Who doesn’t love long, beautiful lashes? The best part? They enhance your eyes and overall look! If you’re lucky enough to have naturally long lashes, simply curling them and using mascara may be enough to enhance them. However, not all of us are blessed with luscious lashes. While you can always purchase fake eyelashes at your local beauty store, they can be hard and time-consuming to apply. Not to mention expensive.

That’s where eyelash extensions come in! With eyelash extensions, you let the beauty experts at unDONE Salon do the job. With us, you simply lie back, relax, and in an hour or two, you will get the sexy, beautiful eyelashes you’ve always dreamed of. That’s why we’d like to provide you with the following Boise eyelash extension guide if you’ve been thinking about getting them.

The Application Process

First and foremost, there are different types of eyelash extensions. These range from silk, mink, and synthetic that vary in size from 6mm to 17mm. These extensions are applied by a professional technician that specializes in eyelash extensions. The process involves applying the lashes one by one using a special glue to hold them into place. If you’re worried about having a reaction or going blind from the glue, it’s important to know that the special eyelash glue we use is formulated to be eye-friendly and won’t damage your eyes or natural eyelashes.

The entire application process can take 1-2 hours. After that regular maintenance touch-ups will be required approximately every 3-4 weeks. We will also recommend a certain length for your extensions depending on your natural eyelashes overall condition. This will ensure your natural lashes stay healthy after applying the extensions.

Common Eyelash Misconceptions

While many people are okay with DIY false eyelashes, others like the option of having them professionally applied without the tedious task of applying them daily. However, some people may be apprehensive due to the following eyelash extension misconceptions.

It Causes Blindness

During the application process, you will be asked to keep your eyes closed for the duration of the procedure. This ensures nothing will get into your eyes, including the glue. In a worst case scenario, you may experience an extremely rare allergic reaction. However, this won’t result in blindness. For treatment, you will need to talk with your doctor about your specific allergies and take recommended medication to relieve any symptoms.

Your Natural Eyelashes Will Fall out

No evidence suggests eyelash extensions will make your natural lashes fall out. Instead, natural eyelashes grow in and fall out in cycles, which can occur every 60-90 days. That’s why it’s completely normal if you notice any eyelash shedding. Regular eyelash extensions, however, will help to ensure your natural eyelashes and extensions are in overall good condition.

Maintaining Your Eyelash Extensions

Below are some tips to ensure your eyelash extensions are in top condition and last as long as possible:

  • Avoid using mascara with eyelash extensions. This can cause them to break off from your natural lashes when you wash your makeup off at the end of the day.
  • Never rub or tug at your eyelash extensions. Instead, use soft, makeup remover pads and wipe them gently in a downwards motion with a recommended cleanser when washing your face.
  • Don’t swim or shower for at least 24 hours after getting professional eyelash extensions. While you can still bathe, it’s important to avoid getting your eyelashes wet.

Summer Tips For Boise Eyelash Extensions

/0 Comments/in , /by

At unDONE Salon, eyelash extensions and summer are two of our favorite things. Now that the 4th of July is in just a few days, we think it’s safe to say that summer in the Treasure Valley is finally in full swing!

Summertime is full of long sunny days, typically spent outside, lounging next to the pool or floating the Boise River. It also means plenty of warm nights gathered around the grill with family and friends, along with weekend camping trips. What’s not to love?

Even more, eyelash extensions are a low maintenance option to get up and go with little to no need for makeup during the dog days of summer. That’s why we’d like to provide you with the following summer tips to help keep your eyelash extensions looking fabulous all season long.

Boise Eyelash Extensions Summer Tips

Rinse & Pat Dry After Swimming

Over the summer, chlorine and salt water from swimming pools can affect lash retention. That’s why we recommend rinsing your face with fresh water after you swim, then gently comb your lashes with a lash wand or pat them dry (without rubbing) to remove excess water, salt, and chlorine.

Avoid Direct Heat

Exposure to direct heat can relax the curl of your eyelash extensions or even singe them. When grilling or sitting around a campfire, it’s important not to get too close or directly over the heat. Doing so will ensure your lashes are beautiful and intact.

Summer = More Sweat

It’s nearly impossible to enjoy the outdoors during summer and not sweat. However, sweat carries natural oils and salt from your skin that can affect lash retention. At unDONE Salon, we strongly believe in the benefits of exercise. However, to keep your eyelashes looking beautiful, we recommend the use of a towel or sweatband when working up a sweat. Last, but not least, rinse your lashes post workout with fresh water.

Keeping Your Lash Extensions Clean

Whether you are camping, hiking, or swimming, being outside can lead to an increase in dirt and debris collecting in your eyelash extensions. At unDONE, we recommend keeping them clean by rinsing in the shower and allowing the water to pass through them. You can also use a specialized lash cleanser recommended by your professional lash extension tech and a super gentle cleansing brush to thoroughly clean them regularly.

Sunscreen Application

Using sunscreen during the summer is an absolute must to protect your skin from the damaging effects of harmful UV rays of the sun. However, most brands of sunscreen contain oils that can run onto your eyelash extensions which can lead to excessive shedding. That’s why recommend taking extra precaution when applying your sunscreen by avoiding the eye area and to allow it to fully soak in before swimming or sweating.

unDONE Salon

Eyelash extensions are a great way to compliment your summertime look. When handled with care, you can wake up day after day with long, lush eyelashes that look completely natural when professionally applied at our Boise hair salon. Say goodbye to mascara runs, and “raccoon” eyes at the pool, and say hello to set of well-placed eyelash extensions!

Get noticeably longer, darker, fuller eyelashes at Undone Salon. Our skilled technicians dedicate an extended amount of time to ensure a proper application. For more information contact us at (208) 287-2010 or schedule an appointment online today.

What are the most common types of lash extensions?

When it comes to Boise eyelash extensions, there is a large variety of options to choose from. Sizes range from 6mm to 17mm in length with volume extensions ranging between 60 to 600 lashes per eye and various degrees of curl  Once selected, the eyelash extensions are applied one at a time using a specially formulated semi-permanent glue that will not irritate your eyes or natural lashes. However, since allergic reactions can happen (rarely), depending on your sensitivity, there are different types of glue that can be used to eliminate any problems or irritation.

How long does it take?

A full set of eyelash extensions can take approximately two hours and can be maintained year-round with touch-ups every 3 – 4 weeks. Also, it’s important to note that it’s a very relaxing and enjoyable process. You simply lie down and close your eyes while your Boise hair salon esthetician works on your lashes!

How long do you have to wait to swim or bathe?

It’s important to stay away from water for the first 12 – 24 hours after application or touch-ups. Water can weaken the adhesive before it has time to set, causing the eyelash extensions to fall out. It’s also important to avoid rubbing your eyes or pulling on your lashes with an eyelash curler.  However, once set, your eyelash extensions are waterproof which will allow you to shower, swim, exercise, etc.

Is it okay to also wear mascara?

Since extensions actually provide you with the illusion of wearing mascara, you don’t really need it. However, if you are planning on wearing mascara, it’s important not use an oil-based or waterproof formula since they can dissolve the bonding agent, and cause your extensions to fall out. Also, if you do use mascara, apply it only to the tips of the extensions with a very light hand in order to give your eyes the “pop” you’re looking for.

Will your natural lashes get harmed or damaged?

Eyelash extensions will not damage or ruin your natural lashes. However, it’s important to have them applied correctly by a Boise hair salon esthetician in order to guarantee the health and safety of your eyes and lashes.
