what is a lash lift?

A lash lift is essentially a perm for your natural lashes. This relatively low-maintenance procedure lifts and curls lashes for up to 8 weeks. For those looking to simplify their beauty routines, this might be a treatment to consider. 

A lash lift service is designed to enhance the natural lash. Every clients lashes are different and thus the outcome of the service will vary from person to person. For example, a client with naturally long lashes will have a more dramatic outcome verses a client with shorter lashes. Both results can be  beautiful, but if a client with short lashes is looking for a more dramatic effect, lash extension services may be a better choice. 

In order to ensure the best result possible, we are trained and well equipped with different types of perming rods and techniques. At your appointment, your eye shape and natural lashes will be analyzed to ensure we pick the correct perming rod to achieve the best result.

How often can lash lifts be done? Lash lift results last anywhere from 4-8 weeks (sometimes longer) and can safely be done every 6-8 weeks. For clients who get lash lifts this regularly, sometimes a break may be needed in between to allow lashes to go through a full growth cycle.

Things to know before & after your appointment 

Before appointment:

  • Do not put on mascara. Removing mascara can be very time-consuming and any residual makeup will prevent proper processing of the lifting solution.

  • Do not wear eye makeup. Makeup close to the eye area must be removed prior to the application process.

  • Please arrive on time. All appointments are based on timing to allow proper processing time.

  • After appointment:

  • Be gentle with your lashes; no rubbing.

  • Do not get your lashes wet for the first 24 hrs.

  • Do not use harsh products on your eyes/lashes.

  • Use of Sauna/Steam is possible after 24hrs but may weaken the effect of the lift.

  • No eye make up for 24 hours.

  • Avoid waterproof mascara’s.

  • Swimming should be avoided for at least 24hrs.

  • No other facial beauty treatments for 24hrs.

Need help deciding which tinting procedure would work best for you? Here’s the difference between hybrid tinting and regular eyebrow tinting…


regular tinting

The purpose of tinting brows is to create the illusion of more volume and thickness by darkening the hairs. However, with regular brow tint, the dye will only stain the skin the first day or so. The main goal of this product is to stain the hair for up to four weeks depending on the client’s skin and hair type.

sparse brows and tinting

If you have sparse areas (missing layers of hair) in your brows and you are looking to have the “filled in” look, regular tinting might not be for you because the tint will not have enough hair to adhere to in order to give you a darkened effect.

the best candidates

Regular tinting works best for brows that are at a good, healthy growth phase, hairs are light to medium in color (even if it’s just the roots), and will last longer for those who have normal (not too oily) skin.


hybrid tinting

This option has a more “wow” effect since it’s purpose is to stain the skin for up to seven days and dye the hair for you to seven weeks!

style

Although it’s a more bold effect, we can customize the color and application based on the client’s preference (natural or bold shades, faded front section of brows wispy or defined tails, etc.)

the best candidates

Hybrid tinting will work on pretty much everyone, with any brow color and hair texture. Since it’s made to have a more strong skin stain effect, know that it will be its darkest on the first day post application and will continue to dade from the skin over time.

If you’re still unsure which option to choose, let’s talk about it during your next appointment!
