    Student Lash Extensions in Royal Oak & Utica, MI

    Performed by supervised esthetics students under licensed instructor supervision at our Royal Oak and Utica campuses.

    Lash extensions are applied one synthetic lash at a time onto one isolated natural lash — never onto the skin, and never bridging two lashes together. Isolation is the skill everything else depends on, and it is the thing our instructors watch most closely during a student's lash set.

    At consultation your student maps the set against your eye shape and the strength of your natural lashes, choosing curl, diameter and length so the extensions enhance rather than overload. That map is drawn on paper and reviewed before the first lash is placed. A full set takes around two hours of quiet, still work with your eyes closed.

    Fills bring the set back to full density as your natural lashes shed on their normal cycle — plan on one every two to three weeks. When you want to stop wearing extensions, book a professional Lash Removal rather than picking at them; removal dissolves the adhesive safely and protects the natural lashes underneath.
