A lash lift is a semi-permanent treatment that curls and lifts your natural lashes from the base, think of it as a push-up for your lashes, without extensions or daily curling. Add a tint, and your lashes look darker, thicker, and defined, like you are wearing mascara 24/7.
What happens at your appointment
We begin by talking through your lash goals. Your artist gently cleanses the eye area, then applies a lifting solution while your lashes are shaped over a soft silicone rod. Once the curl is set, a tint is applied in a shade that complements your features. The full process takes about 45–60 minutes, is gentle, and most clients find it comfortable.
Results & aftercare
Results typically last 6–8 weeks, roughly the natural life cycle of your lashes. For the first 24 hours: no water, steam, or eye makeup. After that:
- Avoid rubbing your eyes or sleeping face-down
- Skip mascara for 24–48 hours (many clients never go back to it)
- A nightly lash serum or nourishing oil keeps lashes strong
- Avoid waterproof mascara, it shortens the lift
Is it right for you?
If you want a low-maintenance routine, a lash lift & tint at $95 is one of the best value treatments we offer. It is perfect for busy mornings, swimmers, travelers, and anyone who loves a fresh-faced look. It suits all lash types, the curl simply shows most dramatically on medium-to-long lashes. Pair it with brow lamination for a full eye-area refresh in one visit.
Lash lift vs extensions: the maintenance math
Extensions look dramatic on day one, and then demand fills every 2–3 weeks, careful sleeping, and oil-free everything. A lash lift works with your own lashes: $95, 45–60 minutes, and you simply live your life for the next 6–8 weeks. No fills, and after the first 24 hours it holds up well through swimming and workouts. The trade-off is honest: a lift will not add length or volume you do not have, it reveals the length you already do (most clients are surprised how much was hiding pointing downward). For a natural look with near-zero upkeep, the lift wins; if you want obvious glamour lashes daily, extensions remain the tool.
Is it safe for sensitive eyes?
Often, with a professional at the wheel and full disclosure of sensitivities and allergies beforehand. Your eyes stay closed for the entire treatment, the solutions never touch the eyelid margin or the eye itself, and shields protect the lower lashes. We ask about allergies, recent eye surgery, and contact lenses beforehand (lenses come out for the session). Mild watering or temporary redness right after is normal; genuine irritation is not; tell your artist immediately if you experience it.
Making it last the full 8 weeks
The first 24 hours decide most of the result: keep lashes completely dry, no water, steam, sweat, or makeup, while the new curl sets. After that, three habits stretch the lift: sleep on your back or side (face-down sleeping flattens the curl), keep oil-based products and waterproof mascara away from the lash line, and brush lashes upward each morning with a clean spoolie. A nightly lash serum keeps the hairs strong so the next lift has more to work with. Full details live in our aftercare guide.
Quick answers
How soon can I wear mascara after a lash lift?
Yes, after the first 48 hours. Choose regular (not waterproof) formulas; waterproof mascara and its removers break down the curl faster.
Will a lash lift damage my natural lashes?
Not when professionally done on an appropriate schedule. Lashes shed and renew on a natural cycle, and lifting every 6–8 weeks works with that cycle. Overlapping treatments too soon is what causes brittleness.
How soon before an event should I book a lash lift?
Two to five days before is ideal, the curl is fully set, any minor redness is long gone, and you get the freshest possible look for photos.
