Hey y’all. I went to a sweet friend of mine, Sophia, who performs eyelash extensions. For a full set the price is just under $100 and a fill in is around $50. I had a Q&A box on instagram to make sure I can answer all of your questions. If you want to check Sophia out here is her instagram link.
Q: How much does the full set cost?
A: It costs $95 for a full set.
Q: How long do the sets last?
A: The full lash effect lasts about two to three weeks. After that if you want to keep the full lash extension then you will need to have a fill in.
Q: How much is an extension set?
A: The refill/fill in usually costs around $50.
Q: How long does it take to have the extensions put on?
A: It took Sophia about an hour to put the extensions on.
Q: Did it hurt?
A: No, not at all. It does feel a little weird when they are applying them since you have to keep your eyes closed. (I won’t lie, I felt a bit impatient when they were being put on since I just wanna see how they turn out but it doesn’t hurt at all.)
Q: Are there any short term restrictions?
A: Yes, you can’t take a hot shower for 24 hours after. This helps the glue set and makes sure they stay on as long as possible.
Q: Are there any long term restrictions?
A: None that I know of, I can shower, swim, sleep like normal and just live my life.
Q: How do you care for them?
A: I brush them with an eyelash brush, eyes closed, brush on top first; then with eyes open brush from the bottom up to keep them aligned and looking great. Otherwise I wash my face with Tula face wash and I am just very gentle when washing and drying around my eyes. (Honestly it’s pretty similar to how I wash my face around my eyes normally.)
Q: Would you do it again?
A: Absolutely, I am thinking of keeping them on through the holidays to make it easier to get up and get ready in a hurry. Plus I just feel like it helps me look more put together overall.
