First Time Getting Lash Extensions? Here’s What to Expect

If you’ve ever admired someone’s flawless, fluttery lashes and wondered how they achieved that look, chances are, they’ve had lash extensions. If you’re thinking about booking your first appointment, you might feel both excited and a little nervous. That’s completely normal! At A SpLash of Confidence in Cambridge, we love welcoming first-time clients and making the process stress-free. Here’s exactly what you can expect when getting lash extensions for the very first time.

Step 1: The Consultation

Before we begin, we’ll sit down and chat with you about your goals. Do you want a natural, everyday look or something bold and glamorous? We’ll explain the difference between Classic, Hybrid, Volume, and Mega Volume lashes so you can choose the style that best suits your personality and lifestyle.

Step 2: Preparing for Your Appointment

Once you’ve chosen your lash style, we’ll prep your eyes:

• A gentle lash shampoo removes any makeup, oil, or residue.

• Under-eye pads and tape are placed to keep your lower lashes safe.

• Then, you can just close your eyes, relax, and enjoy some quiet time.

The entire appointment usually takes 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the set you’ve chosen. Think of it as self-care time—you can even nap while we work!

Step 3: The Lash Application

One by one, individual extensions are applied to your natural lashes using professional-grade adhesive. This process is painless and most clients find it relaxing. Many even say it’s the best nap they’ve had in weeks!

When we’re done, you’ll open your eyes to a beautiful transformation—longer, fuller lashes that instantly enhance your natural beauty.

Step 4: Aftercare Instructions

To get the most out of your new lashes, follow these simple aftercare tips:

• Avoid water and steam for the first 24 hours.

• No oil-based makeup or skincare near the eyes.

• Brush your lashes daily with a clean spoolie brush.

• Book regular fills every 2–3 weeks to keep them looking fresh.

With the right care, your extensions can stay full and beautiful until your next appointment.

Comfort & Safety

One of the most common worries first-time clients have is whether lash extensions will damage their natural lashes. When applied correctly by a trained lash artist (like at our studio), extensions are completely safe. They grow out naturally with your lashes and do not cause breakage or bald spots.

At A SpLash of Confidence, your comfort and lash health are our top priorities.
