How long do lash extensions last?

A full set of lash extensions at Plush Salon in Oakdale, PA typically lasts 3 to 4 weeks with proper care. Your natural lashes shed on their own growth cycle, so extensions gradually fall out as each natural lash completes its cycle. We recommend fill appointments every 2 to 3 weeks to keep your lashes looking full and even. To maximize retention, avoid oil-based products around the eye area, do not rub your eyes, and use a clean spoolie brush daily to keep lashes aligned. Sleeping on your back or using a silk pillowcase can also help extensions last longer.

What types of lash extensions do you offer?

Plush Salon offers three main types of lash extensions: classic, volume, and hybrid. Classic extensions apply one extension to each natural lash for a natural, mascara-like look that enhances your eyes without looking overdone. Volume extensions use handmade fans of 2 to 6 lightweight lashes per natural lash, creating a fuller, more dramatic effect. Hybrid extensions combine both classic and volume techniques for a textured, dimensional result that sits between natural and full. Full sets start at $140 for classic and $170 for volume. Our lash specialist will assess your natural lash health and eye shape to recommend the best style.

Will lash extensions damage my natural lashes?

When applied by a trained professional, lash extensions should not damage your natural lashes. At Plush Salon, our lash technicians use medical-grade adhesive and proper isolation techniques to protect each natural lash during application. The weight of the extension is matched to the strength of your natural lash, so there is no excessive pulling or stress on the follicle. Damage typically occurs when extensions are applied improperly, when clients pick or pull at their lashes, or when too-heavy extensions are placed on weak natural lashes. Our lash specialist Marissa evaluates your natural lash health before every appointment.

How long does a lash appointment take?

A full set of lash extensions at Plush Salon takes approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the style and volume level you choose. Classic sets are typically faster at around 90 minutes, while volume and hybrid sets may take closer to 2 hours because of the detailed fan-making process. Fill appointments take 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on how many lashes need replacing. We recommend arriving with clean, makeup-free eyes to allow the full appointment time for lash application.
