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!

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!

It´s all about eyebrows!  They can either compliment your face or make it a disaster.
Here are just some mistakes I have come across with my work:

1. DON´T  use black. Anything black on your eyebrows is a big no no! Its unnatural and very harsh on your face.
DO- choose a shade of brown instead. 

2. DON´T over pluck your eyebrows. Thick eyebrows are in fashion at the moment and years of over plucking might result to hair loss. 
INSTEAD - if you are not sure about shaping your brows, find a professional who will show you how to do it.

3. DON´T shave! Shaving is for your other parts of the body but not your brows. The skin near your eyebrows is very thin and you might end up cutting yourself. 
DO try out other hair removing options like threading, waxing or tweezing. This way they´ll be pulled out from the root. 

4. DON´T make your eyebrows uneven when plucking or shaping them. 
INSTEAD if you have sparse or uneven shape use a pencil, powder and eyebrow gel to make them perfect.

5. DON´T draw your eyebrows too long on the tale. This is a bit extreme but your eyebrows and the hair line should not be connected. 

6. DON´T have double eyebrows. We are born with two so lets leave it like that...

7. Having colorful eyebrows. Unless you´re full time job is being a clown or you are visiting a carnival, it is not a fashion statement to have blue, red or pink brows. They should not express your artistic soul.

I´m gonna finish off with some eyebrow mistakes I found on the internet. 

As with everything else in this world you need to take care of your new extensions to make them last longer and stay beautiful. 

1. Wash them! This is the most important point. Best way to wash off your make up is to use foam make up removers. You can buy them at the salon. Unfortunately if you don´t wash them properly, you will have dirt building up on them which will brake the bond of adhesive (I´m not even gonna go into the lengths that I need do to get that makeup off when doing infills!)

2. Don´t pick on your lashes! I always say to my clients- don´t do anything that will hurt them! If you pick and rub your lashes you might pull out natural lashes prematurely. 

3. When you use make up: that includes eyeliners and other eye-makeup, wash them afterwards. 
Don´t use any cotton pads or makeup wipes to remove it. The fiber will get stuck in them and again you might pull the extensions.

4. Brush them! Specially when you have volume lashes. We would like them to stay soft and fluffy as long as possible. Brush them every time after they have gotten wet. 

5. Don´t use any make up, creams or anything else on lashes which has oil in them. Oil brakes the bond of the adhesive and they might come out prematurely.

6. Don´t get scared if you see some of the extensions coming off. Its normal and good! Your lashes are naturally shedding and when they fall out, new ones grow back (normal life cycle lasts for 60-90 days). This means that with the right application, you don´t need to have a break from extensions!

Otherwise, enjoy looking beautiful without putting any effort to it and love your lashes!
