I occasionally get asked if it is necessary to periodically take a break from lash extensions. �The answer is: No, unless you want to!

Because we are constantly shedding and growing new lashes, the lash supply is constantly renewing itself. �I’ve had clients who have maintained their lashes since I’ve started doing them (4+ years), and have had no negative effects. �As long as the appropriate extensions are used and that they are maintained correctly, you can have beautiful lash extensions indefinitely!

I have heard �people make a correlation between lash extensions and acrylic fingernail nail extensions numerous times, and the only similarity �is that we call the monthly maintenance “fill-ins” . �While acrylic nails pretty much destroy your natural nails and nail beds, lash extensions do not destroy your natural lashes or future lashes. �Again, if applied & maintained properly, your natural lash follicles continue to shed & produce normally, indefinitely!
