 LASH LIFT FAQs:

+ WHAT IS A LASH LIFT AND TINT?

A lash lift and tint is a non-invasive lash service that uses cream solutions to permanently “lift” and tint the eyelashes. Lash lifting is essentially a new-age lash perm that uses cream-based products and silicone rods to curl natural eyelashes—eliminating the need for traditional eyelash curlers. Unlike old school lash perms, which use barrel rollers and give lashes a tight and unnatural curl, lash lifts use silicone rods to lift the natural lashes upward, simultaneously giving height, length and volume. Lash tints often accompany lash lifts (although a tint may be done on its own) and darkens the natural lashes. When a lash lift and tint are performed together, they replace the need for daily eyelash curling and mascara.

+HOW LONG WILL THE LASH LIFT APPOINTMENT TAKE?

-The whole lash lift process takes about 45-60mins; adding Tint will take extra 10-15mins

+ HOW LONG WILL MY LASH LIFT LAST?

On average it will last 5-8 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle and lash condition. During a lash lift, natural eyelash are permanently curled and lifted upward. However, as mature eyelashes naturally shed and new lashes grow in, you’ll reach a point where you have enough new growth to need another lash lift. This usually happens after 6-8 weeks.

+ WILL THE LASH LIFT DAMAGE MY NATUAL LASHES ??

The active ingredient in lash lift is a gentle perm solution meant for eyelashes. When performed by a trained technician and when aftercare instructions are properly followed, your natural lashes will not be damaged in the process. Additionally, we treat your lashes with a deep conditioning Keratin treatment which will strengthen your natural lashes.

+ WHEN CAN I WEAR EYE MAKEUP?

You may wear eye makeup 24 hours after the lash lift treatment. However, we highly recommend using oil-free mascara & make-up remover .

+ DO I STILL NEED TO USE A EYELASH CURLER?

No, that is one of the benefits of a lash lift! The natural lash will stay curled throughout the rest of its cycle, so there is no need to use a eyelash curler. Just be sure the lashes stay dry within the first 24 hours.

+ WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LASH LIFT AND LASH EXTENSIONS?

A lash lift gives a semi-permanent curl to the existing natural lashes, while lash extensions are applied 1:1 on top of each natural lash. Lifting the lashes will enhance your natural lashes. Eyelash extensions give a more dramatic result, but require additional maintenance.

+AM I GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A LASH LIFT & TINT?
