Contents The Treatment
The lash perm
Unlike lash extensions, a Lash Lift alters a client’s natural lash hair. Also called a “Lash Perm”, each eyelash hair is laminated, lifted and curved to give the appearance of more open, awake eyes. In addition, Lash Tinting uses vegetable dye or Henna to give the appearance of longer, thicker, and darker lashes.
No more fussing with eyelash curlers or clumpy mascara. A lash lift adds a lasting curl to your natural lashes, making them appear longer and your eyes wider and more awake. Every lift is tailored to the length, thickness and condition of your lashes.
Making your lash lift last longer
A lash lift is simple, but how dramatic it looks depends on your natural lashes and how you treat them between visits. Read on for who gets the biggest lift, what the appointment feels like, how a lift grows out, long-term lash care, what affects the cost, and how a lift compares with curlers and growth serums.
Best candidates
Straight, downward-pointing, or uneven lashes show the biggest change, and medium to long lashes lift most visibly. Very short lashes curl too, though the effect is subtler. Skip it during an eye infection or soon after eye surgery.
In the chair
You lie back with your eyes closed the entire time, so there is nothing to do but rest. Expect light pressure as your lashes are positioned on the rod, and tell your artist right away if anything stings.
How a lift grows out
Your lashes do not drop all at once. As each natural lash sheds and a new one grows in straight, the curl softens gradually, so the change from lifted back to natural is gentle rather than sudden.
Long-term lash care
After the first day, use a conditioning lash serum or oil, remove eye makeup with gentle strokes, and save waterproof mascara for special occasions. Avoid heated curlers, which can over-bend lashes that are already set.
What affects the cost
Booking the lift and tint together costs less than paying for each separately, and how often you return depends on your own lash growth. Choosing lift only or tint only lets you tailor the visit to what your lashes need.
Lift, curler, or serum
A curler gives a daily bend that often drops by evening. Growth serums aim to lengthen lashes gradually over months. A lift sits in between, setting your own lashes in place for weeks without adding any length.

Frequently asked questions
We change people’s lives.
Q 01Why can’t I get my eyelashes wet after a Lash Lift?
For the first 24 hours, following your lash treatment, avoid getting them wet. Water, mascara, etc. can weigh down the lashes and compromise the lift.
Q 02How long does a Lash Lift last?
On average, about 6 to 8 weeks. Following the aftercare instructions for the first 24 hours after your treatment will help with longevity. In addition, brush your lashes in an upright position anytime following a shower (or after getting your lashes wet) to help keep the shape of them.
Q 03Is lash tinting safe for my eyes?
Tint is applied along the lashes while your eyes stay closed and protected. The FDA warns that dyes used in the eye area can cause serious injury, so ask for a patch test if you have sensitive eyes or allergies, and speak up immediately if you feel burning.
Q 04How soon can I repeat a lash lift?
Wait until most of your lashes have grown out of the previous curl, usually around the time the lift has visibly softened. Lifting the same lashes again too soon can over-process them and leave them dry, brittle, or frizzy.
Q 05Can I get a lash lift after removing extensions?
Yes, once your lashes are clean and free of adhesive. Lashes can feel thin right after extensions come off, so some clients give them a few weeks to recover with a conditioning serum first. Your artist will check their condition at the appointment.
