Frequently asked lash extensions questions
LED Lash Extensions with the Opal System
LED lash extensions use a specialized adhesive that is instantly cured with a safe LED light, creating a stronger, more durable bond compared to traditional lash extensions. This allows for better retention, less exposure to fumes, and a more comfortable overall experience.
The biggest difference is how the adhesive cures. Traditional lash glue can take up to 24–72 hours to fully cure, while LED lash adhesive cures in just seconds. This means better retention, less sensitivity, and lashes that hold up significantly better to water, oil, sweat, and daily life.
With proper care, LED lash extensions can last the full natural lash cycle (6–8 weeks), with most clients coming in for fills every 2–4 weeks to maintain fullness. Many clients notice they can go longer between fills compared to traditional lash extensions.
Yes. The LED and adhesive system we use (Opal) uses low-fume adhesive and instant curing technology, which reduces overall exposure to fumes and irritation. When applied by a trained professional, they are safe for your natural lashes and often a better option for clients with sensitivities.
No. Mascara is not recommended with any lash extensions, as it can break down the bond and lead to buildup or irritation. Your extensions are designed to replace the need for mascara entirely.
- Faster application time with instant adhesive curing.
- Increased retention for long-lasting results.
- Minimal fumes for reduced irritation.
- Stronger, more durable lash bonds.
- Consistent application with enhanced precision.
Your initial full set is 2 hours, your follow up fills are priced by time. We can make recommendations based on how long you go between fills and what your natural lash density is like. The more you see us, the better we'll get to know your lashes and timing needs.
No, not when applied correctly. We prioritize the health of your natural lashes by customizing weight, length, and density to what your lashes can safely support. Healthy application + proper aftercare = no damage.
- Cleanse lashes twice a week or every day you wear eye makeup with a lash-safe cleanser. Bonus: spray hypochlorous acid spray on them daily to keep them extra clean and improve retention.
- Avoid oil-based products around the eyes. LED lash extensions are very oil-resistant, but not oil-proof.
- Be gentle when brushing or handling lashes.
- Brush your lashes gently to keep them fluffy and aligned.
- Stay consistent with your fill appointments.
They’re a great option for most clients, especially if you want better retention, a more comfortable experience, or have struggled with traditional lash glue in the past. We customize every set to your eye shape and desired look, from natural to full glam. Please note that lash extensions require regular fills, it is not a low maintenance service. Try a lash lift for a zero upkeep lash glow up!
Everything from soft and natural to full and dramatic. Every set is fully customized to your eye shape, lash health, and personal style. Bringing us photo inspiration is encouraged! We have black, dark brown, and even fun color lashes available!
LED lashes with the Opal system can be a great option for clients who have experienced irritation with traditional lash glue. Because the adhesive is cured instantly, there is significantly less ongoing fume exposure. More than 80% of people with previous sensitivities can use this system with no issues. However, there is still a small amount of cyanoacrylate in the glue, which is a common sensitizer. Anyone with previous allergies or sensitivities is required to book a free patch test, and we cannot guarantee that they won’t have a reaction with a full set, even if their patch test goes well.
