What Are Xtreme Lashes® eyelash extensions?
Xtreme Lashes® are semi-permanent eyelash extensions consisting of individual hypo-allergenic synthetic eyelashes that are curved to replicate a natural eyelash. Lashes are thicker at the base and taper to a fine point. They are applied to individual eyelashes, one at a time, for a natural, graceful look to lengthen and add fullness to the existing lashes. Xtreme Lashes® should only be applied by a professional Eyelash Stylist.

What do they look like and how do they feel?
With proper application, eyelash extensions look and feel completely real. Each application is customized to suit the individual. The overall effect is added curl, thickness and length, opening up the eye for added definition. As long as you keep up with the touch up applications, it is almost impossible to tell that you are wearing the extensions.

What are the benefits of wearing eyelash extensions?
Eyelash extensions can create a younger appearance on many clients. Several consumers who were contemplating having work done on their faces no longer feel the need as a result of wearing eyelash extensions. Xtreme Lashes® semi-permanent eyelash extensions create the appearance of a brighter, more open and rested eye, thereby creating a more youthful look.
The main advantage of wearing eyelash extensions is how much time you can save during your beauty regimen. Eyelash extensions allow you to spend less time with makeup; mascara is no longer necessary. The added benefit is that they look beautiful morning and night, all day, every day.

Can I apply mascara to Eyelash Extensions?
Yes, even though mascara is not really required since the extensions actually give the illusion of wearing mascara, applying mascara can still be done. It must however only be water based mascara. DO NOT USE OIL-BASED OR WATER-PROOF MASCARA. Waterproof mascara or any type of oil based mascara can dissolve the bonding agent and shorten the life of your eyelash extensions causing them to fall sooner. Care also needs to be taken in washing off the mascara. Only use a water based eye makeup remover.

Can I swim, shower, exercise, or visit a spa while wearing eyelash extensions?
Yes. The bonding agent used is waterproof and allows you to shower, swim, exercise etc. Special care is required but overall maintenance is low. It is recommended however that you do not wash your eye area for about 12- 24 hours after the eyelash application.

Can I use Eyelash Curlers with eyelash extensions?
Mechanical eyelash curlers are not recommended. These curlers will damage the extensions and possibly your own natural lashes. The extensions do have a natural curl but if more of a curl is required we recommend using a heated eyelash curler.

How do I take care of my new eyelash extensions?
- Do not wash eyes, swim, or shower for 48 hours after lash extension application, to allow time for bonding.
- Do not rub your eyes.
- Do not use a mechanical eyelash curler.
- Avoid oil-based makeup products, including mascara and eye-makeup remover. These will cause the glue bond to separate. Use only water-based mascara. Apply mascara from mid lash up to the tips, only.
- Use only water-based facial cleansers if possible.
- Use a qtip when removing eye makeup
- Do not visit saunas or steam rooms frequently. Continued exposure to heat may cause the bond to loosen.

How long do Xtreme Lashes® Last?
When properly applied, an Xtreme Lashes® eyelash extension will remain in place until the natural lash on which it rests falls out. This can be as long as two months or more.
With proper care and maintenance, touch ups are typically only needed once every 2 to 4 weeks to replace the lashes that have shed.

Can you describe the application process?
You will be comfortably reclined with your eyes closed while your lash extensions are applied one at a time to your own natural eyelashes. There is no discomfort or pain involved in the procedure. In fact, most clients find it is so relaxing and comfortable that they fall asleep.

I have no lashes at all, can I wear eyelash extensions?
Because eyelash extensions are applied to existing natural lashes you must have some natural lashes to receive the procedure.
