How often should clients typically return for refills of eyelash extensions?

Clients typically should return for refills of eyelash extensions every 2-4 weeks because this timeframe allows for the natural shedding cycle of eyelashes. Eyelash extensions are applied to natural lashes, and as the natural lashes grow and fall out, extensions are shed along with them.

The 2-4 week interval strikes a balance between maintaining the fullness of the extensions and accommodating the natural growth cycle, which averages around 6-8 weeks for lash retention. This schedule helps ensure that clients can maintain a consistent and aesthetically pleasing look while also providing adequate time for the natural lashes to grow without overloading them with weight from too many extensions.

In contrast, more frequent visits, such as weekly appointments, would be unnecessarily costly and time-consuming without substantially improving the appearance of the lashes. Returning every month may not be frequent enough for optimal maintenance, as clients may notice thinning or gaps in their lash extensions by then. Waiting until after three months can result in significant loss of extensions and might necessitate a more extensive and costly full set rather than a simple refill.
