What Are Classic Lash Extensions?
Classic Lash Extensions are individual synthetic lashes applied to your natural lashes to enhance length, fullness, and definition. This service is ideal for those who prefer a subtle, natural enhancement to their lashes without the need for mascara. Classic lash extensions provide a refined, elegant look, perfect for anyone looking to enhance their eyes with minimal upkeep. At Hera, we specialize in applying Classic Lash Extensions NYC that seamlessly blend with your natural lashes, providing a stunning, natural appearance. Whether you’re aiming for a light enhancement or more defined lashes, our expert technicians will tailor the extensions to suit your eye shape and style preferences.
Our Service Process
The application of Classic Lash Extensions at Hera is a relaxing and personalized experience. Here’s how we ensure that your lash extensions look flawless:
- Consultation
The process begins with a personalized consultation where we discuss your desired lash look. Our lash experts take the time to understand your style and assess your natural lashes. Whether you prefer a soft, natural look or a more defined set of lashes, we’ll customize the application to suit your features and style. We also evaluate the health of your natural lashes to ensure the best outcome.
- Preparation
Once we’ve agreed on the look, we carefully clean your natural lashes to remove any makeup, oils, or residue. Clean lashes ensure that the adhesive bonds properly for a long-lasting and secure finish. We then isolate each natural lash to prepare for the extension application, making sure each lash is in place for precise, uniform results.
- Extension Application
Using a professional-grade, long-lasting adhesive, individual lash extensions are applied to each of your natural lashes. The extensions are selected based on your desired look, whether you prefer a more natural look or a fuller, more defined effect. Our technicians apply the extensions one by one with precision, ensuring that each lash is beautifully placed for a smooth, elegant effect. This technique enhances your natural lashes, creating a seamless, voluminous look that looks completely natural.
- Finishing
After applying the extensions, we allow the adhesive to fully dry. Once dried, your lashes are brushed and shaped to perfection, ensuring that they’re neat and separated. The final result is a set of beautifully enhanced lashes that are natural-looking, voluminous, and long-lasting.
Aftercare Recommendations
To ensure that your Classic Lash Extensions remain beautiful and long-lasting, here are some aftercare tips:
- Avoid water for 24–48 hours:
It’s essential to keep your lashes dry for the first 24–48 hours after your appointment. This allows the adhesive to set properly, ensuring your lash extensions stay securely in place for as long as possible. Water exposure too soon can interfere with the bonding process, reducing the lifespan of your extensions. Be mindful to avoid washing your face or getting your lashes wet during this crucial setting period. - Refrain from using oil-based products:
Oil-based makeup removers, cleansers, and skincare products can weaken the adhesive, causing your extensions to shed prematurely. To protect the longevity of your lashes, opt for oil-free products for your face and eye area. By using gentle, oil-free cleansers, you preserve the bond, ensuring that your lashes remain beautiful and intact for weeks. - Brush your lashes gently with a spoolie:
Regular brushing with a clean spoolie is essential to keeping your lashes neat, separated, and fresh. A spoolie helps prevent tangling, ensuring your lashes stay aligned and full. Gently comb through your lashes every morning and evening to maintain their voluminous, fluffy look. This simple step will help keep your lashes in pristine condition. - Avoid steam and excessive heat:
Steam and heat can soften the lash glue, causing the extensions to loosen more quickly. Avoid prolonged exposure to hot water, saunas, or intense heat sources, especially in the first few days after your treatment. If you do enjoy hot showers, be cautious and keep your face away from the steam to protect your lash extensions.

Common Mistakes to Avoid with Classic Lash Extensions
To maintain your beautiful lash extensions and ensure they last for weeks, here are common mistakes to avoid:
- Avoid Oil-Based Products
Oil-based products can weaken the adhesive bond between your natural lashes and extensions, leading to premature shedding. To protect your lash extensions, always opt for gentle, oil-free skincare and makeup products. This ensures your lashes stay intact and looking flawless for as long as possible. - Be Gentle with Your Lashes
Rubbing your eyes or pulling on your lashes can cause unnecessary strain, leading to faster lash loss or damage to your natural lashes. Treat your lashes with care and avoid any harsh movements to maintain their beauty and longevity. - Keep Lashes Dry for the First 24–48 Hours
After your extensions are applied, avoid getting them wet for the first 24–48 hours. Water can interfere with the curing process of the adhesive, causing the lashes to lift or shed prematurely. Wait patiently to allow the adhesive to fully set and keep your lashes looking their best. - Sleep on Your Back
Sleeping on your face can distort the shape of your lashes, causing them to bend or fall out unevenly. To preserve the shape and fullness of your extensions, try to sleep on your back. This will help ensure your lashes stay beautifully curled and long-lasting. - Schedule Regular Touch-Ups
Lash extensions require regular maintenance to keep them looking full and fresh. Missing touch-ups can lead to sparse or uneven lashes. To maintain that voluminous, glamorous look, we recommend scheduling a refill every 2–3 weeks. Regular visits will ensure your lashes stay beautiful and well-maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions About Classic Lash Extensions
Q. Do you accept walk-ins?
At Hera, we pride ourselves on delivering a personalized, premium experience for every client. To ensure that we can dedicate the time and attention each client deserves, we operate by appointment only. This allows us to offer the highest quality service, where our expert lash artists can focus on creating the perfect eyelash extensions tailored to your needs. By scheduling an appointment, you ensure that every detail of your lash application is handled with care and precision, providing you with the best possible results.
Q. How long will my Classic Lash Extensions last?
With proper care and maintenance, your Classic Lash Extensions will last 2–3 weeks. The longevity of your extensions depends on your natural lash cycle and how well you follow aftercare instructions. Since your natural lashes grow and shed in cycles, your extensions will shed along with them, which is completely normal.
Q. Can I get lash extensions with natural lashes?
Yes, Classic Lash Extensions are applied directly to your natural lashes. Whether you have short or long lashes, our skilled lash artists will work with your natural lash line to create a look that enhances your features. Each extension is applied to an individual natural lash, which gives the appearance of longer, fuller lashes, perfectly complementing the shape of your eyes.
Q. How long does the application process take?
The application process for Classic Lash Extensions typically takes about 2 hours. This allows us to take the time to ensure each lash extension is applied carefully and precisely. Our lash artists focus on creating a natural, full look by applying one extension to each natural lash, ensuring a seamless and refined result.
Q. Are lash extensions safe?
Yes, eyelash extensions are completely safe when applied by a trained and experienced professional. At Hera, we use high-quality, hypoallergenic adhesives that are specifically formulated for sensitive eyes. Our skilled technicians take great care to apply the extensions correctly, ensuring that they don’t damage your natural lashes.
Q. How should I prepare for my eyelash extension appointment?
To ensure the best possible results, we recommend arriving at the salon with clean lashes, free of makeup or oils. This will help the adhesive bond more effectively and ensure that your lashes are in the best condition for the application. We suggest avoiding the use of oil-based products prior to your appointment, as they can leave residue on your lashes that can interfere with the adhesive. Arriving on time is also important, as it allows our technicians to dedicate ample time to applying your extensions carefully and without rush. During the application, we’ll make sure that your lashes are perfectly prepped for the extensions to be applied, ensuring a flawless finish.
Q. Can I wear mascara with my eyelash extensions?
We recommend not wearing mascara with your eyelash extensions. One of the main benefits of extensions is that they eliminate the need for mascara, offering you perfectly full lashes every day. Applying mascara can weigh down your extensions and cause clumping, which will shorten their lifespan. If you still feel the need for additional volume or definition, we can adjust the length, curl, and fullness of your extensions to create a dramatic look without the need for mascara. If you must use mascara, it is important to choose a water-based formula that is gentle on your extensions, and to apply it sparingly to avoid damage.
