One of the most common questions we get is which refill to book and when. Here's how it breaks down, based on how much of your last set is still in place.
Why Refills Are Time Sensitive
Each extension is bonded to a single natural lash and your natural lashes are constantly shedding and regrowing as part of their normal cycle. As lashes with extensions attached fall out and new lashes grow in, the ratio of extensions to natural lashes gradually shifts. That's why the right refill length depends on how long it's been since your last appointment.
Express (30 minute)
For clients coming back within 7 days of their last appointment. A quick tidy up for a set that's still essentially full.
Small (45 Minute) Refill
Book this if it's been 1 to 2 weeks since your last appointment, your lash line still looks mostly full across the entire eye, and you only have small, scattered gaps. From a normal distance, your lashes still look full and even.
You'll need at least 60% of your previous set remaining for this appointment length to give a complete result.
Medium (60 Minute) Refill
Book this if it's been 2 to 3 weeks since your last appointment and you can see noticeable gaps through the lash line, particularly through the middle. Your lashes still look like extensions, but clearly need work.
You'll need at least 50% of your previous set remaining.
Large (75 Minute) Refill
Book this if it's been 3 to 4 weeks since your last appointment and your lashes look sparse or uneven, including missing sections at the outer corners.
You'll need at least 40% of your previous set remaining.
Full Set
Once you're past the 4 week mark, or below 40% of your original set, a full set is the better option rather than a refill. This gives a more even result and looks after the condition of your natural lashes.
Not Sure What to Book?
If you're between timeframes or unsure how much coverage you've got left, book the longer appointment. It's easier for your stylist to work with more time than not enough, and it ensures a full result either way.
Getting the Timing Right
The easiest way to stay on schedule is to rebook your next refill before you leave your current appointment.
