Question 1

What are eyelash extensions?

Accepted Answer

Eyelash extensions are a unique way to extend the length and increase the thickness of your natural lashes. Lash extensions are carefully & meticulously applied to each eyelash for a natural or dramatic look.
​
Classic lashes are 1 extension to 1 natural lash. Volume lashes are handmade fans of 2-6 very thin extensions that are applied to 1 natural lash. This is why it is so time consuming! Note: These are NOT the same as "cluster lashes."

Question 6

Will lash extensions damage my real lashes?

Accepted Answer

At Mamacita Lashes, we prioritize the health of your natural lashes. We carefully examine them to select the ideal extension type. When applied by our trained experts, lash extensions are not only safe but also ensure no harm comes to your own lashes. Trusting a skilled lash artist with this process is key to maintaining your lashes' health and vitality.

Question 7

Will my natural lashes fall out?

Accepted Answer

Our eyelashes follow a natural growth cycle that has three stages and typically spans 60-90 days. On average, individuals shed about 20% of their natural lashes every two weeks. As these lashes fall out, new ones grow in to replace them. This shedding is a totally natural occurrence. During periods of heavier shedding, it's common to lose 3-5 lashes daily per eye. On an average day, expect a loss of 1-3 lashes per eye.

Question 8

Are lash extensions right for me?

Accepted Answer

Eyelash extensions are a game-changer for many, offering a transformative beauty experience. As a luxury service, they do require some care & maintenance. To ensure the best results, here are a few factors to consider–

Relaxation Time: The application is a meticulous process that can last up to 2 hours. It's essential to be comfortable lying still on your back for this duration.
Aftercare Commitment: The beauty of our extensions shines through when aftercare guidelines are followed diligently. If you often find it tricky to adhere to care instructions, this might impact the longevity & appearance of the extensions.
Eye Care: Consistent rubbing of your eyes can affect the extensions' durability & look.
Overall Health: Your wellness matters to us! If you're battling a cold or sinus infection, it's best to reschedule. Being under the weather can impact how well the extensions hold.
Lash Type: Extremely curly natural lashes might experience a reduced wear time with extensions.
Natural Lash Presence: A fundamental aspect of the application is attaching the extension to a natural lash, not directly onto the skin.

While these factors are crucial, rest assured, the expertise at Mamacita Lashes is unparalleled. We're committed to providing an exceptional experience tailored to your unique beauty needs.
