Eyelash Extensions
What Are Lash Extensions?
Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent fibres that are attached to your natural eyelashes in order to make your lash fringe look longer, fuller, and darker. Individual lash extensions are applied to each of your individual natural eyelashes (one extension per natural eyelash) using a semi-permanent glue. The material varies from studio to studio, but lash extensions can be made of synthetic, mink, faux mink, or silk fibres. Most studios offer a variety of extension lengths, curl patterns, and tints so clients can customise their look.
Types of Eyelash Extensions
Lash artists use three different kinds of eyelash extension materials: faux mink, silk, and synthetic. Within these three categories (mink, silk, and synthetic), there are varying degrees of length and curl to choose from. At Nubiabeautyy we provide different styles that are cater to your needs, you can choose classic, hybrid, Russian volume, mega volume and whispy sets. Whatever your requirements we are happy to tailor them to you.
What’s the application process?
“[Lash extensions] are carefully applied one at a time (typically 80-140 per eye) using a specially-formulated, semi-permanent glue that will not irritate or damage the natural lash,” says Richardson. “The lash is only applied to an existing lash, not to the skin.” While the exact process varies from salon to salon, here’s what you can expect:
- First, your therapist preps your eyes with eye pads and tape and cleans your eyelashes with a prep solution.
- Then, the lash is carefully glued in place according to your desired look.
- Lastly, your therapist combs your eyelashes to finish the look.
Let the talented eyelash artists at this salon give you fuller, lusher lashes.
