thicknesses of extensions in order not to harm the natural lashes.
Eyelash adhesive takes 24 hours to completely dry, so the first 24 hours are the most important time to ensure that your lashes will last.
Do not get your extensions wet.
– Exposing your new extensions to any moisture, including steam (e.g. hot steamy shower, sauna, jacuzzi, facial steamer, hot steam when opening an oven door), will cause your extensions to fall out prematurely.
Do not use sunbeds.
Don’t wear mascara on your extensions
Wearing mascara on your extensions will cause them to fall out prematurely. Also if you have volume lashes, applying mascara will cause the volume fans to close and they will lose their fullness and resemble classic lashes. The beauty of eyelash extensions is that there is no need to wear mascara! If you want to wear mascara on your lower lashes make sure it is non-waterproof.
Wash your extensions
Washing your extensions a few times a week helps to keep them looking fresh and last longer. It’s super easy and only takes a minute.
Here’s how:
Pump a gentle foaming lash cleanser (which can be purchased at our salon) on to the cleansing brush that comes inside the box.
Gently work the foam into the lashes.
Rinse with water.
Pat eyes dry.
Brush your lashes with a mascara wand to make them neat and fluffy again.
Oil breaks down eyelash extension glue. Therefore keep oil-based products away from your extensions and limit the use of oily products on your face.
Use oil-free eye make-up remover.
Brush your extensions daily to keep them looking neat.
Do not pick or pull your extensions as this will pull your natural lashes out.
Do not rub your eyes.
Avoid sleeping on your face.
Choose a felt tip or pencil eyeliner rather than liquid or gel.
When removing make-up with anything other than foaming lash cleanser, work around your lashes and don’t wipe over them.
