Are eyelash extensions a Chatzitzah for the mikvah?

I would think so, depends on how permanent they are and how much of your eyelash they cover. AYLOR.

Probably someone will pasken they are ok, like the nail varnish thing. I don't hold by that, but what I do has nothing to do with it. I personally consider any voluntarily stuck on accessory a chatzitza, as does the Rav I go to.

Faux eyelashes attached with adhesive are a chatzitza.

Yes. Both the kind that come off within a few days to the one that are permanently glued and tend to last about 4-6 weeks. Both kinds should be removed before going to the mikveh, according to the Rabbaim I have asked.

I heard from my Kallah teacher that if you they are newly done and in perfect condition, some Rabbanim do not require removal. Most do.

Absolutely. I'm not sure why a rav would say otherwise . It's a product adhered to your lashes not meant to be permanent.

I guess the same reason some say nail polish is ok? Obviously this is not a mainstream opinion in RW circles. I’m not MO so I don’t want to speak for what they hold of - I’m clueless.

It's wanted.
But how long does it stay?
If it stays long, then it might just be like hair extensions or fake nails.
I have seen charedi mikves allowing fake nails.?
