Finally ready to try lash extensions for the first time? Or just need a refresher? Here are the most important ways to prepare for your appointment!
It's a must to know how to have a comfortable experience! Below, I have the 5 most important tips for preparing for your lash extension appointment.
#5. Come With Clean Face
Before your appointment, ensure that you remove any makeup applied near or on your eyes. This is because lash extensions can only attach to clean, natural lashes.
Additionally, it is recommended that you avoid wearing strip lashes a day or two before your lash appointment to prevent stubborn lash glue.
Coming to your appointment with a clean lash line, not only will it make your lash artist happy, but it will also help ensure a smooth appointment.
#4. Use The Bathroom
Do you tend to drink a lot of water or dislike the need to use the restroom while sleeping?
When having a lash appointment, it's best to go before to avoid any disruptions during the application.
Your lash technician will have to pause the session if you need to use the restroom, which could make the appointment longer than planned and disturb your relaxation time.
Come a couple of minutes early if needed :)
#3. Avoid Caffeine
Are you a coffee lover?
If so, be aware that consuming too much caffeine can cause jitters and even make your eyes flutter. This can be quite unpleasant, especially if you're trying to relax during an appointment.
To avoid this, it's best to avoid coffee and energy drinks a few hours before your appointment.
#2. Know Your Desired Look
Come across a style that you like?! Screenshot it and show your lash artist!
We all know there are many options out there to choose from, so we recommend narrowing down your favorites to two.
TIP: Find a photo you like by searching "lash mappings" That way your lash tech can use the exact lengths.
#1. Wear Comfy Clothes - Hairstyles
It is important to wear comfortable clothes during the 1-3 hour session of lying down.
Important Tip
Here are three hairstyles that you should avoid: high buns, low ponytails, and low buns.
Remember to consider this when scheduling hair appointments.
