They’re like normal hair extensions, but on a tiny scale. Individual lash extensions are applied to your natural lashes to enhance and extend their look. You could have a single extension on each natural lash, or lots – it all depends on the look you’re going for.
Semi-permanent eyelash extensions draw more attention to your eyes than mascara alone, and eliminate the need to faff around with false eyelashes and glue. Meaning you’ll look your gorgeous best the moment you wake up, after a workout at the gym, one the beach – everywhere!
Look after them properly, and your extensions should last 4-6 weeks. The lifespan of your extensions will depend on wear and tear, your lifestyle, skin type, etc. All of these factors will affect how quickly you shed your natural lashes and the extensions.
Lash extensions don’t hurt – they’re applied to your natural lashes, not your skin. You may experience a little discomfort knowing that someone is working so close to your eye, but many people find the process very relaxing.
To the untrained eye, no one will know you’re cheating on your natural lashes. Your lashes will be clean and separated – none of that tell-tale mascara-like clumpiness.
Lash extensions are very delicate, so proper aftercare is vital. The adhesive bond holding your extensions in place can be weakened by exposure to steam or extremely hot water, and touching, picking, or rubbing your lashes.
To keep your lashes looking gorgeous as long as possible, follow this advice:
It depends on the treatment you select, but at least an hour. Time estimates are provided when browsing treatment options.
It’s a cosmetic procedure in which alters the shape of your natural lashes, so you can see their full length – creating the illusion of having used a curling wand, every day. It’s achieved with some specialist equipment and chemical solution, so should always be done by a professional.
A lash lift will last 6 to 8 weeks (sometimes longer), depending on aftercare. It’s a good idea to brush your lashes in an upright position whenever you shower or get your lashes wet.
You need to remove any eyelash extensions, at least three days (but ideally a week) before. You should also avoid using eyelash curlers for a few days before your treatment. Remove all eye make-up the day before your treatment using an oil-free makeup remover, and remove your contact lenses.
If you’ve had surgery around the eye (e.g. eyelid lift, laser eye surgery), you should wait at least 6 months before having a lash lift.

It’s semi-permanent hair dye for your eyelashes. It won’t add curl, length or volume to your lashes, but instead darken and intensify your lashes’ natural colour – giving you the appearance of wearing mascara, even when you don’t.
Around four weeks. The dye won’t fade, but your lashes will naturally fall out and regrow, being replaced by lighter, undyed new ones – this is completely normal.
Keep your eye area dry for 24 hours after your tinting treatment and use oil-free products around your eye.
A protective shield is pressed up against your lash line to protect your eye, and you might find this a tiny bit uncomfortable (especially when coupled with the fact that anybody working close to your eye can feel a bit weird). But it shouldn’t outright hurt.
It’s a treatment that originated in Russia, in which your natural eyebrows are straightened and lifted, to thicken and enhance their appearance. A solution is applied to give a semi-permanent ‘brushed up’ look.
A brow lamination will last about 6 weeks (again, depending on aftercare). It’s a good idea to brush your brows in an upright/styled position whenever you shower or get your brows wet, to help keep their new shape.
Before your appointment, it’s recommended you:
Please come to your appointment without any makeup on your face.
During the treatment, we apply a variety of creams and gels to achieve the desired look. Getting your brows wet too soon can undo all that hard work.

It’s a process where semi-permanent dye is smoothed over your natural eyebrows to help define and shape your arches. This can make your brows appear thicker and fuller, as lots of tiny, almost-invisible brow hairs are suddenly much more visible.
The dye used to tint brows is a different formulation to the at-home dye kits you might have used to change your hair colour. These contain ammonia, which can be dangerous to both the eye and the delicate skin surrounding it. Do not attempt to dye your brows using a store-bought hair colouring kit.
Eyebrow tinting typically lasts for three to four weeks, during which time the dye will slowly (and subtly) fade.
