The Lash Lift at Mojo Beauty
A lash lift, or lash perm is a professional beauty service in which estheticians, beauty therapists, take a client’s natural eyelash and use perm-like solutions, specially formulated for use near the eye, to permanently curl lashes upwards.
Nik uses a clipper to position the upper lashes upward. She will then apply the first lotion, a lifting lotion, which breaks down the proteins in the hair allowing the lash shape to be changed. The second lotion, the setting lotion, re-builds the proteins which sets the lashes into the desired shape.
Benefits of a lash lift: Clients do not have to curl their lashes daily, and when paired with a lash tint as lifts typically are, clients don’t even have to apply mascara! From first thing in the morning to the end of the day, even post-swim lashes maintain their soft natural upward curl with little to no work.
You can also apply mascara safely over a lash tint to add even more volume to the natural lash.
Cons to a lash lift: A lash lift enhances a client’s natural lash so if lashes are short the lift will not provide impactful results. If this is the case we recommend clients a lash serum to strengthen and lengthen lashes to get them ready for a lift after just 2 months of use.
Lash lifts do have risks associated with the service. It is a chemical formula being applied near the eye so the service should only be performed by a trained professional at Mojo Beauty.
How long does a lash lift service take? 30 minutes! At Mojo Beauty, a lash lift and tint combined service should take no longer than 30 minutes!
How long does a lash lift last? 6-8 weeks but this does depend on where the clients are in their lash life-cycle. Lashes typically fall out every 6-8 weeks so the lift will only fade once lashes begin to drop. It is not recommended to get a lash lift more than every 8 weeks as too many lifts can potentially cause damage to lashes.
Where can I get a lash lift service done? Nik at Mojo Beauty is one of the first Lash Lift Artists in Christchurch and could most likely do a lift with her eyes closed.
