Lash Lift post care is easy. Technically you can wash your face the evening of your service, however, allowing your eyelashes to soak so soon after will undo the process. As a result, we recommend that you try to avoid water in the eye area for 48 hours after your service.
If you must wash your face after your Lash Lift, do it as fast as possible and dry your eyelashes immediately with q-tips or soft tissue paper such as Kleenex.
How do I prepare for a lash lift?
It is always a good idea to wash your hair the day of your appointment. This way you can keep showers short for the first two days after your service. This minimizes the chances of accidentally soaking your eyelashes.
For contact lense wearers, another tip includes wearing your glasses to your appointment. While most of the time the service goes smoothly, on rare occasions the eyes may need to be flushed with water. This usually happens when the client accidentally opens their eyes even slightly during the service. It is best to return to wearing your contacts the morning after your Lash Lift service.
Finally, some clients like to prepare for their Lash Lift by using a lash growth serum such as Adoreyes. While not necessary for most clients, we recommend this for clients that are recovering their eyelashes from recent Lash Extensions, or for clients with particularly short eyelashes.
Can I wear eyeliner with a lash lift?
After the first 48 hours, Lash Lift post care becomes even easier. You can wear mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow- the works! You can wash your face as usual. We recommend always brushing your eyelashes with a spoolie. This will help your eyelashes grow strong over time- just remember to keep the spoolie clean!
Welcome to our online lash lift gallery! We have been lifting eyelashes in Edmonton, Alberta for over 10 years. Over time, we have collected many ‘before and after’ lash lift pictures. We update our online gallery whenever possible.
Lash Lifts work in 3 easy steps! The first step is to open the bonds in the hair, giving flexibility within the mid shaft where the curl is found. The second step sets the lashes into position and seals the hair shaft. The third step reintroduces moisture back into the lashes.
Lash lifts can last up to 12 weeks depending on after-care products used and thickness of lashes. Minimize rubbing and use gentle products on eye area. Thick lashes are more resistant and will fall faster than thin lashes.
Lash Lift and Tint
You must also avoid water, makeup, and pressure on the lashes for 48 hours. Afterwards you can return to your regular routine and products.
It is recommend that clients wait 12 weeks between lash lifts. This allows your hair to recover and regenerate new growth.
Before Booking, are there any allergies you should be aware of?
It is rare for reactions to occur as the products are kept strictly on the lashes. People who have sensitivity to latex are not recommended to have the service, as the adhesive used does contain latex.
If you have ever reacted to artificial lash glue used for strip lashes, you are at risk of having a reaction. Typical allergic reaction will cause the eyes to swell for up to 72 hours.
What constitutes a bad Lash Lift? While a Lash Lift is a simple service that delivers instant results in a short amount of time, there are a few things that can go wrong.
Why is my lash lift so curly?
Most times getting a Lash Lift is a time of joy! As Service Providers, we have different size options to choose from based on the length of your natural eyelashes. Typically, we select small pads for smaller eyelashes. But sometimes, the Service Provider will select a smaller pad to achieve a tighter curl, especially when dealing with very straight lashes. Sometimes the risk does not pay off and the curl can be too tight making it difficult to wear.
In these instances, you can only wait for the curl to relax on its own. At the very least an overly tight curl at the beginning will last you an extra couple weeks longer.
How do you fix frizzy eyelashes after lash lift?
Over-processing is another thing that can go wrong during a Lash Lift. Over-processing can happen when the chemical solution is left too long, or the eyelashes are lifted too soon after a Lash Lift.
Fixing frizzy lashes comes down to restoring the eyelashes. Strengthening your lashes can be as simple as brushing them with a spoolie after washing your face in the morning and evening. Some people apply nourishing creams or even vaseline on the lashes. However, we recommend against this as it can cause styes in the eyes.
If you would like to apply a nourishing substance on the lashes prior to your Lash Lift, we recommend something that is specific for the eyelashes, such as Adoreyes Lash Enhancing Serum.
Why are my eyelids so puffy after lash lift?
An allergic reaction is another thing that can go wrong in a Lash Lift.
It is rare for reactions to occur as the products are kept strictly on the lashes. People who have sensitivity to latex are not recommended to have the service, as the adhesive used does contain latex.
If you have ever reacted to artificial lash glue used for strip lashes, you are at risk of having a reaction. Typical allergic reaction will cause the eyes to swell for up to 72 hours.
