False eyelashes or eyelash extensions have become popular in the beauty industry, providing a way to enhance the natural look of your lashes. One of the questions that many people have when considering eyelash extensions is how long the process takes. In this article, OURLASH will discuss the general time frame for eyelash extensions.
Pre-Consultation
Before your appointment, you may have a pre-consultation with the lash technician or lash stylist. During this stage, you should discuss your expectations, the desired length and thickness of your lashes, and the type of lashes you would like to have applied. The stylist will also ask about your natural eyelash health and any past experiences with eyelash extensions.
The pre-consultation stage usually takes between 10 to 15 minutes.
Lash Application
After the pre-consultation, the lash technician will begin to apply the eyelash extensions. The process can take anywhere from 60 to 120 minutes, depending on the desired outcome, volume, and thickness of the lashes.
The process involves the therapist carefully gluing individual lash extensions onto your natural lashes. Each extension is placed using a steady hand and precise technique, so the lashes are glued evenly and appear natural. Most lash technicians will provide an eye mask or other comfort measures to help you relax while they work.
The lash technician must ensure that the extensions are applied evenly and symmetrically to create a natural and enhanced look. If you want a fuller look, the application process may take longer than if you prefer a more natural and subtle look.
After the initial application, the technician will let the adhesive dry before removing any extra glue, tidying up the lashes, and separating them into the uniform pattern.
Follow-up Appointments
Individuals who desire long-term eyelash extensions typically go for touch-ups every 2 to 4 weeks. The lash technician will remove any loose or grown-out extensions and apply new ones to keep a consistent and full lash look. Touch-up appointments should not take more than 45 minutes as there is less work involved than the initial set-up.
Conclusion
The process of eyelash extension application can take anywhere from 60 to 120 minutes, depending on the desired outcome, volume, and thickness of the lashes. And there are so many eyelash extension styles, it is essential to work with a skilled professional to get the right result. Individuals should be prepared for regular touch-up appointments every few weeks to maintain their lash extensions. Overall, the time taken for eyelash extensions mostly depends on individual expectations, quality of work, and technique.
