Contraindications for Eyelash Extensions:
- Allergies of any kind.
- Excessive tearing.
- Epilepsy.
- Psoriasis.
- Demodex infestation.
- Eye diseases.
- HIV.
- Cancer.
- Diabetes.
- Pregnancy.
- Tuberculosis.
- Syphilis.
- Illnesses (flu, cold, etc.).
- Psychological instability.

What can affect the duration of eyelash extension wear?
- Hormonal instability due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menstrual cycles – Hormones affect the condition of lashes and the process of their renewal.
- Taking antibiotics.
- Consuming alcohol.
- Eyelash tinting less than 3 days before eyelash extension, as the dye creates a film on the lash, and the adhesive doesn't adhere well to the lash's surface.
- Eyelash perm performed less than 3 weeks before eyelash extension.
- Oily eyelids and use of oil-based products. Oil gradually breaks down the adhesive properties. The adhesive doesn't immediately dissolve, but lash retention is significantly compromised.
- Eye hypersensitivity and consequent excessive tearing. If your eyes tear heavily during the procedure, it affects the crystallization of the adhesive and thus the lash retention duration.
The Common Types and Effects of Eyelash Extensions!
Effects of Eyelash Extensions (available in various curves, colors, lengths, and desired volume):
- Natural Effect: If you want a natural look, this is the best option. The natural effect gently outlines the shape of your eye and emphasizes its natural beauty while maintaining a harmonious appearance. This effect is versatile, looks great at any time of day, and suits various occasions.
- Cat Eye Effect: Longer lashes are attached to the outer corners of the eyes, shorter ones along the eyelids. With this effect, there's no need to draw an eyeliner, as the longer lashes visually elongate the outer corners.
- Mascara Effect: This type of eyelash extension is exceptional. Lashes of different sizes are applied across the entire eyelid, creating a spectacular multicolor look. A fantastic alternative to classic black lashes is using colored lashes. Such extensions look very unique and interesting. If you plan to wear these lashes daily, choose a color that complements your everyday makeup. This effect can also be achieved using rhinestones.
- Doll Eyes Effect: In this eyelash effect, the longest lashes are attached in the center of the eye, which opens it up. This effect is particularly suitable for almond-shaped eyes. With this effect, eyes can be optically enlarged.
Eyelash Curl for Extensions!
There are different types of eyelash curvatures:
- B (Slight Curve): This provides a natural look, but with a slightly stronger curve. Ideal for almond-shaped eyes.
- C (Medium Curve): The eyelashes are curved, opening up the eyes. A great option for those who usually use eyelash curlers and mascara.
- D (Slightly Stronger Curve): Best suited for close-set eyes, drooping upper eyelids, and downward-growing lashes. Helps conceal minor imperfections.
- M (Strong Curve): Gives the lashes length and volume. Downward-growing lashes will be less noticeable.
- L (Soft Curve): This curvature is not as pronounced as the previous one. However, it opens up the eyes and looks particularly good on drooping eyelids, providing a very natural look.
Care instructions for eyelash extensions!
To ensure the long-lasting beauty of your eyelash extensions and avoid spending extra money on salon visits, it's important to follow proper eye care rules after the extension procedure:
- Refrain from rubbing your eyes with your hands, a towel, or tissue for the first 24 hours after the procedure. Avoid getting your lashes wet during this time, as it's essential for the adhesive to fully dry.
- Avoid using mascara. Mascara removal products often contain oils that can weaken the adhesive and lead to lash detachment.
- Avoid sleeping face down on a pillow. This not only affects your eyelashes but also your skin in general.
- Avoid saunas and swimming pools.
- Do not attempt to remove or trim the extensions yourself. Doing so can create gaps in your lash line. To minimize damage to your natural lashes, have your extensions removed professionally at a cosmetic studio.
Care Instructions for the Customer
- For the first two hours after the treatment, avoid touching, rubbing, itching, or washing your face with hot water.
- Avoid using any makeup or mascara in the treated area for the first 24 hours.
- It's recommended to sleep on your back for the first 24 hours, ensuring your lashes don't come into contact with textiles like pillows or blankets.
- Exercise caution when inserting contact lenses immediately after the procedure. If possible, refrain from using them on the first day.
- Avoid saunas and hot water for 24 hours post-procedure. When removing makeup, use soft cotton pads or gentle sponges to prevent damaging or misshaping the lashes.
An eyelash lamination procedure should be done every six weeks.
How can I get lamination without damaging my lashes or brows?
Almost every client wonders if lamination is harmful to lashes and brows. Myths about the harmfulness of this treatment stem from poor experiences. The consequences of lamination can indeed be devastating if:
- The master incorrectly assesses the porosity, structure, and strength of the lashes.
- The wrong exposure time is chosen, or the master neglects the time and leaves the product on for too long.
- Low-quality products or expired products are used.
- The technique is not properly executed, such as using an improperly sized silicone pad or misaligning it.
Our master strictly follows the protocol during the treatment and avoids errors. They use only tested products. The benefits of lash lamination simplify your beauty routine for the entire duration of the results, typically lasting between five to seven weeks.
What are the specific aspects to consider with lamination?
- If desired, you can still use regular makeup without affecting the permanence of the effect. You can enhance the new lash or brow shape with mascara or eyeliner. However, it's important to remember that lamination does not withstand harsh mechanical stress.
- Post-treatment care is crucial in determining how long the results last. Keep the lashes away from water and steam in any form for the first 24 hours: avoid washing your face, or going to saunas, or swimming pools. Refrain from sports and tanning beds. These restrictions are lifted after 24 hours.
- Some women are accustomed to sleeping on their stomachs with their faces against the pillow, which can lead to deformations and bends in the curl.
In which cases should the procedure not be performed?
- Eye diseases (particularly during exacerbation), for instance, corneal inflammation or inflammation of the eye socket, other diseases, excessive tearing, or diseases in acute form like eyelid inflammation or styes.
- The use of hormone preparations for treating various illnesses. This is a time when lash lamination and lash extensions should be avoided.
- Recovery after eye surgery or blepharoplasty. It's best to wait at least 7 months after such procedures.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding. There are no studies confirming negative effects of the serum on fetal development. However, it's better not to experiment with the health of an unborn child. It's advisable to have lash lamination done after breastfeeding ends.
- If the lashes were previously treated with keratin, lash lamination will not last long.
