Classic Lash Extensions|Natural & Elegant Eyelash Enhancement
What Are Classic Lash Extensions?
Classic lash extensions are a popular eyelash enhancement technique where a single extension is applied to each of your natural lashes. This method creates a natural, refined look that enhances the length, curl, and thickness of your lashes without appearing overly dramatic. Unlike volume lash extensions, which involve multiple extensions per natural lash, classic lashes offer a more understated, sophisticated appearance.
Benefits of Classic Lash Extensions
The Application Process at Lona Spa
At Lona Spa, our certified lash technicians follow a meticulous process to ensure the best results:
⊗ Consultation: We begin with a consultation to understand your desired look and assess your natural lashes.
⊗ Preparation: Your lashes are thoroughly cleaned to remove any oils or makeup.
⊗ Application: Using professional-grade adhesive, a single extension is carefully applied to each natural lash.
⊗ Drying: The adhesive is allowed to dry completely to secure the extensions.
⊗ Final Touch: Our technicians perform a final check to ensure every lash is perfectly placed.
Maintenance Tips for Long-Lasting Classic Lash Extensions
Want to make your eyelash extensions last longer and look flawless? Proper aftercare is key! While we provide an aftercare card during your appointment, here are the essential tips to keep your lashes looking their best:
- Avoid Water for the First 24 Hours
Keep your lashes dry for at least 24 hours after your appointment. The adhesive is still curing during this time, and exposure to moisture can weaken the bond. Steer clear of:
- Hot showers or steamy baths
- Saunas, spas, and steam rooms
- Intense workouts causing heavy sweating
- Swimming, facials, or exposure to rain
Some salons may say it’s okay to wet them right away, but we recommend waiting to ensure long-lasting retention.
- Use Oil-Free Products
Oil can break down the lash adhesive, causing extensions to fall out prematurely. Stick to oil-free makeup removers and skincare products. Not sure which products are safe? Ask our team for recommendations!
- Inform Your Facialist
If you’re getting a facial, let your aesthetician know you have eyelash extensions. They can adjust treatments to avoid steam or products that may affect your lashes. Avoid facials immediately after your lash appointment.
- Don’t Rub or Pull Your Lashes
Avoid touching, rubbing, or tugging at your extensions. This not only weakens the adhesive but can also damage your natural lashes. Keep your fingers away to reduce the transfer of oils and dirt.
- Skip Mechanical Eyelash Curlers
Using traditional curlers can damage or even pull out your extensions. If you want more curl, ask your lash artist about different lash styles that provide a lifted look.
- Gently Brush Your Lashes Daily
Use a clean lash wand to gently brush through your lashes each morning. This helps detangle, fluff, and keep them in place.
- Avoid Mascara
Mascara can clump extensions and is difficult to remove without damaging them. If you feel you need more volume, consider adding extra lashes during your infill appointment instead.
- Cleanse Your Lashes Regularly
Wash your lashes 3–4 times a week with a lash-safe cleanser to remove oils, dirt, and makeup residue. Proper cleansing helps prevent lash mites and keeps your extensions fresh. [Learn how to cleanse your lashes here.] (Insert link)
- Be Mindful of Heat & Steam
Frequent exposure to saunas, steam rooms, or hot yoga can weaken the lash bond. If you love these activities, you might need more frequent touch-ups.

Can You Wear Eye Makeup with Eyelash Extensions?
Yes, you can absolutely wear eye makeup with your eyelash extensions—as long as you choose the right products. The key is to avoid anything with oils, glycol, or glycerin, as these ingredients can break down the adhesive, causing your extensions to fall out prematurely. Oily products can also seep into the hair follicles, making future lash fills less effective.
Best Eye Makeup for Eyelash Extensions
✅ Eyeliner
- Best Option: Oil-free liquid or pen-style eyeliners (non-waterproof).
- Avoid: Gel liners and crayon-type eyeliners, as they often contain carnauba wax, which can stick to your lash roots and be difficult to remove—even when applied only to the lower lash line.
- Pro Tip: We carry lash-safe eyeliners, but most oil-free, non-waterproof liquid liners work just fine.
✅ Eyeshadow
- Best Option: Powder-based eyeshadows are perfect for lash extensions.
- Application Tip: You can even dampen your brush with water to create an eyeliner effect with powder shadows.
⚠️ Primers
- Use with Caution: Avoid using primers on your eyelids unless they’re oil-free. If you must use one, make sure to remove it gently and thoroughly at the end of the day to avoid residue buildup around your lashes.
Should You Wear Mascara with Lash Extensions?
Generally, we do NOT recommend using mascara on your extensions, especially if you have volume lashes. Here’s why:
- Mascara Causes Clumping: It makes the extensions stick together and can damage the delicate volume fans.
- Weakens the Adhesive: Most mascaras, especially waterproof formulas, contain oils that break down the lash glue.
If You Must Wear Mascara:
- Use only mascaras designed for lash extensions, like Max2 Volume Up Mascara, which we stock.
- Apply mascara only to the tips of your lashes—never at the roots.
- Mascara on bottom lashes is okay, as long as it’s not waterproof.
🚫 Important: We cannot perform infills on volume lashes that have been coated with mascara, as removing the buildup consumes most of the appointment time.
Are Lash Serums Safe with Extensions?
While not technically makeup, many clients ask about lash serums. Most are safe, but always verify that they’re approved for use with extensions. Avoid banned or unregulated products that may contain harmful ingredients.
- Our Recommendation: We offer LashGame Growth Serum, a safe, effective, and extension-friendly product.
FAQ
Can I Swim, Shower, or Get My Eyelash Extensions Wet?
Yes, absolutely! One of the best things about eyelash extensions is that they keep your eyes looking beautiful straight out of bed, after a shower, or even a dip in the pool. If you’re swimming in chlorinated or salty water, it’s a good idea to rinse your lashes with fresh water afterward or cleanse them with our LashGame Foaming Cleanser. To maintain your lash extensions, avoid using detergents, oily soaps, and refrain from rubbing your eyes. Instead, gently pat your lashes dry to keep them looking fresh and fabulous.
Who Can Get Eyelash Extensions?
Eyelash extensions are suitable for almost everyone looking to enhance the beauty of their eyes. They create an instant transformation, making your eyes appear brighter, more defined, and refreshed. Since the adhesive is applied directly to your natural lashes without coming into contact with the skin, allergic reactions are extremely rare. This makes eyelash extensions a safe and popular choice for achieving a glamorous look with minimal risk.
