Preparing for an eyelash appointment is crucial to ensure the best results and a comfortable experience. Here’s a list of steps clients can take to prepare:
Before the Appointment
Avoid Eye Makeup:
Come to your appointment with a clean face. Avoid wearing eye makeup, especially mascara or eyeliner, as it can make it more difficult to apply lash extensions and may affect the adhesive bond.
Clean Your Lashes:
If you must wear makeup, make sure to remove it thoroughly before your appointment. Use a gentle, oil-free makeup remover or cleanser to ensure your lashes and the area around your eyes are completely clean.
Avoid Caffeine:
Try to avoid caffeine or other stimulants before your appointment. Being too caffeinated can make it harder to relax during the session.
Consult About Allergies:
If you have any known allergies or sensitivities, let your lash artist know ahead of time. This includes any allergies to adhesives or other beauty products.
Consider Lash Health:
If you’ve had recent eye infections or any issues with your natural lashes, it’s best to address these before scheduling your appointment. Healthy lashes ensure a better outcome.
Day of the Appointment
Arrive on Time:
Make sure to arrive at your appointment on time to avoid feeling rushed and to allow the full duration needed for the procedure.
Dress Comfortably:
Wear comfortable clothing and avoid tight or restrictive clothing that might make you uncomfortable during the session. You’ll be lying down for an extended period, so comfort is key.
Communicate with Your Lash Artist:
If you have any preferences or specific styles in mind, discuss them with your lash artist before the procedure begins. Clear communication ensures that you get the look you desire.
Be Ready to Relax:
Bring something to help you relax during the appointment, like a pair of headphones and your favorite music or a book. This can make the time pass with more ease.
Avoid Using Oil-Based Products:
Oil-based products can weaken the adhesive bond used for lash extensions. Avoid applying any oil-based skincare or cosmetic products around your eyes on the day of your appointment.
After the Appointment
Follow Aftercare Instructions:
Your lash artist will provide you with specific aftercare instructions. Follow these carefully to ensure your extensions last as long as possible and your natural lashes remain healthy.
Refrain from Touching:
Try to avoid touching or rubbing your eyes frequently. This can affect the longevity of the extensions and potentially lead to irritation.
