The lifespan of professional lashes can vary based on the type of lashes, application method, and aftercare. Here is a detailed breakdown:

- Semi-Permanent Lash Extensions: These are typically applied one by one to your natural lashes using a special adhesive. When properly applied and maintained, they can last for about 2 to 4 weeks. However, as your natural lashes go through their growth cycle and shed, the extensions will gradually fall out. You may need to get touch-ups every 2 to 3 weeks to maintain a full look.
- Strip Lashes: Professional-quality strip lashes can last for multiple uses. If used 2-3 times a week and cared for properly, they can last for 10 to 20 applications. This means they might last around 2 to 5 months depending on usage frequency.
- Individual Cluster Lashes: These are usually more durable than strip lashes and can last for 15 to 30 applications if well-maintained. With regular use 2-3 times a week, they could last 3 to 7 months.
- Application Technique: If the lashes are applied incorrectly, for example, if too much glue is used or the lashes are not attached properly, it can affect their lifespan. Professional application by a trained technician usually ensures a better bond and longer wear.
- Daily Care: Avoiding rubbing or pulling at the lashes, using gentle makeup removers, and keeping the lashes clean are essential for prolonging their life. For lash extensions, using products recommended by the technician, like lash serums and gentle cleansers, can help maintain them. Sleeping on your back to reduce friction with the pillow can also make a difference.
It's important to note that individual results may vary. Some people's natural lash growth cycles may be shorter or longer, and factors like lifestyle, health, and the quality of products used can all impact how long professional lashes last.
