Eyelashes have the impressive ability to transform your face. Long, dark and voluminous eyelashes create the illusion of wide, gazing eyes that highly represents the feminine beauty. Lengthening your natural lashes and creating fullness is possible by applying eyelash extensions.<\/p>\n

Eyelashes require a delicate touch. Every hair on our bodies including our eyelashes follow a natural growth cycle. We are born with a specific number of follicles, and that number remains the same as we age. It is important to take care of your lashes so that they remain lush and full throughout your life.<\/p>\n

Eyelash extensions are a semi-permanent beauty treatment that enhances the natural beauty of your eyes. It requires a certified and professional lash artist to manually hand glue each individual extension strand onto your natural lashes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There are various types of materials that lash extensions are made of and the final look that you would like to achieve is fully customizable and they typically last from 5 to 8 weeks until they naturally fall out along with your natural lashes. Among the types of lashes that we use are silk, faux mink, synthetic and mink.<\/p>\n

Lash Extensions Types<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Silk<\/strong>: These lashes are made from fibers called PBT and they usually have a glossy finish.<\/p>\n

Faux Mink<\/strong>: These are the most commonly used lash extensions. They are synthetic lashes that resemble a real mink lash as they are light, soft and extremely natural looking.\u00a0 Faux mink lash extensions are 100% hypoallergenic and they never lose their curl.<\/p>\n

Synthetic<\/strong>: These are made of acrylic and their texture is coarse. We recommend staying away from these as they are made out of plastic.<\/p>\n

Mink: <\/em><\/strong>Real mink lashes come from the Mink\u2019s tails and may cause allergic reactions. These lashes are ultra-soft and plush however sometimes the curl doesn\u2019t hold up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Nonetheless, rewarding the type of lashes that you decide to get, every extension is shaped like a single eyelash, and keep in mind they are available in a variety of widths, lengths, curls and colors.<\/p>\n

Classic Lashes vs. Volume Lashes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Classic Lashes<\/strong>, covers up to 90% of the natural lashes and can only be as full as the amount of natural lashes you have. Each individual fiber is adhered to a single, natural lash using a hypoallergenic, medical-grade adhesive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Volume Lashes<\/strong>, created a fluffy look with maximum fullness, using multiple lashes (2-6) that are adhered to a single natural lash; they are ideal for those with sparse lashes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Hybrid Lashes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hybrid Extensions is a combination of both Classic and Volume lashes. It adds the signature look of \u201cfullness\u201d with a classic definition, the perfect in-between<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Both sets of eyelash extensions are soft and feel natural, our technique also allows each natural lash to grow on its own cycle without pain, pulling or pinching.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Thickness & Length\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Thickness ranges from .03 (ultra-light) to .25 (very thick). For Classic Extension the most commonly used are .07 to .20 depending on the health and thickness of the natural lash. The thicker the natural lash, the thicker the extension can be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Lengths range from 8mm-20mm however, at Arch Angels we do not recommend going beyond 16mm. The rule of thumb is to apply an extension that is approx. 2-3 mm longer than the natural lash to preserve the client\u2019s natural lash and not cause any damage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
