What to Expect at Your First Lash Appointment

Getting lash extensions for the first time can feel exciting and a little nerve-wracking. Knowing what to expect makes the experience much more relaxing and enjoyable.

Before Your Appointment

Preparation Tips

  • <strong>Come with clean lashes</strong> — Remove all eye makeup and avoid oily products near your eyes
  • <strong>Skip the caffeine</strong> — You'll need to lie still for 1-2 hours
  • <strong>Wear comfortable clothing</strong> — You'll be relaxing on a treatment bed
  • <strong>Leave contacts at home</strong> — Glasses are easier for your appointment
  • What to Communicate

    During your consultation, share:

  • Your desired look (natural, dramatic, or somewhere in between)
  • Any allergies or sensitivities
  • Your lifestyle and maintenance preferences
  • Questions or concerns you may have
  • During the Appointment

    The Process

  • **Consultation** — We discuss your goals and choose the perfect style
  • **Preparation** — Your lower lashes are secured and your eyes are closed
  • **Application** — Individual extensions are applied one by one
  • **Drying time** — A few minutes for the adhesive to set
  • **Final reveal** — Open your eyes and see your new look!
  • What You'll Feel

    The process is completely painless. Most clients find it so relaxing that they fall asleep! You may feel a slight sensation as extensions are placed, but there should never be any discomfort.

    After Your Appointment

    Immediate Aftercare

    For the first 24-48 hours:

  • Avoid water on your lashes
  • Skip steam, saunas, and hot yoga
  • Don't touch or rub your eyes
  • Sleep on your back if possible
  • Long-Term Care

    To keep your lashes looking beautiful:

  • Clean daily with a lash-safe cleanser
  • Brush with a clean spoolie each morning
  • Avoid oil-based products near your eyes
  • Schedule fills every 2-3 weeks
  • What to Expect from Results

    Your first set will typically last 4-6 weeks with proper care. As your natural lashes shed, some extensions will fall out — this is completely normal. Regular fills keep your lashes looking full and fresh.

    We're here to make your first lash experience exceptional. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions before, during, or after your appointment.
