Eyelash extensions in Wilmington, DE
Professional eyelash extensions, done the right way.
Licensed esthetician Kelsey Tyre of K.A.T Eyes applies extensions that fit your natural lashes and your eye shape, in a private room inside the Delaware SMP studio.
Extension styles
Classic, hybrid or volume
Each style is applied differently, and the right one depends on your natural lashes. Here is the side by side.
| Style | How it's applied | Finished look | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic | One extension on each natural lash | Defined, like great mascara | Fuller natural lashes, a natural look |
| Hybrid | Mix of single lashes and light fans | Textured and fuller | Something between natural and glam |
| Volume | Fine handmade fans on each natural lash | Soft, dark and full | Sparse lashes or a bolder look |
| Lash lift and tint | Your own lashes curled and darkened | Lifted and natural | Good natural length, low upkeep |

Questions
Common questions
Do eyelash extensions hurt?
No. Your eyes stay closed and each extension attaches to a natural lash, not your skin.
Will extensions damage my natural lashes?
Not when the extensions are matched to the strength of your natural lashes and you follow aftercare. Problems usually come from extensions that are too heavy, lashes glued together, or picking.
How long does a full set take?
Plan on a good stretch of time for your first full set, since every lash is placed by hand. Kelsey will give you a time estimate when you book.
Can I wear mascara?
You won't need it, and mascara and oil based removers break down the bond. Skip both.
Do you offer anything without extensions?
Yes. A lash lift and tint curls and darkens your own lashes with no extensions and no fills.
