What are eyelash extensions?
Eyelash extensions are comprised of individual synthetic eyelashes that are curved to replicate a natural eyelash. They are applied onto individual eyelashes, one extension at a time to lengthen and add fullness to your existing natural lashes. The result—you won’t believe your eyes! You will have instant volume along with long, luscious lashes.
Am I a good candidate for eyelash extensions?
You must have natural eyelashes for this procedure. We can only apply eyelash extensions to existing natural lashes. The more natural lashes you have, the fuller the finished look. Extensions should not be applied on individuals who have recently completed or are undergoing chemotherapy, have alopecia, or who suffer from trichotillomania or trichosis. If you have any eye condition where the eye does not look healthy or have an adhesive or latex allergy, you are probably not a good candidate for eyelash extensions.

What are the benefits of wearing eyelash extensions?
Eyelash extensions lengthen and give more fullness to natural lashes. They create the appearance of a brighter, more open and rested eye, resulting in a youthful and rejuvenated look. For clients with lighter toned natural lashes, eyelash extensions can darken the appearance of your natural lashes and provide more density. Above all, the main advantage of eyelash extensions is how much time you can save during your beauty regimen. Eyelash extensions provide a low maintenance daily routine. Spend less time with makeup, and say goodbye to mascara! Look and feel your best from the moment you wake up, with little to no effort.
How long do eyelash extensions last?
When properly cared for (see aftercare tips), your extensions will last until your natural eyelashes fall out. Most people lose about 3-5 natural eyelashes per day. When your natural eyelash is ready to shed out of the follicle, both the natural eyelash and the extension(s) will fall out together. In turn, a new lash will grow from the root, and new extensions will be applied during a fill.
How often should I get a fill?
We recommend coming in for a fill every 2-3 weeks, depending on your desired level of fullness. The majority of our clients come every 2 weeks. If you take proper care of your lashes, coming every 3 weeks for a fill should not be a problem. If you are more particular about the fullness of your lashes, it would be best to come every 1-2 weeks. The longer between fills, the longer the scheduled service will be.
Will eyelash extensions damage my natural lashes?
Eyelash extensions are carefully curated to maintain the strength and health of your natural lashes. The extensions are applied away from the base of your natural lashes, avoiding contact with the skin. When properly applied and cared for, they will not harm your natural lashes.
Are eyelash extensions comfortable to wear?
Absolutely! Our lightweight design ensures that your new extensions will feel like they are your natural eyelashes. Our technique and ability to accurately attach a single eyelash extension or volume fan to one natural lash ensures you will not feel any discomfort. Also, the adhesive is flexible which allows the extensions to move with your natural lashes, even in a wind gust.
How many eyelash extensions are in a full set?
Depending on how many natural lashes you have and the service you choose, a full set application usually consists of 120 to 150+ extensions/volume fans for each eye. The results are astonishing! We have undergone rigorous training to be real artisans when it comes to the application of your full set. When customizing your lashes, we take into account your face shape, eye shape, eye placement, and brow arch to create a unique look for every client. The result? A personalized eye-enhancing look.
What if I'm not sure which full set to book?
No problem! Book a complimentary consultation with us. We will discuss what best fits your needs and answer any questions you may have. Please note that every full set already includes a consultation. If you prefer not to book a separate consultation, please book the full set you are most interested in. Make sure to book for the full set that is longest to ensure there is sufficient time for the style you ultimately choose.
I had my eyelash extensions applied somewhere else. Can I come to Transcend Beauty Bar for a fill?
Absolutely! Because styling and technique vary by salon, we require all clients to book an "Outside Salon Fill". We will conduct a consultation and analysis of your lashes. Depending on the condition of your extensions, we may recommend a removal and a full set.
