Technique
A lash lift is a new generation perming method that is safer, more effective and more beautiful than traditional eyelash perms. Create lift, curl, and definition to your natural lashes! Lash lifts are a great alternative for clients not wanting the maintenance of eyelash extensions. With long lasting results and very little maintenance, you will be ready to get going with beautiful lashes.
Results will last for 6-8 weeks
Your Appointment
- After you arrive and fill out your paperwork, your lash lift specialist will thoroughly cleanse your lashes and place gel pads on your bottom lashes. Your eyes will remain closed for the entire process.
- Depending on the length of your natural lashes a rod (small, medium, or large) is placed on top of the eyelids to determine which size best suits your lashes to achieve the best lift.
- Once size is determined, the rod is placed onto your eyelids and a gentle adhesive is applied to lift the natural lashes up onto the rod.
- Once lashes are on the rod, a setting solution is applied for 5-10 minutes on each eye.
- The setting solution then gets removed and a neutralizer solution is applied on both sides for 5-7 minutes. If desired, this step can be followed by applying lash tint to darken the natural lashes for more dramatic results. (A tint is highly recommended for those with light colored lashes)
The service takes approximately 30-45 minutes
Pre-Care
-
Please arrive to your appointment with NO makeup. If you wear contact lenses, please remove before your service.
After-Care
- For 48 hours following your appointment, it is recommended to avoid applying makeup, oils or water near the eye area. After the 48 hours have passed, you can resume normal daily activities / product use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this damage my natural lashes?
No. When performed properly, a lash lift/tint should never damage the natural lashes. Careful consideration is taken during the service to ensure the product is not coating the tips of the lashes and is only left on the lashes for the recommended time to avoid over processing.
Is it painful?
No, there should be no discomfort associated with the service. If at any point you feel discomfort, notify your lash specialist immediately.
How long will the effect last?
The lift can last anywhere from 6 -8 weeks, depending on how rapid your hair growth cycle is.
We lose between 1 - 5 natural lashes per day (on each eye) As your lifted natural lashes shed, a new lash will grow in its place that will be in its natural state (in most cases, straight). In order to maintain your lift, it is important to schedule an appointment every 5-7 weeks.
