Updated: Aug 26

What is a lash lift

Are you curious about achieving effortlessly stunning, curled lashes without the daily hassle of mascara? A lash lift might be the perfect solution for you! This eye-opening treatment will transform your natural lashes, giving them a fuller, more defined look with minimal effort. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about lash lifts—from what they are and how they work to the benefits and aftercare tips. By the end, you'll have all the information you need to decide if a lash lift is right for you and how to get the most out of this transformative treatment.


What is a Lash Lift?

A lash lift is a beauty treatment designed to curl and lift your natural lashes from root to tip, giving them a fuller and more defined look. Unlike traditional eyelash curlers, a lash lift uses a small curling rod and a special lifting solution to reshape your lashes, making them appear longer and more voluminous. Learn more about our lash lift treatment and how it can enhance your natural beauty.


Lash Lift & Lash Btx: Enhanced Lifting Treatment

For those seeking an extra boost in lash health and appearance, we offer the Lash Lift & Lash Btx treatment. This advanced service combines the benefits of a traditional lash lift with a nourishing Botox-like solution that deeply conditions and strengthens your lashes. Lash Btx helps to repair and rejuvenate your lashes, making them more resilient and enhancing their natural shine. This treatment is perfect for individuals looking to not only lift but also restore the vitality of their lashes.


Lash Lift & Tint: Perfect Pairing

Enhance your lash lift with our Lash Lift & Tint service. This combination not only curls your lashes but also adds a rich, dark tint to them. Eyelash tint provides a more defined look and makes your lashes appear thicker and fuller, even without mascara. This is an ideal choice if you want to achieve a complete eye-enhancing look with minimal effort. While lash lifts and lash tints are separate services, they can be booked together for a complete eye-enhancing look. This combination is ideal if you want to maximize the impact of your lash lift and achieve a low-maintenance, yet stunning appearance.

PROCESS

Lash Lift Process

Here’s a step-by-step overview of what you can expect during your lash lift appointment:


  1. Patch Test: Before your treatment, a patch test is performed to ensure you don’t have any allergies or sensitivities to the solutions used.

  2. Preparation: Your technician will cleanse your eyelids and lashes to remove any makeup or oils. This step is crucial for achieving the best results.

  3. Curling Rod or Shield: Your lashes are attached to a chosen rod or shield with a bonding gel. This helps to shape the curl and lift effectively.

  4. Lifting Balm: A lifting balm is applied to break down the bonds in your lashes, allowing them to be reshaped. This step softens the structure of your lashes.

  5. Fixing Lotion: A fixing lotion is then applied to strengthen and set the new shape of your lashes.

  6. Tinting (Optional): For added definition, a tint may be applied to your lashes. This step enhances the colour and makes your lashes look fuller.

  7. Nourishing Solution: A nourishing solution is used to rejuvenate your lashes and remove any remaining dye or lotion.

Things to Keep in Mind Before Your Appointment


Before you head to your lash lift appointment, keep these important tips in mind to ensure the best results:


  1. Remove Eyelash Extensions: If you have eyelash extensions, make sure to remove them at least 3 days to 1 week prior to your lash lift appointment.

  2. Avoid Certain Products: Refrain from using waterproof mascara or curling your lashes for 2-4 days before your treatment. If you do need to curl them, try to avoid doing so on the day before your appointment.

  3. Skip Eye Makeup on the Day: Please arrive at your appointment without any eye makeup, including mascara, eyeshadow, and eyeliner.

  4. Clean Your Lashes: Remove all eye makeup with an oil-free makeup remover the day before your appointment.

  5. Wash Your Hair: It’s a good idea to wash your hair before your session, as you may need to avoid getting your lashes wet for up to 48 hours afterward.

  6. Sign a Waiver: Be prepared to sign a waiver before your lash lift begins.

  7. Remove Contact Lenses: Make sure to remove your contact lenses before the procedure starts.

  8. Consider Recent Eye Surgeries: If you’ve had any eye surgeries, such as eyelid lifts or LASIK, it’s best to wait at least 6-12 months before getting a lash lift.


By following these guidelines, you'll help ensure a smooth and successful lash lift experience.




Post-Treatment Care

To maintain the results of your lash lift, follow these aftercare instructions for detailed guidance on caring for your lashes post-treatment:

  • Avoid Moisture: For the first 24 hours, keep your lashes dry and avoid steam, water, and makeup removers.

  • Gentle Products: Use water-based mascara and avoid oil-based products around your eyes.

  • Avoid Rubbing: Don’t rub your eyes, as this can affect the curl and shape of your lashes.

  • Sleep Position: Try to sleep on your back to prevent your lashes from being pressed against the pillow.



Lash Lift vs. Lash Extensions: Which Is Right for You?

Both lash lifts and lash extensions offer unique benefits:


  • Lash Extensions: Provide a fuller, more dramatic look with synthetic lashes applied to your natural ones. They require regular touch-ups and can make your natural lashes more brittle. Explore the best eyelash extensions in Calgary to find out how they can enhance your look.

  • Lash Lifts: Enhance your natural lashes with a curled look. They are more low-maintenance and last longer compared to extensions, making them ideal for those who prefer a natural enhancement with minimal upkeep.

Choosing between a lash lift and extensions depends on your desired look, budget, and maintenance preferences. If you prefer a dramatic, voluminous effect and don't mind regular upkeep, lash extensions might be ideal. For a natural, long-lasting curl with less maintenance, a lash lift could be the perfect choice.


HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?


In Calgary, a lash lift typically costs around $85. The longevity of the results varies, lasting between 6 to 8 weeks, contingent upon your natural lash growth cycle and the level of care they receive. You can find more information about our lash lift service on our website.
