Frequently Asked Questions About Eyelash Extensions & Permanent Makeup

Do eyelash extensions hurt?

Eyelash extensions should not hurt when applied correctly. Our certified lash artists at Xliv Beauty in Summerlin, Las Vegas use professional tools to isolate each natural lash and apply a single extension (classic) or fan (volume). Under-eye gel pads ensure comfort, and the lightweight extensions allow you to enjoy beautiful, long-lasting lashes without pain. Proper technique protects your natural lashes while giving you a stunning look.

Do eyelash extensions look fake?

Extensions can look completely natural or dramatic depending on your desired style. Xliv Beauty professionals customize each set to your eye shape, desired volume, and lifestyle. Whether you want subtle, everyday lashes or bold, glamorous lashes for special occasions, we ensure a look that enhances your natural beauty without looking artificial.

How long do eyelash extensions last?

Most adhesives bond for 4–8 weeks, but extensions shed naturally as your own lashes grow. Regular refills every 2–3 weeks maintain a full and polished look. Proper aftercare, such as avoiding oil-based products or rubbing your eyes, will extend the life of your extensions and keep them looking flawless longer.

How much do eyelash extensions cost?

Prices vary depending on style, volume, and the expertise of the lash artist. At Xliv Beauty in Summerlin, Las Vegas, we provide transparent pricing for classic, hybrid, and volume lashes. Investing in a certified artist ensures safe, high-quality results that enhance your eyes and protect your natural lashes.

Do eyelash extensions damage my natural lashes?

When applied by a certified lash artist, extensions do not damage your natural lashes. Proper weight and length are used for each extension. Improper techniques, such as using overly heavy lashes or clusters with excessive adhesive, can stress lashes. Choosing a trained professional at Xliv Beauty ensures your natural lashes remain healthy while enjoying stunning extensions.

Can I wear mascara with eyelash extensions?

Yes, but it must be oil-free and safe for extensions. Regular mascaras or oil-based formulas can weaken adhesive bonds and shorten lash life. Extension-safe mascara protects lashes while providing extra color or definition. Xliv Beauty can recommend the best products for long-lasting results.

Can I wear eye makeup with eyelash extensions?

Yes, makeup is safe with extensions if it is oil-free and gentle. Extension-safe eyeliner, eyeshadow, and primers work best. Avoid harsh removers or rubbing, which can damage the adhesive. Following these guidelines keeps your lashes looking perfect while enjoying your favorite eye makeup.
