A Lash Lift is a revolutionary eyelash treatment which is designed to lift your natural lash at the root, creating the effect of longer, lifted lashes.

Treatment Time
Pre Lash Lift
Prior to treatment, you are required to receive a patch test. A patch test must be carried out at least 24-48 hours prior to the treatment date.
The result from the test will be either positive or negative:
- A positive result will be recognised by irritation, swelling or inflammation of the skin. If this occurs, please inform your technician and you must not proceed with the treatment.
- A negative result produces no skin reaction and you can proceed with the treatment.
If you are planning to receive any facial treatments, anti-wrinkle injections or fillers, ensure they happen after your lash lift. We advise you to not wait for 2 weeks from receiving these treatments or receive your lash lift beforehand.
Do not apply Retin-A, AHA or exfoliate around the area for three days on either side of the treatment
Please ensure you arrive at your appointment makeup-free and if you wear contact lenses they have been removed (remember to bring your glasses as your contacts cannot be put back in after your treatment).
Lashes cannot get wet for at least 24-48hrs post-treatment, nor can makeup be worn. So ensure you don’t have any events immediately following your treatment.
We also advise you to turn your mobile phone off during the treatment and that if you have driven to the salon you have sufficient parking paid for, it is essential you relax during the treatment as you will not be able to open your eyes. We advise keeping conversation to a minimum to prevent product moving.

FAQs
How it works
The structure of a single hair is made up of three parts: the hair cuticle, the cortex and the medulla. When the lifting solution is applied during the Lash Lift treatment, the hydrogen comes into contact with the air and oxidises. This creates a chemical process which breaks down the disulphide bonds in each hair, allowing them to move into a new shape. The next step is applying the neutralising solution, which reforms the disulphide bonds into their new shape.
This new shape of the eyelashes takes up to 48 hours for the disulphide bonds to lock into place and cure, which is why it is important to follow the correct aftercare for 48 hours post-treatment. If the lashes get hot or wet, they can fall back into their original state and the lift will drop or become over processed with excess heat.
Each step of the Lash Lift contains nourishing and hydrating ingredients such as:
- Cocoa Butter – Helps to moisturise and give your lashes a silky shine.
- Biotin – Known to strengthen the keratin bonds within the hair follicles, strengthening the lashes and enhances hair elasticity which enhances the lash lift.
- Hydrolysed Silk – A protein derivative that is highly hygroscopic with an enhanced moisture binding ability.
- Vitamin B3 – Stimulates hair growth and has been included in the formula to aid lash growth and provide fuller lashes.
