I have a stye on my eye, can I still do lash extensions?
Occasionally we are asked about styes and what might have caused them and how best to treat them. Styes are very similar to infected pimples or ingrown hairs, they just occur on the eyelid. Like the rest of your skin, your eyelids have oil glands, and when one of those oil glands becomes infected, a bump or stye can appear.
