Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Lash Lift.

A Lash Lift typically lasts 6–8 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle and aftercare. Avoid oil-based products and excessive rubbing to extend results. Touch-ups are recommended every 6–8 weeks to maintain curl as lashes shed and regrow.

When performed by a trained technician using quality products, a Lash Lift poses minimal long-term risk. Proper technique and aftercare prevent breakage. Avoid frequent chemical treatments and consult us if you have weak or recently treated lashes to determine suitability.

Wait 24–48 hours before applying mascara to allow the lift to set. After that, water-based mascaras are recommended to avoid weakening the curl. Use gentle makeup removers and avoid oil-based formulas to preserve results.

Appointments typically take 45–60 minutes, including consultation, lash cleansing, lifting solution, neutralizer, and finishing touches. Time may vary based on lash length, desired lift intensity, and whether a lash tint is added.

At Essence Esthetics a lash tint may be offered as an add-on or included depending on package. Tinting darkens lashes for a mascara-like finish and enhances lift results. Ask during booking to include a tint if desired.

People with active eye infections, recent eyelid surgery, severe dry eye, or known sensitivity to perming solutions should avoid Lash Lifts. Pregnant or breastfeeding clients should consult their physician. A patch test and consultation determine individual suitability and safety.
