FAQ | Mai Honey Lash

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

Duration varies depending on the style and look you are going for. Our Natural new set may take up to 2 hours and our Dramatic new set may take up to 3 hours. Each new set also requires a 15 minute consultation.

How often should I schedule my refill appointment?

Due to the shedding cycle of a natural lash, we lose on average 3-5 lashes per day. It is recommended to come in every 2 weeks for a refill. After 4 weeks or 50% of the lash extensions is missing it is required to receive a full set.

Will eyelash extensions cause my natural lashes to fall out?

We apply safe damage-free eyelash extensions that will not damage your natural lashes. Each eyelash extension is placed on an individual eyelash which allows the extension to shed with the natural lash. Your lash artist will evaluate your natural lashes to make sure that the proper weight and length of extensions are applied.

If I had an allergic reaction at another lash studio, will I have one at MAI HONEY LASH?

About 4% of people are allergic to eyelash extension glue. If you have a reaction, it is advised that you do not continue getting eyelash extensions, even if the lash artist uses a different brand of glue.

Once you have an allergic reaction to lash extensions, the probability that you will at another studio is extremely high. Most people are allergic to Cyanoacrylate which is the base ingredient in most lash extension glue.

Hypoallergenic glue or sensitive eye glue still contains cyanoacrylate, but just in smaller amounts, which creates a much weaker bond. We do carry "sensitive glue";however, the retention is will be less than our other adhesives.

Do I have to get the lash extensions professionally removed?

You can let them shed naturally, which will take about 6-8 weeks, however, if you would like them removed we suggest you have a professional technician remove them to avoid damaging your natural lashes.

Can I wear mascara?

We highly suggest that you do not wear mascara over your lash extensions. If you must, never use waterproof mascara because it is difficult to take off, and make sure that it is a water-based solution. Oil-based mascaras dissolve the bond of the glue and will cause premature fallout.

Why are my lashes falling out?

Can I swim or get my lash extensions wet?

You need to wait 24 hours after your service to get your lashes wet as the glue needs to set. After the extensions have set they are water-resistant. However, salt water and chlorine are known to damage the bond created by lash glue and may result in your extensions falling out prematurely.
