Know our lashes:

Lashpro extensively checks and insures the quality of our lashes but please note that different types of lashes are different in their characters and their curls. The thinner lashes such as 0.03mm and 0.05mm lashes may ultimately not hold their curl as long as the 0.07mm and classic lashes especially if the lashes has been stored for a long time or if the lashes have been exposed to heat and humidity. In regards to speciality lashes such as the L and M curl lashes, please note that these lashes by nature may not hold its curl for as long as the other curls such as B, C, CC and D curl.

All Lashpro’s lashes are handmade, therefore minor discrepancies will be present although we do try our best to keep the discrepancy rates as low as possible.

The customer is fully responsible for the correct storage of lashes and related products, Lashpro does not warrant the quality of lashes after 1 month after purchase due to the handling and storage by the customer. Should the lashes be faulty regarding the curl, the faulty lashes MUST be reported within 1 month of purchase, Lashpro does not take responsibility after the lashes have been used and attached onto the client’s eyes as aftercare will determine the retention as well as how well the lashes hold its curl. Please advise clients that the lashes must not be exposed to heat, in particular, an oven or a hair dryer when lash extensions have been attached.

How the lashes look in their tray may also look different when removed and put onto the side, this is due to the way the lashes have been glued onto the strip when stored in its tray. Please note that all our lashes are hand crafted lashes, no machinery was involved in the production of the lashes, which means that each tray may look slightly different on the way the lashes have been placed and stored.
