Have you ever considered changing your eyes appearance with false eyelashes but were turned off because you heard they only last a few days? Fake eyelashes are often referred to as lash strips because they attach to the lids of your eyes for a very temporary amount of time.  Sure, they are great for just a couple of hours, but if you want a natural look, Chicago Lashes individually applied eyelashes from our creative makeup artists a great way to go.

The application technique by which semi-permanent eyelashes are administered varies amongst technicians because everyone learns in a different way. Top lash companies such as Extreme eyelashes, and Nova Lash teach their students how to apply eyelash extensions using different methods, bringing about a seamless transformation.

At Chicago Lashes, our owner was trained by Lavish Lashes, and uses her skills as a certified makeup artist to create a beautiful look by applying individual eyelash extensions that match your unique facial features. Unlike quick and often cheap eyelash extensions procedures available from the mall, these are custom-enhanced eyelashes that stay on for up to 10 weeks at a time.

The reason semi-permanent eyelashes last so long is because they are placed lash by lash upon natural lashes with a scientifically developed bonding agent which freezes them in places.

We provide our clients with the option of having eyelash extensions applied from the familiar surroundings of home by one of our stylists, or coming to our fun little studio. On some occasions, we provide false eyelashes at various Chicago spas.

There isn’t a standard amount of time in which it takes to have individually applied eyelashes because everyone’s needs differ. Our goal is to give customers eyelashes that look amazing and feel real.

Contact Chicago Lashes for individually applied eyelashes, available for men and women in most regions of Chicago, IL.

I wanted to offer some brief reviews and observations based on my experience with enhancements by Xtreme Lashes brand.

A few years ago, when I was strictly sticking to makeup, I had my first enhancements from a girl certified by Xtreme Lashes. I have to say that their company uses high quality synthetic lashes, adhesives and products. Since their inception, lots of other designer companies have started up, all of which generally get their stuff from whole sale providers.

In my humble opinion, what makes Xtreme Lashes so unique is their technique for applying extensions. During their extensive training seminars, students must learn how put on bottom lashes, as well as create layers. Xtreme also places a high emphasis on keeping equipment and the work area sanitary. Ensuring eyelash tweezers, mascara, and tools are safe is absolutely crucial when you’re working near clients eyes. I applaud them for bringing this point home. There are many talented men and women working in salons right now, that haven’t yet learned the importance of working with sterile equipment.

I’m also really impressed with Xtreme Lashes marketing efforts in Chicago. Their videos and advertisements are beautifully created and go a long way to educate others about the lash extensions process.

One thing I would suggest is to look around when choosing a place to get false eyelashes. There are dozens of professional eyelash artists out there that buy their lashes from same places as the big names in the industry, such as Extreme, Nova Lash and Lavish Lashes. At the end of the day, it’s more about experience and craftsmanship than anything else. 

All in All, I give Extreme Lashes two thumbs up for quality of lashes, technique and service. I myself am certified by Lavish Lashes, but you will find that most of the leading lash enhancement companies require rigorus training.

I use premium grade lashes that literally come from the same places that many major cosmetic companies use.  A lot of women contact Chicago Lashes and ask, “How much does it cost for eyelash extensions?” Costs can vary significantly, depending on where you choose to go. I’ve seen some spas charge between $250-400.  My fees are very reasonable, usually under $150. 

If you would like more information about different styles, call Chicago Lashes for eyelash extensions today. We can give you beautiful, thick, and long lashes at discount prices through out the year.  Hope you enjoyed my observations and feel free to visit the Xtreme Lashes website for more in depth details.

Are you experiencing difficulties with your lashes falling out, shortly after having eyelash extensions? A lot of women who have had enhancements from other stylists or salons want to know how to make their lashes last longer.

For starters, each professional who provides extensions has their own technique, skill level and method in which false eyelashes are applied. At a minimum, you should be receiving some kind of information about keeping them up.

After Eyelash Extensions Care

 It doesn’t matter if you went to Lavish, X-Treme, Nova, or Premier Lashes, it’s really important to practice proper good after-eyelash-extensions care. First and foremost, purchase a good lash sealer! Think of the synthetic hairs as if they were a new pair of suede leather shoes: Wouldn’t you want to conceal them from the elements? A sealer will protect your lashes from dirt, oil, moisture and other harmful agents in the air which can prematurely cause lashes to fall out.

 Can I Make my Lashes Stay on Longer?

Use the following tips to help your eyelashes last longer:

• Use a non-waterproof based mascara. Oils corrode & break down the molecules within lash adhesives.
• Be gentle when using make up remover, mascara or eye cream around the lash/lid areas.
• Wait 24 hours before exposing lashes to water.
• Your lashes can be worn while swimming, but wait at least 48 hours before getting into the pool.
• Use a cotton Q-tip when removing eyeliner.
• It’s highly recommended to use only water based cosmetic products near the eyes.
• Avoid picking or pulling on lashes.
• The eyelash growth and shedding cycle occurs every 45 to 90 days. It is for this reason we suggest having a monthly retouch.

No matter where you get your eyelash extensions done, you can use this advice to prevent your lashes from falling out.
