Lash Extensions · Walnut Creek, CA
Lashes that open up your eyes, from soft lift to full volume
Lash extensions are single fibers bonded to your natural lashes for length and fullness, while a lash lift curls the lashes you already have. Both suit anyone who is tired of mascara and curlers. Urban Loxx Salon & Day Spa in Walnut Creek offers classic, hybrid and volume sets, fills, lash lifts, tints and removal, all done by our lash artists.
Which lash service fits the way you live?
Start with how much change you want. A classic set places one extension on each natural lash, so it looks like your own lashes at their fullest, while a hybrid set blends classic and volume work for more fullness with a natural, lightweight feel. A volume set is the bold, dramatic choice for lashes that stand out from across the room.
If you would rather skip extensions, a lash lift gives your natural lashes a lasting curl that holds for weeks. Add a tint and they get darker too, so you can skip daily mascara. A lash tint on its own darkens lashes without changing their curl.
Extensions need fills to stay full, because natural lashes shed and take their extensions with them. Fills are booked by how long it has been since your last visit: one, two or three weeks. When you want a break, our lash artists can take extensions off without damaging your natural lashes.
Our iLash Enhancements menu covers the Classic Lash Set, Hybrid Lash Set and Volume Lash Set, plus Lash Lifts and Tints and Lash Removal, so you can compare every option in one place.
What happens at your lash appointment
-
Talk through the look
Your lash artist asks how you wear makeup, whether you wear contacts, and the look you have in mind. Bring a photo if you have one. Together you choose classic, hybrid, volume or a lift, and settle on length and curl so the result suits your eye shape.
-
Prep and protect
Your natural lashes are cleansed so nothing stands between each lash and the adhesive or lift solution. Your lower lashes are covered with soft pads so top and bottom lashes stay apart. You lie back with your eyes closed, and many people find this part relaxing enough to doze.
-
Apply or lift
For extensions, your lash artist isolates one natural lash at a time and attaches a single extension or a light fan, depending on your set. For a lift, lashes are shaped over a small silicone shield and set, then tinted if you chose a Lash Lift with Tint. Your eyes stay closed throughout.
-
Brush, check and plan
When you open your eyes, your lash artist brushes everything into place and you check the result in a mirror. You get aftercare tips for the first day and a sense of when to come back. Fills are booked as one, two or three week appointments, based on how quickly your lashes shed.

Caring for extensions and lifts between visits
For the first day, keep extensions and freshly lifted lashes away from water, steam and heavy creams so the adhesive or lift can settle. After that, wash your lashes gently with a gentle cleanser without heavy oils and brush them each morning with a clean spoolie.
Skip waterproof mascara and lash curlers on extensions, since both can pull lashes out early. Sleeping on your back or using a silk pillowcase helps reduce friction. Natural lashes shed in a constant cycle, so a few gaps are normal. Most guests book a fill every two to three weeks, which is why our menu has Classic, Hybrid and Volume Fill rows for one, two and three weeks.

Classic, hybrid or volume: how the sets compare
The Full Classic Set gives clean, defined lashes with a mascara-like finish, an easy first set if you are new to extensions. The Full Hybrid Set adds wispy texture and more density. The Full Volume Set uses light, fanned extensions for a deep, dark lash line. Each style has its own fill rows, so your fill always matches your set.
If you are unsure, classic is a gentle place to start, and you can talk about adding volume at a later visit. Current pricing is on our Service Menu. To frame your eyes even more, pair lashes with our brow enhancements.

How to prepare for your first lash visit
Come with clean eyes: no mascara, eyeliner or lash serum residue, since oils and makeup can keep extensions from bonding well. If you wear contacts, you may be more comfortable in glasses that day. Arriving a little early lets you settle in, since you will lie still with your eyes closed.
Tell your lash artist about sensitive eyes, allergies, recent eye surgery or any skin condition near the eyes. For tints, ask about a patch test, and check with your doctor first if you are pregnant or have an eye condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will lash extensions damage my natural lashes?
Applied well and removed properly, extensions should not harm healthy natural lashes. Problems usually come from extensions that are too heavy for the natural lash, or from picking them off at home. Your lash artist matches weight and length to your lashes, and Lash Extension Removal takes them off gently when you want a break.
How long does a lash lift last?
A lash lift usually holds its curl for several weeks, then softens as your natural lashes shed and new ones grow in straight. A Lash Lift with Tint keeps lashes darker over the same stretch. Results vary with your own growth cycle, so ask your lash artist what to expect.
What if I wait longer than three weeks for a fill?
After about three weeks, enough lashes have usually shed that a fill may not rebuild the full look. Your lash artist will check what remains and may suggest a new full set instead. Booking your fill on time keeps your set even and full.
Can I wear mascara with lash extensions?
Most people find they do not need it. If you do want mascara, use a water-based formula on the tips only and remove it gently, because oil-based and waterproof mascaras can loosen the bond. Never use a lash curler on extensions.
Is a lash tint worth it if my lashes are already dark?
Even dark lashes often have pale tips that mascara misses. A Lash Tint darkens lashes from root to tip, so they look more defined with nothing on them. The color fades gradually over a few weeks, and you can pair it with a lift for curl and color at once.
Can I swim or work out with lash extensions?
Yes, after the first day. Before then, keep lashes away from water, sweat and steam so the adhesive can fully set. After that, rinse and brush your lashes after swimming or a hard workout, and pat them dry instead of rubbing.
