Not everyone is a candidate for Lash Extensions. Some are definite no’s and some are just a not-right-now.

Definite No's
  • Trichotillomania

  • No lashes

  • Allergies to cyanoacrylate

  • Claustrophobia (not all cases)

  • Any medical condition that prevents the client from controlling body movements.

When should you not get eyelash extensions?

Not-right-now
  • Eye infections

  • Recent eye surgery

  • Going through a medical condition that can affect the lashes and other hair.

  • Taking medication that can affect the lashes and other hair.

  • High anxiety

And if you do fall under any of these reasons, do not fret. There are a lot more options to beautify your lashes.

Let’s list a few…
  1. Glue-on Strip Lashes

  2. Magnetic Strip Lashes

  3. Mascara and Curler

  4. Cluster Lashes

  5. Lash Lift & Tint (my personal favorite)
