The Daily Mail wrote an article about False strip eye lashes damaging your eye lashes which they do greatly but they also mentioned that Eyelash extensions are the same.This is not true. Here is more information on why this is the case. Enjoy.xxx








Eyelash extensions add length, thickness and fullness to natural eyelashes. Synthetic single fiber polyester thread-like materials are applied to individual eyelashes to create a fuller, longer look.The adhesive used is surgical-grade. Extensions come in various lengths, colors and thicknesses, and can be worn during sleep, showering and swimming. However, excessive exposure to oil can weaken adhesive bond. [ Eyelash extensions] differ from "fake" or "false" eyelashes in that they are applied one extension to one lash. The procedure to attach the extensions takes an average of one and a half to two hours for a full set of extensions of roughly 30-80 lashes per eye. If properly applied with cyanoacrylate adhesive, eyelash extensions are designed to bond to one's natural eyelash.


Eyelash extensions may last from two weeks to two months, depending on the cycle of hair growth. Most people choose black lashes, however, brown, red, green and purple are available. Mink lashes are available, and are sustainably harvested from live minks in the United States. The minks are combed out, their hair sanitized and the individual hairs are used. Mink sets may cost from £500.00 and up. Most technicians use nylon based hairs, however, not mink. Eyelash extensions have been around since the late 1990s, used mostly by fashion models and Hollywood. Eyelash extensions are worn by celebrities such as Nicole Kidman, Star Jones, Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, Lindsay Lohan, Gwen Stefani, Lucy Liu, Naomi Campbell and Liz Hurley. However, since the early 2000s, many suburban salons have offered this service. Eyebrow extensions are available as well, however are not as popular as eyelash extensions.

False eyelash strips, or small groups of false eyelashes, are not considered to be "Eyelash Extensions."

As hair grows out, it cycles and falls out naturally, thus shedding the extension with it.

Prices range depending on location of salon and type of service offered. Generally the price is £150.00 to £500.00 per set.

My prices start from £90 upwards for a full set of Natural Fiber.

Synthetic sets start from £65.
