What is a Lash Lift / Perm?

A lash lift, often referred to as a lash perm, is a beauty treatment that enhances the natural lashes by curling them at the base, creating the illusion of longer, more voluminous lashes without the need for extensions. The process involves applying a special solution to the lashes which helps them to maintain a beautiful, lifted curl for an extended period, typically 6 to 8 weeks. This treatment is perfect for those who want to make their lashes more defined and eye-catching while still keeping a natural look. It's a great option for anyone who desires a low-maintenance enhancement to their lash routine!

What is a Lash Bath?

A lash bath is a cleansing treatment designed for eyelash extensions. It helps to remove makeup, oils, and debris from the lashes, ensuring that both the natural lashes and extensions remain clean and healthy. This process is essential for maintaining the bond of the extensions and prolonging their lifespan. Regular lash baths can enhance the appearance of volume lashes, keeping them looking fresh and vibrant while also promoting good hygiene. This service is particularly beneficial for those who wear makeup frequently or have an active lifestyle.

What are Lash Extension Removal?

Lash extension removal is a careful and efficient process designed to safely take off extensions without causing any damage to your natural lashes, utilizing a specialized adhesive remover that ensures the integrity of your lashes remains intact. Here’s a detailed overview of the steps involved in the procedure:

1).  **Consultation**: Begin with a discussion to confirm the necessity of removal, addressing any concerns or questions you might have.

2).  **Preparation**: Before proceeding, the technician will meticulously clean the eye areas and apply protective pads around your eyes to safeguard the delicate skin.

3). **Application of Remover**: A safe adhesive remover is then applied using a small brush, ensuring precise and controlled application to the areas where the extensions are bonded.

4). **Timing**: It’s important to allow adequate time for the remover to effectively break down the adhesive, which is essential for a smooth removal process.

5). **Gentle Removal**: The extensions are then carefully removed without any tugging, ensuring that your natural lashes remain unharmed throughout the process.

6). **Post-Removal Care**: After the extensions have been removed, the technician will provide tailored aftercare advice to help maintain the health and integrity of your natural lashes.

7). **Follow-Up**: It is advisable to schedule a follow-up appointment to assess the health of your natural lashes and to discuss options for future extensions if you choose to continue enhancing your look.

This professional service is not just essential for lash health, but it also ensures that you can transition smoothly either back to your natural lashes or into new extensions when you're ready.

What is an Lash Consultation?

A lash consultation is a personalized session where a trained lash technician evaluates your natural lashes and discusses your desired look. During this consultation, you'll explore different styles, like volume lashes, which involve applying multiple lightweight extensions to each natural lash. This technique enhances thickness and drama, providing a bold and eye-catching effect.
