How do I know I am a good candidate for a Lash Lift only or a Lash Lift and Lash Tint?
Simply put, most anyone is a candidate for Lash Lifting/Tinting. However, it is important for the client that is not sure if their lashes are “good enough” (strong, long, etc.) for this service might consider scheduling a quick consultation to determine the appropriateness of the service in general as well as the style an look the client is trying to achieve. If you choose not to get the consult and just go for it, that of course is perfectly fine as well. As a professional lash stylist that will always place your lash health as a top priority, L-T Wellness will always give recommendations that places the highest importance on keeping your natural lashes healthy and looking their best.
How long does the service take and what is the process like?
Lash Lifting is a 3 step process. Lash Lifting with Lash Tinting is a 4 step process. The length of the actual service depends on the condition and structure of the client’s natural lashes themselves. For example, a client wit naturally long, thick, or even darker lashes, may take a longer time process versus a client having naturally thinner, shorter or lighter lashes. Therefore, the time that is set aside for your appointment is a close estimate. the treatment itself may or may not require additional or less time depending on that particular client’s natural lashes ability to process the first and second step of the lash lift.
as far as the process itsef, Before the first step, the client’s natural lash length will be measured to determine the best fit and designer your eye shape, lash length as well as lash direction. Next, the lashes are meticulously place on top of a silicone shield or rod on the client’s eyelid sans once all the lashes re perfectly place, the lash lifting treatment can begin. Step one has a lifting solution that is carefully applied and a timer is set and additional time at this point may be added until the lashes have achieved a satisfactory status, step one is removed and it is then time to move on to step two. Step two is basically the same protocol as step one, but slightly shorter in time length. Once step two is complete, the solution is removed and it is time for step three, which can either be a kertain lash conditioning and rejuvenation treatment OR the other option for step three, the tinting part of the service. Step four in this instance would be the keratin step. Before the keratin step, the client’s lashes will be throughly, yet gently cleansed with cotton applicators and distilled water. Once cleansed, the lashes are groomed with a disposable styling wand and a lash fan to reveal the client’s new and improved gorgeous lashes!!!
IMPORTANT QUESTION TO NOTE!!! How do I need to prepare for the service and what do I need to avoid after my service?
All Lash Lifting/Tinting clients should arrive to their appointment with no makeup on and be prepared to not expose their lashes to steamy, hot temperatures. In other words, it’s best to take your hot shower before coming to the appointment because you will not be able to do so for 24 hours post lash lift and tint. Think no saunas, steam showers, tanning beds, hot yoga/pilates, aerobic actives and any sport that creates sweat. In addition, do your best not to sleep on your face/stomach or one your side where your lashes can become “smooshed or crimped” due to the excessive pressure or friction to the lashes themselves. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE PRE AND POST CARE RECOMMENDATIONS WILL DIRECTLY AFFECT THE LONGEVITY AND QUALITY OF YOUR LASH LIFTING AND TINTING SERVICE!
