Do's and Dont's
Make sure your eyelash extension specialist is licensed esthetician in the state you are getting the service. Licenses vary from state to state.
1. Verify that your eyelash extension specialist is certified in eyelash extensions.
2. Make sure they are experienced in eyelash extensions.
3. True eyelash extensions should be applied with your eyes closed. If the procedure is done with your eyes open, you should not continue with the procedure and question what they are putting on or near your eyes.
4. Glue should never touch your skin.
5. Clusters or strips glued to your lashes are NOT eyelash extensions and will cause damage to your natural lash which may be permanent.
7. Each single eyelash extension should be attached to each individual eyelash. There should never be an extension attached to more than one eyelash.
8. Only one eyelash should be attached to each eyelash. Rhinestones and other “jewels” attached to eyelashes may cause permanent damage to your natural eyelashes.
