One recent client said, "The service was smooth from start to finish. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a clean, welcoming lash spot with great vibes and quality work!" During your visit, we’ll guide you through everything you need to know about preparing for your appointment and handling post-application care. So, let's dive into the essential details!

What to Do Before Your First Appointment

Preparing for your appointment is a breeze. We recommend coming in with clean lashes, no mascara or heavy makeup. Additionally, if you have any allergies or sensitivities, let us know ahead of time, so we can accommodate you perfectly. As one of our clients mentioned, "Great customer service... they were very nice and worked with me to get a beautiful result." This allows us to tailor everything to your needs and helps us create the most comfortable experience for you.

What Happens During Your Session

When you arrive, we’ll discuss your desired look before getting started, which puts many first-timers at ease. Then we’ll guide you to a comfortable chair in a private area where you can relax. The process begins with cleansing your lashes, followed by the gentle application of extensions that are tailored to your unique style. Many clients even fall asleep, finding it to be a soothing experience. One happy client shared, "I loved my experience here! The tech was super gentle and took her time to make sure my lashes came out exactly how I wanted. They look full, clean, and so natural." After the lashes are applied, we’ll take a moment to ensure you’re happy with your new look!

"The staff was extremely friendly, professional, and made me feel at ease throughout the appointment. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for quality service and a relaxing experience."

Post-Appointment Care for Long-Lasting Lashes

After enjoying your new lashes, it’s important to follow our aftercare tips to maintain their beauty. Avoid getting them wet for the first 24 hours, and always use oil-free products around your eyes. Regular maintenance is also key; we usually suggest scheduling refill appointments every two to three weeks to keep your lashes looking their best. Clients often report their lashes feel lightweight and comfortable, like one client who exclaimed, "I love my lashes, they’re exactly what I wanted!" Following these simple steps will help you enjoy vibrant and beautiful lashes.

Insider Tips for Your Lash Experience

For an exceptional first visit, book your appointment at a time when you can spare at least 1.5 hours for a calm experience. The atmosphere at our Fordham studio is designed to make you feel welcome; we’ve had clients say, "I will definitely be coming back soon!" Treating yourself to lash extensions should feel indulgent and pampering. Lastly, it’s normal to want to check your lashes after they’re done; don’t hesitate to ask us if you have any questions about your new look!
