UV Lash Extensions in Seattle

Aging Gracefully Skin Experts offers UV and traditional eyelash extensions at our studio at 310 NW 40th St, on the Fremont/Ballard border. Michelle has been certified in lash application since 2006, and clients have trusted us with their lashes for over a decade.

Lash extensions are semi-permanent fibers that are attached to your natural eyelashes to enhance their length, fullness, and curl. They are applied individually using a specialized adhesive.

We offer both. Traditional extensions use an adhesive that air-dries over time. With our Xtreme Lashes UV system, the adhesive cures instantly under a UV light, which means less fume exposure, a more comfortable appointment, no waiting period afterward, and longer retention, so many clients go longer between fills. Your lash artist will help you choose the best option for your lashes and lifestyle.

Lash extensions typically last 4 to 6 weeks, following your natural lash growth cycle. With our Xtreme Lashes UV system, most clients come in for a fill every 3 weeks, and some prefer every 2 weeks. Our goal is to stretch the time between fills as long as possible while keeping your lashes looking full. Your ideal schedule depends on your natural lash cycle and your lifestyle, and your lash artist will recommend the right timing for you.

Yes, when applied by a certified professional, lash extensions are safe. The adhesive and lashes used are designed to be gentle on your natural lashes and eyes. It is important to follow aftercare instructions to ensure the best results and avoid any potential issues.

Yes, you can wear makeup with lash extensions, but it’s best to avoid oil-based products and waterproof mascara, as they can weaken the adhesive bond. Instead, use water-based or lash extension-friendly makeup. Xtreme Lashes have a line of mascara and eyeliners that are safe for eyelash extensions.

To care for your lash extensions, avoid rubbing your eyes or pulling on the lashes. Use a gentle, oil-free cleanser to wash your face and keep your lashes clean. Brush your lashes daily with a clean mascara wand to keep them neat and separated.

Yes, you can swim, shower, and exercise with lash extensions. However, it is recommended to avoid getting them wet for the first 6 hours after application to allow the adhesive to fully set. With the exception that if you are using the UV Lash system, you do not have to wait as the curing time is immediate.

When applied and cared for properly, lash extensions should not damage your natural lashes. It’s essential to have them applied by a trained professional and follow the recommended aftercare guidelines.

A full set takes about 1½ to 2½ hours. Fill appointments take about 45 minutes to 1½ hours, depending on the fill you choose.

It is not recommended to remove lash extensions yourself, as this can cause damage to your natural lashes. Instead, visit a professional to have them removed safely.

Lash extensions are suitable for most people. However, those with certain eye conditions, allergies to adhesives, or extremely sensitive eyes may need to consult with a specialist to determine if they are a good candidate for lash extensions.
