Before Each Appointment…
-
Having caffeine before any eyelash appointment usually results in fluttery eyes and makes it almost impossible to apply lash extensions or complete an eyelash lift. Try your best to keep your eyes still and shut during the entirety of the service as opening them even a little during the extension application will result in the fumes from the adhesive entering the eye causing burning and watery eyes. Opening or moving your eyes a lot during a lift will also cause the product to go into your eyes also causing burning and watery eyes.
-
If at anytime you want to change the position in the way you are laying or your head, just let us know. As we are performing any service, it requires precision and tools, moving without warning may cause an injury or bad results. In most eyelash services we use under eye pads and tape which can move around during the service, if you ever feel like anything is hurting or in your eye, please tell us and your lash artist will adjust them for you, please do not try to adjust them yourself.
-
An eyelash lift & tint takes about 1 hour, a eyelash extension fill takes about 1 hour, a full set takes about 2 hours, and our brow services range from 15-60 minutes. Please try not to have too much liquids before your appointment and please try to use the restroom before coming in to your appointment using the restroom during the service is difficult because our products take time to sit and to dry making it not easy to just get up and go.

NovaLash Extensions
Your lash extensions are immediately waterproof and oil resistant! No need to wait to continue your daily activities.
Immediately upon leaving your appointment with a certified NovaLash stylist, you can shower, go in the sauna, or do hot yoga. Continue to use your oil-based facial products!
Use cleanLASH to cleanse lashes free of make up and other debris every night. The woven pads are saturated with pomegranate seed oil to moisturize and condition extensions so they remain radiant and flexible.
Brush your lashes twice a day to avoid twisting, tangling, and to remove any loose lashes that might have shed. The last extensions come curled, so additional curling is not needed.
Use only NovaLash mascara on your lash extensions. Be sure to only use mascara on natural or classic extensions. Using mascara on hybrid or volume lashes will close the fans and alter their look. Waterproof mascara should not be used on extensions.
Visit your professional lash stylist for touchups monthly or when you notice about 50% of extensions have grown out.

Elleebana Eyelash Lift & Tint
NO: Heat, steam (including cooking over steaming stovetop), saunas, water, oils, lotions, creams, shampoos, face washes, make up remover wipes or pads on lashes for a minimum of 24 hours.
The only approved product to put on immediately after a lift that will not cause your lift too fall is the Elleevate Mascara. If you apply the Elleevate Mascara, make sure that you remove it with cold water, within the 24 hour period.
Try your best to sleep on your back. A side sleeper or face sleeper can notice one or both eyes can raise or drop, leaving the lashes misshaped because the clients lashes are still malleable (shape shifting).
Stay away from face washes that are mainly oil, they can cause lashes to drop prematurely.
