36 Comments You've seen your friend look amazing wearing them, and heard her raving about how great they are... And, for good reason! Something that seemed like a fad not so long ago has now become a beauty must. One thing we can happily say for sure is that lash extensions are here to stay! So, let’s answer your burning questions about this popular service.
Lash extensions will require regular maintenance, in line with your lashes' natural growth cycle. This maintenance will be called an “infill”, “refill”, “fill-in” or any number of other terms. This service is required to keep your lashes looking full and fluffy. Natural lashes shed just like the hair on your head. As you shed lashes, you are also shedding the attached lash extensions. Therefore, the lost lash extensions will be replaced by new, fresh ones. Extensions will be cleaned and groomed, and any loose lashes will be removed and replaced. This is all a normal part of the process.
Heard enough and ready to go and get your first full-set?!? You can find an eyelash extensions artist near you using the Artist Directory which features eyelash artist across the US and internationally.
This one's fairly self-explanatory. Lash artists who are using more expensive products are going to be charging more for their services to cover these costs. It's worth mentioning, however, that simply paying more doesn't mean you're guaranteed higher quality. So shop around and be informed.
All products in the kit are designed to keep eyelash extensions looking long, lush and lovely.Anything oily will wreak havoc on your lashes. Heat, humidity, and extreme cold all play a factor in how well your lashes hold up. Doing your part to keep your lashes squeaky clean, brushed out, and pretty will help determine how often you will need to schedule your refills. After care kits can cost around $25-$30 on average. This is a great investment for you if you are serious about your lash extensions. A satin pillowcase will help keep your lashes from being crushed. A sleep mask is also a great tool for those face sleepers. Sleep masks have indented areas for the eye area - this keeps you from laying on the lashes and flattening them as you sleep. The satin pillowcases are soft and slippery - they keep the lashes from getting tugged at with the cotton or cotton blend materials used in modern day bedding. Both items are a very good investment.
KeraCell Eyelash & Brow Boosting Serum is here to enhance and fortify visibly listless lashes and brows.If you have had an allergic reaction to the lash adhesive then you will need an alternative to lash extensions. Your lash artist can and should offer an alternative service for this very occasion. Strip lashes, also known as false lashes, may be a suitable option. Strip lashes are meant to be applied on a daily basis. They can be easy to apply, but are sometimes a bit trickier until you get the correct look and size that works for you. Strip lashes come in many looks from natural to the most dramatic and everything in between. Ask your lash artist to give you direction on which lashes would be suitable for you. I usually put them on my clients who cannot wear lash extensions after I remove the extensions. I have found that after wearing extensions my clients feel a bit bare if they leave without anything. They feel a little sad, and now have to resume the mascara part of their beauty routine.
I hope this has answered some of your questions on the cost, care and maintenance of the beauty treatment that is eyelash extensions! If you would like to know more about these topics, please ask away in the comments section below. We love to hear from you!

I’ve been getting my lashes done for the last couple months. The 1st time my lady did my lashes she charged me a 120 for classic. My refill was 65. Next time I went it was 80. Then the next time I went with 75. But I’m coming on a regular basis why does the price flags so much. She says it depends on how many lashes she has to put on. She is quite good but I think if I’m consistent with coming out F coming in the price should be consistent as well. Is this wrong Of me to think this way?
Hello,
thank you for sharing your information. The information helps really.

Hi Angeliz,
That doesn’t sound like the price for a full set of lash extensions. That sound like clusters or strip lashes.
The average cost of a full set is between $90-130.00
Anything less than that makes me wonder what they are actually offering.
Stop in and have a consultation. That way you know for sure.
Best of Luck to you!!
prices are so different and we are always arueing with people that go to lash stylists who charge 30. that is so ridicolous because those people always come back and ask for putting the lash extensions down because they have pain. one recommendation – before you go to a lash studio inform yourself with pictures and reviews and you will have a nice set of lash extensions.

Hi Dee,
Glad Girl has a retail location in the Los Angeles area. They can help you find the perfect lashes for you. If you aren’t in that area, Benefit Cosmetics has staff that provide customized lashes for your needs. There are many salons that can help you with that as well. Just a quick online search should help you locate a salon near you that would love to help you get comfortable with strip lashes. Good Luck fluttering those pretty lashes.
Hi Carol,
Lash Extension prices vary from place to place. Unfortunately, there are no standard set prices. Several years ago Glad Lash did a survey and what we found out was this:
A full set of extensions averaged between $89-$125 and fills averaged between $45-60. So this should be a starting point. You are lucky to be able to go that long between fills. You must take very good care of your extensions. Hopefully you will find a lash artist that does a great job and is in your price range.
This lady charges $25 to $20 for eyelashes extensions should I do it?
I have been getting my eyelashes done for about 4 years I do give my eyelahes a break now and again. As a flight attendant i need to look my best all the time. I have 3 seperate people different cities) who do my individual eyelashes. every 3 to 4 weeks. Yes they lash that long… I get a natural length. I pay 25$. and a 5$ tip. I was appalled to pay 150$ for lashes as mother of the bride. They lasted 5 days. Shop around and find a good salon eho uses good glue and doesnt charge you an arm and a leg. Most cities have affordable lashes.Vacation spots rip you off…
I would like to have strip lashes applied. Can you recommend a salon that sells and applied strip lashes to clients who do not want lash extensions?
Hi Mary,
Congratulations on your longevity in a very stressful career. Nursing is a very noble profession, however, you are never too old to do something you have a passion for. I would shoot for esthetics school, it’s shorter and will get you to your goal in short order. I would also check with your state and see if nurses can legally perform lash services. Some states have no regulations.
Best of luck to you in your venture!
Have been a nurse for 28 yrs and would like a change
At 68yrs old it is a little scary to change. I am checking into beautician schools to learn lashing. Do you think it’s too late or that I am too old to become a lasher?
You’re welcome, thanks for reading!
Thank you for the feedback! That really helps!
Hey Whitney,
Let’s answer some questions you may be having about your lash service.
It isn’t uncommon to lose a few lashes after your service. We shed up to 5 lashes per eye every day. So losing a few lashes the first day is not that unusual. The other thing I tell my clients is that we aren‚Äôt all that aware of lash loss until we have had a service. We become much more conscious of our lashes. I would never be critical anyone‚Äôs work unless it is just plain negligent. So I want to tread lightly here. We are all trained differently and just recently we have learned about washing lashes at the beginning of each service. Some lash artists will do a cleanse at the completion as well. This helps reduce the clients exposure to anything they may be allergic to and reduces the exposure to off gassing by the glue.
I do not wash every client at the beginning of the service. I have trained my clients to come with their lashes clean so I can spend my time actually lashing. I will use a primer on some clients if there are retention problems.
This is just a guideline and as we evolve in the industry, things will keep changing.
If you are noticing a lot of lash loss, then reach out to your technician and ask for a touch up and more clear after care instructions.
I hope this helps you and let us know how it goes!
I had my lashes done for the first time two days ago. I’ve already lost 4 that I’ve seen. I haven’t slept on my face, I didn’t wash my face for 24 hours afterwards, and haven’t done anything else contraindicated. I noticed the lady did not clean my lids/lashes beforehand, she did not put the pads under my eyes, but did put tape down. Is this normal to already have lost 4, and would it make a difference with how she prepped them, or lack thereof? Should I say anything to her if she did something improper? Thanks!
Make that 5 now. :/
Informative article! Thank you
Autocorrect apologize. If I’m consistent I feel the price should be consistent
