At Numi Lash & Brow we carry three different grade of lashes; cashmere, silk, and synthetic mink. Our lashes come in different thickness, lengths, and curl.
Lash Refills
Refills are recommended around every 2-3 weeks for classic and 3-4 weeks for volume lashes. To qualify for a refill, your lash extensions should still have a 40-50% retention. At your refill appointment, if your lash extensions are less than 40% left, your lash technician will only be able to fill what is possible in the given appointment time. To maintain the same fullness as a new set, come in for your fill more frequent. During the process, only very grown out lash extensions will be removed, new lashes will be put in.
Freshly Done
Lash extensions are applied only to your one natural lash at a time, never touching your skin. There is a safe distance between your lash extensions and your skin. If the lash glue is on your skin it may cause irritations ( dry skin and itchiness). There’s only a small amount of glue dipped onto the lashes, therefore glue would never drip into your eyes.
After 1 Week
After 1 week, your lash extensions is growing out a little along with your natural lashes.
After 2 Weeks
After two weeks you extensions and natural lashes are grown out a little more than before
After 4 Weeks
This is after 4 weeks of growth. Some lashes will grow faster than others, this all depends on your natural lash cycle. This is the reason why we recommend coming in for a refill sooner. For classic lashes, it is best to come in between 2-3 weeks and volume lashes at 3-4 weeks. When lashes are outgrown, they can bend or turn because of the weight. Lashes then get messy and tangle up, this can sometimes cause damage to your natural lashes because of the pulling weight.

Volume lashes not properly fanned!
Chunks of lashes are put in without proper isolations
Unfortunately clustered lashes are used by a lot lash technicians to perform permanent eyelash extensions. What are clustered lashes? They are thick pre-glued lashes or chunks of volume lashes that are not properly fanned.
Why are they bad for natural lashes? They are bad because they are super heavy for natural lashes to handle. With the pre-glue base, extra glue is added to attach to natural lashes. They also have a bigger base than Russian volume lashes, therefore they can easily attach to 2-5 natural lashes. When one or two natural lash falls out it pushes the other lashes to come out too. Huge chunks of un-fanned volume lashes are bad for your lashes too because they can easily pull more glue, making it harder to isolate natural lashes. They also don’t look as fluffy and natural, it makes your lashes look stiffer.
Hand fanned lashes, have a very thin base
Properly fanned lashes, making it very light weight
Not a heavy amount of glue used, making it less damaging
Lashes are properly isolated and applied.
Lash extensions looks fluffy, soft, clean and very light weighted

1. Be gentle, avoid touching, rubbing and picking the eyelashes, this can cause premature hair loss.
2. Do not wear mascara and waterproof eyeliner, they are hard to clean and can cause build up

Put cleaning solution in a small cup, dip cleansing brush into solution, wipe on lashes with a downward motion from lash base to lash tip. Repeat till lash is clean. Let lashes air dry or dap lightly to dry with tissue. NO Q-tip, cotton pad or makeup wipes on lash base, as the lint from the products can tug and pull glue base and lashes.
The cleaning solution can be bought in a foam pumping bottle, making it easier to apply onto lashes. It also can be made at home by mixing 30% tear-free baby shampoo and 70% water.
