Understanding Lash Extension Safety 

Why Safety Matters 

Eyelash extensions are placed near the eyes; hence, a lot of care is essential. There is a risk of red, itchy eyes if using low-quality glue or tools. That is why professional artists like us follow strict hygiene and gentle methods.
We at Lashes By Aree only use clean tools, safe materials and tested lash glues for every client. This keeps your eyes free from burning, swelling or unwanted side effects. Clean hands, steady work and fresh materials are part of every service.

Choosing Skilled Artists 

Experience makes all the difference in providing safety and comfort. Our trained lash stylists at Lashes by Aree know how to apply each lash safely. We check your eye shape, lash strength and skin type before starting any session.
A skilled stylist applies each lash carefully without touching your eyelid. This keeps your natural lashes strong and prevents pulling or early fall-off. It is necessary to know that you know your lash artist is accredited and certified.

Risks and Side Effects 

Mild Eye Irritation 

In other cases, the client may experience watery or slightly itchy eyes following treatment. It is usually caused by glue fumes or by sensitive skin around the eyes. We use low-fume glues and let clients rest with their eyes closed for comfort.
Our salon also offers breaks during long sessions to ease your eyes. In case of redness, we guide you through easy Aftercare instructions and tips to feel good. A significant part of mild irritation disappears soon with adequate care.

Allergic Reactions 

Some might be allergic to the contents of lash glue. Before initiating allergy treatment, we always inquire about allergies and perform an initial patch test. This helps us check if the glue or lash material causes any irritation.
If you feel swelling or burning later, call us immediately. We can slowly remove the lashes and apply some safe, calming gel. Do not ever pull or rub your lashes by yourself because it will spoil your eyes.

Aftercare and Maintenance 

Daily Cleaning Tips 

The eyelash extensions can be washed and preserved. Clean lashes with a soft brush and oil-free soap on a daily basis. This removes dust, make-up and tiny particles, which could be irritating.
Do not rub your eyes or put waterproof mascara on the lash extensions. Clean lashes will avoid the accumulation of glues and they will preserve your natural lash line. We at Lashes by Aree teach every client how to clean lashes easily at home.

Regular Fills and Checks 

Refills help maintain the soft, complete look you love without damage. At Lashes by Aree, we suggest fills every two to three weeks. This keeps lashes neat and balanced while preventing twist or breakage.
During fills, we check lash health, glue quality and any skin changes. We ensure that each of our visits is beautiful and safe. It keeps your lashes healthy and strong with regular use of the treatment.
