Eyelash Lift (Perming)

The goal of a lash lift and a lash perm is to curl and lift the base of your natural lashes using a chemical-based process. AT THE SALON You’ll first consult with our specialist to discuss how full and natural you want your lash to look. You can choose a colour which compliments or contrasts with your hair and eye colour and skin tone. If you’re a contact lens wearer, you will have to remove them. We apply a protective cream, such as Vaseline, under the eyes, which prevents the skin from getting stained. Then a thin cotton pad shaped in a curve goes on top of the cream. You shut your eyes, and the tint is applied to lashes with a fine brush, and allowed to set for at least 10 minutes. With your eyes still shut, we begin to remove the dye with a cotton pad dampened with water. This might take a few minutes of gentle strokes and several pads. When the excess dye has been removed, you open your eyes; we will then up the under-eye area and the lid with additional dampened pads, if there is staining. It might be a good idea to schedule your first appointment on a Friday, so you can monitor the results over the weekend. AFTERWARDS The effect lasts for around 6 weeks - the time it takes for the hair to grow or fall out. A strong look will require a more frequent maintenance. You’ll want to avoid getting your brows wet for 12 hours after getting the treatment done and to clean around the area with gel or cream-based cleansers. Your brows will stand out and look fuller right away. The tint lasts anywhere from three to six weeks. To maintain colour, we suggest you to come in every four to six weeks for touch-ups. Please try to avoid exfoliating or use of any oil-based products in that area as it will cause the tint to fade faster. Also avoid any products that might further irritate the thin eyebrow skin, such as retinoids and retinols. It is good to apply a thin layer of Vaseline or Aquaphor to the surrounding skin as a form of protection barrier between the dye and your skin.
