Why Safe Removal Matters
The eyelash extensions are applied using a strong adhesive attaching them to the natural lashes and can last several weeks. Pulling or peeling them will removable can harm your natural lash line and make them thinner, and it may take months to fix the loss.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Among the most common mistakes we witness are applying oil-based products heavily without performing thorough cleansing of the lashes, attempting DIY remedies such as steam or using tweezers and taking off lashes prematurely and not allowing the natural shedding to take its course. Any of those errors can weaken your lashes, or create extra tension on the hair follicles.
Another is that all lash extensions need to shed naturally. And while some will always fall out, if you wait too long, you will lose more than usual, leaving you with a patchy set of thin lashes. Booking a professional removal once your extensions start looking sparse, will ensure a clean removal and keep your natural lashes, healthy.
