Perth summers are legendary—think 40°C afternoons, beach days at Cottesloe, and that dry WA heat. While we love the sunshine, our unique climate can be a challenge for lash retention.

At Posh Deluxe Perth Salon, we want your lashes to look as fresh on day 21 as they did the moment you walked out of our salon. To keep your Perth eyelash extensions looking flawless through the heatwave, you need a summer-specific strategy.

Here is how to protect your investment with advice from our expert stylists.

1. The Sweat & Salt Factor

Summer in Western Australia means two things: intense workouts and salt water. Both are natural enemies of lash adhesive. Sweat contains oils and salt that can break down the bond of your extensions, leading to premature shedding.

The Posh Deluxe Tip: After a coastal run or a dip in the ocean, rinse your lashes with cool, fresh water immediately. Our stylists recommend keeping a bottle of our pH-balanced lash cleanser in your gym bag to whisk away salt and sweat before they settle.

2. Sunscreen Strategy in the WA Sun

Sunscreen is non-negotiable in Perth, but many formulas are packed with oils that act as a “solvent” for lash glue.

The Fix: When applying SPF around your eyes, stick to oil-free or mineral-based formulas. At Posh Deluxe Salon, we always tell our clients: “If your sunscreen migrates, your lashes will too!” Apply your cream carefully, leaving a small gap around the lash line.

3. Pool and Beach Recovery

Whether you’re poolside in Applecross or swimming at Scarborough, chlorine and sea salt can make extensions feel brittle.

The Routine: You don’t have to skip the water! Just ensure you cleanse with Lash Shampoo, rinse and brush. Use a clean spoolie to “fluff” your fans back into place once they are dry. If you’ve lost your spoolie, pop into our Perth salon—we always have fresh ones ready for our regulars!

4. Beat the Humidity (The “Car Sauna” Effect)

While Perth is usually dry, we do get those humid tropical pushes. High humidity or even the trapped steam in a car parked at Garden City can soften the adhesive bond if it hasn’t fully cured.

The Rule: For the first 24 hours after your appointment at Posh Deluxe Perth Salon, stay in the aircon! Avoid the “car sauna” effect by opening your windows or turning on the climate control before you hop in.

5. Hydrate the Natural Lash

Just like your skin, your natural lashes can get dehydrated in the WA heat. Brittle natural lashes are more likely to snap, taking the extension with them.

The Secret: Ask our team about our nourishing lash-safe aftercare products during your next visit. Keeping your natural lashes healthy is the only way to ensure they can support the weight of your favorite Perth eyelash extensions.

Heat, Humidity & Lash Adhesive Performance

Perth’s occasional humidity spikes (especially near the coast) can affect adhesive curing and longevity — but professional application plays the biggest role.

Well-applied Perth eyelash extensions, using correct techniques and controlled conditions, are designed to handle summer environments when paired with proper aftercare.

This is why professional application and customised lash styling are crucial — especially during hotter months.
