Everything You Need to Know About Eyelash Extensions

Aesthetic Lash Therapy Australia

Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent fibers — usually made of synthetic, silk, or mink materials applied to your natural lashes using a safe, professional-grade adhesive. Unlike strip lashes or mascara, they last for weeks and provide a more natural yet enhanced look.

At Aesthetic Lash Therapy, we offer best eyelash extensions in Perth, WA, including Classic, Hybrid, and Volume styles, as well as lash lifts, tints, and cluster lashes. Our expert lash artist provides customized care to create stunning, natural-looking lashes tailored to your style.

Types of Eyelash Extensions

There are three main styles of lash extensions:

  • Classic Lashes – One extension applied to each natural lash for a natural, mascara-like look.
  • Hybrid Lashes – A mix of Classic and Volume lashes, creating a fuller yet textured look.
  • Volume Lashes – Multiple lightweight extensions applied to one lash, giving a fluffy, dramatic finish.

How Long Do Lash Extensions Last?

With proper care, eyelash extensions usually last 4 to 6 weeks. However, since natural lashes shed on a cycle, most people book a refill every 2–3 weeks to keep them looking full and fresh.

The Application Process – What to Expect

  1. Consultation – Your lash artist will discuss your desired style and check your natural lashes.
  2. Preparation – Your eyes will be cleaned, and under-eye pads will be applied.
  3. Application – The lash artist carefully applies extensions to each lash using tweezers and adhesive.
  4. Final Touch – Once the lashes are set, you’ll get aftercare tips.

The process is painless—you’ll be lying down with your eyes closed, often relaxing so much that many clients take a nap during the appointment.

Aftercare Tips for Longer-Lasting Lashes

To make your extensions last and keep them healthy:

  • Avoid getting them wet for the first 24 hours.
  • Do not use oil-based makeup or skincare products near your eyes.
  • Clean lashes regularly with a lash-safe cleanser.
  • Avoid rubbing or pulling your lashes.
  • Sleep on your back if possible to prevent crushing your lashes.

Are Eyelash Extensions Safe?

When applied by a trained and certified lash technician, eyelash extensions are safe. The adhesive is designed for use near the eyes, and extensions won’t damage your natural lashes as long as you follow proper aftercare and avoid picking at them.
