Frequently Asked Questions-Lashes/Permanent Makeup

EYELASH EXTENSIONS:

What are eyelash extensions?

Eyelash extensions are designed to lengthen and thicken your natural lashes using individual strands of faux mink or real mink lashes, carefully curved to replicate a natural lash. Each extension is applied one at a time, creating a fuller, elegant, and seamless look. Extensions are perfect for everyday wear or special occasions.

At Bonnie’s Beauty Boutique, we offer both 100% mink and premium faux mink options for a soft, luxurious finish.

What do they look like and how do they feel?

Our eyelash extensions look and feel completely natural — light, soft, and comfortable, blending beautifully with your own lashes.

How long do eyelash extensions last?

Semi-permanent eyelash extensions can last indefinitely with proper maintenance. As your natural lashes shed with their growth cycle, you’ll typically need touch-ups every 3–5 weeks to maintain a full, lush look.

We use premium, hypoallergenic adhesives that are waterproof and specially formulated for long-lasting, safe wear.

Can I apply eyelash extensions myself?

No — eyelash extensions should always be applied by a trained and certified professional. Attempting self-application can cause eye injury, clumping, or damage to your natural lashes.

At Bonnie’s Beauty Boutique, every lash technician is certified to ensure your extensions are applied safely and beautifully.

What is the application process like?

You’ll relax comfortably with your eyes closed while your technician applies each lash. The process takes about 1–2 hours for a full set, or 15–45 minutes for touch-ups.

The experience is so soothing that many clients even fall asleep during their appointment!

Who wears eyelash extensions?

Everyone! From Hollywood stars to everyday beauty lovers, eyelash extensions have become a favorite for enhancing natural beauty effortlessly. Because they look so real, no one will ever guess you’re wearing them.

What is a “full set”?

A full set typically includes 60–80 lashes per eye, depending on your natural lash density. Be cautious of extremely low prices — always confirm the number of lashes applied and ensure they’re individual extensions, not strips or clusters.

Only individual lash extensions support healthy natural lash growth.

PERMANENT MAKEUP:

What is permanent makeup?

Permanent makeup, also known as micropigmentation or cosmetic tattooing, is a technique that enhances your natural features by implanting pigment beneath the skin’s surface. It’s perfect for defining eyebrows, eyeliner, or lips, and helps you wake up every day looking polished and confident without daily makeup application.

How long does permanent makeup last?

Results typically last 1–5 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare routine. Over time, the pigment gradually softens and fades, allowing for adjustments or refresh sessions to maintain your ideal look.

Is the procedure painful?

Most clients experience minimal to no discomfort. A topical numbing agent is applied before and during the procedure to ensure comfort. You may feel a light scratching or pressure sensation, but the process is generally very tolerable.

How long does the appointment take?

Appointments typically take 0.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on the area being treated and the complexity of the design. This includes consultation, mapping, colour selection, and the actual application.

What is the healing process like?

Immediately after treatment, color may appear slightly darker, with minor redness or swelling that subsides within 24–48 hours. Light flaking or peeling is normal during healing.

Full healing usually occurs within 4–6 weeks, after which your true color results will be visible.

Do I need a touch-up?

Yes — a perfecting session is recommended 4-6 weeks after the initial treatment to ensure even colour and lasting results. After that, most clients schedule colour boosts every 12–18 months.

Is permanent makeup safe?

Absolutely. At Bonnie’s Beauty Boutique, only medical-grade pigments and sterile, single-use tools are used. All procedures follow strict sanitation and health standards to ensure your safety and satisfaction. We are Peterborough Health  Board approved.

Who is a good candidate for permanent makeup?

Permanent makeup is ideal for anyone who wants to simplify their daily routine, has makeup sensitivities, thinning brows, vision difficulties, or an active lifestyle. It’s also a great option for those seeking subtle enhancement or facial symmetry correction...ANYONE!
