A lash lift and tint is a minimal maintenance eyelash service performed by our advanced practice esthetician. The lash lift solution contains similar chemicals found in a traditional hair perm. During the service, each eyelash is pulled up onto a silicone mold and a lifting solution is applied to make the lashes curl upward. The curl can last from 4-6 weeks depending upon your lash growth cycle. A tint (black dye) can also be added to your lash lift for a more dramatic appearance. After this service, your eyelashes will appear thicker, darker, and longer.
Minimal aftercare is required for the service. You must avoid getting your eyelashes wet and avoid applying mascara for 24 hours after a lash lift. Then your lashes will hold their shape and you can go about your normal routine. A lash lift and tint can even be performed before cosmetic surgery to ease the burden of applying makeup during the recovery process and boost confidence.
Can I still use a lash serum or conditioner after a lash lift and tint?
A lash serum such as Latisse or Revitalash can be used before and after the service to enhance the length of your eyelashes and condition them. Lash serums can make the results from a lash lift and tint even more eye-catching.
What are the differences between lash extensions and a lash lift?
Eyelash extensions add volume by gluing individual fake eyelashes to your natural ones. Whereas a lash lift and tint will enhance the appearance of your own eyelashes by curling them. Extensions will require more maintenance and aftercare to prevent buildup and premature shedding. Extensions may also require more frequent appointments. A lash lift and tint appointment will only take 60 minutes and the results will last 4-6 weeks.
