Professionals use numbered rods labeled by diameter, typically 5 sizes from 3 mm to 6 mm. Smaller rods create a tight curl, larger rods give a soft wave. The lotions come in two numbered steps: step 1 is the perm solution, step 2 is the neutralizer. Lifting pads, silicone shields, and a keratin-infused serum complete the kit.
A lash lift is a chemical perm for your natural lashes. A setting lotion breaks the bonds of the hair, a rod shapes the curl, and a neutralizer locks it in. The result is an upward curl that lasts about 6 to 8 weeks, depending on your growth cycle. No extensions or mascara are needed.
Redness, itching, or swelling within 24 hours points to an allergic reaction. Stop the treatment and rinse with cool water. Over-curled or crimped lashes need time to grow out, about 6 to 8 weeks. Brittle or broken lashes respond to castor oil applied nightly. If the curl drops in under 2 weeks, the solution likely was rinsed too early.
Ask how many lifts the technician has done and whether they are certified. Request the brand and batch number of the lifting solution. Confirm patch tests are available if you have sensitive skin. Ask what rod sizes they stock and what tint options they carry. Check that lashes are not glued together after the procedure and that aftercare is explained.
A standard lash lift appointment lasts 45 to 60 minutes from start to finish. The timing depends on lash thickness, hair type, and how well the product processes on your eyes. Plan to lie still with closed eyes the entire time. No downtime is needed afterward, so you can drive, work, or wear sunglasses immediately after leaving the chair.
Base price covers the lift alone. Adding a lash tint usually adds 10 to 15 minutes and a small fee. Premium keratin serums or branded lotions cost more than generic formulas. Mobile services add a travel fee. Location density, technician experience, and salon overhead also shift the final number you pay.
Redness, itching, or swelling on the lid means a reaction to the solution. Rinse the eye with cool water and contact a doctor if it persists. A weak or uneven curl within 2 days points to under-processing or a rod that was too large. A frizzy look suggests over-processing. Most issues can be corrected after 4 to 6 weeks.
Ask which brand of solution they use, how many applications they do per week, and whether the room has ventilation. Confirm that the tools are sanitized between clients and that the technician can show a certificate from the product manufacturer. Ask for a patch test at least 24 hours before your appointment if you have reactive skin.
Plan for about 45 to 60 minutes in the chair. The first 10 to 15 minutes cover consultation and eye prep. The lifting lotion stays on for roughly 8 to 12 minutes, followed by the neutralizer for another 8 to 10 minutes. Tinting adds about 10 more minutes if you choose that add-on.
A lash lift usually lasts 6 to 8 weeks, the natural growth cycle of an eyelash. Tinted lifts keep their color for about 3 to 4 weeks before fading. Book a repeat only when the new growth looks uneven, not on a fixed calendar. Doing lifts back to back weakens the hair. Most clients space sessions 8 to 10 weeks apart for safe regrowth.
