How Do I Choose the Right Eyelash Extension Style
The right eyelash extension style depends on your personal preference and the look you want to achieve. There are various styles to choose from, including Classic, Hybrid, Volume, and Mega Volume. Don't hesitate to reach out to us to help determine the best style for you based on your eye shape and desired outcome.
Classic Lashes
Classic lashes are a natural-looking style that involves applying one extension to each natural lash. This style is great for those who want to enhance their natural lashes without looking too dramatic.
Volume Lashes
Volume lashes involve applying multiple extensions to each natural lash, creating a fuller, more dramatic look. Volume lashes can be customized to fit your preferences, from a natural volume to a more intense, dramatic look.
Hybrid Lashes
Hybrid lashes are a combination of classic and volume lashes.
Mega Volume Lashes
Mega volume lashes are the most dramatic style of eyelash extensions, involving the application of multiple ultra-fine extensions to each natural lash. This style is perfect for those who want a full, voluminous look.
What Happens During Your Eyelash Extension Appointment?
During your eyelash extension appointment, the lash technician will take several steps to ensure a safe and effective application process. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect:
Preparation: The technician will secure the bottom lashes with an eye-safe under eye pad and lash extension tape to prevent the top and bottom lashes from sticking together.
Isolation: Using lash isolation tweezers, the technician will isolate each natural lash, ensuring that each extension is applied to a single lash for optimal results.
Extension Application: With a second pair of tweezers, the technician will pick up an extension and use professional grade lash adhesive to carefully attach it to your natural lash.
The process requires precision and attention to detail, which is why a lash extension appointment can take up to 2 hours. However, the stunning results are well worth the time investment.
How Many Eyelash Extensions Are Applied?
During a new application of eyelash extensions, an average of 60-100 individual lash extensions are applied to each eye. Keep in mind that everyone's natural lashes are unique, meaning some individuals may naturally have more or fewer lashes than others. Your technician will work with your natural lashes to create a beautifully enhanced look that suits your eye shape and personal style.

Lash Lifts
Is a Lash Lift Safe?
Yes, when performed by a trained and experienced technician, a lash lift is considered safe. The products used are specially formulated for delicate eye areas. It’s important to follow aftercare instructions to maintain the health and integrity of your lashes.
At Studio Ninety Two, safety is our top priority. We ensure all lash lifting products are fresh and tested for performance.
What to Expect During the Procedure?
During the procedure, you may feel a slight pressure on your eyelids but it should not be uncomfortable. The entire treatment typically takes about 45-60 minutes.
1. Preparation: The technician will clean and prepare your lashes and lower eyelid with pads or tape.
2. Applying Silicone Rods/Shields: A silicone rod or shield is placed on the upper eyelid, and the lashes are carefully adhered to it.
3. Lifting Solution: A special solution is applied to the lashes, breaking down the bonds to allow them to be reshaped.
4. Setting Solution: After a set time, a setting solution is applied to reform the bonds and hold the new curl.
5. Optional Tinting: Some people choose to tint their lashes to enhance their appearance.
6. Nourishing Treatment: A keratin or hydrating treatment may be applied to nourish and strengthen the lifted lashes.
7. Final Steps: The technician will remove the silicone rods/shields, clean and brush the lashes, and provide aftercare instructions.
Aftercare
No water, sweat (no heavy exercising), steam or sauna for the first 24 hours. As for makeup, you can wear eye makeup and mascara but avoid waterproof formulas. Water-proof eye makeup can weaken the effect of your lift and leave a residue. To remove your makeup, make sure to only use oil-free makeup removers and cleansers. To keep your lashes hydrated nourish them two to three times a week with castor oil. At night before bed, use a cotton swab to spread a drop or two of castor oil along the top of your eyelashes, while making sure to avoid direct contact with your eyes. In the morning, you can gently wash the oil off with warm water. Following these guidelines will help the results of your lash lift last longer, giving your eyes that lifted, fresh look you desire.
What is a Lash Lift?
A lash lift is a process in which the natural lashes are curled and lifted, making lashes appear longer and eyes more open, like a perm for your lashes, a lash lift semi permanently curls the hairs and is a great in-between option for those who want more than mascara but don't want to commit to extensions.
How Does a Lash Lift Work?
The process involves using a specially formulated lifting lotion and rods to curl and lift the eyelashes. The treatment typically begins with a consultation to determine the curl size best suited for your eye shape. Next, a technician applies a series of lotions to condition and shape the lashes. After the treatment, your lashes will be beautifully lifted and curled for several weeks.
During the procedure, a series of treatments are meticulously applied, starting with a gentle cleanse of the lashes to remove impurities. A lifting lotion is then applied, followed by a setting lotion to lock in the curl. The professional-grade products we use ensure your lashes remain healthy throughout the process.
How Long Does a Lash Lift Last?
A lash lift generally lasts between 6 to 8 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle. As your eyelashes grow and shed naturally, the effects of the lash lift will gradually diminish and return to their original state.
To maintain the longevity of your lash lift, it’s recommended to follow simple aftercare tips. Avoid using oil-based makeup removers and refrain from rubbing your eyes. Touch-ups can be scheduled as needed, typically every 6-8 weeks, to keep your lashes looking fresh and lifted.

What are Lash Extensions?
Eyelash extensions are a cosmetic enhancement in which a technician applies individual lash extensions to your natural lashes. Unlike traditional false lashes, which are applied as a strip, lash extensions are adhered one by one to create length, fullness, and color. These extensions can be applied using a single individual lash or a lightweight fan of multiple lashes, depending on the desired effect. With various styles and looks to choose from, you can customize your lash extensions to suit your preferences.
How Long Do Eyelash Extensions Last?
Eyelash extensions typically last for weeks, with the exact duration depending on the growth cycle of your natural lashes and your aftercare routine. However, to maintain the fullness of your lashes, it's recommended to get touch-ups, or lash fills every two to three weeks.
Are Eyelash Extensions Safe?
When applied correctly by a trained professional, eyelash extensions are safe and do not cause any harm to your natural lashes. However, it's essential to ensure that the technician performing the procedure is a licensed technician and uses high- quality products. Additionally, proper aftercare and regular maintenance are crucial to keeping your lashes healthy.
Can I Wear Makeup with Eyelash Extensions?
Yes, you can wear makeup with eyelash extensions, but it's important to choose products that are specifically formulated for use with lash extensions. Avoid oil-based or waterproof makeup, as these can weaken the adhesive bond and cause the lashes to fall out prematurely. Remember to be gentle when removing your makeup to prevent damage to the extensions.
