First Time Lash Lift Answers
If you’ve never had a lash lift, but always wanted to, let’s chat. You may think you have seen it all on tik tok, but I’d love to share some helpful tips for you to get you the best results possible.
Before your appointment
You’ll want to remove any and all eye makeup. This makes it easier not only for the Esthetician, but also allow the products for lash lifting to work better.
You’ll also want to know the after care as you are planning out your week. I send a text to new clients about what they need to avoid in order for the lash lift to be long lasting.
During your appointment
Your eyes will be closed for the appointment. I like to describe the process as I’m working, because if you are anything like me, it’s a little weird when you aren’t sure what’s happening.
My description goes something like this. If you imagine a solid pringles can, split that in half. The flat side of the silicon rod will go on your eyelid and then rounded side will be where we place the lashes. The adhesive is water based, so when we rinse at the end, it will come off pretty easily. Making sure the lashes are in the best placement possible is the longest part of the appointment.
You’ll be welcomed into the 80s with the perm vibe. That is the lifting solution. After the lifting solution, there is a setting solution. All of these are wiped away and your new lifted lashes will be revealed. It’s always such an exciting process. However, once you put on mascara, you’ll be able to see the full results as the lash lift cannot add volume to the lashes.
After your appointment
You’ll want to make sure that you follow the instructions to make your lash lift last and to get the most out of them.
For 24 hours -
• No mascara, eye makeup
• Keep them dry and don’t touch them
• No eye creams
For 48 hours -
• No steam
• No saunas
• No swimming
• No lash growth serums
If you love it, you’ll want to come back about every 6 to 8 weeks to get the new lashes that weren’t lifted up the last time. This is one of the easiest treatments that gives you instant results without all of the spa time needed for extensions. I’d love to help you try it out, so let’s get you on the schedule!
Don’t forget to
Breathe. Let Go. Relax.
