What are lash extensions?
Eyelash extensions are individual, semi-permanent false lashes that are attached to your natural eyelashes (one false lash per individual lash). They create dramatically fuller, longer, darker lashes in one 45-minute appointment. To adhere the false lashes to your natural lashes, a semi-permanent, eye-safe glue is used, which will wear off over the course of a four-to-eight-week period (or more quickly if you used oil-based products or are a rough sleeper).
The material used varies from salon studio to salon studio, but lash extensions can be made of synthetic, mink, faux mink, or silk fibers. Most studios offer a variety of extension lengths, curl patterns, and tints so clients can customize their look.
The benefits
In order to be successful in the lash extension business, one must taut the benefits. Here, then, are the benefits of lash extensions:

Are there cons to this procedure? Of course! There are cons to any beauty and wellness service offered, even hair styling. These, then, are the possible negative side effects of lash extensions:

We wish we could give you more accurate information but, like most services, the price is wide-ranging.

Chances are excellent that if your city has a beauty salon it will, no doubt, have a lash extension professional working in one of the salon booths.
