Frequently asked questions

How long do lash extensions last?
Lash extensions last 4–6 weeks with proper care, shedding naturally with your lash growth cycle. Most clients need a fill every 2–3 weeks ($50–$150) to maintain a full look. Avoiding oil-based products and rubbing your eyes extends their lifespan.
What is the difference between classic, hybrid, and volume lashes?
Classic applies one extension per natural lash for a natural look. Hybrid mixes classic and fan techniques for added fullness. Volume uses handmade fans of 2–6 lightweight extensions per lash for a dramatic, fluffy effect. Hybrid is the most popular choice for first-timers.
How much does microblading cost in California?
Microblading in California typically costs $400–$800 for the initial session including a touch-up at 6–8 weeks. Results last 1–2 years before fading, and annual touch-ups ($200–$400) maintain the look.
What is brow lamination and how much does it cost?
Brow lamination is a semi-permanent treatment that restructures brow hairs to stay in a uniform, brushed-up shape — think of it as a perm for your brows. It costs $50–$100 in California and results last 6–8 weeks.
Can I wear mascara with lash extensions?
It's not recommended — mascara can break down the adhesive and clump the extensions. If you want extra drama, ask your artist for a denser style or hybrid/volume set instead. If you must use mascara, apply only to the tips and use a water-based, extension-safe formula.
Are lash extensions safe?
Yes, when applied by a licensed, trained technician using professional-grade adhesive. Allergic reactions to the adhesive occur in about 1–3% of clients — a patch test 24 hours before your appointment is recommended if you have sensitive eyes or skin.
How do I care for lash extensions?
Avoid water for the first 24 hours after application. After that, gently cleanse daily with an oil-free lash cleanser, avoid rubbing your eyes, sleep on your back or side, and skip waterproof makeup products near the lash line.
What is a lash lift and how is it different from extensions?
A lash lift curls your natural lashes upward using a perming solution — it costs $75–$150, lasts 6–8 weeks, and requires zero maintenance. Extensions add length and volume by bonding synthetic fibers to each natural lash and require fills every 2–3 weeks.
