FAQs - EyeLashes

No. Your lashes have a cycle. Most people will have completely new eyelashes 60 days from now. Every eyelash will have fallen out and began to re grow. This happens in such a way that we don't even notice it. The lash extensions are only applied to existing lashes. They will not affect your eyelash growth. 

Some people may think their lashes look thinner after their extensions come off. This is most likely because they have gotten used to have thick, long, glamorous lashes. In reality, if you choose to let them come off naturally, wait a couple months for the cycle to complete naturally. 

No. It is safe and it will not be in your eyes. Your eyes will be shut during the application process. 

This is dependent upon your natural growth cycle and your maintenance of the lash extensions. (I have gotten mine filled every three weeks for 5 years now. Admittedly, I do not do a great job at maintaining them. All you need to do to maintain them is brush them, but I never do.) Still, three weeks is plenty of fill for me. 

But keep in mind - If you get them filled every three weeks, you will have a lot fewer lash extensions for the final days before they are filled. If you are extremely particular, you may want to get them filled every 2 weeks. 

Some people, may only need a fill every month or even less often. 

It certainly has mattered for me. Lashed by Kris is the only brand that I have found to be painless, last longer and not irritate my eyes. After trying Lashed by Kris, I would never try another brand. 

 Yes. Do research and go to someone you trust. 

Yes, but we suggest you use Lashed by Kris Clear Coat mascara to protect the integrity of your eyelash extensions. If you do not use Lashed by Kris Clear Coat mascara, only consider using a water based mascara. Do NOT use oil-based or waterproof mascara. Moreover, when applying safe mascara, start at the middle of the lash and move upward. Avoid starting your application near the base of your lashes to avoid pulling on your lash extensions. 

Of course! I wouldn’t have them if you couldn’t swim or shower! 

 I found a way to wipe water from my eyes in the shower without rubbing my eyes. I have found this to be extremely helpful in maintaining my lashes. I also swim often with my eyelash extensions on. 

No, I wouldn’t. And, you shouldn’t need to. Curl that lasts is part of the reason you get extensions in the first place. If you don’t think your lashes are curly enough, give me a call. 

 You come into the office.  I will answer any questions you have and we will talk about how you would like your lashes to look and feel. Once we have a game plan, you will lie on your back on our massage bed with pillows at your knees and head. (They are not necessary if you’d prefer not to have them.) You will close your eyes. I will put eye pads down to keep your bottom lashes from interfering. I will use clean tools to apply individual lash extensions to each of your natural eyelashes individually. If you are receiving a full set, it should take about two (2) hours. If you are getting a fill, it should be much quicker. Most clients find it so relaxing that they often fall asleep. 

Volume Lashes are 2-8 individual ultra lightweight lashes placed on a natural eyelash in the shape of a fan. Classic is one extension per natural lash. Volume lashes are NOT clusters. Clusters are pre-made and have a thick base which causes discomfort and is only designed for short term use (usually less than one day). Volume Lashes are hand made, high quality fans made by your technician during your application to provide the truly unique and custom look that you’re striving for. They are even more durable and last even longer than the classics. 

Don’t worry - I will give you aftercare instructions when you come in. 

If using Kris Clear Coat mascara, avoid the root area. 

Do not use an eyelash curler. 

Brush your lashes daily. This is the most important aftercare practice. Plus, it will help them look even prettier. 

Only use Lashed by Kris Lash Bath or water-based makeup remover. Do not use oil-based makeup remover. 

Do not rub your eyes.

Do not pull on your eyelash extensions.
