Frequently asked questions
Some people may ask why they see their natural eyelash stuck to the extensions as they see them shed. Let me assure you it’s nothing to worry about; it’s very normal to see your natural eyelashes falling out with extensions because the extensions are stuck on top of your natural eyelashes. Your eyelashes shed naturally. The extensions don’t pull out your eyelashes; shedding eyelashes are just more noticeable with extensions.
I only recommend using oil free serums for those who need it. i.e if you have little to no lashes, if your lashes were damaged etc. However, If you have healthy lashes and want eyelash extensions to last as long as possible, I wouldn’t recommend using them because the eyelash growth serums expedite the growth rate of your natural eyelashes, which can be helpful but does mess with your lash cycle. This could cause your natural eyelashes (and extensions) to shed much quicker than they normally would.
No, it actually doesn’t hurt. A lot of people think it hurts because in the pictures you see, you’re all taped up, there are lots of tools, and it looks like eye surgery. In reality, it doesn’t hurt at all. You’re very comfortable lying down with your legs elevated. Some people even fall asleep.
The main thing is to come in with a makeup-free face, especially the eye area. If you do have eye makeup on, make sure to bring makeup remover or ask your technician for makeup remover so you can properly cleanse the eyes before application. Even a little bit of makeup residue can cause the extensions to shed quicker than they should.
Some people may be allergic to the glue or tape used during the application. If you’re allergic, you can expect your eyes to swell up a little bit within the first 24 hours. If you think you’re allergic, contact your lash tech for information on the products used and consult your doctor if necessary.
All of our products are made of microfibers to mimic the look and feel of high quality hair. These microfibers are designed to feel soft to the touch and hold the desired curl of the extension. 100% Siberian mink labeled eyelashes are the ones that usually come from animal hair- a mammal called the mink. If you really want natural hair, that’s the style you would choose. But, in my experience, because it’s a natural animal hair, it doesn’t hold the curl as well as the artificial ones. Shalom Beauty LLC uses only animal-free, cruelty-free products and we do not carry 100% Siberian mink lashes and are very much against it!!
