Hi, I’m Kirst from Lashed Up, your go-to lash technician located right here in the beautiful southern suburbs of Cape Town!
Whether you’re completely new to eyelash extensions or you’re considering getting new lash extensions again, in this guide I’m going to give some important information on your extensions and answer some of the most commonly asked questions with regards to getting lash extensions.
What Are Eyelash Extensions?
Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent fibers that I carefully attach to your natural lashes using a specialized adhesive. These extensions enhance the length, curliness, fullness, and thickness of your natural lashes, offering a stunning, mascara-free look every day.
Who Are Lash Extensions For?
Lash extensions are perfect for anyone looking to simplify their beauty routine, enhance their natural appearance, or achieve fuller lashes without daily makeup.
Whether you’re a busy work professional, a bride-to-be getting married soon, or just someone wanting a nice confidence boost, eyelash extensions are a fantastic option.
Common Questions About Eyelash Extensions:
How much should a full set of eyelash extensions cost?
Prices in Cape Town generally range from R600 to R1500, depending on the style you want (Classic, Hybrid, Volume) and the salon that you choose to go to.
At Lashed Up, I offer the most affordable yet premium lash extensions, all in the comfort of my home studio in lakeside, Cape Town.
How long do lash extensions last?
Typically, lash extensions last about 4-6 weeks, though regular infills every 2-3 weeks will maintain their fullness.
I’ll provide personalized care tips to ensure your lashes last as long as possible.
Can I wear mascara with lash extensions?
While mascara isn’t usually necessary and can shorten your extensions’ lifespan, if desired, use only extension-safe mascaras.
I’m always happy to recommend safe products.
Can eyelash extensions look natural?
Absolutely! My clients often prefer a natural look. Classic extensions are ideal for subtle enhancements, while Hybrid lashes provide a natural yet fuller appearance.
Are lash extensions worth it?
Definitely! Eyelash extensions simplify your beauty routine, enhance your confidence, and provide a consistent, beautiful look without the hassle of mascara. Clients often say they’re a beauty essential!
What do hybrid lashes look like?
Hybrid lashes blend Classic (individual extensions per natural lash) and Volume lashes (multiple lighter extensions per lash), resulting in a naturally fluffy and voluminous look.

How should I care for my lash extensions?
Avoid rubbing your eyes, sleeping face down, and using oil-based products around your eyes. Regularly brush your lashes with a clean lash wand to keep them looking fresh and neat. Read our Lash Aftercare post for more on this.
Do eyelash extensions damage your natural lashes?
No, not if they’re applied correctly by a professional. At Lashed Up, I always prioritize the health of your natural lashes.
Can I swim or shower with lash extensions?
Yes! Lash extensions are water-resistant. However, it’s recommended to wait at least 24 hours after application before wetting them to ensure the adhesive sets properly.
How long does an eyelash extension appointment take?
A full set typically takes between 1 to 1.5 hours, while infills are shorter, around 45 minutes to an hour.
