How many of you never leave the house without first applying a swipe of mascara to define your eyes? We all love the look of long and lush lashes. Now, you can have extensions put on your lashes and have that long and lush look all the time.
Single threads of a synthetic material are attached to your natural lashes with a surgical grade adhesive. You can shower and swim while wearing them, and they don't really come off until your natural lash falls out. Do not confuse extensions with fake lashes. These are actual individual strands applied to each individual lash.
Approximately 30 to 80 lashes are applied to each eye in a procedure that can take around two hours. The cost of this can range anywhere from $150 to $500 per set, depending on the salon and scope of the application. Most people opt for the black or brown lash extensions, but they are available in a variety of colors, including red, green and purple, depending on your needs. There are even extensions that are made from real mink! These can cost $500 and up.
Because you are dealing with you precious eyes, you want to have this done by a licensed and trained professional. This is not a procedure you want to cut corners on by having this done in a back room of a small shop by someone who offers to do it for half price. Only licensed estheticians should be applying eyelash extensions, although in some states cosmetoligists can perform this procedure, too. Make sure you check and verify credentials.
Your extensions will last anywhere from two weeks to two months, depending on your individual hair growth and shed cycle. So the next time you want to treat yourself to a beauty item, you might want to look into this at your local spa.
