Information For Customers Who Are Getting Eyelash Extensions In Long Island

By Deanne Shepard


Most women want their eyelashes to appear longer, thicker, and fuller, as this is considered to be the ideal. Today one of the most popular ways to achieve this look is to have eyelash extensions. This procedure involves adhering hairlike fibers to the natural lashes with a special glue, the results are quite dramatic and it can last for weeks. When looking for eyelash extensions in Long Island, those who are new to this process will find the following information helpful.

Some women think false eyelashes worn over their own look fake and fall off too easily, or they are sick of using mascara which can clump and run, so this is the perfect solution for more beautiful eyelashes. Extensions look more natural and are fairly easy to maintain. Most often the fibers used are synthetic, but sometimes natural ones may be used instead. The best quality adhesive is formaldehyde-free and of USP grade.

Special training is required to be able to apply lash extensions, so it necessary for clients to make sure they only hire a "Certified Eyelash Extension Specialist". These professional technicians have earned this title by successfully passing an instructional course which teaches students how to master this technique.

The two kinds of extensions are "temporary" and "semi-permanent", they differ in how long they last. Temporary lashes are most commonly applied for a special, one-time occasion such as a wedding or prom. The glue used in this case isn't waterproof so it can't be worn in the shower or left on overnight. They can be made from either a synthetic fiber much like human hair called "keraspecific fiber" or from natural hair.

Most customers opt for semi-permanent lashes, as these can be left in place for several days or even as long as a few weeks in some cases. The adhesive used to secure each fiber to every natural lash is a waterproof formula which can safely be worn in the shower or pool. As a precaution, it's still recommended to wait several hours after they are applied before washing the face, and one should not use oily products around the eyes.

There is large choice of different colors, thicknesses, and lengths of these lashes which clients can choose from. Natural lash colors will create a realistic look, and there are also bold and vivid shades for those who want a more unique appearance. Lengths can vary between 5 and 15 millimeters and lash thickness ranges between 0.25 to about 2.0 millimeters. A full set of lashes usually consists of 30 to 60 individual fibers.

It can take up to two hours for a full set of lashes to be applied. It's important to not wear contacts or any eye makeup while having the lashes placed. The procedure is not painful and is completed while the customer lays back comfortably and relaxes. Most people find that they don't need to wear mascara with extensions, but if they want to, the technician will recommend which types they can use.

Most women who get extensions are very happy with the results, but in some cases it is not the best approach. If a person has eyes that frequently get irritated from rhinitis or allergies, super-sensitive skin, or very curly or almost non-existent natural lashes this procedure is not a good idea, since the lashes may not attach easily or will likely fall off quickly.
