What are eyelash extensions?
Eyelash extensions are great if you want to skip the mascara, enhance your natural beauty, and be ready to go at a moment’s notice!
Extensions are applied safely by a licensed esthetician/lash tech. One extension is adhered to one natural eyelash using a special glue and placed 1-2mm away from your skin.
Your natural lash health is extremely important, so we never apply extensions to lashes that can't handle an extension, or cause damage to your lashes with extensions that are too heavy or long.
What is a “fill?”
Since extensions are applied to your natural lash, they grow out with your natural lashes, which typically have a 4–6-week growth cycle. Therefore, we recommend fill every 2–3 weeks. During a fill we safely remove the outgrown extensions from the natural lash and replace them with a new one.
What do you charge for a fill?
2 WEEKS -$60
3 WEEKS -$70
4 WEEKS- $90
*Prices vary for specialty and volume fills
**Anything after 4 weeks will be considered a full set
How do I care for my lashes?
Eyelash extensions are easy to care for, your stylist will go over all aftercare with you. Proper cleansing is a critical part of aftercare, so we offer an approved lash shampoo for home care.
It is very important that you cleanse your lashes immediately after any workout with a saline solution to rinse off any oils that have been produced by sweating. Oil dissolves the adhesive!
Avoid getting your lashes wet for 24 hours.
Don’t use oil-based products (makeup remover, etc.)
Don’t rub or pull on your lashes.
Don’t curl your extensions.
Avoid mascara, especially waterproof!
You may blow dry your lashes on the “cool” setting.
Schedule your fill appointment after each visit.
How can I ensure my extensions last?
Follow your aftercare instructions! We cannot be held responsible for the longevity of your lashes after 1 week of your appointment. If you have abnormal fall out of your lashes, it is your responsibility to contact us immediately so we can work with you and your home care regimen to resolve any issues right away.
How do I prepare for my visit?
Please arrive with no makeup or mascara. Make sure your lashes are clean. If we are required to remove makeup, you will incur an addition fee and cut down on your “lashing” time.
Make sure you’ve blocked enough uninterrupted time for your stylist to complete her work. The Lash Application is approximately 1-3hrs long, depending on the specific look you desire.
You need to be able to lay on your back for an extended period.
If you wear contact lenses, bring your glasses. You will not be able to wear contacts during application.
We require that cell phones are silenced or put on Do Not Disturb while your stylist is working.
Use the restroom before you start and try not to drink a lot of liquids before your appointment, especially caffeine as it will cause your eyes to quiver and twitch.
How long will it take?
A full set of lashes can take anywhere from 90 minutes to 2 ½ hours depending on your natural lashes and the style you’re hoping to achieve. You need to be able to lie back on a comfortable, cushioned massage table with your eyes closed while your stylist applies the lash extensions one by one.
As soon as your lash artist starts the lash application, keep talking to a minimum. Whenever someone talks their eyes move which makes it very difficult to get a good lash connection.
What type of lashes should I get?
Your stylist will take into consideration your natural lashes, eye shape and lifestyle to determine what will best suit you. There are several styles of lashes that can be customized for each client and the look they hope to achieve.
Classic Eyelash Extensions ($140) – Classic lashes offer length and volume by applying a single eyelash extension to a single natural lash. A variety of lengths, thicknesses, and curls are customized to your unique eye shape.
Hybrid Eyelash Extensions ($150) – Hybrid sets provide a blend of length and fullness with added depth and texture.
Volume Eyelash Extensions* ($160-175) – Volume lash sets are among our most popular. Each “fan” is comprised of 2-6 very light, thin extensions applied to a single lash. It’s a bolder look, but the Queen Bee strives for it to look natural. Volume fans can be added in a variety of ways for a light, medium or bold look. Bold or Mega Volume sets use a denser fan (8-20 extensions to a fan). Mega Volume sets are dark and fluffy but take longer to apply (3 hours) and cost more.
*Please note that we measure the length and diameter of your natural lash. We can add up to 2-3mm in length and up to the same thickness of your natural lash. Not MORE! If an extension is too heavy or too long, it will cause damage to your natural lash. We are a safe lash studio.
