General Aftercare
-
Wash your lashes DAILY. Even if you are not a makeup wearer, you MUST wash your lashes at least once a day to maintain clean lash and eye health and help retention. Your lash tech is aware if you are not washing your lashes as build up is visible along the lash line. If you are continuously told to wash and refuse to do so, you will no longer be able to book lash appointments with Shades of Beauty Studio due to failure to follow aftercare instructions.
-
Wash after wearing makeup, swimming in the pool and/or ocean.
-
Do NOT put mascara on lashes, curl your extensions, or place false strip lashes on extensions.
-
Brush your lashes daily with your lash spoolie.
-
Avoid oil based products.
-
Do not pick, pull, or rub at lash extensions.
-
Try to avoid sleeping directly on face.
-
Avoid excessive heat, open flame, and/or direct eyelash contact to ovens and stoves. Your lashes will singe and you will be required to book a new set.
-
Book fills regularly to maintain your set and prevent extreme growth or breakage.
-
Only get removed by professional.
Washing your lashes is IMPORTANT!
The buildup of old makeup, skin cells, dirt, etc will build up along your lash line making it almost impossible to thoroughly clean. Consistently not washing your lashes will lead to your natural lashes suffocating underneath the build up causing premature fall out and the new growth to be weak, frail, or possibly not even grow back.
​
If this continues to happen, they will have to be removed and you will have to take a break for your lash health and to prevent any infection.
