Lash Lift.
What is a lash lift?
The lash lift procedure opens the eyes, elongates and emphasizes the appearance of your lashes while redirecting and encouraging your lashes to become the highlight of your eyes. Lashes become prominent, longer thicker and when tinted, darker - therefore offering much less maintenance than lash extensions.
How is it performed?
Lashes are lifted and laminated using a silicone shield to position the lift of the lashes from the very base of the lash all along the lash line, creating lashes that are raised and lengthened as a result. Products are then applied accordingly.
How long does it take?
A lash lift can take anything from 45 minutes to an hour from beginning to end. Maybe a little longer if you decide to have your eyelashes tinted which will enhance the effect of your lash lift.
How long will it last?
A Lash Lift can last 6-8 weeks but can vary from person to person. There is no need for any maintenance appointments in between but you will need to have the process repeated every 6-8 weeks to lift the new hair growth. There are some situations that may cause the lift to drop/weaken prematurely such as swimming, use off harsh products or heat. If you find that your lift does not last the full 2 months, you can repeat the treatment after a minimum of 4 weeks of having the initial treatment, but not before.
FAQs
Does it hurt?

Can I wear mascara after my lash lift?

Will it damage my lashes?
The chemical process of breaking the disulphide bonds withing the lash is damaging if not performed correctly. Therefore choosing a trained and certified professional is important.
What if I have a reaction to the lotion?
A patch test is strongly recommended prior to having a lash lift done. A patch test is quick and simple. It consists of us placing 2 drops of lotions and tint behind the ear for 10 minutes. Wiping it off and waiting to see if any subsequent irritation occurs over the next 24 hours such as redness, itching or inflammation. Very few people have a reaction to the lotion but that doesn’t mean you won’t be one of them.
I wear contact lenses, can I have this procedure?
Yes. However, I will ask you to remove them temporarily during the treatment as the eyes will be closed throughout.
