Lash Extensions FAQ
What are lash extensions?
All lash extensions are made of PBT synthetic fibers, they vary in manufacturer quality and are applied individually to each lash with specialized adhesive to enhance your eye shape.
At Kefi Beauty we use high quality professional grade lashes and application products from LashboxLa.
Will lash extension damage my natural lashes?
Lash extensions alone do not damage lashes.
Proper application, the type of extension and after care makes all the difference.
Maintenance fill every 2-3 weeks is recommended to prevent outgrown extensions weighing down your natural lashes, very similar to nail extensions grown out and need replacement before reaching a weaker attachment stage.
Lash extensions done by a highly knowledgeable and experienced technician with integrity of work should not damage your natural lashes.
Your lash health is at the heart of our mission–with years of knowledge and experience, Kefi Beauty will only apply the appropriate length and weight of extensions that are safe to wear and healthy for your natural lashes.
How long do lash extensions last?
Lash extensions can last up to 4 to 8 weeks, depending on your lash cycle and after care.
We guarantee proper application with best retention, we strongly recommend a lash refill to remove and replace outgrown lashes to maintain your look and natural lash health.
Does the process of getting lash extensions hurt?
No, it is the application of the lash extensions and pre-care that will make or break the supposedly relaxing experience.
Can I be allergic to lash extension or the adhesive?
The fumes from the adhesive may cause irritation if you are highly sensitive.
Improper environment setup or application may also cause irritation to the eyes
We use professional high quality grade adhesive by LashboxLa and foam under eye pads to prevent and limit any possible irritation, versus traditional thin tape or gel pads that do not provide as much coverage.
If your lash extensions cause any abnormal discomfort and eyelid swelling within the first 48 hours, please see a physician as soon as possible and contact us to have the extensions removed.
It would be best to do research if you are concerned prior to your visit. Please ask us any questions about our choice of products and application before proceeding with any services.
What is a lash refill?
A lash refill will help maintain and refresh your full set of extensions
Maintenance fill every 2-3 weeks is recommended to prevent outgrown extensions weighing down your natural lashes, very similar to nail extensions grown out and need replacement before reaching a weaker attachment stage.
At every fill appointment , we do our best to remove and replace lash extensions that have grown 2-2.5mm from the natural lashes’ base area. As they reach the middle of the natural lashes, it does not provide as much support for extensions.
How long does it take to complete a full set of lash extensions?
A proper full set application can take up to 2-3 hours, and a fill appointment can take 1.5-2.5 hours. The time length varies depending on your natural lash count, style of lash set chosen, and how many extensions need to be removed and replaced at fill appointments.
Isolating every single strand of natural lashes and attaching handmade volume fans or classic lashes takes time, if improper isolation and application occurs for time compensation, multiple natural lashes may be adhered together causing pain and tucking as they grow at different rates.
How do I remove them if I no longer want lash extensions?
Please reach out to a professional lash technician to have the extensions removed.
Please do not remove them on your own as you may risk the chances of damaging your natural lash health.
Can I pull out or trim my lash extensions?
Please DO NOT attempt to trim or pull your lash extensions due to safety reasons and it will affect the overall appearance of your lashes.
If the current lash set is done by us, please contact Kefi Beauty for complimentary lash extensions removal.
