Every lift is with Vimala, from the first look at your lashes to the last brush-through.
Lash lift
Your own lashes, curled.
A lash lift curls your own lashes upward from the root, so they look lifted and open without anything added to them. It suits straight lashes, and anyone who would rather skip the curler.
A visit takes about an hour. Most clients come back every six to eight weeks.
What happens in the chair
- 01
Step 1: A look at your lashes
I check their length, direction and condition, and we agree on the curl you want.
- 02
Step 2: Settling in
You lie back with your eyes closed and eye pads in place while your lashes are cleaned and separated.
- 03
Step 3: The lift
Your lashes are set on a small silicone shield and left to take the curl. This is the longest part, and you can rest through it.
- 04
Step 4: The finish
The shield comes off, I brush your lashes through, and we go over aftercare.
Before you book
A patch test
Book one before a first lift. It helps, but it doesn't predict every reaction. Tell me about any allergies.
Come bare-eyed
No eye makeup, curler or oil-based products near your eyes that day, and take contact lenses out before we start.
Who should wait
If your eyes or the skin around them are red, sore or irritated, wait and talk to your doctor first.
After your lift
The first day
Keep your lashes dry, skip eye makeup, and try not to rub your eyes.
Every six to eight weeks
That is how often most clients return for another lift.
If something feels wrong
If you notice burning, swelling, redness or blurred vision, tell me and call your doctor or go to urgent care.
Your artist
Your lift is with Vimala.
Two questions
Can I wear mascara afterward?
Skip it for the first day. After that you can wear it if you like.
Is a lift the same as extensions?
No. A lift shapes your own lashes and adds nothing to them. I don't do extensions.
