A treatment room at J'adoreBROWS & LASHES
You open your eyes and they're already there — full, curled, ready. Lash extensions add individual synthetic fibres to your own lashes, one by one, using specialist lash adhesive. The effect grows with you: from a barely noticeable fill (classic 1:1), through visible volume (Russian Volume), to a full, dramatic look (Hollywood).
The best part is what you don't have to do — no mascara, no curler, no dark smudges after a workout or a good cry at the cinema. At J'adore Instytut, this treatment is performed by a brow & lash stylist. Below we've gathered everything worth knowing before your first visit — including why a patch test for the adhesive is not something we skip.
First application + regular fills
How it works
The stylist attaches synthetic lashes to your own, individually, close to the base, using hypoallergenic lash adhesive. The eyelid skin isn't involved: we work on the hair, not the skin, so nothing is pierced or breached. Each attached lash "rides" on one of your natural lashes and sheds with it when that lash falls out in its own cycle.
What separates the methods? The number and thickness of synthetic fibres attached to each natural lash. Classic 1:1 means one synthetic lash per natural lash — the effect is "I have nice, full lashes," not "I have lash extensions." With volume techniques (Russian), each natural lash carries a delicate, hand-made fan of several ultra-fine fibres — hence density without weight. Hollywood / Mega Volume uses the fullest fans for a complete, stage-ready look.

Good to know: real volume doesn't come from "thicker" lashes — it comes from many extremely fine fibres arranged into a fan. That's why genuine Russian Volume is feather-light — a set of 12 micro-fibres weighs less than a single thick synthetic lash. This is why "1D Hollywood" (one heavy lash faking volume) strains and damages natural lashes, while true Volume doesn't.
Ideal for
Styling for women and men
This is mainly a treatment for women — and most of this section is written for you. Lash extensions for women usually mean a full eye styling: we choose the method (1:1, Russian, Hollywood), the curl (from soft to strongly curled) and the lengths to enhance your eye shape — lifting a drooping eyelid, "opening up" a round eye, or elongating an almond shape.
The areas we support
Men take care of their eyes too — although lash extensions for men are less common. A softer, non-extension styling tends to work better here: a lash lift (curling your own lashes) and lash tinting for a deeper, more "awake" look, without the appearance of makeup.
The areas we support
From the stylist
I usually recommend a lash lift for men rather than extensions — the "well-rested" look without the risk of anyone spotting added fibres. We do full extensions for men deliberately — for a photo shoot or a performance, for example.
Safety and the patch test
With lash extensions, comfort and safety come down to three things — worth asking about at any salon:
Lash adhesive is a chemical product working right next to the eye. On your first visit, or if you have sensitive eyes, we carry out a patch test before treatment — a small amount of adhesive is applied to a safe area to check for a reaction. It only takes a few minutes and protects your eyes from stinging, watering or swelling.
What matters is proper lash isolation (each synthetic lash on a single natural lash — no clumping) and choosing the right weight for your natural lash. A poorly matched, too-heavy lash strains and weakens your own.
Fresh adhesive, single-use accessories, clean tools. Cheap, harsh adhesive can sting and irritate the conjunctiva.
Warning sign: a salon that skips the patch test · If a salon doesn't offer a patch test even though it's your first time or you have sensitive eyes, that's a warning sign. So is rushing, clumping lashes together instead of applying them individually, suspiciously cheap "1D Hollywood," or not asking about the condition of your lashes. You have every right to ask about the adhesive, the isolation method and the patch test — a good stylist will answer without hesitation.
Contraindications
Some contraindications are permanent, others temporary — in which case we simply postpone the treatment until the situation resolves. Nothing medical, just common sense when working right next to the eye:
From the stylist
The most commonly overlooked issue is eye infection. "It's just a small stye, I'll be fine" — it's not worth the risk. Adhesive and accessories work exactly where the inflammation is; it's better to postpone by a few days than prolong the irritation.
This isn't a complete list — we'll go through your history, allergies and lash condition individually at booking and at the start of your visit.

The visit

A short chat and selection
the stylist assesses the condition of your lashes, your eye shape and your expectations, then suggests a method, curl and length. This is also when we schedule a patch test, if you haven't had one yet.

Preparation
thorough cleansing and degreasing of the lashes (adhesive only holds on clean lashes), plus protecting the lower lashes with a soft pad.

Application
you lie comfortably with your eyes closed while the stylist attaches lashes one by one. It's a pleasant, relaxing part of the treatment — many clients simply fall asleep.

Combing and check
at the end, lashes are combed through and checked for symmetry and isolation.

Aftercare instructions
you'll get a short guide for the first 24 hours (see below). You leave ready to go — no eye makeup needed.

Aftercare
How long your extensions last depends largely on what you do after your visit. There's one rule: during the first 24 hours, the adhesive is reaching full strength — we don't want it getting wet or warm in that time. After that, a few simple habits are all you need.
For the first 24 hours (sometimes two — the stylist will confirm), don't get your lashes wet: no long showers on your face, no pools, no heavy sweating. After that, wash normally — just gently.
Hot steam loosens the adhesive, especially early on. Skip the sauna and hammam for the first few days, then use them in moderation afterwards — steam shortens how long extensions last.
This one matters: oil dissolves adhesive. Eye makeup remover, creams and pads containing oil will loosen your lashes. Use oil-free eye products.
In the morning, gently comb lashes with a dry brush — they'll settle evenly and lie nicely. It's the simplest habit that makes the biggest difference to how they look.
Sleeping face-down crushes your lashes. Sleep on your side or back, ideally on a silk or satin pillowcase — less friction, longer-lasting results.
Most important of all: never pull off or tear out extensions yourself — you'll take your natural lash with it and weaken the follicle. Removal is done by the stylist, using a safe product.
When lashes start to thin, it's tempting to "finish the job" yourself. Pulling out an extension takes your own lash with it — done regularly, this leads to thinning and weakened lashes. Always book a removal with your stylist, or wait for them to fall out naturally.

Please note. Lash extensions are a cosmetic styling service; the effect is temporary and depends on your natural lash cycle and home care. We carry out a patch test before treatment when using lash adhesives and products. The above text is for information purposes only. Details and the choice of variant (method, curl, length, effect) are determined by the stylist during your visit.
