Question 1

What is a "Lash Lift"?"

Accepted Answer

Eyelash lift (aka "eyelash perm") is an advanced technique to lift and curl lashes to give a fuller and curvier effect. It is a great alternative to lash extensions for people who are looking to achieve a glam look with their natural lashes. If you are not quite ready for lash extensions, a lash lift is the perfect way to start.

Question 2

How long does a Lash lift last?

Accepted Answer

It typically lasts up to 6-8wks. However, it can vary from person to person, as it depends on the life cycle of your lashes and how well it’s maintained. The lift may come down a little as the root of the lashes grow out downwards, but the curls are permanent and will last until the lashes fall out during its natural cycle.

Question 8

Does the Lash lift procedure hurt?

Accepted Answer

You should not feel any discomfort during the lash lift procedure. Please notify me asap if you feel a stinging sensation in your eyes or any other discomfort. Lightly closing your eyes instead of squinting will prevent the likelihood of the lash solution entering your eyes. If this happens, eye drops will be used to flush the solution out of the eyes.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Yes, but please wait for at least 24hrs after getting a lash lift treatment. Water proof mascara should be avoided as it has harsh chemicals that could damage the chemically treated lashes. Water Resistant mascara can still be used.

Before your lash service, please remove all eye makeup with a non-oil makeup remover and leave your eyelashes uncurled. Clean lashes help shorten prep time and increase the efficacy of the solution. Remember to keep your lashes dry for at least 24 hours after the treatment. Plan any activities that involve wetting your lashes either before or 24 hours after your lash lift.

Question 12

Will a lash lift damage my natural lashes?

Accepted Answer

No, a lash lift will not damage your natural lashes. I use a solution that only requires 3-5 minutes of processing time, along with a gentle technique and Keratin to preserve the health of your lashes. Many clients find that their lashes become healthier since they no longer need to curl them or wear mascara.

Please call your doctor right away. Although it is rare to experience a reaction after the application is complete, every individual has different sensitivity levels to chemical treatments.
