Absolutely Not! Mallyna® – Certified Stylists are highly trained and experienced in a proper lash
extension application and isolation technique, which is the key to the health of your natural lashes.
Since the extensions are applied to your natural lashes away from the base, never touching the skin, the
growth cycle of the natural lash is not affected, which will maintain integrity of your natural lashes. We
are using extremely light lashes that can not harm your natural lashes.
Yes, it’s absolutely Normal! Your natural Lashes have their own life cycle which is 60 – 90 days, so it’s absolutely normal for lashes to fall out with your extensions, or without them.

twisted lashes) that you would like refilled, feel free to pop in and we can check your lashes to see if

However, if you wish to do so, you may. Most clients choose eyelash extensions to avoid mascara
altogether, and that is the goal we have in mind for you. We would recommend you use a mascara safe
for eyelash extensions and avoid a mascara that is waterproof. Waterproof mascara and any type of oil

take care in washing off all eye makeup. Only use an oil-free eye makeup remover.
