FAQs – Lash Lifts & Extensions in Durham

• Are lash lifts or extensions better for sensitive eyes?
  Lash lifts may be a better option if you’re sensitive, as they use fewer products and no ongoing adhesive. That said, we use medical-grade products for both, and a patch test is always available.

• How long do lash extensions and lifts last?
  Lash lifts typically last 6–8 weeks. Extensions can last indefinitely with infills every 2–3 weeks.

• Will either treatment damage my lashes?
  Not when applied professionally. At Sirens, we prioritise lash health and use safe, non-damaging techniques.

• Can I wear mascara with a lash lift or extensions?
  You won’t need mascara — but with a lash lift, you can use a non-waterproof one if desired. With extensions, we advise against it to extend their lifespan.
