Guide To Getting Eyelash Extensions In Long Island

By Deanne Shepard


Full, curling lashes beautifully frame the eyes and are desired by most women, unfortunately not everyone has is born with lashes like this, which is why eyelash extensions have become so popular. Artificial or natural lash fibers are glued to the real ones, creating a look of more length and volume. Most ladies are pleased with the results and can enjoy prettier lashes for several weeks in some cases. If interested in finding a service for eyelash extensions in Long Island, clients will find this guide useful.

This alternative appeals to many women over mascara which can clump and smear and must be reapplied, and temporary false eyelashes which merely sit on top of one's real ones, as they look more natural and once in place, they are not difficult to care for. The lash fibers used for extensions may be either natural or synthetic, but the latter are more common. Various adhesives are used, but the best is USP grade and free of formaldehyde.

Special training is required to be able to apply lash extensions, so it necessary for clients to make sure they only hire a "Certified Eyelash Extension Specialist". These professional technicians have earned this title by successfully passing an instructional course which teaches students how to master this technique.

The two kinds of extensions are "temporary" and "semi-permanent", they differ in how long they last. Temporary lashes are most commonly applied for a special, one-time occasion such as a wedding or prom. The glue used in this case isn't waterproof so it can't be worn in the shower or left on overnight. They can be made from either a synthetic fiber much like human hair called "keraspecific fiber" or from natural hair.

Most customers opt for semi-permanent lashes, as these can be left in place for several days or even as long as a few weeks in some cases. The adhesive used to secure each fiber to every natural lash is a waterproof formula which can safely be worn in the shower or pool. As a precaution, it's still recommended to wait several hours after they are applied before washing the face, and one should not use oily products around the eyes.

There is large choice of different colors, thicknesses, and lengths of these lashes which clients can choose from. Natural lash colors will create a realistic look, and there are also bold and vivid shades for those who want a more unique appearance. Lengths can vary between 5 and 15 millimeters and lash thickness ranges between 0.25 to about 2.0 millimeters. A full set of lashes usually consists of 30 to 60 individual fibers.

It may take as long as two hours to apply a full set of lashes. Clients must not wear contact lenses or any eye makeup when the lashes are being attached, and can simply lie down and relax during this painless procedure. Mascara is not usually needed with extensions, but if the client wishes to use it, she should ask the technician to recommend the most compatible types.

Just about anyone can have eyelash extensions placed and obtain great results. However people who have very sensitive skin, are troubled with eye irritation due to allergies or rhinitis, as well as those with super-curly or minimal natural lashes are not considered to be good candidates for this procedure as the lashes will not likely last long, or it will be challenging to attach them in the first place.
