Book lash artists 1–2 weeks ahead. Bridal and event lashes should be booked 3–4 weeks out with a trial if possible.
Avoid water, steam, and eye makeup for 24 hours after extensions. Plan beach days and hot yoga accordingly.
Lash fills are every 2–3 weeks to keep a full look. Beyond 3 weeks, you'll likely need a full set again.
If you have oily skin or use retinoids, extensions may not last as long. A lash lift is a lower-maintenance alternative.
Tip 20% for lash services. Many artists are independent and rely on tips.
Ask about the adhesive. Sensitive eyes may need a low-fume or sensitive adhesive — some studios charge extra.
Don't pull or pick at extensions. It damages your natural lashes. If you want them off, get a professional removal.
Classic full sets run $120–$220, hybrid sets $180–$280, and volume sets $250–$400. Mega-volume starts around $350 and can reach $500+. Fills every 2–3 weeks are $60–$120.
For consistent franchise quality: The Lash Lounge. For luxury: Lash Affair or Lashfully (La Jolla). For volume/mega-volume: Lash Boutique (Hillcrest). For beach-friendly classic: Lash Bar SD (Pacific Beach).
With proper care, classic and volume extensions last 2–3 weeks before needing a fill. Natural lash shedding and aftercare determine longevity. Fills are recommended every 2 weeks for a consistently full look.
Classic is one extension per natural lash — the most natural look. Hybrid mixes classic and volume for a fuller look. Volume is multiple lightweight extensions per natural lash for a dramatic, fluffy effect. Mega-volume uses even more extensions for maximum density.
Yes, but wait 24 hours before swimming or steam. Salt water and oil-based sunscreen can weaken adhesive. Classic and hybrid sets tend to hold up better than mega-volume for active beach lifestyles.
Generally yes, but tell your artist about sensitivities. They can use sensitive adhesive, tape alternatives, and patch-test. Some redness or irritation on the first day is normal; ongoing irritation means you should remove them.
Tip 20% for lash services, similar to hair or nail services. Many lash artists are independent contractors and rely on tips.
A lash lift curls your natural lashes and lasts 6–8 weeks. It's lower maintenance, cheaper, and better for active or oily lifestyles. Extensions add length and volume but require fills every 2–3 weeks.
