The Lashe Technique

The Lashe® Technique is our company’s contribution to the eyelash extension industry. The technique has been in development since 2007 and its main purpose is to learn how to attach extensions to eyelashes safely, reliably, with precision and artistry, adapted to one’s own facial characteristics.

The semi-permanent technique involves attaching a single synthetic fiber to a natural eyelash using a bonding agent. In other words, one single extension is placed on one of your individual natural eyelashes.

The results are amazing and … you won’t believe your eyes!

You will have an instant volume with long, luscious lashes. Best of all, our extensions are so natural that no one will be able to tell they’re not yours. To maintain the look, Re-Lashe appointments are necessary every three to three and a half weeks to replace the lashes that have shed or outgrown naturally.

Release your inner diva and see how you can always look vibrant, young, and sexy!

The Lashe Adhesives – best performing, 4-6 week hold!

The adhesives were in development for over two years and salon tested for nine months to phenomenal professional and client reviews. There have been many benefits engineered into them, and what we can say is that they are far different than any other product on the market. We developed three adhesives for eyelash extensions; all three are medical grade and are produced in an FDA-certified facility in the USA.

The Process

Lay back, relax and get ready to be pampered. Don’t worry if you fall asleep as most of our clients do.

Your appointment begins with your arrival and consultation. Your natural lashes and goals are assessed. Post consultation, your stylist will lead you to our serene lash environment. We ask that you arrive with clean lashes without mascara. If you do arrive with mascara, cleansing will take away from your appointment time. If you arrive early, a cleanser can be provided to you.

You will lay down on our state-of-the-art Lydia Sarfati beds that are also covered in 4 and ½ inch memory foam. They are also heated and a plush throw will be given to you. It’s the closest thing to resting on a cloud as you can get!

Once you are relaxed and your lashes are cleaned, the appointment begins. Your highly trained and skilled stylist does all the work from here. Your natural lashes are individually separated one by one and a single extension is applied to your natural lashes. You will not feel a thing during the process. A full set appointment takes approximately 2 to 2.5 hours and a full set of genuine mink lashes is approximately 3 hours in duration. The Salon is a quiet zone and due to the nature of your application, we ask that you do not carry on a conversation during your appointment as the stylist needs your eyes to be relaxed. Do speak up if you are uncomfortable in any way.

After your lashes are completed, you will emerge with a full set of wonderful lashes. To maintain the full appearance of your extensions, a 1-hour appointment is necessary about once every 3 to 4 weeks.

Enjoy your new lashes!
