LASH LIFT & TINT FAQ

What are the steps in a lash lift?

1. The eyes and lashes are thoroughly cleaned.

2. An undereye gel patch is placed on lower lashes to prevent them from curling upwards along with the upper lashes.

3. Soft silicone pads are placed on upper eyelids to hold them in place while the perm solution is applied to the lashes.

4. The lashes are thoroughly and carefully combed straight.

If a lash technician doesn’t take the time to ensure that each lash is straight right from the base, the lashes may end up pointing in different directions when the lift is complete.

5. A perming solution is applied to prepare the lashes for curling.

This takes 13-16 minutes. The solution is removed with cotton gauze.

6. A setting solution is applied to the lashes, and they’re lifted upwards over the silicone pads.

This takes 11-14 minutes. The solution is removed with cotton gauze.

7. A lash tint is applied.

The color depends on the natural color of your lashes and what color you want.

8. The lash tint is removed, and the lashes are thoroughly cleaned with a nourishing oil.

9. The lashes are combed, and the silicone pads are removed.

How do you care for lashes after the lash lift?

No water, cleansing product, or makeup can touch the lashes for 24 hours following the lash lift. After that time, you can use your normal mascara. An eyelash curler will not be needed, and the use of one could damage the lashes. Use mild products for cleansing and avoid rubbing or applying force to the lashes. (Using waterproof mascara is discouraged because removal can be too harsh.) Lashes can’t be exposed to heat for at least 48 hours after the procedure.

How long does a lash lift take?

Typically around 30 minutes, with an additional 15 minutes for tinting.

How long does a lash lift last?

Typically, 6-8 weeks. As it wears off, lashes gradually drop evenly and go back to their natural look.

Who’s a good candidate for a lash lift?

1. A person who doesn’t want to wear mascara.
2. A person who doesn’t want to curl their lashes.
3. A person who likes the volume of their lashes but wishes they were curlier.
4. A person who wishes their eyes looked larger and more open.
5. A person who wants a less-expensive and lower-maintenance option than eyelash extensions.
