Is a lash lift better than extensions for me?

If you want the lowest maintenance and a natural look that uses your own lashes, a lift is usually the better fit. If you want maximum density and do not mind fills every few weeks, extensions win. We are happy to talk through which suits your routine.

Will it work if my lashes are short or straight?

Usually yes. A lift lives on your natural length, so very short lashes see a subtler change, but the curl and tint still open up the eye. We will set honest expectations before we begin so you know what to expect.

Can I wear mascara after a lash lift?

You can, though most people find they no longer need it. If you want a little extra for an event, wait 24 hours and use a gentle, oil-free formula so the curl holds its shape.

The short answer

What is a lash lift and tint?

A lash lift is a gentle perm that curls your natural lashes upward from the base, and a tint darkens them, so your eyes look open and defined without extensions or mascara. It uses the lashes you already have, lasts six to eight weeks, and needs almost no daily upkeep.

What to expect

Before you book, the honest details.

Will it hurt?: No. Your eyes stay gently closed and the products sit on your lashes, not your skin or your eyes. Most people find it relaxing and simply rest through it.
How long does it take?: Plan on about 45 to 90 minutes from start to finish, including the tint. You can go straight back to your day afterward.
Is there any downtime?: Almost none. We ask you to keep the lashes dry and away from steam for the first 24 hours so the curl sets, and after that there is nothing to think about.
How long does it last?: Six to eight weeks, fading gradually as your lashes grow out and shed. There is no fill to keep up with; when it relaxes, you simply book again if you loved it.
