Question 1

What is a lash lift?

Accepted Answer

A lash lift is a professional treatment that curls and lifts your natural lashes from the base, creating a longer, more open-eyed look without extensions or daily curling. Results typically last 6–8 weeks, depending on your lash growth cycle and aftercare.

Question 2

How long does a lash lift last?

Accepted Answer

Most lash lifts last 6 to 8 weeks. Some clients even reach the 10 week mark! Longevity depends on:
Your natural lash growth cycle
Proper aftercare
Avoiding excessive rubbing or waterproof mascara
Because lashes shed naturally, results fade gradually rather than all at once.

Question 3

Is a lash lift safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes — lash lifts are generally safe when performed by a trained professional using high-quality products and proper technique. Safety depends heavily on:
Correct shield placement
Proper timing
Professional-grade solutions
Eye protection and sanitation
A lash lift should never burn or cause pain.

Question 4

Is a lash lift safe for sensitive eyes?

Accepted Answer

A lash lift can be safe for sensitive eyes when precautions are taken. Sensitive clients may be more prone to redness or watering, which is why professional product selection, shorter processing times, and careful monitoring are essential. Always inform your technician if you have sensitive eyes, allergies, or dry eye conditions.

Question 5

Does a lash lift hurt?

Accepted Answer

No. A lash lift should be comfortable and pain-free. You may feel light pressure or awareness, but burning, stinging, or discomfort is not normal and should be addressed immediately during the service.

Question 6

How long does a lash lift appointment take?

Accepted Answer

A typical lash lift appointment takes 60-70 minutes, depending on:
Lash length and thickness
Desired curl intensity
Whether a lash tint is added

Question 7

Can I wear mascara after a lash lift?

Accepted Answer

Yes — after the first 24 hours.
 For best results:
Avoid waterproof mascara if you have sensitive eyes
Use a gentle, oil-free makeup remover
Brush lashes daily with a clean spoolie

We strongly advise to not use waterproof mascara after a lash lift.

Question 8

What should I avoid after a lash lift?

Accepted Answer

For the first 24 hours, avoid:
Water, steam, or swimming
Saunas and hot yoga
Eye rubbing
Heavy creams or oils near the lash line
After 24 hours, normal routines can resume with gentle care.

Question 9

Can I get a lash lift if I wear contacts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Contact lenses are safe to wear during a lash lift, though some clients prefer to remove them for added comfort. Let your technician know your preference before the service begins.

Question 10

Who should avoid getting a lash lift?

Accepted Answer

You may need to avoid or postpone a lash lift if you have:
Active eye infections (styes, pink eye)
Recent eye surgery (LASIK, cataract surgery)
Severe dry eye syndrome
Known allergies to lash products
Active eyelid dermatitis or eczema
When in doubt, consult your provider before booking.

Question 11

How often can I get a lash lift?

Accepted Answer

Most professionals recommend waiting 6–8 weeks between lash lifts to allow a full lash growth cycle and maintain lash health.

Question 12

What’s the difference between a lash lift and lash extensions?

Accepted Answer

Lash lift: Enhances your natural lashes by curling them
Lash extensions: Adds synthetic lashes for length and volume
Lash lifts are lower maintenance and ideal for clients who want a natural look without fills.

Question 13

Do lash lifts damage your natural lashes?

Accepted Answer

When done correctly, a lash lift should not damage your lashes. Damage typically occurs from:
Overprocessing
Improper timing
Low-quality products
Repeated lifts too close together
Professional application and proper spacing between treatments are key.

Question 14

How do I prepare for a lash lift?

Accepted Answer

For best results:
Arrive with clean lashes (no mascara)
Avoid waterproof makeup 24 hours prior
Skip lash serums 24–48 hours before
Avoid retinol around the eyes for 5–7 days

Question 15

Why choose a professional lash studio for a lash lift?

Accepted Answer

Your results — and safety — depend on:
Technician training
Product quality
Sanitation standards
Customization based on your lash health
At The Parlour, lash lifts are customized for your eye sensitivity, lash condition, and desired result — never rushed or one-size-fits-all.
