Frequently Asked Questions
What are eyelash extensions?
Eyelash extensions are a cosmetic application used to enhance the length, curl, fullness, and thickness of natural eyelashes.
DFW Lash Formula carefully and precisely applies each extension to each individual natural eyelash one by one. Different looks can be achieved using various curls, lengths and styles.
Eyelash extensions are a perfect option for everyday wear or for a special occasion.
How long will my eyelash extensions last?
When applied correctly, eyelash extensions will last the length of the growth cycle of your natural eyelashes
(which is typically 60 days).
This will vary from person to person depending on your lifestyle and how well you maintain your extensions.
To maintain a consistently full look, eyelash extension refills are recommended every
2-3 weeks.
Do eyelash extensions
damage my natural lashes?
When applied correctly, eyelash extensions will not damage your natural lash. A licensed lash technician will apply one extension per one natural eyelash, and ensure that the appropriate weight and length is considered for the integrity of your natural lashes. The technician will also ensure that the lashes have been properly isolated to prevent premature lash shedding.
Can I get my eyelash extensions wet?
After your appointment, I recommend keeping your eyelashes dry for 24 hours to ensure the adhesive sets and your eyelash extensions bond completely. Avoid swimming, saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga or any excessive sweating directly after getting your lashes done. After the 24 hours you can wet your extensions as often as you'd like. You must also wash them daily.
Are Eyelash extensions removable?
Yes, this should be done by a licensed eyelash technician. Do not attempt to remove the extensions on your own as it will most likely cause damage to your natural lashes. We use an eyelash extension gel remover that is placed on your lashes and then gently brushed off. This process is quick, safe and efficient and will not ruin the natural lashes.
How long does the appointment take?
Your first appointment (full set) takes approximately between 2 to 3 hours.
Refills take 2 hours.
Refills at the majority of lash studios require 40% of lash extensions remaining for it to be considered a refill, otherwise, it will be a full set.
When booking, be mindful of this. If you require a full set instead of a fill make your artist aware so that they're able to assist you without rush.
How do I prepare for my appointment?
Show up to your appointment bare-faced and with a face mask on.
No makeup around your eye area, no curling your lashes, no mascara.
Try to refrain from applying oily skincare, and eye cream.
If you need to work out, go to the gym and take a shower in advance.
