LASH EXTENSIONS IN WANDSWORTH | LASH EXTENSIONS AND THEIR SUITABILTY FOR TEENAGERS

At lash+browlab, located in the heart of Battersea, we have a choice of lash extension treatments available to the Wandsworth community. One question that we often encounter is about the suitability of having lash extensions for a teenager. We understand that some parents might have concerns, but it is in the best interests of everybody to know the fundaments of this treatment.

This blog post explores the suitability of lash extensions for younger clients and provides insights into what a teenager can expect during a visit to our salon.

We hope the information provided proves to be useful.

Why Lash Extensions Are Suitable for Teenagers

Lash extensions have become increasingly popular among teenagers in local areas like Wandsworth, especially for special occasions such as prom nights or graduations, and for family events. They offer a way to enhance a natural beauty but without the hassle of a daily application of mascara.

However, it is essential to consider a few factors before proceeding:

  • Age Considerations: Salons recommend that a client is at least 16 years old for lash extensions. For those under 16, parental consent is required. This policy ensures a client is mature enough to understand aftercare
  • Natural Lash Health: It is crucial to assess the health of natural lashes. If a teenager's lashes are healthy, extensions can be suitable but if the lashes are sparse, it is better to wait until they are in a good condition
  • Parental Involvement: We encourage open communication between teenagers, parents and guardians. Discussing lash extensions ensures that everybody involved feels better informed and more comfortable

What to Expect During Your First Visit to a Salon

Embarking on your first lash extension journey in Wandsworth can be exciting but also a little daunting. At lash+browlab, we strive to make the experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible for those who use our salon.

  • Consultation: On arrival, a trained technician will conduct a thorough consultation to understand the desired look and assess your lashes. This ensures lashes complement your features and meet your expectations
  • Application Process: Initial application can take between 90 minutes to 2 hours. During this time, you will be comfortably reclined with your eyes closed. Our clients find this period relaxing, referring to it as a "lash nap"
  • Aftercare Instructions: Aftercare is critical to maintain the longevity and appearance of lash extensions. Our team offers detailed guidance on how to care for new lashes, including avoiding water for 24 to 48 hours

You can also use an oil-free product to keep your lashes hydrated.
