LIFT VS. TINT
What does each service actually do?
They're often booked together — but here's what each one brings to the table on its own.
THE LIFT
Curl & Lift
A chemical solution restructures the lash hair so it stays curled upward from the root — creating the appearance of more length, more volume, and wider, more open eyes. No curler required, ever.
​
Lasts: 6–8 weeks
THE TINT
Darken & Define
A semi-permanent dye darkens every lash from base to tip — including the fine, barely-visible lashes that mascara misses. The result is a defined, full lash line with no daily effort.
​
Lasts: 3-6 weeks

Before & after your appointment
A little prep makes a real difference in your results and how long they last.​
​
Come with clean lashes
Arrive with completely clean, makeup-free lashes. No mascara, eye makeup, or oily products around the eye area. Any residue on the lashes can interfere with the lift solution and affect your results.
​
Skip the contacts
Leave your contact lenses at home. Your eyes need to stay closed throughout the service, and contacts can cause discomfort during and after. Bring your glasses to wear home.
​
Stay dry for 24 hours
Keep your lashes completely dry for 24 hours after your appointment. No water, steam, saunas, hot showers near the face, or heavy sweating. The lift continues to set during this window — moisture will loosen the curl before it fully develops.
Protect your tint​Tint fades faster with sun exposure, steam, and oil-based products. To get the full 3–6 weeks out of your tint, minimize these where you can — especially in the first few days after your appointment.
When to come back
Most clients rebook every 6–8 weeks to maintain their lift. Your tint may fade before the lift does — you can come in for a standalone tint refresh between lift appointments if needed.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Is a lash lift safe for my natural lashes?
Yes — when done correctly and not repeated too frequently, a lash lift is safe for most natural lashes. We recommend waiting at least 6–8 weeks between lifts to allow your lashes to fully recover. The Elleeplex Re-Gen add-on is a great way to support lash health during the treatment, especially if your lashes are on the finer or more fragile side.​
​
Can I get a lash lift if I have extensions?
No — you'll need to have your extensions fully removed before booking a lash lift. Lifting over extensions can damage your natural lashes and won't produce a clean result. Book a lash removal appointment first, then wait at least two weeks before your lift.​
​
Will a lash lift work on very short or very straight lashes?
Lash lifts work on most lash types, but very short lashes (less than 4mm) may not have enough length to wrap the rod properly. Very straight or downward-pointing lashes are actually ideal candidates — the lift makes the most dramatic difference on those. Your provider will assess your lashes at your appointment and let you know what to expect.
​
What's the difference between a lash lift and lash extensions?
A lash lift works with your natural lashes — it enhances what you already have through a curling treatment. Extensions add synthetic lashes on top of your natural ones for more length and volume, but require regular fills and more maintenance. A lift is lower commitment, lower maintenance, and a great starting point if you've never had a lash service before.​
​
How long does the appointment take?
A standalone tint is about 30 minutes. A lash lift is 45–60 minutes. A lift and tint together takes about 60–75 minutes. Plan to arrive a few minutes early so your provider can get set up and do a quick lash assessment before starting.
