Lash Extensions.

If your lashes are sensitive, reactive, or damaged from past sets, The Bronze Lily is built for you. We're St. Pete's lash rehab specialists — we take on the natural lashes other studios have over-worked, using sensitivity-safe adhesives and health-first isolation so extensions support your natural lashes instead of stressing them. Classic, hybrid, volume, and mega sets from $120, plus lash lift + tint. Free patch test 48–72 hours before any new set.

A full set runs 90 to 120 minutes depending on style — Classic is the fastest at around 90 minutes, Volume & Hybrid sits around 100–120 minutes, and Mega Volume runs around 120 minutes. Fills are 60–90 minutes.

Most clients book a fill every 2 to 3 weeks. Mini fills are available only at the 6–7 day mark after a previous fill. If your fill window stretches past 3 weeks AND/OR your retention is below 40%, your artist may quote a partial set instead — we'll always confirm pricing with you before starting.

Applied correctly — one extension to one isolated natural lash, with appropriate weight and proper adhesive — extensions are safe and will not damage the natural lash. Damage typically comes from poor isolation, fans that are too heavy for the natural lash, over-application of adhesive, or aggressive removal. Every artist at The Bronze Lily is trained directly under Larae's protocols, which prioritize natural lash health over speed or fullness.

We do not use chemical lash remover at The Bronze Lily. It's a very harsh chemical and we don't believe in introducing it to the delicate eye area. Instead, every lash removal is done by hand using the banana peel method: one lash at a time, delicately, with precision, in the direction of natural lash growth. The goal is the opposite of speed — it's to protect the natural lash. It's the same technique we use during lash rehabilitation when we're correcting a previous artist's work. Lash removal as a standalone service is $25.

We've built a proprietary allergy protocol specifically for clients who thought their lash days were over. It combines a low-fume sensitive adhesive, sensitive lash tape, slower application with bond sealant, and a pre- and post-appointment care plan customized to your reaction history. Most clients who book the protocol leave with a full set. Bring your reaction history to your consultation and we'll map a plan together.

Yes — we offer a complimentary 15-minute Patch Lash Extension Test. We cleanse your natural lashes, follow our full pre-application allergy protocol, then bond a couple of classic extensions to each eye with our low-fume sensitive adhesive and finish with bond sealant — exactly as we would during a full set, just in miniature. Book it 48 to 72 hours before your full appointment so we can see how your eyes settle; most adhesive reactions show within that window. It's free and open to anyone — clients with a past reaction, sensitive eyes, or first-timers who simply want peace of mind.

Our lash lift system is built on Elleebana, the global standard for lash lifting. During the lift we combine our setting lotion with Elleeplex ReGEN Next-Gen Formula — a conditioning, moisture-boosting, hair-strengthening treatment that locks moisture into the hair shaft, relieves the hair stress of the curl, and eliminates the dryness that styling normally introduces. The result is a lift that's healthier for the natural lash — not just lifted, but conditioned. When you add the tint, we use Elleebana's Elleeplex Profusion Lash Tint system, which is also infused with ReGEN, so the tint nourishes while it colors.

Yes — and this is actually one of our specialties. Larae has eight years of successful rehabilitations. The protocol changes for damaged lashes: we move slower, remove what shouldn't be there (clumped, outgrown, stuck together, too heavy), and refill with lighter classic extensions or smaller fans applied only to your healthiest natural lashes. Recovery isn't rushed. Note: we never perform a lash lift on damaged lashes — it would only cause more damage.

Yes — but skip mascara (you don't need it), and avoid waterproof makeup or anything oil-based around the lash line. Oil breaks down the adhesive. If you wear eyeshadow, opt for powder over cream, and remove gently with an oil-free, foam lash cleanser. Q-tips with micellar water work well around the eye area.

Yes. Our adhesives are low-fume and medical-grade, and the application itself is non-invasive. The most common pregnancy-related consideration is comfort — laying on your back for 90+ minutes can be tough later in pregnancy. We'll set you up with extra pillows and breaks. As always, check with your healthcare provider before starting any new beauty service.

Full sets — classic, hybrid, volume, and mega — start at $120, and a lash lift + tint is $100. Your exact price depends on the style and fullness you're after; your artist confirms it at booking. New to us? Ask about the free patch test, offered 48–72 hours before any new set.

Classic is one extension per natural lash — a your-lashes-but-better look, ideal for naturally full lashes or first-timers. Hybrid blends classic and volume for a textured, wispy effect. Volume uses multiple ultra-fine fans per lash for softer, fuller density. Mega is our most dramatic — the most fans per lash for a bold, strip-lash look. Not sure which suits your eyes and natural lashes? We'll guide you at your appointment. All sets start at $120.

A little prep makes your set apply cleaner and last longer:

• Come with clean, bare lashes — no makeup, and ideally no mascara or eyeliner (top or bottom) for 24–48 hours beforehand. Skip oils and serums around the eyes, too.
• Remove your contacts before your appointment.
• Go easy on stimulants — coffee, energy drinks, and stimulant medications (like Adderall) can make your eyes flutter, which makes precise lashing harder. Ease off the morning of if you can.
• Tell us if you've had a lash lift in the last three months.
• Come ready to relax. Wear comfy clothes, be ready to slip your shoes off on our lash bed, and bring headphones if you like. Fair warning: clients tell us our lash bed gives them the best sleep of their lives — better than at home — so consider this your permission to take the best lash nap ever.

Great retention starts the moment you leave. We finish every set with a true bond sealant — an actual product we apply to lock the adhesive bonds on the spot (most artists still rely on the old nano-mister method), which is exactly why we ask you to keep your lashes completely dry for the first 24–48 hours: no water, steam, sweat, saunas, or hot yoga while the bonds fully cure. After that, a little daily care keeps them full and healthy:

• Brush them twice a day with the spoolie we send you home with — close your eye and gently roll the brush over the lashes a few times, then open and fan them up.
• Cleanse gently. Baby shampoo works, or the lid cleanser we recommend, OcuSoft Foaming Eyelid Cleanser. Never use cotton rounds or Q-tips — cotton fibers snag and pull both your extensions and your natural lashes.
• Keep oils and creams away from the eye area; they break down the adhesive bonds.
• No mascara — the question we get most, and the honest answer is simply no; a good set replaces it. Skip eyeliner where you can, especially bottom liner: as you blink, residue travels up to the lash line, and if it isn't cleaned off it builds at the base, suffocates the natural lash, and causes dry rot and early shedding.
• Hands off. Don't touch, pick, pull, or cut your extensions, and never use a lash curler on them. If something feels off, call us to remove it properly — (727) 218-7045.
• Sleep smart. Try not to sleep on your face; a silk pillowcase (cotton fibers snag) or a lash sleep mask helps keep your set full.
• Mind the heat. Lash extensions are flammable — keep your face back from ovens, grills, and hibachi. Singed lashes catch on the brush and have to be removed at your next fill.

Yes to all three — once you're past the first 24–48 hours. Our bond sealant gives your set extra strength for heavier activity, so you're set up for success. Just know the less water your lashes take on, the longer they'll last. A few habits protect your retention: skip high-pressure hot water straight on the lashes, and after a swim, resist rubbing your eyes — salt water and eye-rubbing are two of the fastest ways to shorten a set. To dry, use a cool blow-dryer on low or dab from underneath with a towel rather than smooshing the lashes flat, then brush them back into place.

Two things: what we do, and what you do. On our end, every set finishes with a true bond sealant — an actual product we apply to lock the adhesive bonds the moment your lashes are done, instead of the nano-mister most artists rely on. Sealing the bonds on the spot noticeably improves retention (we call it our retention product for good reason), and it's why 24–48 hours of keeping them dry is all it takes to set them. On your end, gentle daily care does the rest — brushing, gentle cleansing, and keeping oils away. Together, your set stays full through your entire natural lash cycle.

Premature shedding almost always traces back to a few habits. Oils and creams near the eyes break down the adhesive bonds. Mascara and eyeliner — especially bottom liner — leave residue that builds at the lash base and, left uncleaned, can suffocate the natural lash and cause dry rot and early shedding. Touching, rubbing, or sleeping face-down pulls extensions loose; cotton pillowcases and cotton rounds snag them; and heat or flame can singe them. Keep them clean, dry for the first 24–48 hours, and brushed daily, and your set lasts through your natural lash cycle. Still shedding fast? Come see us — sometimes it's a natural-lash-health issue we can help with.

This is our most-asked lash question, and the answer is no — please skip mascara on your extensions. Even lash-safe formulas are hard to fully remove, and the residue builds at the lash base, breaks down the adhesive bonds, and shortens your set. The good news: a proper set gives you the mascara look without the mascara. Want extra drama for a night out? Ask us about a fuller or hybrid set instead.

Yes — lash extensions are flammable, so it's worth knowing. Direct heat or open flame can singe them: opening a hot oven with your face right over it, leaning over a grill, or sitting front-row at a hibachi table. Singed lashes catch on your brush and have to be removed at your next fill. You don't need to avoid your kitchen — just keep your face back from direct waves of heat and flame and you'll be fine.

We ask that you cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment to avoid a fee. Groups and bridal bookings may require longer notice.

• Less than 24 hrs before: 50% of service cost
• Less than 4 hrs before or no call/no show: 100% of service cost

All bookings require a card on file. Our system sends multiple email and text reminders. Once you're inside the 24-hour window, the system won't allow self-cancellation — please call or text (727) 218-7045. Voicemail + text is best if we don't answer.

Please never use Instagram, Facebook, or email to reschedule or cancel. Those channels are hard to track when we're fully booked and will not be considered notice. Card on file may still be charged. Phone call or text only.

Because our services are performed on you, they can't be returned once complete — so all services are non-refundable. Prepaid packages and session credits are likewise non-refundable and non-transferable, and are valid for one year from purchase. If anything about your visit isn't right, tell us before you leave and we'll make it right.
