FAQ

Eyelash extensions are generally safe. They are applied on the natural lash and not directly on the skin. However, due to the fact that safety, health & quality is top priority at Xtreme Lashes Canada, we don’t recommend pregnant women to get their lashes done. Please take note that procedure requires the client to lay flat on their back between 1 to 2 hours, in a position that is not recommended for pregnant women. Please be sure to consult your doctor prior to getting your lashes done during pregnanc

YES. One of the many benefits of wearing eyelash extensions is that you can still shower, swim and exercise while wearing them. Our adhesives are waterproof and require very low maintenance. Depending on the adhesive your Xtreme stylist is using, you can get your lashes wet in as little as 3 hours. Remember to always ask the stylist the recommend drying time, since it can vary depending on adhesive strength. Respecting the number of hours you need to wait to get lash extensions wet following an appointment is critical to ensure best results by guaranteeing the adhesive has cured to its fullest.

An oil-free mascara that has been specifically formulated to be compatible with eyelash extensions is the only safe choice. Using a regular oil-based or water-proof mascara will damage the adhesive bond and shorten the life of your lash extensions. At Xtreme Lashes® Canada, we carry a full range of aftercare & cosmetic products to ensure the quality, longevity, & health of our customers’ lash extensions and their own natural lashes.

You will be comfortably reclined with your eyes closed while Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extensions are applied one at a time to your own natural eyelashes. There is no discomfort or pain involved in the procedure. In fact, most clients find it is so relaxing and comfortable that they fall asleep.

Depending on the expertise and experience of the Lash Stylist and the number of lashes being applied, it generally takes between 90 to 150 minutes to apply a full set of Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extensions. Touch-ups can be done in as little as 45 to 60 minutes.

The look can be maintained indefinitely with refills. When properly applied, an Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extension will remain in place until the natural lash on which it rests falls out. This can be as long as two months or more. 

Natural eyelashes grow in and fall out in cycles (every 60 to 90 days). When a natural lash matures and falls out, a new lash has already been growing and quickly replaces it without us noticing the turnover. This process is constant and at any given moment our many natural lashes are at different stages of maturity. Some are just growing in, while others are ready to shed. People typically shed between 1 and 5 natural lashes each day, depending on their individual growth cycles. On shorter natural lashes, this growing and shedding cycle is virtually unnoticeable. 

With proper care and maintenance, touch-ups are typically only needed once every 2 to 4 weeks to replace the lashes that have shed.

With proper application, Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extensions look and feel completely real. Each application is customized to suit the individual. The thickness of the Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extensions applied is determined by the health and thickness of your natural lashes as well as personal preference. The overall effect is added curl, thickness and length, opening up the eye for added definition. 

Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extensions are designed to be indistinguishable in size and weight to human lashes. They are flexible yet crimp-resistant, and they move with your natural lashes. As long as you keep up with the touch-up applications, it is almost impossible to tell that you are wearing the extensions. 

Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extensions are crafted from synthetic polyester. Synthetic lashes respond better to wear and tear than other materials. In addition, synthetics have the least possible chance of allergic reactions with human skin. Testing has shown that there is a higher percentage of people that will have adverse reactions to contact with lash extensions created from animal hair, such as mink.
