There's a beauty treatment in town that's promising amazing lashes and becoming more and more popular. Lash lifts are becoming a go-to treatment for beauty addicts because they claim to give your lashes enviable volume — without the use of a curler.

Eyelash Extensions makes lashes look fuller without the need for mascara, and come in a range of materials, but lash lifts are a perm for your lashes. The treatment typically last six to eight weeks.

A lash lift is designed to enhance your natural lashes in a natural way. They are curled using perming solution, a solution that has stood the test of time over the last 4-5 decades and was originally done by hairdressers.

It's ideal if you don't want the maintenance or added volume of extensions, as you don’t need to come in as frequently for touch-ups.

A lash lift can transform your lashes in 45 minutes. In order to give lashes a curled effect, the technician works from the lash base to the tip to see its full length. Depending on the desired curl, the technician uses a different type of rod: The larger the rod, the softer the curl.

I always recommend doing a lash tint and a lash lift at the same time. It will lift and darken your natural lashes and create a balanced, effortless look.
