Lets Talk Lash Lifts
One of the simplest ways to change your look is with a lash lift and tint. After the quick, painless, and affordable treatment, your eyes will look instantly brighter and more open, making you seem more youthful and awake. Plus, your lashes will get that sexy curl and flutter you’ve always wanted! Think of it like permanently curling your lashes and applying mascara that never wears off.
What is a lash lift & Tint?
A lash lift-and-tint treatment involves two separate processes, both designed to give you beautiful, fluttery eyelashes for weeks. The lash lift mimics the effect of an eyelash curler. It makes your lashes bend upwards, leaving them looking longer, and your eyes more open and bright. Meanwhile, a lash tint is similar to a brow tint – or applying several coats of mascara. It makes your eyelashes look darker, thicker, and fuller. It’s particularly striking on those with naturally blonde or red lashes.
How Does a Lash Lift Work?
A lash lift is a chemical treatment. First, we will discuss the final result you want – for example, extra curved lashes, a cat’s eye effect, or a defined, fanned-out look. Next, assuming you’ve come in with clean lashes, I will separate your top and bottom lashes. The top lashes will be attached to a silicone patch on your eyelid and combed into place. Then, an eye-safe perming solution is applied. The process works similarly to a hair perm – the chemical solution breaks down the bonds in the eyelash, allowing it to change shape. After a few minutes, a setting solution will be applied to seal in the curl. Once that is complete, I will apply the tint in the color of your choice (most choose black to mimic mascara), this just takes a few minutes. After the tinting is complete, I will use a nourishing gel to remove your lashes from the silicone patch.

Lash Lift Before & After
The natural shape, direction, and thickness of your eyelashes will determine how dramatic your results are. If your lashes lie almost flat – or even point downwards – you’ll see a big difference after having a lifting treatment. Most women notice their eyes look more open, brighter, younger, and more ‘awake’ following their lash lift. Additionally, the eyelashes themselves will appear far longer, fuller, and more defined.
Do lash lifts hurt?
Lash lifts shouldn’t hurt, and most people find the process to be very relaxing. If you hate things near your eyes or have sensitivities, you might experience a bit of discomfort or awkwardness. However, allergic reactions to the solution can cause side effects such as rash, redness, or blisters, so if you are worried, ask for a spot test first.
Is a lash lift worth it?
A lash lift is a great way to feel prettier and really make your eyes pop. However, it can be expensive. If you have the money to spend and you feel amazing, then it’s definitely worth it. If your budget is a bit tighter lash lifts can be a great option for special occasions such as birthdays, weddings, or the festive season.
Do lash lifts ruin your eyelashes?
Lash lifts use chemicals to alter the shape of the hair shaft. As such, like a regular perm, it can cause damage with excessive or inappropriate use. One of the most common complaints is dry, brittle lashes that can snap if the solution is left on for too long. To avoid this, make sure you are selecting a skilled and experienced technician with good reviews, and don’t have it done too often — allow six to eight weeks between appointments.
How long does a lash lift last?
The results last around 8-12 weeks, depending on your lash growth cycle.
Lash lift Aftercare
Avoid water, steam, eye make-up, and make-up remover for the first 48 hours after your lift. As with any perming treatment, exposure to moisture and humidity straight afterward can ruin the result. After 48 hours have elapsed, you can treat your lashes as usual – there’s no need to change your make-up routine or stop cleansing your face. A conditioning treatment like coconut oil to keep your lashes healthy and nourished post-lift can be used.
