The origins of
Japanese eyelash extensions
The eyelash extension application originated in Japan and South Korea in the early nineties. This transformative beauty treatment quickly became a highly popular and essential service for Japanese women with the majority wearing eyelash extensions on a continual basis.
Due to the national culture for perfecting processes, the standard of Japanese eyelash extensions soon became the pinnacle of service across Asia, creating an incredibly tough market.
The Japanese eyelash extension treatment is defined by weightless, long-lasting and non-damaging designs that are naturally beautiful. Just as vital is the relaxing, quiet and completely comfortable application.
The Japanese Feathering ™
The renowned Japanese feathering technique was created by Moka Kanai in Kyoto, Japan.
Japanese Feathering is defined by Moka’s sculpting application which wraps each weightless extension around the natural lash for a very secure bond that can last up to 8 weeks.
Perfecting the true art of natural, extensions are applied to appear as one with a subtle feathered tip whilst mixing different lengths and thicknesses. Japanese feathering can safely extend the natural lash in various ways, creating an infinite range of designs and textures!
The products used to deliver Japanese Eyelash extensions are of a premium standard. Potent alcohol-based primers, bulky extensions and machine manufactured tweezers are not found in Japan or used within the treatment.
