Lash extensions are one of our most requested services at 24 Home Service Salon — and one of the most misunderstood. Before booking, here are the most common myths our lash artists hear every day, alongside the honest facts.
Myth 1: "Lash Extensions Damage Natural Lashes"
Fact: When applied correctly by a certified lash artist, extensions do NOT damage natural lashes. The damage people experience typically comes from:
- Incorrect application (gluing multiple natural lashes together)
- Extensions too heavy for the natural lash
- Improper removal (pulling instead of professional dissolving)
- Poor aftercare (rubbing, oil-based products)
At 24 Home Service Salon, our artists are fully certified and use the proper 1:1 isolation technique — one extension per natural lash, never fanning across multiple hairs.
Myth 2: "You Can't Get Lashes Wet"
Fact: You must avoid water for the first 24–48 hours after application (the glue needs time to cure). After that, lash extensions can be washed gently. In fact, you should clean your lashes every few days with a lash-safe cleanser to prevent buildup.
Myth 3: "Lash Extensions Are All the Same"
Fact: There are several completely different lash application methods:
- Classic Lashes (AED 364): One extension per natural lash — natural, everyday look
- Volume Lashes (AED 468): 2–5 extensions per lash — fuller, more dramatic
- Mega Volume (AED 572): Maximum fullness for a bold lash look
- Hybrid Lashes (AED 676): Mix of classic and volume — versatile and popular
- Lash Lift (AED 364): No extensions at all — just curls and lifts your natural lashes for 6–8 weeks
Myth 4: "Extensions Are Too Expensive to Maintain"
Fact: Refills every 2–3 weeks at AED 260 keep your lashes looking full. Many clients find this replaces the cost of mascara, lash curlers, and the time spent on eye makeup daily — making it cost-neutral for those who wear makeup regularly.
Myth 5: "It's Painful"
Fact: A properly applied set of lash extensions involves zero pain. You lie down comfortably with your eyes closed while the artist works. Many clients fall asleep during the process. If you feel any discomfort, something is wrong — always communicate this immediately.
Myth 6: "Home Service Quality Is Lower"
Fact: At 24 Home Service Salon, our lash artists are the same certified professionals who work in top Dubai salons. They bring the same professional equipment, adhesives, and lashes to your home. Many clients report they prefer the home setting because they're more relaxed.
