Welcome to the Winks family! We’re thrilled you’ve chosen Winks Eyelash Boutique for your eyelash extensions. To ensure you get the best results from your lash session, here’s an in-depth guide to prepping:
-
Skip the Curler:
Please avoid using eyelash curlers a few days before your session. Curled lashes might complicate the application.
-
No Waterproof Mascara:
Refrain from wearing waterproof mascara for at least 3 days prior. Residues from such products can hinder effective bonding.
-
Beware of Oily Products:
Oil-based products around the eyes can interfere with the adhesive. Pause these products a few days before your appointment.
-
Stay Clear of Caffeine:
Try reducing your caffeine intake on the day of your session. This helps prevent any involuntary eye movements.
-
Plan Your Day:
The lashing process can span 1-3 hours. Ensure you have ample time, and perhaps bring headphones for relaxation.
-
Voice Your Vision:
If you have specific lash styles in mind, bring photos for reference. It helps our technicians bring your vision to life.
-
Tanning Guidelines:
Feel free to tan before your session but avoid tanning beds or sprays for 24 hours after.
-
Coordinate Beauty Activities:
Schedule other treatments like hair sessions, facials, Botox, or spa visits before your lash day. Activities that involve heat or moisture post-lashing can impact the adhesive.
-
Aftercare Tip:
Keep your fresh extensions dry for the first 24 hours. This means avoiding steamy showers, saunas, and sweaty workouts.
-
Got Allergies? Let us know:
If you have skin sensitivities or known allergies, consider requesting a patch test before the full set.
-
Contact Lenses and Makeup:
We provide solutions for your lenses. If wearing makeup, please come a tad early for proper removal, ensuring maximum time for your lash application.
-
Engage Later:
Take care of phone calls before your session or plan them afterward. We want this time to be a serene retreat for you.
-
Relax & Recline:
Many clients find the lashing process so relaxing they catch a quick nap. Come ready to unwind!
