frequently asked questions

With eyelash extensions after your initial set, refills are required for maintenance and upkeep every 2-3 weeks depending on how dense your lash line is, how well they are taken care of, and your growth rate is since everyone’s different.
As long as your artist is properly separating/isolating every lash, applying the appropriate weight extension for your lashes & you’re properly keeping up with aftercare you shouldn’t have any issues. I am a perfectionist and can ensure you that my work is done properly, and you can trust me with your eyes.
Your eyes are closed the entirety of your appointment, I start every session off with a lash bath thoroughly cleansing the lashes and eye area. I then apply eye pads to cover your bottom lashes to keep them protected and afterwards I map out your set & get to work! Most clients end up falling asleep during the process due to the extra padding and heated pad on my lash bed.
During a refill any outgrown lash extensions are removed and replaced with new ones while also placing extensions on any new growth. Doing this keeps your natural lashes nice & healthy! You should still have at least 50% of your extensions that were applied left at your refill appointment.
I always suggest especially if you’re a first timer to try something new 1-2 months beforehand so that way we can make sure there are no allergies and make sure we have everything looking absolutely perfect for your big event!

The initial application can take anywhere from 2 to 3 hours, depending on the type of lashes and the desired look. Refills usually take about 1.5 to 2 hours. Timing all depends on the look you are wanting & how full your natural lashes are!
Please arrive with clean makeup free lashes &/or brows. Avoid wearing any eye makeup, especially mascara, on the day of your appointment. If you wear contact lenses, it's best to remove them before your appointment. I will have contact lens cases and contact solution available for those that need them. Wear comfy clothes, you will be lying down for a prolonged period of time. Feel free to bring a cozy blanket &/or headphones! Turn off/silence your phone! Unplug & relax during your treatment, you deserve it. Use the restroom before your appointment. Feel free to bring any photos from my website or Instagram for inspiration for your desired look. I'm here to help customize your perfect look based on your features, your lifestyle, and your wants.
Wash your lashes daily 1-2x with lash shampoo that is provided, dry your lashes with something lint/cotton free & brush through them, avoid sleeping on your face & use satin/silk pillowcases rather than cotton, avoid picking at or excessively touching your lashes with your fingers, do not use an eyelash curler or mascara on your extensions, avoid excessive heat steam & open flames,
Yes I do! I am happy to see you after you’ve seen another artist & if I see anything that needs addressing, I will let you know ASAP!
Lash lifts & brow laminations last about 6-10 weeks! It depends on your natural lash cycle. A lot of my clients come in around 8-10 weeks after their initial service.

I had never gotten my lashes done before going to April and I won't go anywhere else. I only got a lash lift & tint, but it was an amazing experience. Her studio is so cozy, and she puts a lot of effort into making sure you're comfortable the entire time. She has a HEATED TABLE. It was so comfortable I fell asleep multiple times, Great experience, great cost, great results.

I am so thrilled with the results of my lash lift by April!! In the past, I haven't had the best experiences with lash extensions and lash lifts so I came into my appointment with hesitancy. But from the moment I stepped into the Jawbreaker studio, April's warmth and professionalism put me at ease. April took the time to thoroughly explain each step of the lash lift process ensuring that I was comfortable and informed. My results are stunning, my lashes are beautifully lifted and curled. I highly recommend their services to anyone who is looking for AMAZING lash results. Thank you, April!!

April is awesome. She creates a welcoming environment and is a true professional. I appreciate her taking the time to provide education and help prioritize natural lash health, while doing what she can to meet goals with what the client has already.
I came to her after moving cross country and it was such a wonderful experience. It’s scary trying to find someone new when you’re not in the area. I couldn’t stay on as a client due to scheduling conflicts, but I’m more than willing to come back. Absolutely will recommend to others.

I love the customization! April does an excellent job of figuring out the best shape for your facial structure and the look you want to achieve. I've never tried this shape before, but now I don't think I could go to anything else!
