What's a lash lift?

It is 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, I will apply a black lash tint which enhances your lashes even more prominently. The procedure takes about 45 minutes to complete and is a really easy way to instantly brighten and open up the eye area!

 

How do I prepare for a lash lift?

Please arrive to your appointment free of any eye makeup. If you wear contacts or glasses they must be removed. 

 

What do I do after my lash lift?

Lash lifts are very low maintenance! 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. It is also recommended to invest in a conditioning treatment to help keep the lashes strong and healthy. This conditioning aftercare serum will be applied at the end of your treatment and is also available for purchase at The Body Bar.

 

Can I get a lash lift and facial at the same time?

Yes!

​

Can I still wear mascara?

You can wear mascara beginning 24 hours after your appointment.

Harsh chemicals are used in waterproof formulas in order to make them waterproof and can be extremely drying to your lashes. There is also an increase in tugging and pulling on the lashes to remove the mascara. This results in weakened lashes that are prone to breakage, and over shedding which will diminish the length of time the lash lift will be effective.

 

Will lash lifts damage my lashes?

No, if you follow all the advice on pre and post care. The lifting solutions are only applied to the new growth area of the lashes and are formulated with conditioning and strengthening ingredients to maintain the healthy state of your lashes. It is recommended to begin using a conditioning aftercare serum in between your lifts!

 

Does it hurt?

Nope! If you have never had extensions or a lash lift before, it may take a couple minutes to get used to someone touching your eyelids, but it is actually quite relaxing. Some guests even take a nap!

 

I have an eye condition, can I get a lash lift?

It is always recommended and required to get a physician’s approval if you have any eye condition. If you have a stye, pink eye, or any contagious disease, a lash lift cannot be performed. If you have recently had blepharoplasty, you must wait at least one year from your time of surgery.

 

Who should NOT have a lash lift?

If you have any eye condition, damaged lashes, gaps (a lash lift may make these gaps more noticeable), it may not be best for you to get a lash lift. If you are not sure, you can consult your physician and esthetician to make sure!

​

What are the aftercare instructions for a Keratin Brow Lamination & Keratin Lash Lift?

1. Avoid getting them wet: For the first 24-48 hours after the treatment, avoid getting your eyebrow/lashes wet. This means no washing your face or taking showers that directly soak your eyebrows/lashes.

2. Avoid heat and steam: Steer clear of saunas, steam rooms, and intense heat sources such as hairdryers or heated styling tools for at least 48 hours post-treatment. Heat and steam can disrupt the setting process of the lamination solution.

3. Don't apply makeup: Refrain from applying any makeup or skincare products to your eyebrows/eyelashes for at least 24 hours following the treatment. This includes brow pencils, mascara, powders, gels, or creams.

4. Avoid touching or rubbing your eyebrows/eyelashes: Try not to touch or rub your eyebrows/eyelashes excessively, as this can disrupt the lamination process and cause irritation to the delicate skin around your eyes.

5. Use a spoolie to groom: After the initial 24-48 hour period, you can gently brush your eyebrows/eyelashes with a clean spoolie (provided by your technician or one of your own) to keep them in place and maintain their shape.

6. Moisturize sparingly: If your technician recommends a specific brow/lash moisturizer or serum, follow their instructions on when and how to apply it. Otherwise, use a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer sparingly around the brow/eye area to keep the skin hydrated.

7. Avoid swimming and excessive sweating: Refrain from activities that may cause excessive sweating or submersion in water, such as swimming or intense workouts, for at least 48 hours post-treatment.

8. Attend any follow-up appointments: If your technician recommends a follow-up appointment for touch-ups or additional treatments, be sure to attend as scheduled to maintain the best results.

9. Be cautious with skincare products: When applying skincare products to your face, be mindful to avoid direct contact with your eyebrows/eyelashes. Some ingredients in skincare products may affect the longevity of the brow lamination/lift.

10. Follow specific instructions from your technician: Every brow lamination/lash lift treatment may have slight variations in aftercare instructions depending on the products used and your individual needs. Always follow any specific instructions given to you by your technician for the best results.​​​​
