Lash Extension FAQ

Yes! We book by appointment only. Feel free to call us at (231)-335-5090 in order to book an appointment.

For your initial first visit, a full set normally takes 2.5-3 hours. Fill appointments can be booked for 60 or 90 minutes.

Eyelashes should not be curled, unless directed otherwise by your technician. Lashes should be free of any dust, oil, or makeup build up so remove any eye makeup with a mild cleanser. Oily eyelashes cause the lash extensions not to bond to the natural lash.

Your lash artist will hold a consultation at the beginning of your full set appointment and discuss with you what look you are trying to achieve with getting lash extensions. Whether it be a more natural look, dramatic look, or something more believable our lash artist are able to tailor to your desired looked.

For your first appointment, we have you book a full set. A full set takes up to 3 hours and costs $275. Once you have received your full set, fill appointments are needed every 2-4 weeks for as long as you wish to keep your extensions. Fills are typically booked for an hour and are meant to maintain the look you already have. Extended fill appointments are available if you or your lash artist feel it's necessary. We train our lash artist from the ground up, so lower pricing options are available with those artists who are working to build their speed and skill. Please call the salon to check availability.

Unlike traditional false strip lashes, eyelash extensions have quickly become the first modernized option for lash lengthening, which can be worn daily without nightly removal. Eyelash extensions are an elegant way to extend the length, thickness and curl of your natural eyelashes, making them a functional, convenient and glamorous substitute to the daily use of applying mascara.

After a full set of lashes has been applied, fill appointments are needed to maintain the lashes. Your natural lashes go through a shedding cycle, therefore your extensions fall off with them. Fills allow your lash artist to apply lash extensions to natural lashes that have recently grown in. When applied by a professional, fills are needed every 2-4 weeks, depending on your activity and day-to- day routine.

We recommend getting a fill every 2-4 weeks. A fill is needed to compensate for any lashes that have fallen due to the natural cycle of your own lashes. Fill appointments require approximately 60-90 minutes.

Mascara is not required since the extensions actually give the appearance of wearing mascara. Mascara should only be used when a fill appointment is drawing near. One of the many benefits of eyelash extensions is that you do not need to use mascara. If you must apply mascara, only use water-based mascara. DO NOT USE OR WATER-PROOF MASCARA as it can dissolve the bonding agent used, thus shorten the life of your eyelash extensions. At The Freckled Fawn we carry Mascara by NovaLash which is specifically formulated for use on our extensions without effecting the adhesive. If applying mascara over your extensions, be sure to apply no further than halfway down the lashes to keep away from the adhesive.

When applied by a professional, eyelash extensions will not harm your natural lashes. Proper application and technique allows for natural lashes to grow and flourish while having lash extensions on. Using the NovaLash application technique requires several different "separation" steps during the application process, so each extension is attached to only a single natural lash in order to prevent disruption of the eyelash growth cycle.

These are not in any particular order.

6. Clean with a gentle cleanser daily.
