5 best places to get eyelash extensions in Hong Kong

Do you hate waking up extra early in the morning to put make up on? Wish you could look #onfleek 24/7? Then maybe you should consider getting your lashes done. There are tons of benefits to getting eyelash extensions, from skipping mascara (and your eyeliner while you’re at) to having voluminous lashes that will stay put in Hong Kong’s humidity. Below we have listed five of the best places to get your lashes done, as well as some tips and tricks you need to know to get started. 

Lashes 101

There are three main types of lash extensions: silk, mink and synthetic. Depending on the lash salon, size ranges from 6mm to 17mm. Once you’ve selected the desired length, material and look, the lashes will be applied one at a time onto each individual lash using semi-permanent glue. The glue is specially formulated so it doesn’t irritate the eye or damage your natural eyelashes. However, there are different types of glue based on one’s sensitivity. 

It’s recommended to avoid using oil-based products as it will shorten the life span of the extensions, but they will usually last to up to 3 weeks.
