Yes! Lash lifts are totally safe. It involves using specially shaped silicone pads to gently lift and curl your eyelashes which is safer than other techniques. The only way it would damage your natural lashes in any way is if they are over processed or if the solution gets in your eye. This is easily avoided by getting your lash lifts at the recommended time frame (6-8 weeks) and only leaving the lifting solution on for the proper amount of time (determined by your esthetician). We are also sure to keep the solution strictly on the lashes and not on the water line to avoid any adverse reactions and it getting into your eye. By getting the service performed by experienced and skilled estheticians, it ensures you will have the best experience!
No, not if you follow all of the pre and post care advice in the What to Expect Section on our website. The lift solution is only applied to new lash growth and never to the ends of the lashes. We also fully assess the lashes to make sure they are healthy before we start the service.
Not at all! At first, when we apply the lashes to the rods, it may feel a bit strange. We will be gently pulling at the lashes during the service and you will feel when we take the lash tape off. For the majority of the service though, it’s very relaxing! This is your time to unwind. Just be sure to communicate with us about any problems that you may have with skin sensitivity, or any medications that might interfere with the brow lamination treatment.
Lash lifts will last for the full natural lash shedding cycle which is typically 6-8 weeks. When the lift is fully grown out, you can get another lift. You don’t want to get them too often at risk of over processing the lashes.
You should stop the use of your lash growth serum 48 hours before and after your lash lift service. Serums can cause a few complications for lash lifts. They work by extending the growth phase of the lash, which can change the result of your lift and lead to overprocessing if we aren’t careful. Those using Latisse will want to follow this advice as well. Just be sure to let us know that you are using a growth serum so we can ensure you get great results!
We do not recommend using castor oil (or any oil) for lash growth. Lash lifts can cause lash dryness and the lashes need to be able to absorb moisture to thrive. Castor oil doesn’t provide any nourishing properties for the lashes. It is a heavy oil which can cause the lash lift to drop prematurely. It is also thick and waterproof. It coats the lash and stops nutrients from penetrating the hair. This can then cause further damage by suffocating the hair and causing the hair to break off. Good aftercare will contain vitamins, proteins, & biotin to help nourish and feed the lashes to keep them strong and healthy.
Quality aftercare is essential in maintaining the results of your lash lift. When receiving a lash lift, you are chemically altering the hairs. Any time you do this, there’s going to be some aftercare required to boost hydration, condition, and nourish the hairs. Think of getting your hair colored. The hair will slightly change texture due to the chemical process and you will need to use a good conditioner to keep the hair healthy. That’s exactly what aftercare for lashes is, a daily conditioner.
We love Elleeplex Advanced Aftercare Serum! It has amino acids, keratin proteins, collagen, and vitamins to keep lashes as healthy as possible while providing shine. It also has sunflower extracts to help maintain color after tinting. These are superior ingredients that can make a huge difference in the quality of your lashes long term. It can also be used on brows! You can purchase it in store or on our online shop.
It depends on the length and quality of your natural lashes, but the lift can last for 6 to 8 weeks.
Lash extensions and lash lifts are 2 totally different services. We do not add any additional lashes to your eyes. All that we do is curl your natural lashes. Doing the lash lift can make your natural lashes appear fuller because they will be curled and tinted.
Of course! You’ll just achieve a more dramatic effect when mascara is applied to your lifted lashes. Just be careful though, the mascara wand will run through your lashes much faster and you might get mascara on your lids!
We recommend that you skip it. The chemical makeup of waterproof formulas can be extremely drying to your lashes. Also, think of how hard it is to remove. The tugging and pulling required to wipe off the mascara can damage the lashes and most people cannot remove it all. This results in weakened lashes that are prone to breakage and over shedding.
We want to ensure a great lash lift result. If you come in with makeup and we cannot remove it all, it will result in a poor lift. The lift solution and tint will not be able to penetrate the lash fully resulting in a poor lash lift.
Sometimes lashes that have a strong cowlick or slanted growth pattern are more resistant to curl. This is also true of very thick lashes. Also, growth patterns due to plastic surgery in the eye area are often not able to be corrected. Every individual will be different, but it is still definitely worth a try to do the service once and see how your lashes hold the curl!
Most of the time, yes. It can be challenging if the lashes aren’t long enough to bring up and back on to the shield. When we assess the lashes at your appointment, if we determine that your lashes are too short or too fine or delicate, we will advise against a lash lift. We will also suggest a lash growth serum in the meantime to help those lashes get long and healthy!
Yes! We use semi-permanent plant-based dyes that are all eye and skin safe.
Not at all! When tinting the brows or lashes just be sure to keep your eyes closed throughout the service.
No, not if you follow all of the pre and post care advice in the What to Expect Section.
Tinting results typically last between 3-4 weeks. The dye is semi permanent but won’t fade fast. However, your lashes and brows will naturally fall out during the shedding process. When this happens new hairs grow in their place. This can cause the lashes and brows to look lighter in color. For the best result, we suggest using oil-free creams and makeup removers around your eye area as well as keeping any tinted areas dry for at least 24 hours after the service.
Of course! This could even make them look longer and thicker since we coat the lashes from root to tip! Sometimes you don’t even realize how much lash is even there until you get them tinted!
As long as you have some hair for the tint to grab you should be good to go! If you have no hair, the tint may stain the skin but that look will not last more than a day or two.
No. Microblading and ombre brows are a type of permanent makeup that involves tattooing. While tinting may be a good way to see what your brows could look like with more color, it does not replicate the effects of permanent makeup. If you have no hair for the tint to hold on to, permanent makeup will be the route you would want to take.
Yes! Tinting just adds color to your natural lashes but doesn’t curl them. If you don’t do a lash lift, you can still wear mascara to add curl and even more drama to the lashes.
If you have naturally dark lashes, you may not see a huge color difference after tinting. Because we coat the entire hair shaft from root to tip, your lashes/brows will appear slightly darker and fuller. This is because the tips of your hairs are often lighter. There are also small, thinner hairs that are often much more light that the other hairs that get tinted which adds to the appearance of fullness.
If you’re trying to tint grey or white hair, the process is a little trickier. These hairs are thicker and tend to be more resilient than other hairs. We have a few tricks up our sleeves that we can try though! You might not get full coverage on those hairs but even a slight tinting makes a big difference!
We recommend not getting the lashes/brow wet for 24 hours after tinting to be on the safe side. After that, you’re good to go! You should also avoid excessive touching or rubbing for 24 hours to avoid irritation. Chlorine can also shorten the wear of your tint, so be wary if you’re a regular swimmer.
Too much brushing can lift your tint and contribute to hairs falling out quicker than they should. It’s best to brush them into place and then apply a brow gel to set them all day long. You can find our favorites here! Opting for a tinted brow gel also helps to add a bit of color to hold you over when you’re due for your next tint appointment.
As part of your brow tint aftercare, we recommend that you avoid anything that contains a tan or gradual tanning agents. The tan can react with the tint, leaving your brows a greenish shade. Just avoid fake tan for three days before and after your service. Also try to avoid exfoliators and anti-aging skincare on the brows and lashes, this will cause them to fade more quickly.
If you want seriously long-lasting results, it’s always best to go to a professional. At home dyes just aren’t the same, plus you don’t get the benefit of professional application or a color match. Your appointment includes a custom-blended tint, mixed specifically to your requirements. Also, be sure to avoid exfoliating ingredients on the hairs that are tinted and follow all of the pre and post care advice in the What to Expect Section.
Yes! Brow laminations are completely safe. There is always the possibility of stinging or an allergic reaction. We work carefully to ensure that the brow lamination solution is not placed anywhere it shouldn’t be. During the application process, we take care to minimize the chance of reaction and work with you to make sure you are comfortable throughout the entire service. There is also a chance that brow lamination can damage your brow hairs but only if they are over-processed. This is easily avoided by getting your brow laminations at the recommended time frame (6-8 weeks) and only leaving the lamination solution on for the proper amount of time (determined by your esthetician). By getting the service performed by experienced and skilled estheticians, it ensures you will have the best experience!
No, not if you follow all of the pre and post-care advice in the What to Expect Section. The lamination solution is only applied to new brow growth and if your brows haven’t grown out enough, we will have you come back at a later date to ensure the best results. We also fully assess the brows to make sure they are healthy before we start the service.
Not at all! Brow lamination is a non-invasive treatment, so it’s meant to be a painless process. There is a chance for slight stinging due to the chemical makeup of the brow lamination solution. For the majority of the service though, it’s very relaxing! Just be sure to communicate with us about any problems that you may have with skin sensitivity or any medications that might interfere with the brow lamination treatment.
Brow laminations will last for the full natural brow shedding cycle which is typically 6-8 weeks. When the lamination is fully grown out, you can get another treatment. You don’t want to get them too often at risk of overprocessing the brows.
You should stop the use of your brow growth serum 48 hours before and after your brow lamination service. Serums can cause a few complications for brow laminations. They work by extending the growth phase of the brow hairs, which can change the result of your lamination and lead to over-processing if we aren’t careful. Just be sure to let us know that you are using a growth serum so we can ensure you get great results!
We do not recommend using castor oil (or any oil) for brow growth. Brow laminations can cause dryness for the hairs in your brows and the brows need to be able to absorb moisture to thrive. Castor oil doesn’t provide any nourishing properties for the brows. It is a heavy oil which can cause the brow lamination to drop prematurely. It is also thick and waterproof.

Brow lamination is not permanent and usually lasts anywhere from 4-8 weeks, depending on your individual brow growth rate and how well you maintain your brows. To prolong your new brows, you will need to repeat the process every couple of weeks. Following the proper aftercare will help extend your results.
Brow lamination and microblading are completely different services. Microblading involves using “semi-permanent” dye strokes with a blade or tattoo machine to fill in your brows, while brow lamination straightens and lifts your natural hairs to achieve a full and feathered look, with no tattooing involved.
Both soap brows and laminated brows produce a feathery, full brow look, but the process of lamination lasts longer than soap brows. Creating soap brows involves wetting a spoolie with a product, like soap, brow gel, or pomade, and brushing your brows upward to produce a sculpted brow. Soap brows are basically a makeup technique and are temporary.
Brow lamination is almost like a perm for your eyebrows. It is very similar to the lash lift treatment. Both treatments enhance your natural hairs by manipulating the hairs with chemicals. Both treatments are paired with a tint for a bolder, more satisfying finish. It’s quite common for clients to get the lash lift and brow lamination treatments at once as they’re both great for enhancing your natural look.
Brow lamination is great for those who love a ‘brushed-up’ look and want to cut down on their getting-ready routine. This treatment makes the brow look thicker and fuller so anyone that has thinning hair, gaps in your brows from over tweezing or waxing, unruly hairs that tend to go different directions despite brushing them, or a lack of shape will benefit from this service. If you’re looking for longer-lasting results to keep your brow hairs in place, brow lamination is for you. If you’re on the fence, consult us before you count yourself out! The beauty of this service is that it can be customized to each person’s face shape, eye shape, and desired brow shape. Although the brushed-up, bold, fluffy brow is very in style, brows can be laminated in a variety of different ways.
It’s not advised that you try this treatment on yourself at home, or on anyone else without undertaking professional training first. Due to the professional-grade chemicals involved, it’s a treatment only a trained professional should perform. The chemicals used in the brow lamination treatment are pretty minimal, but if it gets in the eye or is left on too long it could be damaging. There are also some contraindications that dismiss certain clients from getting the service. As with any professional treatment, it’s important to work with a licensed and experienced provider that has gone through training.
Of course! This is why we always include the brow tint in the brow lamination service. If you naturally have sparse areas in your brows, then brushing brow hairs upwards can sometimes expose these areas. It just depends on your particular eyebrows, but a tint helps blend those areas together for a more uniform brow.
Remember those laminator machines from elementary school? Brow lamination is a lot like that! It’s the technique of covering a flat surface with a layer of plastic or some other protective material in an effort to keep it in place. After applying the lamination solution to the hairs, the brows are covered with plastic wrap to boost the chemical reaction and achieve the groomed end result. Since the hairs are relaxed into such a uniform position, they appear set in place, or ‘laminated’, once the service is finished!
Sometimes brows that have a strong cowlick or wild growth pattern are more resistant to the lamination process. This is also true of very thick brow hairs. Every individual will be different, but it is still definitely worth a try to do the service once and see how your brows retain the treatment!
