Xtreme Lashes® Semi-Permanent Eyelash Extensions are single strands of synthetic lashes that are applied on to your own natural lashes. Each synthetic strand is tapered at the tip with a thick base and curled to replicate a natural lash. Using a propriety adhesive which has met stringent standards for safety and strength (the primary substance in our adhesives is used for suture-less wound closure and is safe for use around the eye), Sonya, Xtreme Lashes ® Lash Stylist, will meticulously and delicately attach one lash extension to one natural lash at a time for a total of 60 to 120 lash extensions per eye.

Preparing for your Visit

• Make sure eyelashes and eyes are makeup-free, clean and dry.
• Do not curl your eyelashes or wear mascara.
• Remove contact lenses and bring your prescription glasses to wear during the first three hours after the application.

Aftercare

Proper care and maintenance of your new lashes will ensure beautiful and long-lasting results.

During the first 48 hours

It takes 48 hours for the adhesive to cure (dry) throughly and yield a strong, durable bond. During this time, the adhesive bond is vulnerable to moisture, steam, excessive heat, cosmetic ingredients coming into contact with the adhesive bond, and friction from rubbing and cleansing. This may result in premature eyelash extension loss and/or irritation. Therefore the following should be avoided during the first 48 hours:

• Showering or wetting your eyelashes.
• Exposure to heat, steam, sauna and friction.
• Application of eye and eyelash cosmetics.
• Sleeping on side or stomach.
• Receiving chemical treatments, such as eyelash tinting or perming.
• Receiving irritation eye-area treatments, such as strong chemical peels, skin-resurfacing procedures, eyebrow waxing or laser treatments.

After the first 48 hours

Although the adhesive has fully cured after 48 hours, persistent exposure to moisture, steam, heat, incompatible cosmetics, and friction from rubbing and cleansing may impact the durability of the adhesive bond. The following should be avoided:

• Excessive exposure to heat, steam, sauna and friction.
• Use of oil-based eye care products on or near your eyelashes, such as eye creams, eye serums, Vaseline® and cleansers.
• Use of waterproof cosmetic products on or near the lashes, including waterproof mascara and eyeliner.
• Excessive mascara application.
• Use of mechanical curlers.
• Picking or pulling on your eyelashes.
• Excessively rubbing your eyes.

Proper care and maintenance

Using proper cleansing and cosmetic products will protect your eyelashes from irritation and premature eyelash extension loss. Ask Sonya, your lash stylist, before or during your visit for more information on approved products.
