It is generally recommended to remove contact lenses before eyelash extension application to prevent discomfort or irritation. Your lash artist at the Salonist-partnered salon will advise you when it's safe to reinsert them.
When performed by qualified professionals using quality products (as found on Salonist), risks are minimal. However, potential risks include allergic reactions (hence patch tests), irritation, or, rarely, damage to natural lashes/brows if aftercare isn't followed.
Eyelash extension refills are usually recommended every 2-3 weeks to maintain fullness. Eyebrow tinting typically lasts 3-6 weeks, and lamination 4-8 weeks. Microblading touch-ups are usually needed every 12-24 months.
For eyebrow waxing/threading, you can typically apply makeup immediately (though waiting a few hours is ideal). For tints and lifts, wait at least 24 hours. For eyelash extensions, avoid mascara (especially oil-based) and wait 24-48 hours before applying other eye makeup.
Aftercare instructions for eyelash extensions, often provided by Salonist-partnered lash artists, include avoiding water/steam for 24-48 hours, using oil-free makeup removers, cleaning them daily with a lash cleanser, and gently brushing them.
Microblading is considered a semi-permanent eyebrow tattooing technique. Results typically last 12-24 months before a touch-up is needed, depending on skin type, lifestyle, aftercare, and the pigments used. You can find qualified microblading artists in Chicago via Salonist.
On Salonist, you'll find eyebrow waxing generally ranges from $20-$45, while eyebrow tinting typically costs between $25-$40. Many Chicago salons offer combination packages for both, often around $45-$75. Transparent pricing is available on each salon's profile.
