Lash Extensions

In a world where eyes are the focal point of our many facial expressions, the appeal of long lashes is undeniable. For those in search of a semi-permanent solution to enhance their natural lashes, lash extensions are probably right for you. When you book a consultation with us, we will walk you through everything you need to know about lash extensions, from application to maintenance, ensuring you’re well-versed so your look will last as long as possible.

The Allure of Lash Extensions

The art of lash extensions is not merely about making your lashes longer—it’s about amplifying and defining your unique eye shape to create an unforgettable look. Each lash extension application is customized, and carefully tailored to the client’s eye shape, natural lash line, and personal style preferences.

By adding length, volume, and curl, lash extensions can transform tired, short, and sparse lashes into a dramatic and eye-catching feature that requires minimal daily maintenance. They save precious time and eliminate the need for layers of mascara or haphazard curling routines. When crafted by the skilled technicians from Christina Clinic, lash extensions are virtually indistinguishable from natural lashes.

The Extension Process Explained

Before taking the plunge into the world of lash extensions, it’s essential to understand what the process entails. Typically, the procedure can be broken down into several detailed steps.

Step 1: Consultation and Design

The first step is a consultation with our trained technician, where you’ll discuss your desired outcome and any concerns you may have. Will your look be demure and natural, or bold and voluminous? This discussion lays the groundwork for the design that will frame your eyes and shape your face.

Step 2: Lash Extension Application

The application process itself involves the meticulous attachment of individual lash extensions to your natural lashes using a specialized adhesive. The procedure is virtually painless and extremely precise.

Step 3: Customization

Your technician will guide you through the customization process, where you can choose from various lengths and curls. The result is a bespoke set of lashes that accentuates your unique beauty.

Step 4: Post-Application Care

Maintaining your lash extensions is crucial. You’ll be advised to avoid oil-based products around the eye area, refrain from rubbing or tugging on your lashes, and brush them to prevent tangling. With proper care, extensions can last from two to six weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle.

Step 5: Touch-Up and Filling

To keep your extensions looking full and flawless, touch-up appointments are recommended every few weeks. During these sessions, your Christina Clinic technician will replace any extensions that have shed and maintain the consistency of your look.

Step 6: Safe Removal

When it’s time to part ways with your extensions, professional removal is paramount. Attempting to remove them at home can damage your natural lashes. A skilled technician will use an adhesive remover to dissolve the bond gently, ensuring your lashes remain healthy and strong.

Lash extensions offer a modern, semi-permanent solution to the age-old desire of looking great. They provide not only cosmetic enhancement but also a touch of luxury in the form of a personal spa day experience.

By understanding the application process, recognizing the value of customization, and committing to quality maintenance, lash extensions can become a staple in your beauty routine.

ALL ABOUT eyeLASH extensionS

How long do eyelash extensions last for?

Eyelash extensions typically last for about 6 to 8 weeks, which is the natural life cycle of an eyelash. However, to maintain the fullness and optimal appearance, it is recommended to have touch-ups, or ‘fills,’ every 2 to 4 weeks, as the extensions will shed with your natural eyelashes over time. The longevity of the extensions can be influenced by factors such as the individual’s eyelash growth cycle, the type of adhesive used, and how well they are cared for post-application. Proper maintenance and aftercare are crucial to extend the wear of your lash extensions.

Can you put mascara on lash extensions?

It is generally not recommended to apply mascara to eyelash extensions. The extensions themselves are designed to give your lashes a fuller, more voluminous look, eliminating the need for additional mascara. Applying mascara, especially waterproof formulas, can interfere with the adhesive bond of the extensions, potentially causing them to fall out prematurely. Additionally, the process of removing mascara can be harsh on the extensions and might damage them.

If you feel the need for mascara, ensure to use a water-based formula and apply it only to the tips of the extensions to avoid weakening the glue at the base. However, for the longevity of your lash extensions and to maintain their intended appearance, it’s best to avoid mascara altogether. If you have any concerns or specific requirements for your lash look, consult with your lash technician for personalized advice.

Is it worth it to get eyelash extensions?

Eyelash extensions can be a worthy beauty enhancement for many individuals, particularly for those looking for fuller, longer lashes without the daily need for mascara or curlers. They are a popular choice for special events and regular grooming. However, it’s important to consider the maintenance and potential risk of allergic reactions or damage to natural lashes. Deciding whether lash extensions are worth it will depend on your personal preferences, lifestyle, and the value you place on achieving your desired aesthetic with convenience.

For properly applied eyelash extensions by a certified professional, the benefits include:

Time saved during makeup routines
The appearance of fuller and longer lashes immediately
Increased confidence due to enhanced eye appeal

Nonetheless, it’s essential to assess the potential drawbacks such as:

Routine maintenance and touch-up appointments

The need for careful aftercare to avoid infections or premature falling out

Which is better: lash extensions or a lash tint and lift?

The choice between lash extensions and a lash tint/lift depends on your personal preference, desired maintenance level, and the look you’re aiming for. Lash extensions provide length, volume, and thickness by attaching individual lashes to your natural ones, offering a dramatic effect. They typically require upkeep every 2-3 weeks. A lash tint and lift involve dyeing the lashes to make them darker (like mascara) and lifting (curling) them for a more natural, wide-eyed look. This option is less maintenance-intensive and lasts about 6-8 weeks. Consider your lifestyle, budget, and the health of your natural lashes when deciding.

What Our Clients Are Saying

The best compliments are shared!

I had a BBL and MicroLaserPeel done at Christina Clinic. The office décor was so inviting, tasteful and relaxing. The new owner did my treatments. She was telling me the clinic is now woman and minority owned and they have lasers for all skin tones. She explained both procedures and what to expect during and after in such great detail. She took the time to discuss my face and customize my treatments. My skin looks amazing and I look much younger. Even my boyfriend noticed. I most definitely will be back.

I have had the best experience at Christina Clinic - especially with Betsy! Betsy is simply the best (however Lynn helped me too and was great and sweet too!). I am doing some laser hair removal and her knowledge, rapport/bedside manner, honesty with realistic expectations and skill is exactly what I want in a clinic. Every employee I connected with, from the front desk...to any other employee I passed by in the lobby were genuinely friendly. Their communication has also been amazing. I accidentally forgot an appointment (even though the sent a reminder text) and she knew the times that worked for me and was able to squeeze me in the next day. I HIGHLY recommend the Christina Clinic!

I came to Christina clinic for my upper lip hair and pimples on my face. I used to have a thick hair on my upper lip and a lot of pimples on my face. I was so embarrassed with my appearance. Then, I came to Christina clinic for Laser hair removal and Skin pen. I could see a great result since my first treatment. Now, I am almost done with my both treatments and feel satisfied. I would recommend this clinic for anyone who has the same problems.

I had been to a different laser hair removal clinic before and had disappointing results. I felt discouraged from laser hair removal clinics but when I came in for my consult appt at Christina Clinic I could instantly knew I came to the right place. From the very start I could tell they genuinely wanted to help get rid of your unwanted hair and werent just there to talk you into getting their packages. Betsy was absolutely fantastic and very attentive to how I was reacting to the treatment. She is super friendly, works around your schedule, and makes you feel comfortable asking questions, (overall awesome person!) thanks to her and the clinic, I saw significantly better results! The staff is extremely professional and kind, and i highly recommend checking them out for your laser hair removal needs:)

I visited the Christina Clinic almost ten years ago, and had an incredible experience. The staff were kind, very informed and experienced and always made me feel comfortable. I have very dark hair and olive skin, and from a very young age I was always self conscious and very aware of (what I thought was excessive as a kid) my darker ‘peach fuzz’ on my face. My eyebrows were thick and very usually (daily) required attention to keep them separate. Painful tweezing, waxing, shaving, the works… I’ve been incredibly pleased with the results, and after ten years, I’m going back to do it all again. … I love this place, and it’s changed my life.

I would highly recommend Christina Clinic! The staff is professional, knowledgeable, and very friendly, and the clinic is very clean and comfortable. I had cool sculpting with Betsy (I am very excited about my results) and she also did laser hair removal on me. Also, had Dysport done with Lynn who was quick and did a wonderful job! I will be returning soon for follow up treatments! They will take great care of you and recommend products to use to get the most from your treatments! You will be very happy with the service you receive at Christina Clinic!

I smoked cigarettes for years and my skin payed the price! Tricia has been doing micro needling on me and I have so much more confidence now! She also set me up with some products that leave my skin literally glowing. She's taken the time to educate me on the benefits of different products and why they would work best for me pertaining to my skin type and my insecurities. Since starting to see Tricia, I've had so many compliments on how great my skin looks now! I can't wait to try other services. I 100% trust her! The location is so clean and beautiful. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. I found my new home for my skin care. Thanks to Tricia, I'm a new woman!

I have been going to Christina Clinic for several years for many different treatments. It's always a lovely experience with great results.
