A new fashion trend has now arrived in Australia, semi-permanent eyelash extensions. Wearers can have long, beautiful, yet natural looking eyelashes 24 hours a day, seven days a week without the hassles of mascara.

Eyelash extensions are considered semi-permanent, as they can remain in place for the natural cycle of the eyelash itself. A person’s natural eyelash typically falls out every 60 to 90 days and is naturally replaced with the growth of a new eyelash. Because of this natural cycle, it is usually necessary to get touchups to fill in every two to four weeks.

A-list Hollywood stars are wearing eyelash extensions. The new semi-permanent eyelash extensions are applied directly to the individual eyelashes. Eyelash extensions have a natural look and feel. They provide length and thickness to a person's natural eyelashes.

The eyelash extensions are water resistant. Wearers may swim, exercise and shower worry free. Eyelash extensions do not require a lifestyle change for active people.

The application of a full set of eyelash extensions typically takes between one and three hours, depending on the skill level of the technician and how many extensions are desired. The application is painless. Clients recline comfortably with their eyes closed and many clients go to sleep during the procedure.
