Lashes and brows

Lashes and brows.
Technique, how long it lasts, aftercare.

Three techniques that often get mixed up, and the question of how long it all lasts. You’ll find both explained in detail here.

Techniques

Lift, 1:1
or volume.

The difference is bigger than the names suggest. If it’s your first time, a lift or 1:1 is the best place to start.

Lash lift

60 minutes, €69. Your own lashes are curled upward on a silicone pad, set with two solutions and then tinted. Nothing gets added, no glue, no extra hairs.

Lasts six to eight weeks, until the lashes have grown out. No infill possible or needed.

Ideal for long but straight lashes. With very short lashes you won’t see much effect, and we’ll tell you that beforehand.

1:1 extensions

120 minutes, €119. One artificial lash is glued onto each single natural lash. The length depends on what your own lash can carry, usually one to three millimeters more.

Infill every three to four weeks, €59 if it’s been up to three weeks.

Looks like your own lashes on a really good day. The technique for anyone who doesn’t want it to be obvious.

Volume technique

150 minutes, €149. Instead of a single lash, a handmade fan of two to five very fine lashes is applied. More fullness without weighing down the natural lash.

Infill every three to four weeks, same as with 1:1.

For thin or gappy lashes, and for anyone who likes a more noticeable look. It takes longer because every fan is made by hand.

How long it lasts

Why lashes
fall out.

Every natural lash has its own life cycle of about six to eight weeks. You lose between one and five lashes a day. That’s normal and was just the same before your extensions. You only notice it now because the artificial lash goes with it.

After three weeks, around forty percent have been replaced for most people. Hence the rhythm of three to four weeks. If you wait longer, the infill costs more, because we’re practically doing a new set.

What makes them come off sooner

Oil in cleansers and make-up removers, the most common reason
Rubbing, pulling and sleeping face down
Sauna, steam room and hot showers straight on the face
Waterproof mascara that only comes off with oil
Eyelash curlers, which break the glue

What helps? Clean them daily with a foam made for lash extensions and comb them through with the little brush afterwards. It sounds like more work than it is, and for most people it makes a difference of a week.

When we advise against it

We don’t treat with conjunctivitis, a stye or a known allergy to cyanoacrylate. With very sensitive eyes and heavy watering it often still works, it just takes longer.

If you wear contact lenses, take them out beforehand. If you can’t lie still for two hours, a lash lift is the better choice.

During pregnancy everything is possible, we just position you differently. After eye surgery we wait at least three months and check with your doctor first.

Dissolve, don’t pull

If you don’t want extensions anymore, come in to have them removed. 30 minutes, €25. We dissolve the glue with a remover, and your natural lashes stay intact.

Pulling them out yourself ruins your own lashes for months. Sadly we see it a lot.

Brows

Shape, color
and brow lift.

Brows frame the face. Small changes look bigger there than anywhere else, so we tend to hold back.

Shaping, 20 minutes, €18

Tweezers, thread or wax. Threading is precise and needs no heat, good for thin or irritated skin. Wax is quicker and makes sense when there are lots of small hairs.

At the first appointment we measure the shape against your face and deliberately take off less than we could. You can always take more off later. You can’t glue it back on.

Tinting, 30 minutes with shaping, €26

Plant-based or oxidation dye, roughly one shade lighter than your hair color. If you’ve never had them tinted, we start lighter. The color stays on the hairs for three to four weeks.

Before the first tint we do a patch test on your forearm, 48 hours ahead. It costs nothing and takes five minutes.

Brow lift, 45 minutes, €55

The hairs are set upright and brought into shape, much like a lash lift. Especially good for strong, unruly brows that grow in every direction.

Lasts about six weeks. Shaping and tinting are included. Keep them dry for 24 hours afterwards.

Henna brows, 45 minutes, €45

Henna colors not only the hairs but also the skin underneath. That makes gaps look filled in without anything looking drawn on.

Four weeks on the hairs, five to ten days on the skin. Not suitable for very oily skin, where it fades faster.

Aftercare

The first
48 hours.

24 hours dry

After extensions, a lash lift or a brow lift, please no water on your face, no steam, no sauna. The glue and the setting need that time.

Oil-free cleansing

Micellar water with oil, cleansing oil and many eye creams dissolve the glue. Use a foam made for lash extensions. One bottle lasts four months.

Comb daily

Run the little brush through once every morning. That stops the lashes from sticking together and growing back crooked.
