Eyelash Extensions Procedures
At Metamorphosis Salon and Day Spa, our lash experts are trained and certified as Xtreme Lashes®, Borboleta, or Bella Lash Artists.
Semi-Permanent Eyelash Extensions are single strands of synthetic lashes that are applied on to your own natural lashes. Each synthetic strand is tapered at the tip with a thick base and curled to replicate a natural lash. Lash Stylists meticulously and delicately attach one lash extension to one natural lash at a time for a total of 60 to 120 lash extensions per eye.
The procedure typically takes anywhere from 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours, depending on the expertise of the lash stylist and the number of lashes being applied per eye. Clients are comfortably reclined on an esthetic bed or massage table with their eyes closed, and lower lashes are covered to prevent the top lashes from adhering to the bottom lashes. The procedure is often referred to as “Beauty Sleep” as it is non-invasive, painless and so relaxing that clients typically fall asleep then awaken to lush, beautiful lashes.
During the application, the Lash Stylist will isolate one natural lash and attach one lash extension to the isolated hair about 1mm from the eyelid so that none of the eyelash extensions actually touch the skin or stick to each other. This results in the natural look and feel.
Eyelash Extensions are adhered using specially-formulated adhesives—the safest and longest-lasting line of adhesives developed specifically for the Eyelash Extension procedure.
Lash Stylists are trained to design and “style” lashes to suit the needs of the client. lash stylist will conduct a consultation with his/her client and take into consideration the client’s eye shape, condition of natural lashes, facial features, skin tone, and the lifestyle and preference of the client. The Lash Stylist will then select the appropriate lengths, curvatures, thicknesses and colors to customize a unique, individual look for their client. With a large inventory of lashes, virtually any look can be created, from a natural, subtle enhancement to the highest-impact drama queen lashes in town.
The look can last indefinitely with 45 minute refills every 2-3 weeks. Like your scalp hair, natural eyelashes grow and shed in a cycle, which is typically about 60 days (2 months). When a natural eyelash matures and falls out, a new eyelash has already been growing and quickly replaces it. People typically shed between 1 and 5 natural lashes each day, depending on their individual growth cycles. When properly applied, a lash extension will remain in place until the natural lash on which it rests falls out. Refills are necessary to replenish the fallen hairs and maintain the look.
“When you are balanced and when you listen and attend to the needs of your body, mind, and spirit, you natural beauty comes out.”
