PRE-CARE

c l e a n n a t u r a l l a s h e s

Please arrive to your appointment with super clean natural lashes to ensure long lasting lash extensions. Prior to your appointment, wash lashes with Lash Gems Lash Maintenance (lash and brow foam shampoo) to remove dirt and debris on your lash line. Make sure you have absolutely no eye make-up on the day of your appointment - this includes eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner, strip lashes/strip lash glue, eye cream, etc.

n o c a f f e i n e / e n e r g y d r i n k s

Please do not have caffeine or energy drinks prior to your scheduled appointment. Caffeine can make you jittery and anxious, and can cause your eyes to twitch; making it difficult to apply your lash extensions. Refrain from the use of stimulants prior to your appointment so you can come relaxed and enjoy your lash experience.

r e m o v e c o n t a c t l e n s e s

Contact lenses should be removed prior to your appointment to reduce the risk of abrasion or contact with the adhesive.

The Lash Gems studio is situated in a basement and it can get cold, especially during the fall/winter months. Feel free to bring your own blanket so you can be comfortable and enjoy your lash experience.

POST-CARE

p r e - b o o k l a s h f i l l s & f u l l s e t s

Please book your fills and full sets in advance to avoid disappointments as squeeze-ins cannot be guaranteed. To extend and maintain the life of your lashes, schedule fills every 2 to 3 weeks. There must be at least 40% of lashes remaining on each eye to be considered a fill. Anything over 3 weeks is automatically considered a full set.

24 h o u r r u l e

Avoid water, steam and sweat for the first 24 hours following your appointment. This allows the glue to cure completely for good retention.

w a s h l a s h e s d a i l y

It is very important that you are washing your lashes 2x daily with the Lash Gems Lash Maintenance Cleanser or with a lash extension-specific cleanser and fluffy brush. Make sure you are cleaning in-between your extensions, your eye lid and under eyes. Clean lashes are happy lashes!

a v o i d o i l - b a s e d p r o d u c t s & m a k e u p

Avoid any oil-based products or makeup around the eye area as these can break down the adhesive and result in pre-mature lash fallout or poor retention.

a v o i d p i c k i n g , p u l l i n g & r u b b i n g

Please be gentle with your lash extensions and avoid picking, pulling and rubbing them. This can result in pre-mature lash loss.

s l e e p o n y o u r b a c k

Try your best to sleep on your back as sleeping on your face or side can result in pre-mature lash loss.
