WHAT LASH EXTENSIONS DO I BOOK?
👁️🗨️ What to Expect During Your Lash Extension Appointment
By Skin Care by J ROBLES
Thinking about getting lash extensions? Whether it’s your first time or you're just curious about how it works, knowing what to expect can make the experience smoother—and more relaxing. At Skin Care by J ROBLES, we take pride in creating safe, customized lash looks that enhance your natural beauty while protecting your natural lashes.
Let’s walk you through what really happens during a lash extension appointment, step by step.
✨ What Are Lash Extensions?
Lash extensions are semi-permanent fibers that are individually applied to your natural lashes using a special adhesive. The goal is to enhance your lash length, curl, fullness, and overall eye shape. You can choose a natural, wispy look or go full glam—it’s completely customizable.
What Lash Extensions Do We Offer?
Here at Skin Care BY J, we offer,
Classic Sets - Classic lash extensions are the most natural-looking type of eyelash extension. They involve applying one single extension to one natural lash (also known as a 1:1 ratio).
This creates a subtle, beautiful enhancement that:
Adds length
Boosts curl
Slightly thickens your lash line
Still looks like your lashes—just better
💡 Who Are Classic Lashes Best For?
Classic lashes are ideal for clients who:
Want a natural and elegant look
Have a good number of healthy natural lashes
Are new to lash extensions
Prefer a clean, mascara-like finish
💡 Who Is a Half Set Best For?
Half Sets - A half set of lash extensions is exactly what it sounds like—only about 50-80% of your natural lashes are enhanced with extensions. Using 3-4 fiber hairs to create a soft look. This gives you a more natural look compared to a full set, while still delivering noticeable results. This type of set allows more creativity than a classic set.
A subtle boost in length, curl, and fullness
A perfect "mascara but better" effect
Great for those wanting a natural enhancement or a budget-friendly intro to extensions
Half sets are ideal if you:
Are new to lash extensions
Prefer a more natural or low-maintenance look
Have a smaller eye shape or want just a touch of definition
Want to try lashes before committing to a full set
Are in between full sets and just need a light refresh
💡 Who Should Choose Light Volume?
Light Volume Sets - Looking for lashes that are 100% coverage yet still give soft and airy? Light volume lash extensions might be your perfect match.
Light volume lashes involve applying 2 to 4 ultra-fine lash extensions to each natural lash in a delicate, hand-made fan. This technique is sometimes called 2D–4D volume, and it gives a fuller, fluffier look than classic lashes without going into dramatic territory.
More coverage than classic (1:1)
Less density than full volume (5D–6D+)
Still soft, airy, and wispy
Light volume lashes are ideal for clients who:
Want more fullness than classic, but not heavy or dramatic
Have naturally sparse lashes and want to create a fuller lash line
Prefer a soft, pretty enhancement that works for both every day and special occasions
Like a wispy, textured finish
🗓️ Before Your Appointment: How to Prepare
Getting ready is simple, but these tips will help you get the best results:
Arrive with clean, makeup-free eyes—no mascara, eyeliner, or eye cream.
Avoid caffeine beforehand to help you relax (you’ll be lying down for a while).
Remove contact lenses before appointment.
Please note, you will need to avoid water and steam for 24 hours after.
🧼 Aftercare: Keep Those Lashes Looking Fabulous
Your lash artist will go over aftercare instructions, but here are the basics:
Avoid water, steam, and sweating for 24–48 hours.
Don’t rub or pull your lashes.
Use oil-free products around the eyes.
Gently brush your lashes daily with a clean spoolie.
Gently wash your lashes - ask about our foaming lash cleanser.
Avoid mascara and lash curlers—your extensions won’t need them!
⏳ How Long Do They Last?
With proper care, lash extensions typically last 2–3 weeks before a refill is needed. Everyone’s natural lash cycle is different, so we’ll help you decide on the best refill schedule for your lashes.
🚫 Who Should Avoid Lash Extensions?
While lash extensions are safe for most people, they may not be ideal if:
You have very sensitive eyes or allergies to adhesives
You rub your eyes frequently or sleep on your face
You have active eye infections or recent eye surgery
(We always recommend a patch test if you're unsure!)
