THE LASH LIFT | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Live your lash goals
A lash lift is incredibly popular in today’s beauty industry, and it’s easy to see why. A relatively quick procedure that can last anywhere from two to six weeks, eyelash lifts give the appearance of fuller, longer lashes and are super easy to maintain once you’ve had them done. But before you book your appointment, here are some things you should know about eyelash lifts.
WHAT IS AN EYELASH LIFT?
An eyelash lift is a perm that uses a silicone pad instead of a rod to shape the lashes. Lash lifts lift natural eyelashes from the root for them to appear longer. An option to add a keratin treatment to the service will thicken the lashes. Because it use chemicals mild enough for delicate eyelashes, an eyelash lift is not as aggressive as other types of perms and, therefore, less likely to irritate your eyes.
HOW DOES A LASH LIFT WORK?
An Eyelash Lift lifts your lashes from the root…the result? Eyes appear brighter, and lashes appear longer.
Like a traditional eyelash perm, an eyelash lift uses a slightly curved silicone pad instead of a rod to shape the lashes. A perm curls the lashes at the halfway mark (making them look shorter) while the lift perms the lashes at the root in a straight-up direction to achieve the lift effect.
An eyelash lift is perfect for those who want to enhance their lash look with minimal effort. This procedure is a great way to add the appearance of length. No extensions required! Since you can’t get an eyelash lift from any old salon, only trust licensed professionals—the application process could be harmful if not done correctly. Keeping these 5 things in mind makes getting your dream-lash easier than ever!

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
It is common for eyelashes to remain lifted for up to 8 weeks after a lash lift. As the eyelash growth cycle proceeds, your lashes will gradually lose their lift and curl back to normal.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY LASHES AFTER TREATMENT?
We advise against exposing your lashes to water, heat or steam for the first 24 hours after getting an eyelash lift, this means no super hot showers or saunas
After the first 24 hours, you’re good to go. Caring for lifted lashes is low maintenance. There are really no products to avoid – using mascara and oil based products are fine.
Perms are traditionally drying and can sometimes feel stiff. Applying a nourishing serum or oil to your lashes will help them maintain their elasticity.
