lash lifting
WHAT IS A LASH LIFT?
An eyelash lift, also known as a lash perm or lash enhancement, is a cosmetic procedure performed on the eyelashes to enhance their appearance and create a more wide-eyed and lifted look. It is a popular alternative to eyelash extensions for those who prefer a natural look or have sensitive eyes.
A specially formulated lifting solution is applied to the upper lashes during a lash lift. This solution contains chemicals that temporarily break down the bonds in the hair, allowing them to be molded and shaped. The technician then uses a silicone or rod-shaped device to lift the lashes from the base, curling them upward and creating a natural-looking curve.
Once the lashes have been lifted, a setting lotion is applied to help the new shape hold. This lotion helps restructure the lashes, keeping them lifted and curled for an extended period. Depending on the product used, the process may also involve tinting the lashes to enhance their colour and further emphasize their appearance.
The entire lash lift procedure typically takes about 60 minutes to complete. It is a relatively comfortable process; clients keep their eyes closed throughout the treatment. Some people may experience a mild tingling sensation or slight discomfort while applying the solutions, but it is generally well-tolerated.
Lash lifts last until the lash falls out in its natural growth cycle - this is about 90 days. But, you may find your lashes looking like they have fallen sooner thanks to new growth. You can get your eyelashes re-lifted every 2 month at the very least this way you won’t damage your lashes.
How do I maintain it?
Lash lifts are low maintenance but the first 24 hours of aftercare are critical! You'll need to keep your lashes dry for the first 24 hours after the procedure.

brow lamination
WHAT IS BROW LAMINATION?
A Brow lamination is a semi-permanent procedure on the eyebrows that involves reshaping and setting the eyebrow hairs to create a more defined, fuller, and groomed look.
A Brow lamination helps to tame unruly brow hairs, fill in sparse areas, and achieve a more symmetrical and polished appearance.
During the brow lamination process, products are applied to the eyebrows to manipulate the hair follicles and reshape the brows. The technician begins by thoroughly cleansing the brow area and assessing the client’s desired shape and style. A gentle chemical solution is applied to the brows. This solution helps to break down the hair structure, making it more malleable for reshaping.
The brow hair is lifted upwards, setting it in the desired position.
A neutralizer locks the hair into its new shape and conditions it.
Removing excess hair will refine the brow shape and create a more defined arch.
To complete the process, some technicians may also tint the brows during the lamination process to enhance their colour and overall appearance. The usual time frame for completing the entire process is around 60 minutes.
A brow lamination typically lasts from four to six weeks. Depending on how well you look after your brows, it can last up to eight weeks. After the four to six-week period, it's recommended that you get your brows re-laminated in order to maintain the look over a longer period of time.
