Eyelash extensions have taken the beauty industry by storm. Now from housewives to Actress everywhere are waking up to longer, thicker lashes-without the time (and mess) it takes to apply mascara.

Fifty years ago when false lashes became popular, the eyelash strips were applied and removed daily, damaging and stunting the growth of the natural lash. The technology didn't exist that we use today for healthy eyelash applications. Today we are able to apply individual lashes one at a time, creating such a beautiful look, without damaging the lashes and keeping your own lashes healthy.

Lavish Eye Glam, for example, uses individual eyelash strands that are applied to the natural lash one at a time. Procedure time ranges from one to three hours. The lashes come in a variety of colors, lengths and thickness to create looks ranging from natural to high drama. A natural look may consist of 25 - 30 lashes per eye, while a more dramatic look may use 70 or more lashes per eye.

Who needs eyelash extensions? Whether you have sparse or thinning lashes, or whether you simply want to enhance your look for a special occasion, everyone is a candidate. Also, many people are sensitive to dyes in mascaras or lash tinting, so extensions make a great option for fabulous lashes without irritation the eye area. Different occasions demand different looks. For weddings, portraits, or any occasion where people are seen at a distance, such as stage, TV or film, a high drama look is perfect. It enhances the eyes, so they don't disappear under lights or because of the distance. For simple day-wear/natural looks, 25-30 lashes per eye are a better choice. Our natural lashes fall our every 60-90 days, however, so that will be adjusted for.

Color-coordinated eyelash extensions have become popular for special events, such as wedding, proms, and the red carpet in Hollywood. Lashes can be applied and coordinated to match or enhance eyes, attire, skin tones, or even to create their own theme. They can also be enhance with jewels such as Swarovski crystals or diamonds.

For the vacationer, eyelash extensions are a great timesaver. Rather than wasting time perfecting their mascara, women everywhere are having professional eyelash extensions applied so they look and feel great during their travels.

The sky is the limit on price for this procedure, these lashes are such a need it's the fashion's crave. Depending on where you live, and what the market will bear for your area. A natural look (25-30 lashes) usually begins at about $250 per procedure. More dramatic looks (50-70 lashes) are usually $400 or more.
