What would you say if we told you your dreams were about to come true? With the help of a  new salon-grade treatment, in less than one hour, you can walk out of the salon with fabulous lashes that look great the moment you open your eyes or even step out of the pool.

Lash extensions have been all the rage for some time now, but there’s another lash service that can be seen all over social media, and is becoming the trendiest lash enhancement treatment in 2023.

More natural-looking than a lash extension treatment, the latest trend in lash enhancement, lash lifts and lash tints,  turn thin, listless lashes into lusciously long, full, curled lashes that make your eyes pop.

Essentially a perm for your eyelashes, this service lifts and curls your lashes for a seriously eye-opening effect. Unlike lash extensions, with a lash lift, only your real lashes are involved.

What to Expect During Your First Lash Lift

Normally, lashes grow straight out, rather than curled up. A lash lift  changes that by altering the shape of your natural lashes. A lash lift  treatment involves boosting and lifting each individual lash and setting them into place, giving them an incredibly thicker, fuller, and longer appearance that curls up instead of out. A lash lift curls your lashes from base to tip so you can see their full length. When combined with a lash tint, even the tiniest blonde hairs can become darker, appearing for the first time for many clients. It’s unbelievable the difference that tinting every last lash can have to achieve fabulous results.

When you walk into your first lash lift, the technician will instruct you to lie down on a bed and close your eyes. Unlike a wax or some other treatments, you won’t see what’s happening during your lash lift treatment. Though it’s not painful, it can be a little uncomfortable  for some clients who have a fear of the dark or are claustrophobic. But, for most clients, preparing them ahead of time helps to elevate their fears. Another thing to expect is that your eyes might tear a little. This is perfectly normal and will not have any negative impact on your results. Just keep your eyes closed and trust your technician. They got this!

Seven steps you can expect at your lash lift appointment: 

Step one: Silicone pads are placed on the (closed) eyelids. 

Step two: Your lashes are lifted and a serum is applied. This serum is used to break down the protein in the lashes. 

Step three: The lashes are then moulded and reshaped. 

Step four: A keratin-infused fixing serum is applied, which begins the process of restoring the lashes and conditioning them.

Step five: Tint is applied to the lashes. 

Step six: The silicone pads are removed.

Step seven:  A coat of pure keratin is applied to the lashes. This provides an extra layer of protein to strengthen and condition the lashes. 

How Long Does an Eyelash Lift Last?

Lash lifts last from five to eight weeks. Unfortunately, lash lifts aren’t permanent, so if you love the results, you’ll have to go back for a re-do.

How Much Do Lash Lifts Cost?

Similar to all beauty services, the cost for a lash lift will vary depending on where you live and the salon you visit. Generally speaking, in Australia, lash lifts can run anywhere from $80 to $175. While that’s not as inexpensive as good old fashioned tinting or waxing, it’s less pricey than eyelash extensions, and you don’t have to pay for touch-ups.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Lash Lift?

Just about anyone is a good candidate for a lash lift as long as they have healthy lashes. That’s why, if you’re planning on continuing to get lash lifts, it’s a good  idaea to use a conditioning lash serum in between visits to keep them that way.

And while extensions may be better for people looking for more dramatic results, lash lifts are good for clients with a desire for a more natural look.

What to Do Immediately After a Lash Lift 

The first 48 hours after a lash lift are the most critical when it comes to maintaining your fabulous lashes.

For the first two days, it’s important that you avoid getting water on your freshly lifted lashes. For this reason, we suggest that you avoid strenuous exercise that will cause you to sweat or showering during the first two days.

After 48 hours, brush your lashes every morning and evening. Then apply a lash serum to your lashes.  

Can You Do Your Own Lash Lift at Home? 

There are lots of DIY lash lift kits on Amazon, as well as plenty of YouTube tutorial videos of successful attempts. But DIY lash lifts are a lot easier to mess up than they are to get right, and since you’re dealing with your eyes, it’s best to let an experienced pro do what they do best. Using any type of chemical around the eye can be extremely dangerous. Everything from infections to blindness can happen if those chemicals get into your eyes, so although DIY lash lifts are out there,  just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

You can also run the risk of damaging the delicate lash hairs that you’re trying to beautify. When you get a professional lash lift and tint, those baby hairs will come to life, adding to your luscious lashes so do your best not to damage them. The bottom line is that even though there are many DIY kits out there, a lash lift and tint are probably not the best contenders for at home beauty treatments.

Frequently asked Questions Answered

1. Will a lash lift damage your lashes? 

Lash lifts will not damage your lashes if done properly. And, for many clients, getting a lash lift can be a motivator to take better care of their lashes.  

2. How long does a lash lift  last? 

Results of a lash lift and tint normally last about five to eight weeks. 

3. How do I maintain my lifted lashes?

The first 48 hours after a lash lift are the most critical when it comes to maintaining your fabulous lashes. 

For the first 48 hours, it’s important that you avoid getting water on your freshly lifted lashes. After 48 hours, brush your lashes every morning and evening. Then apply a lash serum to your lashes.  This can be anything from regular coconut oil to a high quality cosmetic serum. 

4. Can I use mascara on top of my lash lift? 

You can use mascara after a lash lift, but never waterproof formulaes. Waterproof mascara dehydrates the lashes. Though that’s what keeps it from coming off in the shower or swimming pool, it also causes breakage to the lash. 

5. Are lash lifts safe?

Yes. When performed properly, a lash lift is safe as long as it is done by an experienced, trained professional. DIY lash lifts and tints can pose potential dangers including anything from irritation to blindness. 

6. Are there any risks associated with lash lifts? 

Potential risks include skin irritation or allergies to the eyepatches or chemicals used in the process. If the chemicals used in the lift procedure are left on the lashes for too long, it can lead to breakage or lash damage. As far as the tinting portion of the procedure, some dyes used can lead to allergies or irritation if they come in contact with the skin.  If you’re longing for luscious lashes that will let you take your mascara and curler out of your morning repertoire, lash lifts and tints just might be the answer you’ve been hoping for.

The post Give Yourself a Lashes a Luscious Lift! Eyelash Tint and Lift Services That Will Make Your Eyes Pop appeared first on Specialist Skin Solutions.

Offering the same beautiful, thick, and perfectly polished eyebrows you’ve been seeing and envying on celebs and influencers all over social media, our brow experts are now able to manipulate our clients’ eyebrow hairs into their desired position, making those brow dreams a reality! And already, our clients can’t seem to get enough of the results.

First of all, what is eyebrow lamination?

Thanks to a fabulous new brow lamination treatment, impeccably styled eyebrows are just as attainable as beautiful designed hair. While many people describe it as a brow hair perm, (similar to soap brows and a lash lift) brow lamination is a non-invasive and pain free brow enhancement treatment that will do everything from trim and tidy your brows to completely transform them, creating the beautiful face frame you’ve always dreamed of, is simple, painless, and affordable.

If you’ve never heard of brow lamination, this article is for you! Brow lamination is an eyebrow treatment  that softens and repositions your natural brow hairs to create a fuller, thicker, smoother, and natural look with very little maintenance required.

What To Expect During a Brow Lamination Treatment

The whole brow lamination process, which takes around 40-50 min, begins with the brow stylist cleaning the eyebrows. Similar to a brow perm, brow lamination is a semi-permanent cosmetic treatment, performed by a brow expert, that involves applying a chemical solution to the natural brows to reshape the brow area and setting the eyebrow hairs in an upward position. Similar to a lash lift, brow lamination permanently sets the brow hairs, and ultimately reimages the frame of your face. 

By chemically breaking down the bonds in the eyebrow hairs, allowing them to be reshaped and set in a new direction, brow lamination leave the brows looking fuller, with a more defined shape that lasts for up to 8 weeks. The process is painless and typically takes less than an hour.

It’s worth noting that brow lamination is not suitable for everyone, and it’s important to consult with a trained brow expert before undergoing the treatment.

Does brow lamination hurt?

Brow lamination is a non-invasive procedure that, unlike micro blading, is completely pain free.

Steps to Follow Before and After Eyebrow Lamination Appointment

Now that you’ve made the decision to have your natural brows laminated, the next important step is to maintain them. To maintain beautifully laminated brows, following the correct aftercare is critical. Our easy-to-follow brow lamination before and aftercare tips will ensure that you get the very best results everytime, and that your brows remain fluffy and full for as long as possible.

As a part of your eyebrow lamination aftercare, it is crucial that you:

• Avoid getting the brow area wet for 24 hours.

• Avoid contact with direct sunlight, sunbeds, saunas, steam rooms, and swimming pools for the first 48 hours

• Avoiding excessive rubbing or touching of the treated area for 24 hours.

We also recommend that you follow these guidelines in the run up to and the days after your treatment:

• Avoid using exfoliating (AHA, BHA, or scrubs) and anti-ageing skincare around the brow area for three days before and after your treatment.

• Avoid self-tanning products (including gradual tan) on the face for three days before or after your treatment as it can discolour the eyebrow tint.

• Your stylist may apply some make up at the end of your treatment, however you should avoid applying any further heavy make up (foundations, etc) on the area around the brow for 24 hours.

Brow Lamination Before Care

Prior to your brow lamination appointment, we recommend that you follow these steps:

• Avoiding exfoliants, retinoids, or AHAs on your face for at least a week prior to your brow lamination treatment.

• After brow lamination, avoid tweezing for at least one week before your appointment.

• Arrive at your appointment without any makeup on your eyes or face.

Brow Lamination Aftercare

For the first 24 hours after your brow lamination treatment:

DON’T get your eyebrows wet (this includes bathing, showering, washing your face swimming, sweating, and any other activity that involves water.)

DON’T use a sauna.

DON’T use oil based products.

DON’T apply heavy creams, makeup, or makeup remover to your brows.

DON’T lay directly on your brows or sleep on your stomach.

Why it’s important not to get your brows wet after eyebrow lamination treatment

Probably the most important thing after brow lamination is not to get your eyebrows wet. Similar to a lash lift, keeping your brows dry for the 24 hours following your lamination treatment is very important. During the lamination process, we use an assortment of creams as well as a permanent gel to relax and shape your brows. If you get your eyebrows wet too soon after we finish applying these products, your brows do not have a chance to set with their new shape.

The main reason you must not get your brows wet within 24 hours of your treatment is that contact of water can affect the lamination procedure and affect the durability of the treated surface. In addition to avoiding washing your face, you should also refrain from swimming, taking a sauna, or entering a steam bath for the first full day following treatment.

How long does a brow lamination last?

A brow lamination will last about 6 to 8 weeks, provided that the appropriate aftercare steps are taken. The length of of tie your laminated brows will last can range from 3 to 8 weeks, depending on your growth pattern. Be sure to follow the “DON’TS” mentioned above for the first 24 hours following your treatment for longevity sake. In the 48 hours following your treatment, we do suggest applying a hydrating balm or a castor oil to your brows daily. We also recommend brushing your brows in an upright/styled position anytime following a shower (or after getting your brows wet) to help keep their new shape.

Can I wear makeup after brow lamination?

Though your brow stylist may use makeup during the procedure, we strongly advise that you avoid applying heavy makeup around the brows for at least 24 hours.
