A lash lift is a treatment that curls and lifts your own lashes from the root, so they look longer and the eyes more open, for six to eight weeks. It adds nothing: it works with your natural lash, which is why it needs no upkeep or infills. At nails and the city it includes tint, so the effect is that of wearing mascara without wearing it.
What a lash lift is
It is a perm for the lashes, done with modern products that respect the hair. The lash is shaped over a silicone shield stuck to the eyelid and the new curve is set with two lotions, just as in brow lamination. It is then tinted to darken and add density.
Our lash lift with tint takes 60 min and costs €44.90.
How it is done, step by step
- Cleansing of the lashes, with no trace of make-up or oil.
- Protecting the lower lid with a pad.
- A silicone shield on the upper lid, sized to the curve wanted: smaller for more curl, larger for more lift.
- Combing each lash onto the shield, one by one.
- First lotion, which softens the hair structure, 8 to 12 minutes depending on thickness.
- Second lotion, which sets the new shape, the same time.
- Tint, 5 to 10 minutes, to darken and add density.
- Nourishing lotion with keratin to seal the hair and add shine.
It is done with the eyes closed and most clients relax or fall asleep.
How long a lash lift lasts
Six to eight weeks, the time the lash takes to renew. It does not "drop" all at once: new lashes grow in straight and gradually replace the curled ones. It can be repeated every six to eight weeks; sooner is not advisable, because the lash needs that time to recover.

Who it is for
A lash lift shows more the longer the natural lashes are, because the curve makes them visible. It works very well on straight or downward-pointing lashes, which change the most. If your lashes are very short, the effect is subtler and the tint is what shows most.
It is not advisable with eye infections or irritation, or during active cancer treatment without medical advice. If you wear contact lenses, they come out for the session.
Aftercare
- First 24 hours: no water, steam, mascara or rubbing your eyes. The curve finishes setting in that time.
- Afterwards: your normal routine. You can swim, shower and wear make-up.
- Avoid waterproof mascara, which needs rubbing to remove and straightens the lash.
- A serum or castor oil at night, from the second day, keeps the lash flexible and nourished.
- Do not use a lash curler: they are already curled and a curler snaps them.
To complete the look, brow lamination follows the same principle on the brow, and both can be done in the same appointment at the brow bar. You can book through Treatwell or write to us.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a lash lift last?
Six to eight weeks, the time the lash takes to renew. New lashes grow in straight and gradually replace the curled ones, so the effect softens rather than disappearing all at once.
Does a lash lift damage the lashes?
No, if the lotion timings are respected and at least six weeks are left between appointments. Doing it more often does dry them out. A nourishing serum at night helps keep them strong.
Can I wear mascara after a lash lift?
Yes, after 24 hours. Regular mascara rather than waterproof: waterproof needs rubbing to remove and straightens the curve early. Many clients stop using it because the tint already gives the effect.
How much does a lash lift cost?
€44.90, tint included, in a 60 min session. Lash tint alone, without the lift, is €18.90.
Lash lift or lash extensions?
A lift if you want a natural result, no upkeep and respect for your own lash: it lasts six to eight weeks and needs no infills. Extensions if you want lots of volume and length and do not mind coming back every two or three weeks.
