A lash extension application typically takes between 2 and 3 hours for a full set. Lash fill appointments are considerably shorter, usually around 1 hour.
Here's a breakdown of what affects appointment length:
-
Full Set vs. Fill: The initial application of a full set of lash extensions requires more time as each individual extension is meticulously attached to your natural lashes. Fills, on the other hand, only involve replacing lashes that have shed and maintaining the overall fullness, making them much faster.
-
Desired Lash Look: The complexity of the lash style influences the appointment duration. A more dramatic and voluminous look requires the application of more extensions, thus increasing the time needed. Simpler, more natural looks take less time to achieve.
-
Technician's Speed and Experience: The skill and experience of the lash technician also play a role. A seasoned technician may work more efficiently and complete the application in less time than someone who is newer to the field.
-
Number of Natural Lashes: The number of natural lashes you have can affect the application time. More natural lashes mean more extensions can be applied, which requires more time.
In summary, plan for 2-3 hours for your first full set of lash extensions, and about 1 hour for fills.
