Frequently Asked Questions
What are the lashes made out of?
They are faux mink, lightweight and flexible. All of Flourish’s signature faux mink eyelashes are handmade insuring quality and consistency.
What do you use to glue lash extensions on?
A very strong adhesive made with cyanoacrylate. It never touches the skin.
If I am allergic to latex can I wear them?
Yes, there is no latex in the lash adhesives.
Can I go swimming?
Water and swimming will not affect your lashes but when water is in your eyes, blot them dry and avoid rubbing them.
How long do lash extensions last?
They will last until your natural lash sheds. Around 3-5 weeks. You have approximately 150 follicles in your upper lash line and approximately 70 in your lower lash line. They grow and shed at different rates. There is the anagen phase, which we refer to as baby hairs. Then there is the catagen phase, which we call the teenagers and the telogen phase, or the adult hairs. The baby hairs are too weak so we try to use the teenage hairs and the adults. On a daily basis, you will be shedding lashes. It is healthy and normal to lose between 1 and 5 natural lashes per day. If you are losing more than 5 extensions per day and/or the extensions are shedding without being attached to the natural lash, please give us a call and let us know right away.
What is the maintenance?
Lash extension maintenance depends on the adhesive used and how you care for them at home. We recommend you get a fill every 2 to 3 weeks to keep them looking full and beautiful.
Will extensions damage my lashes?
They will not damage your eyelashes if they are applied correctly. Choosing the proper curl and diameter and using the right amount of adhesive prevents damage.
Can I use an eyelash curler on my extensions?
No, there will be no need because they come in different curls to give you the look you want without an eyelash curler. If you do use one it will cause lash damage.
How long does it take to apply a full set?
Depending on what style you choose, it may take up to 3.5 hours for a full set and up to 2 hours for fills.
How should I sleep?
We recommend sleeping on your back.
What is the difference between Classic and Volume?
Classic lashes are a one-to-one. Meaning one lash extension applied to one mature natural lash. Volume extensions are handmade fans of 2 or more very lightweight extensions. Classic can be a subtle mascara look and volume gives a more fluffy full appearance.
