Questions
Everything you'd ask Amy if you called right now.
Short answers and real prices.
Before your first set
What if I don't know which set I want?
Most people don't, and you don't need to. Every appointment starts with Amy looking at your own lashes, your eye shape and how you actually live, then picking the curl, length and weight from what she sees. That consult is part of every appointment and it costs nothing. If you booked something heavier than your lashes can carry, she'll say so before anything goes on. Classic is the quietest, 3D-Hybrid sits in the middle, 9D Volume is the fullest.
What's the difference between Classic and Volume?
Classic is one extension on one lash of yours, so you get length and definition. Volume means several ultra-fine extensions fanned onto a single lash of yours: six on a 6D set, nine on a 9D. Those fibers are much thinner than a Classic fiber, so a nine-fan weighs about what one thicker Classic extension weighs. Density is what changes between the sets. The weight sitting on each lash barely moves.
How long does an appointment take?
It depends on the set. Tell Amy which one you want when you book, and she'll tell you how long to leave for it.
Do I need a patch test?
If adhesive, makeup or medical tape has ever set your eyes off, say so when you book and you'll get a patch test first. Same if your eyes are sensitive at the best of times. Better a small extra step now than a rough week afterwards.
Living with them
What damages a natural lash, and what doesn't
-
How it should sit
One extension on one lash, glued clear of the skin. As your lash grows, it carries the extension with it.
-
Glued to the skin
The glue touches the lid. As the lash grows, the extension stays put and the skin gets pulled.
-
Glued across two lashes
Two lashes stuck together. The faster one grows and drags the slower one out early, root and all.
Do eyelash extensions damage your natural lashes?
They can, if they're put on badly. Lashes get damaged when an extension is stuck to skin, or when it bridges two lashes and pulls on both. Every extension here goes onto one lash of yours, and nothing's glued to your skin. The weight gets chosen at the start from what your own lashes can carry, and that's the part that protects them. Your lash sheds when it was always going to shed, and the extension leaves with it.
How often do I need a refill?
Most people come back every two to three weeks. You shed a few natural lashes a day with or without extensions, so a set thins out slowly rather than dropping off at once. Refills are priced by how much has grown out. Between 3 and 14 days it's $50 to $140 depending on your set, and between 15 and 27 days it's $60 to $150. Wait past 27 days and you'll pay full set price again.
Can I wear mascara with extensions?
You won't want to, and you're better off without it. Mascara clogs the fans, and waterproof is worse, because taking it off means rubbing and rubbing is what pulls extensions loose. If you want more drama, go up a set.
Can I still wear contact lenses? Can I swim? Can I go to the gym?
Yes, yes and yes. Keep them dry for the first day while the glue finishes curing, then shower, swim and sweat like normal. Chlorine, salt water and sweat shorten retention a little. Sleep on your face and they'll thin out faster, and oily skin does the same thing.
Practical
How do I get them removed?
Book a removal, $25. Professional remover dissolves the glue so the extensions slide off and your own lashes stay where they are. Don't pick at them and don't pull them off. That's the quickest way to lose your own lashes and it's completely avoidable.
Is the price on this site the price I pay?
For lashes, yes. Every set and every refill window is on the price list, and the consultation costs nothing. What you pay only moves with the set you choose and how much has grown out at a refill. For facial prices, give Amy a call.
Which facials do you offer?
Three of them: a Customized Facial, a Hydration & Glow Facial and a Clarifying Facial. Each one starts with a skin intake review, and Amy adjusts it to what your skin is doing that day. Call and she'll tell you what each one costs.
Do you take walk-ins?
No, every appointment is booked ahead. Amy works alone in one room, so when you get here the room is yours and nobody's waiting behind you. You get Amy every time, because there's nobody to hand you to.
Where exactly are you?
4297 Buford Dr, Ste 2C, Buford, GA 30518. The suite is just off Buford Drive, minutes from the Mall of Georgia, and it's a short drive from Sugar Hill, Suwanee, Flowery Branch and Lawrenceville.
