What are lash extensions / classic full set eyelash extensions exactly?

Eyelash extensions are hair-like synthetic lash strands that are applied to your own individual top eyelashes one at a time.  When the application is one single synthetic eyelash to one each of your own natural lashes then this is called the "Classic" lash application.  When applied properly and safely, the eyelash extensions full set will look thicker, darker, and longer than your own natural lashes but also very real.  Most people will not be able to tell that they are enhanced by eyelash extensions.  In addition, you'll be able to forego mascara daily!  Nice.  

We currently offer a Classic Full Set Eyelash Extensions installation appointment for only $89 on special for the holidays for all clients that are new or returning after 90 days! (For guests returning between 30 - 90 days since last lash appointment, the Classic lash extensions price is on special is $129). Typically, if you are going to keep the lash extensions, then you would get them "filled in" every 2 or 3 weeks is most common, but your lash extensions fill appointment can be any time in the next 30 days.   If you get your lash extensions filled any time before 30 days, no matter how many eyelash extensions you need applied during the fill to complete a full eyelash extensions set, then you get the lash "Fill" prices.  Otherwise, a new Classic eyelash extensions full set price is currently $129 after 30 days and before 90 days on special currently, or $129 for returning eyelash extensions clients after 90 days, reg. $250

What is involved in getting a full set of eyelash extensions at Glosshouz?  Our eyelash extension services are performed in the Spa Retreat area in a private treatment room, and we make you nice and comfortable.  You'll wait in the relax room with fireplace, then our technician will collect you and you'll discuss your desired full set eyelash extensions style.  Do you want thick, black, long lash extensions, flirty wispy long lash extensions, cat eye sultry lash extensions... and so on.  Do you want to try Hybrid Eyelash Extensions or Volume Eyelash Extensions, etc.  Then your Lash Extensions Artist will ensure your comfort on a warmed massage table.  She'll wear gloves and a mask for your comfort. Your eyelash extensions stylist will tape down your bottom lashes to protect them and will clean and prime all your lashes to prepare them for the eyelash extensions bonding process.  Once you're prepped, she'll proceed to glue an individual lash strand (or cluster - for Hybrid and Volume eyelash extensions) to each of your real natural eyelashes.   The sythetic eyelash extensions are from 8 mm to 17 mm and are applied one at a time using a specially formulated, semi-permanent medical grade adhesive that will not irritate the eye nor damage your natural eyelash.  Glosshouz takes care to use a low-fume, advanced bonding glue that is flexible as your own natural eyelashes.  Once the eyelash extensions are applied, they will look very real, except better!

 

How long does it take to apply eyelash extensions?  Applying an initial full set of eyelash extensions will take from 90 mins to 2 hours. During this time you will be comfortably reclined on the treatment table with your eyes closed. Some people even fall asleep!

​

What do I need to do to prepare to get a full set of eyelash extensions?  All we ask is that you come in with clean lashes with no mascara.  This will save time and then we can concentrate on applying beautiful, full eyelash extensions for you during your appointment.  If you do have makeup on, we can also help you remove it.

 

Will I get glue in my eyes?  Since your eyes are shut the whole time while the eyelash extensions are being applied, no glue will get into your eye.  Our technician is trained and practiced to properly apply the adhesive and eyelash extensions in a way that is completely harmless.  Also, Glosshouz uses the latest technology in eyelashes and eyelash extensions adhesives that are developed to be long-lasting but emit less fumes during application for your comfort.

 

How often will I need to get eyelash extensions refilled and what is the upkeep price? Eyelash extensions typically last through a full growth cycle of natural eyelashes, usually about four weeks.  Some people like to get them just for special occasions and some like to keep them all year long.  That said, you will typically experience a few lost eyelash extensions each week with your own lashes shedding naturally according to your own lash growth cycle.  Typically, we recommend eyelash extensions "Lash refills" about every 3 weeks to maintain a full look. Some like an eyelash extension refill sooner, and some like to go a bit longer.  When you come back for eyelash extension refills at 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks the refill price for classics is $65, $75, $85, or $95. Hybrid and Volume Lash Fills are a bit more. However, keep in mind that our BFF Savings Program Membership provides an excellent way to save an added $20 off those lash refill prices which is the best deal!

​

Will my natural lashes get harmed or damaged?   Eyelash extensions will not harm your own lashes.  If the eyelash extensions are applied properly and to each individual natural lash, they will not damage your natural lashes. Our eyelash extensions specialists have been trained and certified in eyelash extensions application as well as safety procedures.  We also wear gloves and masks for your comfort and safety.

​

How do I take care of my full new set of eyelash extensions?  Once the new full set of eyelash extensions are applied you will need to be careful to optimally maintain them.  Just following application, do not get your lashes wet for 48 hours.  Do not use oil-based mascara or oil-based makeup remover or other oily products on or around your eyelash extensions.  That being said, you do want to wash your eyelash extensions daily with an oil-free lash wash.  This will keep your lashes sanitary and clean and oil-free from your own natural skin oils and that will actually make the eyelash extensions last the longest!  Do not tug or pull on your eyelash extensions when washing them but and be sure to clean your eyelash extensions gently daily.

 

What type of style or full set of eyelash extensions look should I expect?  Glosshouz uses a variety of eyelash extensions lengths, types and thicknesses to create an optimized and customized eyelash extensions look for each client.  During your eyelash extensions appointment, you'll talk to your eyelash extensions stylist about the look you would prefer.  Do you want a natural (but better) lash extensions look, a cat eye, a flirty wispy look, or a thick glamorous bat your lashes look? All of these are possibilities for an eyelash extensions full set application.  Depending on your own natural lashes, you may desire Hybrid or Volume eyelash extensions full set as well.  Your Eyelash Extensions Lash Artist will discuss these options with you and help you decide on which eyelash extensions style is right for you.  Your own lashes quantities may also affect how many eyelash extensions you may have applied. 

 

What if I they look terrible on me?

That's not actually happened before!  But, if for any reason, you don't prefer your new eyelash extensions, we are able to remove them for you for $35.  However, we could not give a refund, since we've already performed the service.

 

What if I have really sensitive eyes or really oily eyelids?

Sometimes clients exhibit certain characteristics which means they are not the best candidate to receive or keep eyelash extensions.  One thing we're happy to do at Glosshouz, is to perform a sample application. or a sort of "patch test" for no charge!  Yep. If you think you may be one of these unlucky clients, just let us know and we'll do a test to see how they fair on you. When we do the test, we'll apply 3-6 lashes on each corner of eye and you'll go home like that.  If you have no adverse reactions, we can move forward to apply the whole set in your next appointment.  If you want to do a "patch test", you can just book a no-charge "eyelash Extensions Consultation" appointment.

​

Can I exercise or swim with my new full set of eyelash extensions?

Yes! Absolutely.  Your eyelash extensions are bonded with waterproof adhesive, so you are able to wash your face and lashes, swim, shower, exercise etc.

​

Can I wear mascara with my synthetic eyelash extensions?

In most cases, you won't need to wear mascara with your eyelash extensions, since they do give the look of already having mascara on! However, as your own eyelashes fall out toward the end of your pre-fill period, you may want to add a little mascara to your own natural lashes to make them match.  In this case, ONLY wear water-based mascara on your eyelash extensions (like Mabelline pink & green bottle or other), and do not wear waterproof mascara as this may damage the bond of the eyelash extensions.

​

What if I have more questions or want to see the Glosshouz facility?

No problem! Give us a call to discuss any questions you may still have, or come by anytime for a "eyelash extensions consultation" no appointment needed. We're open daily, located near Park Meadows Mall next door to Ethan Allen. We're open 7 days a week!
