What is a Lash Lift and How Does it Work?
A lash lift is a semi-permanent treatment that enhances your natural eyelashes without the need for extensions. The process involves curling and lifting your lashes from the base, giving them a more voluminous and lengthened appearance. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how a lash lift works:
- Preparation: Your technician will cleanse your lashes to remove any makeup, oil, or dirt.
- Shield Selection: A silicone shield is chosen based on your desired curl level and placed on your eyelid.
- Adhesion: Your lashes are adhered to the shield using a gentle adhesive.
- Lifting Lotion: A lifting lotion is applied to the lashes, breaking down the protein bonds in the hair, allowing them to be reshaped.
- Setting Lotion: After the lifting lotion is removed, a setting lotion is applied to rebuild the protein bonds and set the lashes in their new shape.
- Nourishment: Finally, a nourishing lotion is applied to condition and strengthen the lashes.
A lash lift typically lasts for 6-8 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle. This treatment is perfect for those looking for a low-maintenance option to enhance their eyes.
What is Brow Lamination and What Does it Involve?
Brow lamination is a treatment designed to give your brows a fuller, more defined look by repositioning the hairs. It’s ideal for anyone with sparse or unruly brows who wants a more polished appearance. Here’s how the process works:
- Consultation: Your technician will discuss your desired brow shape and fullness.
- Preparation: The brows are cleansed to remove any oils or makeup.
- Lifting Solution: A lifting solution is applied to the brows, softening the hair and making it easier to shape.
- Shaping: The hairs are brushed into the desired position, often in an upward and outward direction.
- Setting Solution: A setting solution is applied to lock the hairs in place.
- Nourishment: A nourishing serum is used to condition and strengthen the brow hairs.
Brow lamination results can last between 4-6 weeks, and it’s a great way to achieve a sleek, defined look without daily maintenance.
