How do other lash enhancement options compare with Xtreme Lashes™?
| Xtreme Lashes™ are semi-permanent eyelash extensions comprised of individual synthetic eyelashes that are curved to replicate a natural eyelash. Our lashes are thicker at the base and taper to a fine point. They are applied to individual eyelashes, one extension at a time, for a natural, elegant look to lengthen and add fullness to the existing lashes. Xtreme Lashes™ are for professional application only. Self-application and application by untrained individuals is strongly discouraged. | |
| What are Xtreme Lashes™ made out of? | |
| Xtreme Lashes™ are crafted from synthetic polyester. Synthetic lashes respond better to wear and tear than other materials. In addition, synthetics have the least possible chance of allergic reactions with human skin. Testing has shown that there are higher percentages of people who will have adverse reactions to contact with lash extensions created from animal hairs such as mink. | |
| What do they look like and how do they feel? | |
| With proper application, Xtreme Lashes™ look and feel completely real. Each application is customized to suit the individual. We offer three thicknesses of lashes and two different curls with lengths ranging from 6mm to 17mm in a variety of colors for highlighting effects. Differing individual synthetic lash lengths are chosen to carefully
replicate the shape and frame of a natural lash line. The thickness of the Xtreme Lashes™ applied is determined by the health and thickness of your natural lashes as well as personal preference. The overall effect is added curl, thickness and length, opening up the eye for added definition. Xtreme Lashes™ are designed to be indistinguishable in size and weight to human lashes. They are flexible yet crimp-resistant and they move with your natural lashes. As long as you keep up with the touch up applications, it is almost impossible to tell that you are wearing the extensions. Because an Xtreme Lash™ is an exact replica of an eyelash, it weighs about as much as a natural lash: practically nothing. You will not notice the addition of the extensions to your lashes and they will not cause your natural lashes to fall out ahead of their natural cycle as other enhancement methods can. |
|
| What are the benefits of wearing Xtreme Lashes™? | |
| Most women choose Xtreme Lashes™ to lengthen their natural lashes while others want their lashes to look fuller. A number of women with naturally light colored lashes choose Xtreme Lashes™ to darken their existing lashes. Still others love the different, fun looks they can achieve with highlighting and layering. Xtreme Lashes™ can create a younger appearance on many clients. Several consumers who were contemplating having work done on their faces have informed us that they no longer feel the need as a result of wearing Xtreme Lashes™. Xtreme Lashes™ semi-permanent eyelash extensions create the appearance of a brighter, more open and rested eye, thereby creating a more youthful and rejuvenated look. Above all the main advantage of Xtreme Lashes™ is how much time you can save during your beauty regimen. Xtreme Lashes™ allow you to spend less time with makeup; mascara is certainly no longer necessary. Because our lashes are bigger at the base, they create the same effect as eyeliner so that step can be avoided as well. Overall, Xtreme Lashes™ will give you the appearance of having put significant effort into your eye makeup when, in reality, you spent no time at all. No application of eye makeup and no need for removal at the end of the day. The added benefit is that they look beautiful morning and night, all day, every day. Say goodbye to the application of mascara, stained tears and mascara masks around the eyes. With Xtreme Lashes™ you can look and feel like a gorgeous model from the moment you wake up until the moment you fall asleep with little to no effort. |
|
| How long do Xtreme Lashes™ Last? | |
When properly applied, an Xtreme Lashes™ eyelash extension will remain in place until the natural lash on which it rests falls out. This can be as long as two months or more.
|
|
| How long does the procedure take? | |
| Depending on the expertise and experience of the Lash Stylist and the number of lashes being applied, it generally takes between 90 to 150 minutes to apply a full set of Xtreme Lashes™. Touch ups can be done in as little as 15 to 60 minutes. To watch a video on eyelash extension (click here) | |
| Can you describe the application process? | |
| You will be comfortably reclined with your eyes closed while Xtreme Lashes™ are applied one at a time to your own natural eyelashes. There is no discomfort or pain involved in the procedure. In fact, most clients find it is so relaxing and comfortable that they fall asleep. To watch a video on eyelash extension (click here) | |
| I have no lashes at all, can I wear Xtreme Lashes™? | |
| Because Xtreme Lashes™ are applied to existing natural lashes you must have some natural lashes to receive the procedure. Xtreme Lashes™ should not, and in many cases cannot, be applied to clients who have alopecia, are undergoing chemotherapy or those who suffer from Trichotillomania, unless and until the individual has received effective treatment and normal lash growth has resumed. | |
| Can I apply Xtreme Lashes™ to my own eyelashes? | |
| No. Only a trained professional will be able to safely apply Xtreme Lashes™. Unprofessional application or self-application may cause eye injury, lash damage or unnatural looking lashes. Xtreme Lashes™ are applied one lash at a time to your individual natural eyelashes to achieve long, thick and natural looking eyelashes. The procedure involves bonding the synthetic extension to your own natural eyelashes and should be performed by professionally trained Lash Stylists only. | |

| How do I take care of Xtreme Lashes™? |
| Though Xtreme Lashes™ are easy to maintain, the first twenty-four hours are crucial for a strong bond. You should keep your lashes dry and avoid touching them. After twenty-four hours, care is fairly simple: avoid oil based products and be gentle with the lashes. They are resistant to water, sweat and tears. Your Lash Stylist should give you a detailed, easy care maintenance instruction manual following your procedure. In general, to maintain your new look and extend the life of your lashes, follow these simple guidelines: |
We recommend getting a touch up every two to four weeks to maintain maximum fullness of your Xtreme Lashes™. |
| Can I swim, shower, exercise, or visit a spa while wearing Xtreme Lashes™? |
| You can enjoy these lashes with little need to adjust your lifestyle. Provided you follow the simple maintenance instructions, are not involved excessively in heat or water activities, and treat the lashes with care they will last through the natural lash life cycle and fall off with the natural lash, not before. You can swim, shower and spa
as usual so long as these activities are not engaged in excessively. (Please do not swim or spa for 48 hours after the procedure to allow the adhesive to fully cure.) A competitive swimmer who is constantly in the chlorinated water may lose some lashes earlier than the average person as may someone who gets very frequent facials (weekly) or goes into the steam room daily. Doing an above average level of activities related to heat or constant water exposure may weaken the adhesive bond causing some early lash loss. |
| Do I need to use any special products on my Xtreme Lashes™? |
| There are no products that are required to be applied to the lashes. Optionally, consumers can use Xtreme Protective Coating™ which acts as a sealer on the adhesive creating an even stronger bond to the natural lash. It can be applied one to two times per week on the lashes to extend the lasting power of Xtreme Lashes™. Xtreme Lashes™
especially recommends this product to those clients with oily skin or those who do not carefully maintain their lashes. If you choose to wear mascara we recommend using one of the Xtreme Lashes™ water-based mascaras and Xtreme Eye Makeup Remover, specially formulated for eyelash extensions. Additional curl can be safely added to the lashes as well with an Xtreme Lashes™ Heated Eyelash Curler. Ask for these items from your local Lash Stylist. |
Indeed, one of the main advantages of Xtreme Lashes™ is that you never need mascara again. However, if you must have the mascara look, only water based mascara can be used. You can purchase one of our specially formulated Xtreme Lashes™ mascaras from your local Xtreme Lashes™ Stylist. DO NOT USE OIL-BASED OR WATER-PROOF MASCARA. Waterproof mascara along with any type of oil based mascara will dissolve the adhesive and cause your Xtreme Lashes™ to fall off. |
A natural lash typically sheds every 60 to 90 days and is replaced with the growth of a new eyelash. Since Xtreme Lashes™ are applied one by one to each individual hair, after 2-4 weeks, approximately 1/3 of the lashes will have cycled out. At this point, touch ups are required to replace the lashes that have completed their life cycle. Touch ups generally take a short time and are relatively inexpensive. |
As the natural lashes cycle out and shed, Xtreme Lashes™ will shed with them. However, if necessary, Xtreme Lashes™ can be professionally removed by a Lash Stylist using our specially formulated adhesive remover. The removal process normally takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes for a full set. Never try to remove eyelash extensions on your own. Damage can be caused by pulling the extensions off with the natural lash, removing the natural lash before it is ready to shed. |
|
| Is the product FDA approved? Is it safe? |
| At this time, the FDA does not regulate eyelash extensions since they are solely applied to the lashes and do not touch the skin. The primary ingredient in both of our exclusive HP Adhesives is the same ingredient used by plastic surgeons in the U.S. for suture-less wound closure (to close skin wounds without stitches). The application process is pain-free and relaxing. In fact, many clients fall asleep during the procedure. However, improper application by an unqualified technician can cause damage to your eyes and eyelids. Do not trust your eyes to just any technician. |
| Do Xtreme Lashes™ damage natural lashes? |
| Xtreme Lashes™ cause no damage to the natural lashes. Our adhesives have been developed to exacting specifications. Our top priority was ensuring a thoroughly safe product so we chose to follow the standards set by the US Medical Industry and top US Surgeons. The main ingredient in both our adhesives is the same ingredient used for
suture-less wound closure. These adhesives are the perfect blend of safety, longevity, flexibility and strength. Xtreme Lashes™ strongly believes that eyelash extensions are best applied by individuals who are already trained in areas like sanitation, safety, and health issues. Therefore, we sell exclusively to individuals who have previously received training in a health or beauty field such as cosmetology, esthetics or nursing. In addition we require these trained professionals attend and successfully complete our hands-on workshop in order to purchase any of the professional products or tools we offer. |
| Is there anyone who cannot or should not have Xtreme Lashes™ applied? |
| Because Xtreme Lashes™ are applied to existing natural lashes an individual must have some natural lashes for the procedure. Xtreme Lashes™ should not, and in many cases cannot, be applied to clients who have alopecia, are undergoing chemotherapy or those who suffer from Trichotillomania, unless and until the individual has received
effective treatment and normal lash growth has resumed. Cancer/Chemotherapy Recovery: Cancer patients can begin having Xtreme Lashes™ applied once chemo has completed and lashes are beginning to grow in again. During this initial growth stage the lashes are weaker and thinner than they originally were. Xtreme Lashes™ Thin (.10mm) lashes can be applied during this stage to thicken the lash line without causing stress to these weakened lashes. As stronger lashes start to grow, Xtreme Lashes™ Thick (.15mm) lashes can added for more fullness. For cancer patients whose lashes are growing back sporadically, Xtreme Lashes™ Stylists can use special techniques to compensate for any gaps. Alopecia: Xtreme Lashes™ should only be applied once lash growth has resumed. As with Cancer recovery patients, special techniques can be used to add additional fullness during the regrowth period and to compensate for any gaps. Trichotillomania: Individuals with Trichotillomania (an impulse disorder characterized by the urge to pull eyelashes and other hair out) do not make good candidates for Xtreme Lashes™ unless and until they have received effective treatment. Extensions may provide a stronger urge for these individuals to pull at their lashes if they are not undergoing treatment. Skin Sensitivity: Although our adhesives are developed to be safe for use on the skin, Xtreme Lashes™ are never applied to the skin therefore allergic reactions due to contact with our adhesives are rare. Individuals with allergies to other cosmetics or fragrances may experience some sensitivity to ingredients in some of the other materials used to apply Xtreme Lashes™ such as our Anti-Wrinkle Gel Patches. We recommend those with known sensitivities undergo a patch test on the Gel Patches prior to application. If necessary, Lash Stylists can apply medical tape under the eyes during the procedure instead. |
