The individual flare lashes are not the same as the single lashes for extensions. The flares are available with a knott or knott free and are placed on top of the natural lashes where the individual single lashes are placed directly along each natural lash avoiding the skin on the eyelid.
Are the individual flare lashes used for eyelash extension application?

Lash Lift
As women begin to age there’s a little more drooping happening around the eye area and those once dark full lashes… well those start to fade and shrink to barely there. Thankfully an alternative to going under the knife or the more common term referred to as blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) are the semi-permanent eyelash extensions. Eyelash Extensions can actually help lift the eye area creating a more youthful appearance and distracting from the loss of elasticity around the eyes. The extensions help to add more depth and brightness as well – sometimes even creating the appearance of a liner along the base of the lashes. Many different looks and styles can be created with lash extensions depending on whether you want a natural look or something more dramatic. If you are looking to add more defintion to your lash extension look use a rich, black smudge pencil or liquid eyeliner. Waterbased mascara can also be used but only on the tips!

Professional Question – How do I clean the glue off my jade stone?
If you are using the jade stone to place your eyelash extension glue onto and there is still alot of glue left on the jade stone you would first wipe the glue off with a paper towel or tissue then place the jade stone into a glass container with acetone. If the jade stone did not have alot of glue you can skip the wiping part and just drop into the container with acetone. Recommended is the professional strength acetone, this can be purchased at a beauty supply store or some drug stores even carry this. Only enough acetone to cover the jade stone is required. The acetone will dry up so you do not want to use too much. Leave the jade stone in the actone for a few minutes and then remove with tweezers so as to avoid any skin contact. Rinse well with water and dry.

I am letting my extensions come out, as the extensions come out my own eyelashes look like baby eyelashes is this normal? I had extreme extensions in!
When an extension is applied to a natural lash and that extension is alot longer and heavier, as that natural lash grows the extension will get longer and add more weight to that natural lash which it may not be able to support. If this happens there is the possibility that some breakage could occur leaving your natural lash looking shorter. The good news is that your lashes will regrow and get back to normal once they complete their lash cycle. If you were planning on continuing with the extensions and doing the maintenance the lash technician would remove any that were in that growth phase and apply a new extension to avoid the breakage. With extensions that are slightly longer then your own natural lashes this is not really an issue but for alot longer extensions placed on shorter lashes half the size to create a more dramatic look you may experience that issue. If you do not want to maintain them I would recommend having them removed by your technician who will use a special eyelash extension remover, this will avoid any breakage. In the meantime I would recommend using a lash conditioner such as LashFood that provides healthy nutrients to the hair follicle and will help speed the lash regrowth process. For future if you plan to have the eyelash extensions applied consult with your lash professional on using extensions are will support your own natural lashes.

Which lashes should I do, Synthetic or Mink?
Both lashes serve a purpose. Firstly, there are two types of mink lashes, synthetic mink and real mink hair. The synthetic mink lashes are made to resemble real mink hair but offer a more consistent curl. These lashes are light weight but have a nice glossy finish and can create a more dramatic look. They are available in a natural curl as well as dramatic curl. The real mink hair is very fine and does not hold the curl well when exposed to water and also they are more expensive then the synthetic lashes. The synthetic premium lashes are great for everyday wear and for creating a more natural look even though fullness can be achieved with the .20 and .25 thickness. We also recommend mixing the lashes to create different looks and styles. If you are looking for a more glamorous look for an event, holiday party etc go for the mink lashes in the C-Curl with lengths 12-13mm and .20 thickness. For everyday wear a mix of .15 and .20 thickness in the regular premium lashes with a mix of 9 and 11mm would be recommended. Remember the longer and heavier your extensions the more maintenance so you will probably need to come in more for a fix.

Can pregnancy hormones cause natural lashes to fall faster when doing eyelash extensions?
This is normal with some pregnant women. I have a current client who had her baby 4 months ago and during her pregnancy her own natural eyelashes became very thin and sparse – she even developed some slight gaps. Her eyelash extensions did not last long so she was coming in every 2 weeks. This client I have been applying extensions for more than a year before she was pregnant and no problem with her lashes until the pregnancy. It is definitely due to hormone level fluctuations. Once she had her baby and was finished with breast feeding I had her start using the LashFood eyelash conditioner. I just saw her yesterday and commented on how much her natural lashes had grown in as well as grown longer. This is frustrating for the client but your lashes will get back to normal.

I’m a Lash Technician and having problems with the glue sticking to the other lashes during application. Can you offer some advice?
There may be several reasons why this may be happening:
1) the glue you are using is not drying quickly enough.
2) too much glue is being used.
3) moving too quickly between lashes when applying and not leaving enough time for the glue to dry.
4) applying the lashes next to each other instead of following a frame outline.
Below are some Suggestions:
1) if you feel confident in applying the lashes quickly without having to reposition the lash once on the natural lash you may want to switch to the fast drying glue. For newer technicians and practice however it is recommended to use the slower drying glue incase lashes are not placed correctly.
2) Try to use less glue if too much is being used. When dipping the extension in the glue make sure to only have a small ball of glue on the root of the extension. Run this up and down the natural lash to coat and then release in place.
3) Use your tweezers or even a toothpick to clean off any excess glue from the lashes after application. Simply just slide the tweezers or toothpick up and down along the lash for a clean application
4) follow the framing outline you created initially for the lashes – inner corner , middle, end.. follow this until all lashes are filled in. This will allow enough time for each of the lashes to dry while not being applied next to each other immediately.
5) Sometimes if the lashes are very close to each other they will try to attach.. if this happens just use your tweezers to separate gently and allow a few seconds before releasing. Also at the end of the application make sure to go through and separate any that may be sticking slightly.

What are some reasonably priced water based removers to take mascara off without losing the extensions?
Waterbased mascara should come off very easily with water alone but also try any of the following drugstore brands:
Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Make-up Remover, Maybelline Expert Eyes 100% Oil-free Eye Makeup Remover, L’Oreal Dermal Expertise Refreshing Eye Makeup Remover and Almay Liquid Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover. Avoid using cotton balls or pads since these can get caught in the extensions. Pour a little remover into hand, add water, lather together and remove by feathering upward along the tips of the lashes. Mascara should only be applied closer to the tips to avoid any pulling on the root of the extensions.
