Eyelash Lift Procedure

Here is what to

  • The lashes are cleaned and very carefully separated.
  • A silicone rod is placed on the eyelid, and the lashes are adhered to it with perfect precision
  • A lifting lotion is applied to the lashes, which breaks down the bond in the hair, allowing it to be reshaped.
  • As their natural bond is dissolved, the carefully placed adhesive keeps them in their newly placed position which is lifted from their roots.
  • A setting lotion is then applied, reforming the bond in this position and setting the lashes in their new shape. This has the effect of causing lashes that were previously too short to be visible appear and cause the previously visible lashes to suddenly appear longer. The Secret to the Lash Lift is the *illusion* of volume and length it can create with only the natural lashes.
  • The lashes are then tinted, giving them a darker, more refined look and creating definitions between the layers.

Did you know SALT can be an Eyelash Extension Killer ?

As humans we naturally excrete electrolytes but luckily Eyelash Extensions are versatile enough to survive this regular level of exposure without restricting your lifestyle!

However, it’s important that following  direct or prolonged exposure to Salt Water you thoroughly Cleanse 💦 your Eyelash Extensions with a proper Lash Safe Cleanser, then carefully allow them to dry. 

Keep this in mind for after :

Sweating / Working Out 😰

Crying 😭 – They don’t call them Salty Tears for nothing !

If the salt is not properly removed from your lashes it can absorb all natural moistures, drying out the extensions and natural lashes. In turn this can see them become brittle and their bonds become fragile. Over time salt water corrosion can cause the  active ingredient in Lash Adhesive; Cyanoacrylate to become weakened which may lead to premature Extension Loss.

All of this can be avoided with a super simple Lash Cleanse which is part of recommended daily aftercare anyway. How to clean my Lash Extensions

Lash Lift – Before and After

Lash Lift – Before and After

Watching the clients reaction when they look in the mirror for the first time after having a Lash treatment is by far one of the highlights of being a Lash Tech. Their smiles and delight are contagious and sharing in the moment with them is really rewarding for us!

First time clients often do a double take having barely recognised themselves.  The impact that the service has on not just their lashes and their eyes, but the beauty of the perfect symmetry that has been created and the way certain features are accentuated and others now seem smaller in contrast regularly exceeds their expectations!

Interestingly, it’s often Lash Lift results that seem to really shock and delight. By nature of their name alone, there is an expectations that ‘eyelash extensions’ will ‘extend’ but the knowledge that the Lash Lift they had done has manipulated only the same natural eyelashes they arrived to the appointment with really blows some clients away. This client was one of those that simply couldn’t believe these were her own lashes 💛

A Lash Lift straightens, then lifts and curls the natural lashes from their base before staining them black. This creates the illusion of increased length as shorter lashes are suddenly visible due to the lift and added volume as natural lashes that were previously invisible come to light for the first time.
