What is a Lash Lift?

Lash Lift is a lifting technique designed to make your natural lashes curled and longer looking. This creates curl, separation, and a defined lash that can last up to 8 weeks!

Lash extensions and lash lifts are 2 totally different services. The Lash Lift will not add any additional length or thickness to your natural lashes.

Question 7

Why can’t I wear waterproof mascara?

Accepted Answer

Waterproof formulas contain harsh ingredients in order to make them waterproof. This chemical composition is extremely drying to your lashes. Removing waterproof formulas will have most people use extra tugging and pulling on the lashes to remove the mascara. The majority of people do not thoroughly remove waterproof mascara. Which results in you having a harden, dehydrating coating that will weakened lashes, cause breakage, and over shedding.

Question 10

Why do I have to stop wearing waterproof mascara 2 days before?

Accepted Answer

If you are a regular waterproof mascara wearer, your lashes might be dehydrated and weakened from the residue which will result in a poor Lift and possible further damage.

Question 11

How is this treatment any different than a lash perm?

Accepted Answer

We use silicone domed shields that lift the lashes from the root, producing a beautiful, uplifted look.  This method allows the straightening and lifting of lashes that conditions and nourish. This is a faster processing formulation and formaldehyde-free. The older lash perms of years past use tiny little rods that product a way too inverted curl. Others, use a type of lash curler/clamp which can be uncomfortable and difficult to work with.

Will this damage my eyelashes?

Not if you follow the preparation and post care instructions. The lifting solution is only applied to the new growth area and base but never to the tips of the lashes. We finish the service with a conditioning /nourishing keratin cream
