Pre-cut lash strips vs studio lashes

    For some time now, eyelash extensions have become a monthly beauty routine for many women. Once you get used to looking in the mirror after having permanent lash extensions, you will become addicted to the confidence boost that lash extensions give you.

How long does eyelash extensions take?

    Compared to regular lash strips that have to be reapplied every day, the advantage of permanent lash extensions is that you can wake up in the morning looking fresh, full-faced, and without having to worry about eye makeup for a while. Of course, this can save you a lot of time in the morning. However, professional lash extensions in a studio are also very time-consuming. A treatment usually takes 1.5 to 3 hours, and then you have to spend this time every 3 weeks to attach new lashes or fill in any gaps that appear.

    In contrast, you can save a lot of time by applying pre-cut lash strips or lash extensions below your natural lash line. This sounds unusual at first glance. Under your own lashes? Lash strips are usually glued to your own lashes. This is true, but it has a big disadvantage, which is that you can always see the lash strip, whether it is clear or black. Especially when you close your eyes and look down. Although it sounds complicated at first, with a little practice, applying pre-cut eyelash extensions is no more difficult than gluing on eyelash strips. It has one big advantage: you can’t see them at all! Eyelash extensions are attached to your natural eyelashes, and when you look at your eyes from above, you can’t see the eyelash extensions at all. This gives you the look and feel of professional eyelash extensions – both thicker lashes and a natural look – but takes less time. Once you’ve done it a few times, you’ll be able to apply eyelash extensions in about 15 minutes.

How long do eyelash extensions last?

    Pre-cut eyelash extensions are placed just below your natural lash line for 5-7 days, after which you should remove them and wear new ones. Of course, this is shorter than professional eyelash extensions, which last up to three weeks, but who doesn’t know the spidery look of eyelash extensions before the next refill? They look so beautiful right out of the studio, and then individual lashes gradually fall off. Gaps appear, and there’s nothing you can do about it; you have to wait for your next appointment. But if you’re your own lash stylist and apply your own lashes at home, you don’t have to wait for anything or anyone. Even if a piece comes loose, you can reattach everything you need yourself, so you don’t have to run around like a ripped chicken.

How much do eyelash extensions cost?

    This one was quickly checked off. Depending on the method, professional eyelash extensions cost between 100 and 300 euros per month.

Will eyelash extensions harm my eyelashes?

    Permanent eyelash extensions done in a studio can last up to 3 weeks and obviously require a stronger adhesive than charmeLashes’ eyelash extensions, which are designed to last up to a week. This corrosive adhesive also produces burning fumes, which is why professional eyelash extensions can only be done in the studios of trained eyelash stylists and with the customer’s eyes closed. Charmelash’s eyelash glue, on the other hand, is suitable for non-commercial use and can be used by non-professionals, is not aggressive or comparable to super glue, and can be safely used on the open eye and under the natural lash line to secure the lashes to the eyelash extensions, as it does not produce stinging fumes. And it does not harm your own lashes, you can easily remove them again. To do this, apply the remover under and over your lashes and allow it to work briefly (20-30 seconds is enough). Gently brush the eyelash extensions off your lashes or gently push them down with your fingers. Once you have removed the eyelash extensions, you can easily comb out the adhesive residue from your own lashes using a fine micro brush. This means your natural lashes will not be damaged or torn.

Conclusion

    Ultimately, this is probably a matter of taste. If you don’t mind booking a professional eyelash extension appointment every three weeks, and are happy to spend the time and happy to spend the money, then permanent eyelash extensions in a studio are the best solution.

    But if you prefer to beautify yourself at home, like to make time for yourself, enjoy eyelash extensions, and also want to save yourself a lot of time and money, then pre-made eyelash extensions are for you! Give them a try.
