Question 1

How long do lash extensions last?

Accepted Answer

A full set lasts through your natural lash cycle, with infills every 2 to 3 weeks to replace lashes that have naturally shed and keep the set looking full.

Question 2

Will they damage my natural lashes?

Accepted Answer

When applied correctly by a trained professional and properly cared for, extensions do not damage your natural lashes. We apply one extension per natural lash at a safe weight and length.

Question 3

What are eyelash extensions?

Accepted Answer

Eyelash extensions are individual strands of synthetic fibers made to replicate a natural eyelash. When applied, they lengthen and thicken your own natural eyelashes. They are applied to each individual lash, one by one. With proper application, lash extensions look and feel completely natural.

Question 4

Are eyelash extensions safe?

Accepted Answer

During the procedure, our eyelash extension expert applies each extension to your own lashes one at a time. It should not hurt, though you may notice some slight tugging or pressure as each lash is applied. We use a low-fume glue that does not burn or sting your eyes. You may experience some slight stinging if you have extremely dry eyes or eyes that do not close properly.

Question 5

Can I use makeup on my eyelash extensions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as it is oil-free and very low in glycol or glycerin. These ingredients attack the glue, loosen the lash bond and cause extensions to fall prematurely. Please do not use mascara on volume or hybrid lashes. Regardless of brand, mascara makes volume fans snap shut, leaving lashes clumpy and stuck together. We cannot infill volume lashes that have had mascara applied to them.

Question 6

How do I remove makeup while wearing eyelash extensions?

Accepted Answer

Use a lash-safe makeup remover and cleanser. These products are gentle on the adhesive and will not cause premature shedding. Oil-based makeup removers and cleansers can cause the adhesive to lose its grip and lead to early lash loss.

Question 7

How do I choose the right style of eyelash extensions?

Accepted Answer

We offer three main styles to suit different looks and preferences. Classic Beauty: lashes similar to your natural ones in thickness, giving a well-defined, mascara-on look that is fuller and longer. Volume Glam: much finer lashes, often two to three times lighter than natural lashes, creating a full lash line that still looks very natural. Hybrid Charmer: a combination of classic and volume lashes for a beautiful, textured result. If you are unsure which style suits you best, book a free consultation and we will help you decide.

Question 8

How do I take care of my eyelash extensions?

Accepted Answer

Do not wet or dampen your lashes for 24 hours after your appointment. During that period the lash glue is still curing. Avoid steamy showers, baths, saunas, heavy gym sessions, rain and swimming. After 24 hours you are completely fine to carry on as normal. Do not rub or pull your lashes. The more you touch them with your fingers, the more oil and dirt you introduce to the area. If you are having a facial, let your therapist know you have extensions. Lashes do not mix well with steam, so they can usually adjust the treatment. Do not book a facial immediately after having extensions applied. Gently brush your lashes with a lash wand each morning to de-tangle and fluff them out. Avoid steam rooms and saunas. If you do hot yoga regularly, come in for infills more often to keep your lashes looking full.

Question 9

What are lash infills and how often do I need them?

Accepted Answer

Your natural lashes shed and renew on their own cycle, typically every 2 to 3 weeks. As old lashes fall, they take their extension with them, leaving small gaps. When the new baby lash is mature and strong enough to hold an extension, we fill it in at your infill appointment so your set always looks full.

Question 10

Why won't my eyelash extensions last?

Accepted Answer

The most common cause of early shedding is oily product use and being rough when cleansing. Try to cleanse gently but thoroughly. How long lashes last varies from person to person. Someone with drier skin wearing less eye makeup and a fuller set will typically get more wear than someone with oily skin, lots of eye makeup and a lighter set. Hormonal changes, certain medications like thyroid treatments or roaccutane, can also affect retention. Most people need an infill every 2 to 3 weeks, which is completely normal. If you want a lower-maintenance option, ask us about our Lash Lift and Tint or Eyeliner PMU services.

Question 11

How do I prepare for an eyelash extensions appointment?

Accepted Answer

Arrive with clean, makeup-free eyes. Remove all mascara beforehand as residue can prevent the extensions from bonding correctly. Avoid Vaseline or petroleum-based products around the eye area, and do not have your lashes permed within 2 to 3 months of your appointment. For the best results, keep the skin around your eyes clean and free of makeup and oil. Make sure all tools used on or around your eyes, such as tweezers and mascara wands, are clean before use.

Question 12

How much do eyelash extensions cost at Iconbrows?

Accepted Answer

A full set starts at CAD $120, tax included. Infills start from $60 and are recommended every 2 to 3 weeks to keep your set looking full. The exact price depends on the style you choose and the density you are after. Classic sets are the most time-efficient, while volume and hybrid sets require more hand-crafting and typically take a little longer. Book a free consultation if you are unsure which option suits your budget and look.

Question 13

What is the difference between classic, hybrid and volume lash extensions?

Accepted Answer

Each style delivers a different level of fullness and drama. Classic: one extension applied to each natural lash. Clean, defined, mascara-on look. Great if you want a subtle daily enhancement. Volume: a handmade fan of ultra-fine lashes applied to each natural lash. Creates a full, fluffy lash line. Ideal if your natural lashes are sparse or you want a more glam finish. Hybrid: a mix of classic and volume techniques. Adds texture and more body than classic alone without going full drama. A popular middle-ground choice. Not sure which suits you? Book a free consultation and we will help you find your perfect set.

Question 14

Can you swim, shower or work out with lash extensions?

Accepted Answer

After the first 24 hours the adhesive is fully cured and you are fine to shower, swim and exercise as normal. Avoid steam rooms and hot yoga as ongoing heat and humidity can shorten retention over time. When showering, try not to aim a strong jet of water directly at your lashes. After swimming, rinse your lashes gently with fresh water to remove chlorine or salt. Pat them dry softly and give them a quick brush with your lash wand. Sweat itself will not ruin your extensions, though heavy and frequent sessions can affect retention. If you train hard most days, plan your infills a little closer together to keep your set looking full.

Question 15

How should I sleep with eyelash extensions?

Accepted Answer

Sleeping on your back is the easiest way to keep your lashes in good shape overnight. Side sleeping can press extensions into the pillow and cause them to bend or shed faster on that side. If back sleeping isn’t comfortable for you, a silk or satin pillowcase is a great alternative. The smooth surface creates far less friction than cotton and helps your lashes glide rather than snag as you move in your sleep.

Question 16

Can I wear mascara with lash extensions?

Accepted Answer

With classic lashes you can use a water-based, oil-free mascara on the tips only if you want extra definition. Avoid applying it to the base of the extensions where the adhesive bond sits. With volume or hybrid lashes, mascara is not recommended. It collapses the handmade fans, causes lashes to clump together and makes it very difficult for us to infill the set properly at your next appointment. In practice most clients find they do not need mascara at all. One of the main benefits of extensions is waking up with lash-ready eyes every morning.

Question 17

Where is Iconbrows located? Do you have parking?

Accepted Answer

We are located in the Humber Bay Shores neighbourhood of Etobicoke, Toronto. If you are traveling from downtown Toronto, take the QEW highway toward the airport and exit at Lakeshore. You will arrive right in front of our building. If you are traveling toward downtown Toronto, take the QEW toward the city, exit at Park Lawn and turn right after Legion Road. FREE underground parking is available. Do not arrive late. Take a moment to calculate your drive time the day before your appointment. Out of respect for all clients, we may not be able to service late arrivals. Consider the traffic. Toronto traffic can be heavy during peak hours, so please factor that into your travel time.
