FAQ

Each lash style offers its own unique benefits, and the best choice depends on your desired look and lifestyle.

• Classic lashes are ideal for clients who prefer a natural, subtle enhancement. They provide a clean and effortless look by applying one extension to each natural lash.
• Volume lashes are perfect for those who love a fuller, more dramatic effect. They involve applying multiple ultra-light lashes to a single natural lash, requiring more time and advanced technique.
• Hybrid lashes offer a balanced mix of both—typically a 70:30 ratio of volume and classic. They combine the softness of classic with the depth and fullness of volume for a textured, wispy result.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The right style for you depends on your personal preference, natural lash condition, time availability, and budget. During your consultation, we’ll help guide you to the perfect set based on your goals and lifestyle.

When applied correctly and cared for properly, eyelash extensions do not damage your natural lashes. Damage typically occurs only from poor application techniques or neglecting aftercare.

At MIMO Lash, we prioritize lash health by tailoring every treatment to your natural lash condition. Our certified lash artists follow safe practices to ensure your natural lashes remain healthy and strong—before, during, and after your extensions.

Eyelash extensions typically last 2 to 4 weeks, depending on your natural lash cycle and how well you care for them. During that time, your lashes will continue to look full and fluffy. Once they begin to thin out or lose shape, it’s time to schedule a touch-up.

Several factors affect how long your extensions will stay looking their best:

• Your natural lash growth cycle
• The style of extensions you chose (classic, hybrid, or volume)
• The type of adhesive used
• Your aftercare routine

At MIMO Lash, we’ll guide you through proper care to help your lashes last as long as possible between fills.

With the right care, your lash extensions can stay fuller and fluffier for longer. Here’s what you should and shouldn’t do to maximize retention and keep your lashes looking beautiful between appointments.

✅ What to Do

• Clean daily with a lash-safe cleanser
  Use an approved lash cleanser to remove oils, makeup, and debris. Clean lashes = longer-lasting lashes.
• Brush your lashes gently
  Use a clean mascara wand daily to fluff and align your extensions, especially after washing your face.
• Be gentle and mindful
  Treat your lashes with care—small daily habits go a long way toward retention.

❌ What to Avoid

• Heavy eye makeup & mascara
  Skip the eyeliner overload and avoid mascara entirely. These can break down the adhesive and weigh down your lashes.
• Getting lashes wet in the first 48 hours
  Avoid hot water, steam rooms, swimming pools, and face washing with warm water for the first 48 hours after your appointment.
• Rubbing, pulling, or picking at your lashes
  Hands off! Touching your extensions can cause premature shedding and irritation.
• Sleeping face-down
  Try sleeping on your back or use a lash-friendly eye mask to protect your extensions overnight.
• Exposure to heat
  Stay away from open flames, ovens, or saunas. High heat can cause synthetic lashes to melt or lose shape—hello takeout night!

MIMO Lash Tip: Consistent aftercare makes all the difference. With proper maintenance, your lashes can stay gorgeous and full for weeks—no filter needed!
