Top Spots For Eyelash Extensions In Philadelphia

Eyelash extensions are not the same as false eyelashes. So-called false eyelashes generally require adhesive be applied to the wearer's natural lashes; they are not designed for overnight or long-term care. Eyelash extensions are commonly manufactured using natural hair fibers such as mink, or a synthetic fiber, such as synthetic mink. Eyelash extensions, if properly applied, may last for weeks, and with regular fills, can last indefinitely. The fills replace lashes that are shed naturally. Once applied, the lashes do not require daily maintenance or glue. It takes from one to two hours for the initial process. As with any cosmetic service, research the company, its services, costs, warranties and reputation before choosing an eyelash extension service.
