Frequently Asked Questions - Eyelash Extensions
What are eyelash extensions?
At Live Love Lash we use premium quality silk eyelashes which come in a variety of lengths, thicknesses and degrees of curl. They will give you a darker, fuller lash line without the need for mascara. They feel weightless - you won't even notice you are wearing them!
What is the process of getting eyelash extensions?
The application process is very relaxing. You are lying down on a massage table with a plush blanket and pillow with your eyes closed during the entire process. Most clients end up falling asleep! Your eyelash technician will glue one lash extension to one of your natural lashes one at a time with medical grade adhesive. When your natural lash sheds, the extension will fall out with that lash.Your initial full set can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the client.
How do I maintain my eyelash extensions?
To maintain a full appearance, it is recommended to get a refill every 2-3 weeks. Fills are $50.00 and take approximately 30 - 45 minutes.
Do eyelash extensions ruin your natural lashes?
The application of eyelash extensions, when applied properly by a trained professional, will not cause hair loss, nor will it cause eyelashes to fall out. Your natural eyelashes have a shedding cycle of 3-5 weeks.
Can I get eyelash extensions if I am going on vacation?
Yes! Eyelash extensions are perfect for going away on vacation. No need to worry about mascara running down your face! Eyelash extensions will allow you the freedom of looking beautiful without having to spend the time every morning applying mascara.

Frequently Asked Questions - Laser Hair Removal
Does Laser hurt?
This is a common question for many people. They fear that the laser treatment will be painful. The laser we use features contact cooling and tends to neutralize the hot flash you typically feel with laser treatments. The majority of patients describe the feeling as a quick hot flash, or like a rubber band snap. The cooling piece can be left over the treatment area to make it more comfortable. Of course, everyone tolerates pain differently ‒ but laser treatment is far more comfortable than either waxing or electrolysis. The first treatment tends to be the least comfortable, but as you get less hair / brown spots, the treatments get more and more comfortable. The hot sensation that you feel is the laser hitting the pigment in your hair & spots. The less pigment = less heat.
How many sessions will I need?
Every individual treatment plan is different and this question can be more accurately discussed in your free consultation. In short for hair removal 5-10 treatments is the average amount of sessions needed. Hair grows in 3 cycles: Anagen, Catagen & Telogen. Laser hair removal only targets the hair in the Anagen phase (growing phase) because the hair is connected to a blood supply. Because of this you need to receive treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart to successfully target all hair in this growing phase. While laser hair removal is extremely effective, it will not eradicate all hair growth permanently due to many factors. Over time, you may see signs that hair is starting to return. For this reason, it’s a good idea to plan for a touch-up a few times a year to maintain the benefits of the original treatment.
What is required pre-treatment?
Prior to laser treatments, it is best to avoid the sun where you will be receiving treatment. Do not wax, tweeze, or have electrolysis treatment 4 weeks before laser hair removal treatment to disrupt the follicle. Shaving is okay, and please come to your appointment with the area you want to be treated clean shaven. Do not use any skin irritating products 3 days prior to treatment. Do NOT use photosensitive drugs at least 7 days prior to your treatment. Do not tan, or apply sunless tanning products to your skin 4 weeks prior to treatment to avoid complications. Please avoid using lotion on the area the day of your treatment.
What is required post-treatment?
Following your hair removal treatment, the area can be tender, slightly red or swollen. This will usually disappear within 24 hours. Be gentle with your skin the first 24 hours, no extremely hot showers, and pat rather than rub dry. Apply ice or cold compresses to the treated area to help with any discomfort you might feel. Pure aloe vera gel is also very soothing. For facial treatments, apply SPF 30 if you will be in the sun. Following your treatments, please avoid anything that excessively raises your body temperature for the first 48 hours, no saunas or jacuzzis. Do not irritate your treated skin, do not pick or scratch at the skin. Please avoid additional hair removal products other than shaving, and please do not exfoliate for about a week. Around 10-14 days after your hair removal session, the treated hairs will begin to shed and fall out, this is completely normal.
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment (melanin) seen in the hair bulb under the skin. The laser is a specific wavelength that safely and effectively targets and kills the hair. The light is absorbed by the pigment in your hair, which effectively disables the hair follicle. The laser only works on hair that is actively in the growing phase and at any given time about 1/3 of the hair is in this phase. This is why a serious of treatments are scheduled 4-6 weeks apart to effectively target all hair.
