Thinking about booking your first lash appointment? Whether you're brand new to eyelash extensions or just switching salons, there are a few important things to understand before committing.
Here’s what every lash client should know for the best possible experience.
1. How Long Does It Take?
The duration depends on the lash style you choose:
-
Classic Extensions: 1.5 to 2 hours
-
Russian Volume: 2 to 3 hours
Applying lashes is a delicate, detailed service that takes time. If someone promises a full set in under an hour, you should question the quality. (Unless you’ve only got ten lashes per eye—unlikely!)
2. Choosing the Right Lash Artist
Don’t just go with the first listing you see online or the cheapest price. A reputable lash artist will have:
-
A clear portfolio of real work (often on Instagram)
-
A variety of looks for different eye shapes and preferences
-
Consistent quality across sets
Always book a consultation if you're unsure. It’s the best way to align your expectations with the artist’s skill.
3. What Style Will Suit Me?
Great lash sets are always customised. Your artist should consider:
-
Eye and face shape
-
Your natural lash length and health
-
Lifestyle and beauty preferences
At Juli Lash Studio, we guide you through your options to ensure your lashes enhance—not overwhelm—your natural beauty.
4. Is It Painful?
Nope! Lash extensions should be relaxing. Many of our clients nap during their appointment. After the treatment, your lashes should feel light and natural—not itchy, stiff, or heavy. If they do, the application may not have been done correctly.
5. Can Lash Extensions Damage My Natural Lashes?
Only if they’re done poorly.
A trained lash artist will:
-
Use lashes that match the strength of your natural ones
-
Properly isolate each lash
-
Avoid clumping, overloading, or twisting
When applied correctly, lash extensions are completely safe—even long term.
6. Can I Remove Them Myself?
Please don’t. DIY lash removal can lead to serious lash loss or irritation.
Our professional adhesives require special removers that only trained artists should use. If you need a removal, book in with us for a safe, gentle process.
7. What’s the Aftercare Like?
Aftercare is key for keeping your lashes clean, fluffy, and long-lasting.
We recommend:
-
Daily washing with a lash-safe cleanser
-
Brushing with a clean spoolie
-
Avoiding oil-based products near the eye
We’ll walk you through everything after your treatment and even recommend the best products for home use.
8. How Do I Maintain Lash Extensions?
To keep your lashes looking full, book infills every 2–3 weeks. This keeps your lash line even as your natural lashes shed and grow.
We’ll help you set a maintenance routine that suits your lifestyle.
9. How Much Do Lash Extensions Cost?
Prices vary depending on location, artist experience, and lash type. Expect:
-
Full sets: £45–£150
-
Infills: £45–£75 every 2–3 weeks
