Before and Aftercare

Preparing for Lashes

  • Avoid Mascara: Please refrain from wearing mascara for at least 24 hours before your appointment. This helps ensure that your natural lashes are clean and ready for extensions.

  • Clean Lashes: Arrive with clean, makeup-free lashes. This step is crucial for optimal adhesion of the lash extensions.

  • Dress Comfortably: A full set application may take up to three hours, so it’s best to wear cozy clothing to keep you relaxed throughout the process.

  • Keep Eyes Closed: You will need to keep your eyes closed for the entire duration of the application. If you experience claustrophobia, please consider this as it may contribute to discomfort during your appointment.

  • Hair Down: If possible, wear your hair down. This can help enhance your comfort during the session and prevent any irritation from hair ties.

  • Inform Us of Previous Treatments: Make sure to share any lash treatments you've undergone in the last four weeks with Ooh La Lash. This information is important for maintaining the health of your lashes.

  • Lash Lifts: If you have had a lash lift in the past two weeks, please note that it is unsafe to apply lash extensions at this time. Your safety and the health of your natural lashes are a priority.

Aftercare Instructions for Your Lashes

  • Daily Cleansing: Cleanse your lashes every day to maintain their beauty. We offer retail-sized bottles of cleanser and cleansing brushes for $10 each.

  • Daily Brushing: Brush your lashes daily to prevent tangling and potential damage from crossed lashes.

  • No Picking or Pulling: Avoid touching your lashes as much as possible to keep them clean and prolong their lifespan. The natural oils from your skin can weaken the adhesive bond more quickly.

  • Thorough Cleansing After Makeup: If you wear eyeshadow or eyeliner, make sure to cleanse your lashes and the surrounding eye area very well afterward.

  • No Mascara: Mascara is difficult to remove from extensions and can interfere with the adhesive's effectiveness on your natural lashes. Please refrain from using mascara.

  • Avoid Water for 24 Hours: Do not get your lashes wet for the first 24 hours after application. Some adhesive bonds require this time to fully cure. While the product used at Ooh La Lash is designed to allow for deep cleansing immediately after your appointment, it’s best to follow this guideline to ensure optimal results.
