Lash Extension Prep
Everything You Need to Know Before Your Appointment
By CoCo Esthetic’s
Get ready for beautiful, long-lasting lashes! Here’s how to prep for your lash extension service to ensure the best results and retention:
1. Arrive With Clean Lashes & Face
Please come in with no makeup, oils, or skincare products around your eyes 24 hours prior to service.
Avoid mascara, eyeliner, eye cream, and lash serum. Clean lashes = better bond.
2. Avoid Caffeine Before Your Appointment
Caffeine can cause your eyes to flutter and make it harder to sit still. Opt for decaf or save your coffee for afterward.
3. Remove Contact Lenses
We recommend removing contacts before your appointment. Bring your case and glasses for comfort.
4. Shower Before Your Appointment
After your service, your lashes must stay dry for at least 24 hours — so it’s best to shower beforehand.
5. Skip Oil-Based Products
Avoid using oil-based cleansers, moisturizers, or makeup removers 24 hours prior. Oil breaks down adhesive and affects retention.
6. Plan for 1.5 to 2 Hours of Downtime
This is your time to relax! Come comfortable, and avoid scheduling anything immediately after — you’ll be lying down with eyes closed during the full service.
7. Avoid Lash Curlers & Mascara
Please don’t curl your lashes or wear mascara at least 24–48 hours before your appointment. Natural lashes work best when untouched.
