Question 1

How long do lash extensions last?

Accepted Answer

With proper aftercare, our standard lash services — Classic, Hybrid, Y Lashes, Volume, and Mega Volume — last 2–3 weeks. Our exclusive Lynk-Gel Lash System, performed only by owner Schalon Gonzales, delivers superior retention of 4–6 weeks. Regular refills help maintain fullness and keep your lashes looking flawless.

Question 2

How often do I need to get my extensions filled?

Accepted Answer

Most clients schedule a refill every 2–3 weeks for standard lash services. With Schalon's exclusive Lynk-Gel system, many clients only need a refill every 4–6 weeks — making it the ideal choice for busy lifestyles.

Question 3

Will extensions damage my natural lashes?

Accepted Answer

No! When applied correctly by our licensed, Xtreme Lash Certified professionals, lash extensions do not harm natural lashes. We ensure precise, safe application and offer aftercare guidance to keep your lashes healthy.

Question 4

Lash Extension Aftercare

Accepted Answer

• Avoid getting your lashes wet for the first 24 hours
• Avoid waterproof mascara and any other oil based eye products like cleansers and moisturizers. Only use oil-free makeup remover.
• Do not perm, tint, or use a clamp-style eyelash curler on your eyelash extensions. 
• Eyelash combs are great for grooming your lashes every morning
• After washing with LA's Lash cleanser 2 - 3 times a week, blot your lashes dry (you may blow-dry on cool to rejuvenate the fluffiness). Do not pull off eyelash extensions or rub your eyes.

Question 5

What types of lash extensions do you offer?

Accepted Answer

At Lash Architechs we offer Classic (1D), Hybrid (2D-3D), Y Lashes, Volume (3D-5D), and Mega Volume (6D+) lash extensions — all with 2–3 week retention. We also exclusively offer the advanced Lynk-Gel Lash System, performed only by owner Schalon Gonzales, with 4–6 week retention. Every service is customized to your eye shape and beauty goals.

Question 6

What is the difference between Hybrid and Volume Lashes?

Accepted Answer

Hybrid Lashes blend Classic and Volume techniques for a soft, natural fullness with a lightweight feel — perfect for clients who want definition without drama.

Y Lashes use a Y-shaped extension to create a wispy, feathery look that's more textured than Classic but more natural than Volume.

Volume Lashes use ultra-light handcrafted fans to create a fuller, denser, more dramatic look for clients who want maximum impact.

Mega Volume (6D+) delivers the most dramatic, glamorous result we offer — full, fluffy, and completely jaw-dropping.

All services last 2–3 weeks and are custom-designed for your eye shape.

Question 7

What is Lynk-Gel, and how is it different from traditional lash extensions?

Accepted Answer

Lynk-Gel uses an advanced light-cured adhesive that bonds each extension with superior strength — delivering 4–6 weeks of retention, nearly double our standard lash services. Unlike traditional glue-based extensions, Lynk-Gel significantly reduces shedding and keeps your lashes fuller for longer. It is exclusively performed by owner Schalon Gonzales and is only available at Lash Architechs in McKinney, TX.

Question 8

How do I take care of my lash extensions?

Accepted Answer

To maximize retention and keep lashes looking flawless:
Avoid oil-based products & waterproof mascara
Gently clean lashes daily with a lash cleanser
Avoid rubbing, pulling, or sleeping face-down

Question 9

Can I wear makeup with lash extensions?

Accepted Answer

Yes! However, avoid oil-based products and waterproof mascara, as they can weaken the adhesive. We recommend using lash-friendly, oil-free makeup removers.

Question 10

What should I do before my lash appointment?

Accepted Answer

To ensure the best results:
Arrive with clean, makeup-free eyes
Avoid oils, lotions, or lash serums
Refrain from caffeine (helps reduce eye twitching during application!)

How long does a full lash set appointment take?

Accepted Answer

Lash services range from approximately 60-120 minutes, depending on the style and lash set selected.

Can I get lash extensions if I have sensitive eyes?
