Top 10 Eyelash Extension FAQs: What Every Client Should Know

If you're considering eyelash extensions, it's natural to have questions. At San Antonio Lash Extensions (SALX), we're here to provide clear answers and ensure you feel confident and informed. Here are the top 10 questions we receive from clients:

1. How do I prepare for my appointment?

Please arrive with clean, makeup-free eyes to ensure the best application results. Avoid caffeine intake at least 4 hours before your session to help you relax during the procedure. Caffeine can cause eye twitching during your appointment, which makes precise application more challenging for your lash artist.

2. How do I book an appointment?

Use our online scheduling service on the "Booking" page to book your appointment. If you encounter any issues, feel free to call or text us at 726-242-2326.

3. How long does the application process take?

A full set application can last up to 2 hours, depending on the style and your natural lashes. A infill can last up to 1 hour.

4. Can I swim or shower with eyelash extensions?

It's recommended to avoid excessive exposure to water or steam within the first 12 hours after application to allow the adhesive to fully cure. After that, you can absolutely swim or shower.

5. How do I care for my eyelash extensions?

Proper aftercare is essential. Please refer to our Aftercare page for detailed instructions on maintaining your lashes.

6. What are eyelash extensions?

Eyelash extensions are synthetic fibers attached to your natural lashes to enhance length and volume, providing a fuller, more defined look.

7. How long do eyelash extensions last?

Eyelash extensions typically last up to 4 weeks, depending on your natural lash cycle and how well you follow aftercare instructions.

8. Are eyelash extensions safe?

When applied correctly by a trained professional, eyelash extensions are safe and do not damage your natural lashes.

9. Can I wear makeup with eyelash extensions?

It's best to avoid oil-based makeup products near your lashes, as oils can weaken the adhesive bond and shorten the lifespan of your extensions.

10. How often should I get eyelash extensions filled?

To maintain a full look, it's recommended to get your eyelash extensions filled every 2 to 3 weeks.sa-lx.com
