Top 5 Myths About Eyelash Extensions: Debunked by Jo at The Aye Lash!
Hello, beautiful people! I’m excited to clear up some of the biggest myths about eyelash extensions. Whether you’re already a lash lover or considering your first set, there’s a lot of confusing info out there. Let’s get real here so you can feel confident and informed about your lash choices!
Myth #1: Eyelash Extensions Damage Your Natural Lashes
Let’s start with the BIG one! Many people worry that getting extensions will leave their natural lashes damaged or sparse. But here’s the truth: when applied correctly by a trained lash artist (like moi!), extensions should not harm your natural lashes. We have many happy clients who return for infills or to have their extensions soaked off and wee see their natural lashes remain intact. At The Aye Lash, we always use proper techniques and follow the right application process to protect your natural lashes. It’s a super intricate skill.
> Tip: Keeping up with regular infills and gentle aftercare will keep your natural lashes healthy and strong!

Myth #2: Lash Extensions Are High Maintenance
Not a chance! Some folk think getting extensions means adding tons of steps to their daily routine. In reality, lash extensions can actually reduce your morning routine! Say goodbye to mascara and curling – your lashes are ready to go 24/7. Yes, you’ll want to brush them gently each day and avoid certain products (like oily cleansers), but other than that, they’re very low maintenance.
> Bonus: Think of extensions as a beauty investment that gives you a glam look with minimal effort!

Myth #3: Extensions Are Only for Dramatic Looks
While lash extensions can definitely deliver a bold, voluminous look, they certainly don’t have to be dramatic. Our Signature Aye Lash Express is our most sought after, in-demand treatment. It’s only a one-hour eyelash extension set so will never look too full.

Myth #4: You Can’t Wash Your Face with Extensions
Nonsense. A common concern is that you’ll have to tiptoe around your lashes and avoid washing your face. Not true! You can clean your lash extensions regularly to keep them looking fresh and prevent any build-up. Using a gentle, lash-safe cleanser is all you need - a simple micellar water works.

Myth #5: Lash Extensions Are Painful to Apply
If you’ve never had eyelash extensions before, you might imagine the process involves some discomfort. But rest assured – getting lash extensions is a painless experience! You’ll lie down, close your eyes, and many of my clients even drift off to sleep during their appointment. Other clients like to blether and that’s cool with me too. The application process is soothing, especially when I brush those lashes. If you know, you know!
> Good to Know: If you ever feel anything unusual during your appointment, always let your technician know. Your comfort is my top priority at The Aye Lash!

Eyelash extensions can be a beautiful, low-maintenance way to enhance your look without damaging your natural lashes. As long as they’re applied by a qualified technician and maintained with a bit of gentle aftercare, your extensions should stay fabulous.
