Classic Individual Eyelash Extensions Course

Our eyelash extensions training courses  teach you that eyelash extensions add length, thickness and fullness to  natural eyelashes. Synthetic single fiber polyester thread-like materials are applied to individual eyelashes to create a fuller, longer  look. The adhesive used is surgical-grade. Extensions come in various  lengths, colors and thicknesses, and can be worn during sleep, showering  and swimming. However, excessive exposure to oil can weaken adhesive  bond. Eyelash extensions differ from "fake" or "false" eyelashes in that  they are applied one extension to one lash. The procedure to attach the  extensions takes an average of one and a half to two hours for a full  set of extensions of roughly 30-80 lashes per eye. If properly applied  with medical grade adhesive, eyelash extensions are designed to bond to  one's natural eyelash.

 Our eyelash extensions training courses  teach you that eyelash extensions may last from two weeks to two months,  depending on the cycle of hair growth. Most people choose black lashes,  however, brown, red, green and purple are available. Mink lashes are  available, but most people for ethical and cost reasons, chose synthetic  lashes. Eyelash extensions have been around since the late 1990s, and  originated in Japan. Eyelash extensions are worn by celebrities such as  Nicole Kidman, Star Jones, Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, Jennifer  Love-Hewitt, Lindsay Lohan, Gwen Stefani, Lucy Liu, Naomi Campbell and  Liz Hurley. However, since the early 2000s, many salons have  started offering this highly demanded service. False eyelash strips, or  small groups of false eyelashes, are not considered to be "Eyelash  Extensions."

Our eyelash extensions training courses  also teach you that as hair grows out, it cycles and falls out  naturally, thus shedding the extension with it. Only qualified  individuals in Eyelash extensions application may legally apply eyelash  extensions to clients. The procedure for eyelash extensions differ from  each technician. The technique involves attaching a synthetic,silk or  mink eyelash extension to an individual eyelash on the client. The  selection of the natural lash to which the extension is to be attached  is a specialist task. It involves, carefully separating the natural  lashes with a fine point tweezer to reveal one healthy eyelash. The  eyelash extension is then dipped into medical grade adhesive and  attached to the natural eyelash. The process is repeated until all  eyelashes are covered. The eyelashes should last about three weeks, at  which point a re-lash or touch up may be done.

Prices range depending on location of salon and type of service offered. Generally the price is £65 to £85 per set  for a good quality set. Re-lash is usually £25 to £40.
