What are eyelash extensions?

Eyelash extensions are semipermanent synthetic lashes that are attached to a natural lash with a specially designed adhesive. They lengthen, thicken & accentuate the natural lash line. Each extension is connected to a single natural lash to ensure natural lash health. Pro Lash Society proudly uses vegan fibres for all eyelash extensions. 


How long do they last?

Most eyelash extension adhesives have a bond time of anywhere from 4-8 weeks. However, the extensions will only last as long as your natural lash does. Like all hair on the human body, your eyelashes grow in stages. It is normal to lose 1-4 natural lashes per day which is why Pro Lash Society recommends you come in for a refill every 3 weeks.


How do they feel once applied?

Eyelash extensions should be very light and should feel like your natural lashes. We use high quality fibres, meaning they are soft and flexible to the touch. We practice perfect application, by isolating one natural lash and adhering one extension to that natural lash for classic lashes or fans for volume lashes.


Do eyelash extensions look fake?

Typically speaking, eyelash extensions don’t look fake unless that is the look that you are going for. Eyelash extensions come in a variety of different thicknesses, curls and lengths, and can be styled to best compliment your face, eye shape and lifestyle. You can choose to have shorter natural lashes, large dramatic lashes, etc.

The most popular eyelash extension length at Pro Lash Society is 10mm and we generally do not carry lengths longer than 12mm.


How long does it take to apply a full set of eyelash extensions?

This all depends on the amount of extensions required. Appointment times range from 1hr for Classic eyelash extensions to 3hrs for Russian Volume. It takes approximately 60-110+ Classic extensions to make a ‘full-set’ and extensions are applied from inner to outer corners of the eye.

What can be customised in a full set?

Prior to your initial appointment, a full consultation takes place where your facial shape, brow shape and structure, eye shape and even lifestyle are all taken in to account to ensure that the lashes applied enhance your natural beauty and not over power it. Here is what can be customised:

Curl: This is how tight or relaxed the eyelash extension is. Depending upon the look you are trying to achieve you can either widen the eye or relax it. The tighter the curl is, the more of the eyelash extension is visible, resulting in a more open eye and bold look. The more relaxed the curl is, the less of the eyelash extension is visible, resulting in a more natural, effortless look.

Length: This is how long or short the eyelash extension is. Depending upon what your natural lashes can handle, you are able to make your lashes pop with length. Pro Lash Society takes pride in only providing safe and sustainable eyelash extensions that are beautiful and elegant. If your lashes cannot handle long eyelash extensions, you may increase how tight the curl is to create an illusion of length.

Fullness: This is how many eyelash extensions are placed throughout your lash line. If you are after a more natural look to your lashes, fewer extensions will applied per natural lash or through the lash line. If you are wanting something more noticeable or dramatic, a greater amount of extensions will be used.

Shape: This is achieved by choosing where the shorter and longer eyelash extensions are placed onto the lash line. The shape of a set truly dictates the look that you desire. For example, if you are looking for a ‘cat-eye’ effect, longer lengths are placed onto the outer lashes to achieve a more sultry look. If you are after a ‘doll-eye’ effect, longer lengths are placed solely on the middle lashes to achieve an illusion of larger eyes.
