Lash Talk: Getting the Inside Scoop on Extensions at Ella Baché Hobart!

Hey everyone! Today, we're diving deep into the world of eyelash extensions. We're going to chat about everything you need to know, straight from the Monique our eyelash extension expert at Ella Baché Hobart. Let's get started!

So, tell us, how does the time spent during an appointment affect the final look of lash extensions?

"Well, it's really quite simple," Monique explains. "Think of it like an artist and a canvas. The more time we have, the more detail we can add. When we have extra time, we can add more lashes, creating a much fuller and more dramatic lash line. So, essentially, giving us more time means you get more gorgeous lashes."

So how do we ensure that we get the most amount of time for lash application in our appointment?

"The best way to prepare for your lash appointment is to arrive with clean lashes. We always remove any makeup before we begin, but heavy makeup, especially around the eyes, can be quite time-consuming to clean. When we spend extra time cleaning, it means less time for us to apply the extensions. So, to make the most of your appointment, we recommend coming with minimal eye makeup."

What makes Ella Baché Hobart the go-to place for eyelash extensions?

"There are several reasons, Firstly, we only have fully qualified beauty therapists performing our lash services, so you know you're in safe hands. Secondly, we take hygiene very seriously. All our tools are sterilised and then treated with UV light, which eliminates any bacteria. This ensures everything is completely clean and safe. Finally, we use only professional-grade products that have been allergy tested. This ensures top quality and minimises the risk of any adverse reactions."

What about aftercare? What are the key things to remember?

"The first 24 hours are crucial," Monique emphasise. "During this time, the glue is still curing, so it's vital to keep your lashes dry. If they get wet too soon, the glue can become brittle, and your extensions are more likely to fall out. Also, avoid hot steam from cooking, baths, or even children's baths. When sleeping, try to avoid any friction on your lashes, and, of course, don't rub or pull them."

Why is cleaning lash extensions so important?

"Cleaning your lashes is essential for maintaining their health and longevity". "Regular cleaning helps prevent lash mites and makes your extensions last much longer. We recommend using a foaming cleanser with a soft brush, our Ella Baché foaming cleanser is a perfect example of a good cleanser, gently cleaning one eye at a time, and then rinsing with water. Finally, use a cool blow dryer to fluff them up. For best results, clean them daily, but at least once a week is a must."

And what about oils? We've heard they're a no-go.

"That's correct, Oils, whether from your skin or makeup, can break down the glue that holds your extensions in place, causing them to fall out. So, avoid using oil-based products around your eyes. If you use eye cream or moisturiser, be very careful not to get it on your extensions."

For brides-to-be, are lash extensions a good choice?

"Definitely! Unlike strip lashes or clusters, which can be damaged by tears, lash extensions are much more durable. So, even if you shed a few happy tears on your big day, your lashes will stay perfectly intact. It's one less thing to worry about!"
