Absolutely not, as long as the right techniques are used. Borboleta-trained artists follow a specific protocol including applying only the appropriate weight to lashes, using minimal adhesive and applying one lash or fan to each natural lash so that it can shed easily and naturally when it grows out.

Yes! In fact, guests should be cleansing their lash extensions daily. Showers, swimming, etc will not affect lash extension retention.

Borboleta Beauty has a collection of skincare infused aftercare to ensure that lash extensions stay clean and beautiful and have great retention. We recommend removing makeup with our Breakdown makeup remover and cleansing lashes daily with one of our Lash Bath cleansers and a Clean Swoop brush. Once guests develop a routine, the maintenance is a breeze.

Service times range from one lash artist to another, and one type of lash set to another. A classic or flat set usually takes around 1.5-2 hours. For a full volume set, the time commitment is usually around 3 hours. A mega volume set typically takes around 3.5 hours. Artists can combine any of these techniques to create a “Hybrid” set and determine time frame based on which types of lash sets they’re combining.

We recommend a fill appointment every 2-3 weeks, as lashes have a natural growth cycle and shed from the follicle as they grow out. If someone decides not to continue with lash extensions they can choose either to grow them out naturally or have them removed by a lash artist.

This service is totally customizable and can be designed to meet the desired look of any individual.  Great lash artists can create styles that are natural and effortless, textured or tailored, or dense and dramatic. The possibilities are nearly-endless! 

As with any beauty service or product there is always the risk of sensitivity. However, Borboleta-trained lash artists are educated in best practices to prevent this whenever possible, and how to troubleshoot any potential issues if they arise. However, if a reaction does occur, it is always best to recommend that the guest sees a physician.
