+ What is a Lash Lift?

It's a lifting technique designed to give you longer-looking lashes without the need for lash extensions. It will look as if you used a really good eyelash curler, only this lift lasts for 6 to 8 weeks! To top off the treatment, you can have an add on of a black lash tint which really makes your lashes look more prominent. The procedure takes about 30 mins to complete. It really is an easy way to instantly brighten and open up the eye area!

+ How do I need to prep for the treatment?

PLEASE ARRIVE TO YOUR APPOINTMENT COMPLETELY FREE OF EYE MAKE UP! Also, you must stop usage of waterproof mascara at least 2 days prior to your lift! If you wear contacts, they must be removed.

+ Is this like lash extension where they will look dramatically thicker

Lash extensions and lash lifts are completely different. We will not be adding any additional lashes to you. It will simply be curling your natural lashes. That said, for most, it can make your lashes appear fuller because they are so uplifted. If you decide to do it with a tint, it can give you more of the dramatic look, like you already put on mascara.

+ What are the post treatment instructions?

Pretty simple: Don't get your lashes wet or apply anything at all to them for 24 hours. Steer clear of waterproof mascara the entire life of your Lift. Brush out the lashes daily.

+ Can I book this on the same day as a facial?

Of course!

+ Is there any maintenance?

None at all! You don't have to do anything special with your lashes in between lifts other than giving them a good brush out daily and stay away from waterproof mascara.

+ Am I able to wear mascara?

Yes! It will give you a more dramatic look, go for it!

+ Why can’t I wear waterproof mascara?

Harsh chemicals are used in waterproof formulas in order to make them, well...waterproof. This chemical composition is extremely drying to your lashes. Not to mention all the effort and extra tugging and pulling on the lashes to remove the mascara. To be honest, most people are not great at thoroughly removing the mascara. If that’s the case, now you’re running around with this super drying film of chemicals on your lashes 24 hours a day. This results in weakened lashes that are prone to breakage, and over shedding.

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

Pretty much for all the reasons I just stated above. If you are a regular waterproof mascara wearer, then you are already walking in my door with dehydrated and weakened lashes, which will result in a poor Lift and possible further damage.

+ Will this damage my eyelashes?

No, if you follow all the advice on Pre prep and Post care. The lifting solutions are only applied to the new growth area of the lashes, down towards the base and up a bit. Never to the ends of the lashes.

+ Are some lashes resistant to the curl?

I have found, on occasion, that it's very difficult and sometimes not possible to sustain the curl with lashes that have a strong cowlick or slanted growth pattern. Also, growth patterns due to plastic surgery in the eye area are often not able to be corrected. I say, give the treatment a shot once, and let's see how your lashes hold the curl.

+ Is it painful?

No. Just kick back and relax

+ I use Latisse®. Can I get this treatment?

Yes. Some of the most dramatic results I've achieved have been from those using Latisse® because their lashes are already so long.

+ I have downward-pointing lashes, will this be a good treatment for me?

Heck yes! Anyone with these types of pesky lashes will love the lash lift! Post treatment, your lashes will all be evenly dispersed and lifted.

+ How long does the effect last?

Depending on the length and quality of your natural lashes, the lift can last for 6 to 8 weeks.

+ I have very very short lashes. Am I able to still do this procedure?

Most of the time, yes. Though it can be challenging if the lashes aren't even long enough to bring up and back on to the shield. But I say, give it a shot once and see how you do!

+ I have glaucoma, can I have this procedure?

Yes. If ever in doubt, always consult with your physician.

+ I've recently had blepharoplasty surgery, can I have this procedure?

You need to wait at least 1 year from your surgery. It has been my experience with clients who have had this surgery that there is an increased sensitivity in the eye area for quite a while. You need to give yourself that time to heal first. After that, you can consult with your physician to be sure.

+ I've recently had lasik surgery, can I have this procedure?

Yes, but you need to wait at least 6 months. As always, when in doubt, please consult with your physician.

+ Who is this procedure NOT good for?

Chronic dry eye, conjunctivitis, damaged lashes or lashes with gaps (this treatment may make the gaps more noticeable), active eye infections of any kind, trichotillomania (habitual pulling out of lashes), recent chemo treatments (you will need to wait at least a year from your last treatment. When in doubt, always consult with your physician.)

+ How long does the tint last?

Approximately 3 to 4 weeks. Chlorine and daily use and removal of waterproof mascara can shorten the life of the color.

+ How should I prep for my Tinting appointment?

Prep mainly only applies to the lashes. So for Lash Tinting, PLEASE ARRIVE COMPLETELY FREE OF MASCARA.

+ Does it sting when you're applying the color?

It's possible to feel some discomfort if your eyes water causing the color to seep or during the removal phase. But usually, it's a very quick and comfortable service.

+ My eyebrows have been Microbladed. Is it still ok for me tint them?

Absolutely! As long as you have completed all your microblading appointments (the initial appointment and the touch up appointment) and are completely past your few weeks of healing, it's totally fine. I have clients who still tint even though they have permanent make up. Sometimes, if you have really blonde hairs or grey, it can start to look a bit strange with the microblading or permanent make up. So I will usually try to match up the color of your dye to the color used for your microblading.

+ What if I wear contacts?

You will need to remove your contacts prior to your service.

+ Is there any special post care instructions?

Yes, you will want to go easy with your eyebrows when cleansing to extend the life of the dye. Obviously, if you scrub, peel etc at that area, the color is going to disappear much faster. Also exercise caution when applying any type of skin care products containing exfoliators (topical acne medications, retinol, lightening products, alpha hydroxy acids, etc) Keep all of these away from the brows as they will strip them of their color.
