A single extension is applied very carefully using specially designed tweezers to a single eyelash using a premium medical grade low fume Eyelash adhesive. The lash is placed close to (without touching the lash line) leaving the eyelashes and eyelids to move freely. The whole process normally takes 2-2.5hrs depending on the style and how many lashes are applied. Infills take 1-1.5hrs.
If you would like to add more time in your day and wake up looking instantly refreshed and polished, then yes! Not only do lashes extensions look and feel natural, it will no longer be necessary to apply mascara or use an eyelash curler. Your eyes look more defined and bold. Many of our clients tend to wear less make up with their lashes extensions, meaning you’ll save time applying makeup, while still being able to shower, swim and perform all of your regular activities as normal. Our lash sets are hypoallergenic, cruelty-free as well as pain-free.
How long do Eyelash Extensions last?
Your lash extension should naturally shed alongside your natural lashes. An infill is required around 3 weeks to fill the gaps & maintain the fullness. Some clients may need to come in at 2 weeks depending on many factors such as general lifestyle, your daily cleansing routine, skin type, average lash growth cycle and the type of makeup products you use.
Is there a difference between Eyelash Extensions and Strip Lashes?
Eyelash extensions are placed carefully onto each eyelash using a premium medical grade low fume adhesive, whereas, false eyelashes are usually solid strips of lashes that are adhered to the eyelid using temporary lash glue. As a result, strip lashes need to be removed and re-applied daily and extensions can last weeks.
How safe are eyelash extensions? Will they ruin my natural lashes?
The biggest myth is that eyelash extensions ruin your natural lashes. Although this can be the case when lash artists are inexperienced or skip corners, I take the time & care required to safely apply each lash to a single natural lash. It’s a completely safe and pain-free procedure because your eyes remain closed throughout the entire procedure, my technique is gentle & I only use the best products that will suit/not damage your natural lashes!
Eyelash extensions are suitable for women of all backgrounds and ages, regardless of their busy work schedules or super mums. Our regular clients like to be ready for busy schedules without having to spend a lot of time doing their lashes. In some cases, some clients are not good candidates for lashes, therefore, a thorough consultation is completed before your procedure. Below are some instances where eyelash extensions may not be suitable for you :
If you’ve had an allergic reaction to gel pads or the adhesive used to apply eyelash extensions
You have an infection or any condition that affects your eyes/or lashes in the way
You recently had cosmetic surgery or treatment such as eyeliner tattoos, lash perms or laser surgery. Eg: blepharoplasty surgery( must wait a minimum of 1 year after your surgery)
You can’t lie on your back for extended periods due to injury or other reasons
Your eyes are sensitive/or prone to redness, swelling, itching, and watering
You can’t keep your eyes still and completely closed for any reason
You have unrealistic expectations regarding eyelash extensions – it’s important to remember that the length and thickness of extensions used will be limited to the strength of your natural lashes.
Have very little natural eyelashes or have nothing. It’s very difficult (if not impossible) to apply extensions because there is nowhere to apply them too
Have pre-existing eyelid conditions such as chronic dry eyes, blepharitis, conjunctivitis and Ocular rosacea
Have Trichotillomania (compulsive pulling or twisting hair, eyebrows and eyelashes)
Have very sensitive eyes or possible allergies to adhesive (recommended to book an appointment for a patch test)
In chlorinated water frequently (recommend wearing goggles to protect your lashes)
Those who are rough with their lashes
Have difficulty following aftercare instructions or do not care to follow them
Have extremely curly eyelashes.
Had blepharoplasty surgery (must wait a minimum of one year after your surgery)

Absolutely! If for any reason you need your lash extensions removed, I can quickly and painlessly remove your lashes using our specially formulated adhesive remover. The process usually takes less than 30 minutes. Please do not attempt to remove them on your own as this can cause damage to your natural lash. If you've lashes applied elsewhere, depending on the state of them, the removal may take longer.
Your whole appointment will include your consultation, evaluating and discussing your perfect set of lashes, and performing the procedure. I am very thorough and quite a perfectionist, which always helps in this industry! The whole process normally takes 2-2.5 hours depending on the style and how many lashes are applied. Infills take 1-1.5 hours.
A consultation before your treatment will allow me to determine which style of lashes is best for you, however, you will need to consider your lifestyle and a few other deciding factors. Factors can include whether they are being applied for a once-off occasion or everyday use. Your daily routine, natural lashes, budgets & time you have available are all deciding factors.
Please come with no makeup on our around the eye area. Lash tinting may be done a minimum of 2 days before your appointment. Do not use eyelash curlers on the day as it will affect the application. If you have recently had a lash lift, you'll need to wait 6 weeks before getting a set applied. Avoid drinking caffeine on the day and make sure to shower, workout, and wash your hair before your session as you need to keep your lashes dry for the first 24 hours after your application.
Avoid sweating including exercise for 24 hours after application
Avoid all forms of extreme humidity for 48 hours, such as saunas, steam facials, and even hot baths & showers
Do not rub your eyes, pull on the extensions or sleep face down on them
Do not use eyelash curlers or perm your lash extensions
Use oil-free cleansing and foaming products directly on the lash area to remove makeup.
Cleanse your lashes daily using our professional lash cleanser. This will ensure a clean lash line, promoting new lash growth.
Brush your lashes gently with the supplied lash brush to fluff them up and keep them neat
Avoid using cotton tips of boards around the eyes, as the lint will get caught in your extensions
Have an infill performed every 2 to 3 weeks to maintain their fullness
Yes – I only use high-quality premium medical-grade eyelash adhesive. Which is specially formulated for the eyes whilst also being long-lasting. The extensions used are available in all sorts of lengths, curves, and thicknesses, customised to perfectly suit you. The majority of the equipment is disposed of after each client, and all tools are disinfected after each use.
Due to occupational health and safety standards, children are not permitted in the procedure room at any time. We do not want to compromise on the quality of your procedure as It interferes with decision-making and transmitting/interpreting important consultation information by having others in the room, so we kindly ask that you attend your appointment alone.
