WHY CLIENTS MAY EXPERIENCE
RETENTION ISSUES
I take retention very seriously and always strive to provide high-quality lash application, proper isolation, and long-lasting results. However, lash retention is affected by many factors outside of the appointment itself.
COMMON REASONS FOR
LASH RETENSION ISSUES
1. NOT WASHING YOUR LASHES
Buildup, oil, make-up and dead skin can weaken the adhesive bond. Clean your lashes regularly with a lash safe cleanser.
2. SLEEPING ON YOUR FACE
Side or stomach sleeping creates friction against the pillow, causing lashes to bend, twist, or fall out prematurely.
3. RUBBING, PICKING,
OR PULLING
Touching or rubbing your eyes can loosen the adhesive and damage your natural lashes.
4. HEAT & STEAM
EXPOSURE
-Saunas
-Steam rooms
-Hot yoga
-Oven cooking
-BBQ grilling
-Excess hot showers
5. OILS AROUND EYES
Oils break down adhesive faster. Includes makeup removers, face oils, eye creams, suscreen, setting sprays, toners & more.
6. HORMONES &
MEDICATIONS
-Thyroid conditions
-Hormonal imbalances
-Pregnancy/Pospartum
-Birth control changes
-Certain medications
7. SUPPLEMENTS
Some supplements can inclease oil production or affect retention, including fish oil, vitamins. and hormone support suplements.
8. ALLERGIES, WATERY EYES, CRYING
Excessive tearing and eye irritation can weaken adhesive bonds and cause lashes to shed faster.
9. EXCESSIVE SWEATING
Heavy workouts, cardio, hot environments, and sweating can affect retention, especially during the first 24-48 hours.
10. STRESS
Stress can increase your natural lash shedding cycle, leading to a faster extensions fall out.
11. NATURAL LASH CYCLE
Your natural lashes continuously grow and shed. Loosing 2-5 natural lashes per day is normal.
12. POOR AFTERCARE
-Skipping lash washing
-Mascara on extensions
-Using cotton pads/
Q-tips
-Sleeping in makeup
-Brushing aggresively
MY RETENTION
GUARANTEE
I stand behind my work and the quality of my products
I guarantee my lashes will last
If there's a true adhesive issue, 80% of the lashes will typically shed within first 1-3 days.
If that happens, please contact me as soon as possible and I will gladly fix your lashes free of charge.
After the first 3 days, many outside factors can affect retention, and it becomes impossible to determine the exact cause of fallout.
Because of this, I can not guarantee that retenstion issues after 3 days are due to the adhesive itself.
My goal is always to help client achieve the best possible retention through proper application, education, and aftercare support.
