New Lash Clients
Congratulations on choosing the top care for your eyelashes! We are looking forward to having you in the salon and making your experience as pleasant as possible along with offering the industries most advanced techniques and products.
Please arrive with clean lashes and no eye makeup on the day of your appointment. Be sure that all traces of mascara, eyeliner, and eyeshadow are removed so that the best bond can occur during extension application. If you need to come with makeup still on, please come in 10 minutes early and use our cleanser to wash it off. Your lashes must be freshly cleansed before every appointment, even if you didn't apply makeup that day.
Know that your appoint time will last approximated 1-2 hours depending on your service and we advise not to drink too many liquids prior to arriving. Although we can stop application in order for you to use the restroom it is not ideal and can take time away from your service.
Also, please do not drink coffee or heavily caffeinated drinks before your appointment. The caffeine will make your eyelids "flutter", thus making it difficult to apply the extensions.
Please do not chew gum during your appointment. The chewing motion moves the temples which can make it difficult for our lash stylists to steady their hands.
Please be on time to your appointment! Your appointment time starts and ends at the time you booked, so if you're late it’s time taken away from lashes being applied.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Do:
Wash your lashes daily. Follow steps located on the back page to gently wash your lashes.
- Groom your lashes daily - You can brush your lashes with a disposable mascara wand avoiding the base of the lashes.
- Feel free to get your lashes wet as soon as you’d like after your appointment. No wait time is necessary.
- Schedule regular touch-ups. Typically every 2-3 weeks as necessary.
Don’t:
Use products on/near lashes that contain oil as it will break down the adhesive and cause premature loss of extensions. An eyelid primer is recommended if you tend to have oily skin.
- Curl your lashes with a manual eyelash curler. This can break your lashes.
- Pull or pick your lashes - This can cause your natural lashes to come out prematurely and cause both breakage and permanent damage to the hair follicle.
- Worry when you lose an extension - Extensions will fall out with its natural lash during its normal shedding cycle. Losing between 3-5 lashes per eye each day is considered normal.
Cleansing Steps for Lash Extensions
Step 1: If wearing eye makeup, first remove it using Lash Bath Cleanser. Be sure to use motions that pull the makeup away from the lashes (toward the temple) and not down into the lashes.
Step 2: Cleansing one eye at a time, apply Lash Bath directly onto lash cleansing brush. Work the cleanser and bristles along the lash line and in between the lashes to remove dirt, oil, and debris. Rinse with water and pat dry. Then repeat to other eye.

QUESTIONS:
What makes J. Lynn different from other eyelash extension salons?
At J. Lynn Beauty it is our top priority to keep your natural lashes healthy! Proper application is crucial in this process. Our staff is extensively trained and only are allowed to work on clients once they have completed our advanced certification course and meet all of J. Lynn’s standards for applying beautiful customized lash extensions.
What are semi-permanent eyelash extensions?
They are a single, naturally tapered, glossy synthetic lash attached to a single natural lash with a special adhesive.
What is the difference between the silk, mink and authentic mink?
100% Siberian Mink lashes are considered the "cream of the crop" in eyelash extensions. They are "butter soft" and look AMAZING. J. Lynn Beauty is very specific in only carrying 100% mink lashes that are from a cruelty free establishment. The hair is combed out of the animal, sanitized and treated so they are hypoallergenic.
Faux mink lashes and faux silk lashes are made from the same material, just with different coatings.
Faux mink have a semi-matte coating on them, resulting in a velvet look. Faux silk have a semi-gloss coating.
J. Lynn uses 100% mink, faux mink, and faux silk to create the best look for our clients.
How long do eyelash extensions last?
Natural lashes are constantly shedding and new ones are growing in their place. Extensions will fall out along with your natural lash when it is at the end of its growth cycle. As the new ones come in, they will need to have extensions applied to them. With regular touch-ups your lash extensions can last indefinitely.
Do extensions hurt?
The procedure is painless and quite relaxing; most fall asleep during the appointment time. When properly applied you should not feel the extensions at all. They are lightweight and feel completely natural. If you do feel any discomfort while wearing them, please call immediately to have them checked. Also call immediately if you experience any swelling, itchiness or redness on the eyelids. You may be allergic to the adhesive and need to have the eyelash extensions removed.
Will eyelash extensions damage my natural lashes?
When PROPERLY applied, they will not harm your natural lashes. When IMPROPERLY applied, they may be clumpy and have several natural lashes stuck together with the extensions. This can cause pain and irritation because of the different growth rates and stages of each lash. This can also cause damage to your natural lashes and cause premature lash loss and follicle damage. Applying lashes that are too long and/or too heavy for your natural lash to support will also cause premature lash loss, as well as thinning of the natural lashes.
Proper isolation, adhesive amount, extension weight and length for each natural lash are key to a safe and comfortable lash extension application.
How long does the procedure take?
The initial appointment it will depend on how many lashes you have applied, but typically will take 2 hours and includes a consultation. Fills typically take 60 to 90 minutes depending on the fill booked.
Can I curl them?
There is no need to curl them. The extensions have a beautiful curl already. Do not use a mechanical lash curler, tint or perm them. Metal eyelash curlers will break the bond of the extension to the natural lash and can also damage your natural lashes.
Can I wear mascara with them?
There really is no need to wear mascara. The extensions will add length and volume to your lashes. But if you must, you can wear mascara meant specifically for lash extensions on the tips of the extensions. This mascara is available for sale in our salon. Never use waterproof or extended-wear mascara on eyelash extensions.
Can I swim with them?
Yes, you can swim, exercise, sauna and spa in moderation. Excessive exposure to heat, steam and water may weaken the bond of the adhesive and cause some of the extensions to come off prematurely, or in some cases weaken the curl of the extensions. Do not swim or sauna for 48 hours after application. Avoid getting them wet for 24 hours after application. Prolonged exposure to chlorine from pools or hot tubs may reduce your retention.
How often do I need touch-ups?
With proper care and maintenance, touch-ups are needed every 2-4 weeks to replace the lashes that have shed.
What do I do if I want the eyelash extensions removed?
Do not pick or pull them off. Do not attempt to remove them yourself. You must have a trained professional remove them with a specially formulated adhesive remover. Pulling or picking the extensions off can result in the natural lash being pulled out or damaged.
