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.

Applying lash extensions is a procedure that requires specialized training and cannot be performed by just anyone. This is why clients must ensure that the work is done by only a "Certified Eyelash Extension Specialist" who have successfully completed a suitable course in this discipline.

Two kinds are available, temporary or semi-permanent. If someone only wants the effect for a special one-day event such as a prom or wedding, temporary ones should do the trick. The glue used to secure these natural or synthetic lashes is not waterproof, so it cannot be worn in the shower or while swimming, or even during sleep for that matter.

The semi-permanent type lasts a minimum of several days, and possibly for the natural lifespan of the real eyelashes. A single fiber is secured to each eyelash with a stronger adhesive which is waterproof, so it is safe to swim and shower. Waiting several hours after application before washing one's face is recommended however, and the use of oily products around the eyes should be avoided.

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.
