Feeling confused on all the different types of eyelash extensions you can choose from? Hopefully this guide will help you out. 

The most common type of extensions you can have is individual eyelash extensions. They are the first technique that was invented and foundation of every lash artist. Individual eyelash extensions are applied one extension on one natural lash so they are perfect for a nice mascara effect and if you like your extensions seem natural. They will give extra fullness and your friends will be wondering what new mascara you are using. 

In our shop in Hammersmith we offer two options for individual lashes: half set and full set. Half set is perfect if you have never had extensions before and want to try them out. They also suit you if you don't wear makeup daily and don't want the change to be too big. 
Full set of individual eyelash extensions are still nice and natural but they are fuller. Perfect for you if you are used to wearing mascara daily. 

As you know Mother's Day is almost here!

Being a mom though is the toughest job out there! Long hours, sleepless nights, constant mess and no pay.

Individual eyelash extensions are the oldest professionally applied lash extensions which makes them the most developed service in the industry. The technical part behind it is that the artificial hair are applied 1 extension on 1 natural lash. Giving you extra length and looking fuller than mascara. Depending on if you are having done a half set or a full set, your appointment can last from 45 minutes till 2hours. As it is very precise job, it really takes years of physical practice to master the skills. 

Who are they best suited for?

Individual eyelash extensions are perfect for ladies who like more natural looking make up or usually only wear mascara. If they are done properly, it will look like you are wearing mascara and not extensions. 

Whats the difference between a half set and a full set? 

If you have never tried extensions before and don't wear make up daily, then half set is for you. The extensions will give you a bit extra length but not as much fullness. Your lash artist will apply only 1-2mm longer extensions on you then your natural lashes. If you are going on a holiday or visiting a wedding, half set is for you! 
However, if you would like a bit extra fullness and not so much extra length, then we recommend the full set of individual lashes. We apply around 100-150 extensions on each eye (yes- one by one). 

How long do individual eyelash extensions last for?
As it comes down to your lifestyle and aftercare, it depends. From our years of experience with very different people, we can say that they will look very pretty for 3-4 weeks and after that you will see that some of them have grown out a bit. However if you are very good to them, they can last for up to 6 weeks(!). This means that for up to 6 weeks, you can go mascara free!! 

Ladies have used extensions for years as their secret weapon on why they look amazing all the time and wake up without having a pillow face on. You can be part of the big secret as well and book your appointment today at Hammersmith!

            We get this question a lot. If you are a punctual person and you want everything to go without any disappointments or surprises, you are just like us!


As we are very busy, we always guide our clients to book their next infill appointment while they are in the salon. That’s because we want you to be able to receive the appointment time which suits you the best. Our lash technicians always give 100% to accommodate our clients but unfortunately there is only that many hours in one day. 


Our evening appointments ( anything after 5pm) are usually booked 2-3 weeks in advance and the same goes for Saturday appointments. 


I know you want to look astonishing for that date, amazing on your wedding day or just relaxed on your holiday. If you know your special date, you can book your appointment asap. We take bookings around 3 months in advance. 

    As our regular clients are amazing and appreciate our time, it is very rare that we receive a cancellation. They know from experience that once the appointment is cancelled the next opportunity can only come up after couple of weeks. PS If you are one of our regular customers, thank you for being so perfect! 


If you have more flexible schedule, you can come and see us in the mornings or lunch time. We recommend booking those appointments 1 week in advance or more. 


Hope this helps you plan your time better as we know how hard it is to find time nowadays!

Forget about running mascara on your most important day and instead look absolutely stunning the whole day and through your honeymoon with eyelash extensions!

A lot of ladies choose to have eyelash extensions for their wedding day and its an excellent choice. There are a lot of benefits.

• Extensions will make your eyes beautiful for wedding photos. 
• No runny mascara or eyeliner and instead you can enjoy your happy tears.  
• They will last you the whole honeymoon (over 3 weeks)
• You can wear less makeup and still look absolutely amazing! 
• They will give you extra confidence

And there's so much more! 

What are our tips for getting your eyelashes done for your wedding day?

• Get your eyelash extensions done a month or more before. Look at it like a rehearsal for your eyelashes. Sounds funny I know but we want them to look absolutely perfect for your wedding day. This way you can wear them and decide if you'd like them to be longer, fuller or more natural on the day. 
• Bring photos. Your eyelash technician will give you a consultation and recommend you the best look for your facial features. If you mention that you are getting married, we will recommend a bit different options considering photos and makeup but bringing photos of looks that you will like, will help us more understand. 
• Schedule an infill or a full set appointment 2-3 days before the wedding. You don't want to rush around the day before as you'll be busy and stressed enough. Your eyelash extensions will look absolutely perfect even if you do them 3 days before the wedding. 
• Talk to your makeup artist. Sometimes they are not aware about eyelash extensions and they want to add miles of mascara and eyeliner on top of them to make your eyes look beautiful. Instead if you discuss the makeup look with them prior and mention that you will have eyelash extensions, they could advise you on what look would suit with the makeup.

Having eyelash extensions for your wedding day will make your life so much easier We want you to have all your focus only on celebrating this wonderful day and not worry about your makeup.

If you'd like to come in for a free consultation, please just book your appointment here or call/text us at 07522168750.

To help out your technician and make sure you get the best retention from your lash extensions, we have put together 3 simple points to do before you come in for your appointment. 
This goes for both full sets and infills.


1. Remove your make up. Unfortunately if you have any residue left on your lashes, the extensions might not last as long. When the technician starts removing your make up, we lose around 10 minutes from your appointment, which results into having less extensions applied. Don't show up wearing strip lashes or cluster lashes. The adhesive used with fake lashes is very tacky and takes very long time to remove.

2. Take a shower before your appointment. After the extensions have been applied, they can not get wet for 24 hours so the adhesive could cure properly. If you do decide to take a shower afterwards, it might result into extensions falling out much sooner. 

3. Arrive on time. This is very important as we are booked back to back and if you are late more than 15 minutes, we need to reschedule your appointment. 

Thank you!

Understanding all that it is important to have infills after every 2-4 weeks because if your extensions have grown out and you have lost most of them, it takes longer time and we can’t guarantee that we will be able to fill them all in again. 

    Our appointments are mostly booked back to back and the time for every client is very limited. Because we are very passionate about our job we also never offer a service where we can’t give 100% of ourselves and might risk with bad results.
 Unfortunately for that reason we do not schedule infill services after 4 weeks and new set is required. ​

 To maximise the time we spend with you, I have put together little pointers what to do before your appointment.

1. Please arrive without any eye make up. This includes eyeliner as in most cases it is still stuck on the extensions and we need to spend time to clean it.
2. If possible, wash your eyes before coming in.
3. Don't be late to your appointment. Even 5 minutes means that we have less time to tidy your extensions.
4.. Book your next infill appointment up front. Unfortunately our evening appointments are booked at least 1 month in advance, which means that if you ask for appointment in 2 days time, we wont be able to offer it to you. As our clients are aware of the situation, we hardly ever get cancellations. 
5. If you have worn strip lashes or cluster lashes on top of the extensions, we cant promise we will be able to fill them. The glue which is used with party lashes is extremely sticky and almost impossible to get off from extensions. 
6, If you can count how many extensions you have on and you have left your appointment too long, please book in for a new set. 



Thank you!

Eyelash Extension History

So where did it all start from? 

It is said that the first artificial eyelash extensions where put to use in 1916, when a movie director D.W Griffith first made his wigmaker apply human eyelashes to an actress Seena Owen. The wigmaker used spirit gum to attach the hair. The actress had severe eye problems throughout the following days.

















Seena Owens in "Intolerance"


However in 1911 a Canadian women called Anna Taylor had already patented first artificial eyelash extensions in US.

After the Hollywood introduced extensions on Seena Owens the industry took off! 1917 Maybelline was born and 1933 they produced first commercially available eyelash extensions.

In 1967 first Mink lashes were produced in Japan. Usually extensions where manufactured from a synthetic material which gave them the same factors as real mink. By now there are available mink, silk, real mink, fox and even human hair extensions.

In that time everything started to progress, application methods, different eye shapes were introduced and adhesives were developed to be better.

Nowadays eyelash extension treatment is safe and overlooked by many governing parties. Education has been made very important and not anyone can be in the industry.

Eyelash extensions are the fastest growing industry in the world. We are constantly thriving for better quality and safety. And its safe to say there will be even more progress!

Hope you enjoyed it!
