What is a lash lift? A lash lift is a professional treatment that curls, lifts, and defines your natural lashes from base to tip. Think of it as a semi-permanent perm for your natural lashes, creating the illusion of longer, more awake, and fuller eyes without adding artificial extensions.
What is the difference between a Traditional Lash Lift and a Korean Lash Lift? While both elevate and curl your natural lashes, they use different chemical formulations and styling methods:
Traditional Lash Lift: Utilizes a standard thioglycolate-based system to break down and reform the hair’s internal disulfide bonds over a silicone shield. It produces a dramatic, upward curl and crisp lift.
Korean Lash Lift: Utilizes a milder, low-pH, cysteamine-based or keratin-infused system. Instead of abruptly resetting the bonds, it gently softens the hair structure while infusing strengthening peptides and conditioning agents. It yields a softer, glossy, natural curve with virtually zero risk of overprocessing or frizzing, making it ideal for downward-pointing, coarse, or sensitive natural lashes.
Which lift should I choose: Traditional or Korean?
Choose Traditional if you prefer a high-impact, visible upward vertical lift (a dramatic "open-eye" mascara look) and have medium-to-strong natural lashes.
Choose Korean if your natural lashes are fine, dry, or brittle, or if you prefer a soft, rounded, effortlessly defined "clean girl" aesthetic with high-gloss hydration and ultra-gentle regrowth.
How long does a lash lift last? Both Traditional and Korean lifts last between 6 to 8 weeks, depending on your natural lash shed cycle. As your natural lashes shed and new, untreated lashes grow in, the lift gradually and softly relaxes.
Will a lash lift damage my natural lashes? No, when performed by a licensed professional using precision timing and placement. We select the shield size and processing duration based strictly on your lash diameter and health. Korean lash lifts offer an added margin of hair health due to their nourishing, low-pH cysteamine active ingredients and bond-repairing steps.
How do I prepare for my lash lift appointment?
Arrive with completely clean, bare eyes (no mascara, eyeliner, shadows, or residue).
Discontinue the use of waterproof mascara at least 48 hours prior to your visit.
Stop using mechanical eyelash curlers 24 hours prior.
Remove contact lenses before your treatment begins.
What is the required aftercare for a lash lift?
First 24 hours: Keep lashes completely dry. Avoid water, heavy steam, saunas, rigorous workouts, and facial oils.
Sleeping position: Sleep on your back the first night to avoid crushing or reshaping the newly set curl against your pillow.
Daily maintenance: After 24 hours, apply a nourishing lash conditioner or keratin serum daily to maintain flexibility, gloss, and hydration. You may wear non-waterproof mascara after 24 hours if desired.
Can I get a lash lift if I have short lashes? Yes. We carry custom shield and rod sizes designed specifically to capture and elevate shorter lashes right from the root, maximizing every millimeter of visible length.
