You'll have a range of options to choose from, whether you're looking for a subtle, natural look or a more dramatic, voluminous style. The goal is to give you the beautiful, customized lashes you desire.

Classic lashes are applied one by one. Volume lashes indicates a fan of multiple lashes applied on each natural lash. Volume lashes are perfect for women who have sparse lashes or want a thick glam look.
Note: A fan of one Volume lashes is more lightweight than one Classic lash which ensures comfortable wear.

Our eyelash extensions are applied individually to your natural eyelashes using a medical-grade formaldehyde-free adhesive, leaving a tiny space away from your eyelid, and extensions NEVER touching your skin. Mini Beauty Eyelash carry eyelash extensions in different lengths, thicknesses, and curls, so the results can vary from very subtle and natural to very noticeable and dramatic.

No, if the eyelash extensions are applied correctly and you do not rub your eyes or tug at the extensions you will not lose your own lashes, but remember your natural lashes do shed every 30-120 days (according to proven studies) depending on their growth and shedding cycle. Mini Beauty Eyelash lash technicians are trained in properly applying and removing eyelash extensions.

There are many factors that can affect eyelash extensions retention, such as aftercare, client's hair quality, weather, client’s activity, day-to-day routine, lifestyle, skin type, etc. Most of our clients’ lashes can last more than 4 weeks with good care. As your natural lashes go through their growth cycle, some extensions may naturally shed, and new ones will need to be added to maintain the desired look. Mini Beauty Eyelash recommended to get a lash touch up every 2-3 weeks to maintain the fullness and length of your eyelash extensions.

• Do not get the eyelash extensions wet for the first 24-48 hours after your appointment.
• Avoid using oil-based makeup or makeup removers or any other oil-based products.
• Keep out of any steam rooms, saunas, swimming pools to give the adhesive sufficient time to bond to the natural lash.
• Avoid rubbing your eyes or tugging your lashes. Constantly rubbing your eyes or cleaning them will certainly decrease the longevity of your eyelash extensions.
More lashes care tips

No, eyelash extensions are not harmful. In fact, Eyelash extensions are considered a safer alternative to mascara.

Eyelash extensions are better than applying mascara because they enhance the look of your natural lashes, making them appear fuller, thicker, and longer without the need for any makeup. Mascara can be messy and time-consuming to apply, and it often clumps, smudges, or runs. Eyelash extensions, on the other hand, are a low-maintenance option that lasts longer and provides a more natural and dramatic look.

Mini Beauty Eyelash technicians use medical-grade adhesive solely made for professional eyelash extensions. Our medical-grade adhesive is formaldehyde-free.

Eyelash extensions are painless. Most clients feel comfortable enough to fall asleep during the procedure. In rare cases, you may expect a small amount of discomfort if you open your eyes, so we recommend keeping your eyes closed throughout the procedure and not using your phone.

Mini Beauty Eyelash recommend clients come in for eyelash refill every 2-3 weeks. Clients who prefer to maintain a very full look come in on a weekly basis.

We do not recommend removing the lash extensions by yourself as you may pull out your own lashes while doing so. It is better to schedule an appointment to have them professionally removed with a special removing solvent. You may also wait for your natural lash cycle to complete and have the extensions fall off naturally.

The procedure can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour and 45 minutes depending on the service you choose.

We do not recommend wearing mascara since it is very difficult to remove from the extensions without pulling at your natural eyelashes. If you prefer to wear makeup, we recommend using oil-free products and avoiding mascara on the extensions themselves. When removing makeup close to the eye area while wearing eyelash extensions, please be gentle and use oil-free removers.

You can wear contacts, but your eyes may feel dry or irritated with contact lenses kept in during lash application since your eyes must be kept closed for the entirety of the eyelash appointment.

Yes, appointments are required for eyelash extension services. We cannot guarantee accommodation for walk-ins, so it's best to schedule an appointment in advance. This ensures that you receive dedicated time with our technicians and allows us to provide the best possible service. Please schedule an appointment and honor your appointment time to avoid long waits and to ensure quality lash application.

Before your eyelash extension appointment, please do not wear any eye makeup to your appointment, especially eyeliner and mascara. When removing makeup around the eyes, please use oil-free products and avoid using any moisturizers, sunscreen, and removers that have oil-based formulas. Lashes must be clean for the adhesive to bond properly.

We do advise to minimize the chance of wetting the extensions for the first 48 hours of wear. After that 48-hour period, the adhesive used to apply your eyelash extensions is secure enough to allow you to get right back to your routine. However, keeping away from extensive contact with steam such as in saunas or certain facials is recommended since it can begin to loosen the bond. The adhesives are waterproof but the hair shafts absorb water which may loosen the adhesive bond.

To ensure the best possible results, we do not perform refill services on work that was not done with us. Mixing different adhesives or materials from different salons can lead to undesired outcomes or potential reactions. Instead, we are happy to assist you in removing your existing extensions and applying a new fresh set that meets our high standards. This way, Mini Beauty Eyelash can guarantee a seamless and satisfying experience for you.

Very few people can develop an allergic reaction to the adhesive. In such a highly unlikely event, we would recommend scheduling an appointment to get your lashes removed as soon as possible. Please be advised that we do not cover doctor's visits.

No, we do not recommend using an eyelash curler with eyelash extensions. Curling your lashes with an eyelash curler can break the bond between the extensions and your natural lashes, potentially causing damage. The extensions are designed to provide a curled and voluminous look without the need for additional curling.
