Coming in to have your eyelash extensions removed is very affordable.
It's $25 and a 20 minute nap.
I'm Kelly Rose, and I'll be getting my
eyelash extensions removed today.
I've gotten my eyelash extensions done for
projects that I've done as a musician.
For an everyday look, I think it's cool.
It's the easiest way to not have to wear makeup in the morning.
I don't have any projects coming up,
and I just want to give my lashes a rest.
I went to I Do Lashes to get my lashes done
because I really trust them.
I'm Dominique Jones and I'm a lash expert
at I Do Lashes in Los Angeles.
I Do Lashes is a female owned business,
and we specialize in lashes and brows.
We've had to adjust our protocols,
and we're taking clients' temperatures.
We've also minimized the amount of clients
we see a day, and properly sanitize and disinfect,
and make sure we're doing the services as safe as possible.
I think it's really important to get your lashes removed
by a professional, because I've heard so many stories of girls
just damaging their natural lashes.
I am a bit sad that I will be taking off these lashes
because they really do look fabulous.
Are my lashes still going to be there?
I will wipe down her eyes with a cotton round
and makeup remover to remove all of the makeup
and residue around her eye area.
I then will apply her eye patches.
I will then get the gel remover.
And microfiber brushes.
I will dip the microfiber brushes into the gel remover
and apply them to the base of her lash line.
I will leave the gel remover on her lashes
so the gel remover can loosen the bond of the adhesive.
We're going to leave it on for about five minutes.
So when I return, we'll just have them slide right off.
I use the microfiber brushes to slide off the extensions.
You must have naturally healthy lashes to receive
any of the services, whether it be
extensions or a lash lift.
It's best to start any of those services on healthy lashes.
We just encourage our clients to use serum or take vitamins
to continue having healthy lashes.
After all of the extensions have come off,
I then clean off the residue
with a Q tip
and makeup remover.
I brush the lashes and dry them.
There isn't anything you need to do differently afterwards.
Once your lashes are removed,
it's pretty much back to normal.
If you cannot see a professional to remove your eyelash extensions,
it's best to just wait it out.
Your lashes will naturally cycle out on their own.
So just be patient.
I'm just gonna clean off the residue on your right eye.
And then we'll be done.
Alright, Kelly, you can go ahead and open
when you feel comfortable enough to.
Do your eyes feel okay?
They feel great.
Your lashes are still in pretty good shape.
They're very healthy.
Here, you can take a look at your natural lashes.
Hello again.
Thank you. You did a wonderful job.
Looks exactly like when I started.
When Dominique was removing my lashes,
it just felt like someone was grooming my lashes
and brushing them.
It was actually really relaxing,
and I took a little nap in there.
Working with Dominique is a pleasure.
She's really communicative.
I am excited to get my lashes done in the future
because it's such a pleasant process.
Working with Kelly is such an easy, fun, and cool process.
Her lashes are very healthy and nice,
and she's a very good client.
So now with my natural lashes,
I honestly don't feel that much of a difference.
The lash extensions didn't feel heavy.
I definitely was more aware that I had them, so I had to
be careful when washing my face.
But otherwise, still feels the same.
While I do miss my lash extensions
because they made such a great change,
I'm really glad that I got them removed professionally.
And it's really great to know that my lash
condition is still in great shape.
Lashes and eyes are
basically the most important part of the face.
