How long do Eyelash Extensions last?
Viva Eyelash extensions will stay on your natural lashes for their remaining natural lash life. A normal lash growth/shed cycle is between 30 and 60 days. Most people shed natural lashes at a rate of one to two lashes per day, per eye. Our bodies will naturally grow a new lash to replace the one that fell out. But with Viva Eyelashes, your extensions can stay on up to 60 days with proper care, and with monthly maintenance, helping you to keep your beautiful eyelashes indefinitely. General after-care will affect exactly how long the lashes last.
What are Eyelash Extensions?
Here at Viva Eyelash in Tysons Corner we apply individual, synthetic lashes. They are individually attached to your eyelashes and not to your skin. Once properly applied, these lashes are so natural-looking it’s difficult to tell, even up close, that you have eyelash extensions. We offer 234 different, unique lash options to customize your look while adding volume to your lashes. Our virtually weightless lashes offer two-degrees of curl, three different thicknesses, and seven different lengths.
How much do Eyelash Extensions cost?
The average eyelash professional charges between $300 and $600 per session. However, at Viva Eyelash, we offer full sets of eyelash extensions to new clients starting at just $145. We pride ourselves on being able to serve any client at any price point. See our Services Page for a detailed list of services that won’t break the bank.
How do I remove Eyelash Extensions?
Lash extensions can be removed at any time and for any reason by one of our artists. Please do not attempt to remove lashes on your own, as this can potentially damage your natural lashes. Ready to remove your lashes? We’re happy to help.
How do Eyelash Extensions work?
By placing eyelash extensions on each of your natural lashes, our licensed artists give your lashes a voluminous look. Your appointment is customized to your specific needs - Choose from a dramatic look with complete lash coverage, or a moderate to more subtle lash appearance. Once you’ve selected the lash coverage that is best for the look you want to achieve, your Viva Eyelash Artist will delicately apply each lash to your natural lash.
We use rigorously tested lash adhesive to create a polypeptide bond, specifically designed for human lashes. The adhesive dries very softly on your lashes, so they stay flexible and elastic just like your own. The extensions will adhere to your natural lashes safely and comfortably without damaging your natural lashes or causing them to fall out.
Your extensions will last a full growth cycle of your natural lashes, which can be anywhere from six to eight weeks. To maximize the amount of time they last, we recommend touch-up treatments every two to three weeks or once per month.
How do I care for Eyelash Extensions?
In order to properly care for your eyelash extensions and keep them looking full and beautiful, we recommend following these tips:
- Apply an oil-free makeup remover to your lash extensions daily (brushing down from the eyelid).
- Receive fills (also known as touch-ups) every two to three weeks or once per month from our Lash Artists. As your natural lashes become accustomed to the extensions, coupled with proper care and maintenance, the time between refills can be extended.
- Avoid mascara and eyelash curlers
How do I clean Eyelash Extensions?
To clean your lash extensions, you should use extension formulated lash wash and oil-free makeup remover daily. Starting at your eyelid, brush down to the ends of the lashes and rinse with water.
Do Eyelash Extensions ruin your natural lashes?
Our eyelash extension artists are trained to prevent damage to your natural lashes. In order to help prevent damage from occurring, our Lash Artists will teach you how to care for them.
The main causes of damage include eyelash loss (bald spots) due to:
- The Lash Artists not being properly trained and qualified. This procedure is new to the United States and not yet regulated, which makes it easy for opportunists to call themselves Lash Artists (also known as eyelash extension specialists). Additionally, many salons use manufacturer “stock” photos, so oftentimes the photos are not actually representative of the salon’s skill level.
- Cheap, low-quality lashes, and adhesives.
- Trying to remove the extensions yourself.
Always be cautious when searching for a Lash Artist. Even if they are certified, most other eyelash salons offer a wide array of other beauty services, the demands of which make it difficult for them to truly specialize in eyelash extensions. Always ask your Lash Artist to show you their certification and which product (and safety certifications) they use.
Can you put mascara on Eyelash Extensions?
At Viva Eyelash our extensions naturally darken your lashes, so mascara is NOT necessary. Applying mascara rubs and pulls at the lashes, and using mascara remover will weaken the bonding, which may cause the extensions to twist and fall out. We strongly recommend that you avoid wearing mascara or using eyelash curlers. If you must, we suggest using only water-soluble mascara.
Are Eyelash Extensions safe?
Yes! If the artist is licensed and the materials are high-quality, eyelash extensions are safe. At Viva Eyelash, we use rigorously tested lash adhesive to create a polypeptide bond, specifically designed for human lashes. The adhesive dries very softly on your lashes, so they stay flexible and bouncy just like your own. The extensions will adhere to your natural lashes safely and comfortably without damaging your natural lashes or causing them to fall out. Please do NOT remove the eyelash extensions on your own.
Why do my Eyelash Extensions only last a week?
If your lash extensions only lasted a week, this can be the result of a Lash Artist who was not adequately qualified to apply the lashes at the salon you selected or due to the lack of care following your appointment. At Viva Eyelash, we’ll provide you with complete details on how to care for your lashes and make sure you receive the full benefit for as long as possible.
Can you swim with Eyelash Extensions?
We recommend you wait 24 hours before swimming with your eyelash extensions so that the bonding agent has time to fully dry. This includes getting them wet in the shower.
How do you shower with Eyelash Extensions?
We recommend avoiding getting your lashes wet for the first 24 hours after your service. It’s okay to shower as long as during the 24 hour period your lashes do not get wet. After this time period, you can shower as normal. It is both safe and healthy to regularly wash your lashes. However, you should always avoid exposing your lashes to high water pressure, as this can potentially damage the lashes.
How do you remove makeup with Eyelash Extensions?
To remove makeup, you’ll want to use an oil-free makeup remover on your lashes. Make sure to brush downwards, starting from the base of your eyelid to the ends of the lashes.
What are the do's and don'ts after Eyelash Extensions?
Follow these important after-care instructions to extend the life of your lash extensions. The first 48 hours following your application are most crucial.
- Do not rub or scratch your eyes.
- Do not pull on your lash extensions - you might take out your natural lash as well.
- Avoid creams, eye makeup removers, lotions, or cleansers that contain oil, as they can loosen the bond of the lash extensions.
- Take care to apply eye cream sparingly, carefully avoiding the lash line area.
- Avoid direct water spray on your extensions in the shower. Do not use a steam bath, swim, or wash your face directly with hot water during your initial 48 hours of the application.
- Do not use a regular eyelash curler; it may break both the lash extension and your natural lashes.
- Do not rub your eyes or lashes when washing your face. Gently clean around the eyes with a washcloth or your fingers.
- Do not use mascara. Our eyelash extensions naturally darken your lashes, so mascara is NOT necessary. Applying mascara rubs and pulls at the lashes, and using mascara remover will weaken the bonding, which may cause the extensions to twist and fall out.
Who wears Eyelash Extensions?
Everyone from busy moms and working women to brides and celebrities love our lashes. If your time is precious and you want your eyes to look flawless all day, every day without worrying about mascara smears or clumps (or wrestling with eyelash curlers), Viva Eyelash extensions are for you!
How do I prepare for my Eyelash Extension appointment?
To prepare for your appointment, please follow these steps:
- Remove all eye makeup and clean your lashes with a mild, oil-free cleanser. A Viva Eyelash Artist can also do this for you during your appointment.
- Please don’t use oil-based makeup removers to clean your lashes prior to the application.
- Please don’t put on any mascara on the day of your appointment (we’d rather spend your time working to perfect your lashes!)
- Please remove contact lenses prior to your appointment.
- Set aside two to three hours for your full set appointment, or one hour to 90 minutes for your touch-up appointment. Many of our clients fall asleep during the procedure. They are always amazed when they wake up with gorgeous lashes!
What happens if a Eyelash becomes loose or falls out?
If a lash extension becomes loose or falls out, do not pull on the lash. Contact Us to have them replaced. Your lashes will fall out due to their natural growth cycle, and you will need touch-ups every two to three weeks as the new ones grow in. As your natural lashes become accustomed to the extensions, coupled with proper care and maintenance, the time between refills can be extended.
