Lash Lift FAQ

What is a lash lift?

Lash Lift is a 1 hour treatment that permanently lifts and curls your eyelashes from the roots, to maximise their appearance by making them look longer, curled & fuller.
The lift instantly brightens up your eyes & leaves you looking refreshed, more awake & even younger.
Lash Lift Queen is renowned for being able to provide amazing results on all lash types & lengths - even those with the most stubborn lashes who have experienced failed results elsewhere will get incredible results here.

 

What’s the difference between a regular lash lift & the keratin lash lift at Lash Lift Queen?

Keratin is a protein naturally found in your lashes. 
The products we use at Lash Lift Queen contains vegan keratin which helps to nourish the lashes and thanks to it’s strengthening properties it also provides longer lasting results than a regular lash lift.
Regular lash lifts do not contain this added ingredient and can mean the results will 'drop' after a few weeks, as opposed to Lash Lift Queen's keratin version where the lashes remain lifted for months until they have completely grown out, without dropping. Our process also includes a lash strengthening & volumising treatment that works to deeply nourish, strengthen, smooth, plump and strengthen your natural lashes and increase overall lash lift longevity. This treatment plumps and nourishes the lashes from within, instantly increasing the volume of each lash by 30%, helping for a longer lasting, more durable result.
Overall you will find that the lashes are more nourished, the lift is more intense and the results last longer than a regular lash lift.
 

Are there different styles of lash lift or do you do the same for each person?


Every single lash lift is uniquely customised to suit your individual style, preference & desired look.
Before we begin the lash lift treatment we inspect your lashes, ask you a series of questions to understand the desired look you would like to achieve and determine which style lift is going to be best suited based on your lash growth cycle and eye shape among other things, to ensure you’re getting the results you want. 
We offer a range of lash lift styles & techniques to suit all lash types, eye shapes & preferences.


How long does the treatment take?

The lash lift treatment takes 60-90 minutes in total.
Just the right amount of time for a little nap, you’ll wake up looking & feeling refreshed!


How long does the lash lift last?

The Lash Lift Queen lift will last you 2-3 months, or until your lashes grow out.The longevity of the lash lift entirely depends on the speed your lashes grow, the majority of our clients get a solid 3 months from each treatment, some times even longer!
The exciting thing about our treatment is that your lift doesn’t weaken or drop over time, as your lashes grow out the lash lift also grow outs with your lashes. 
Our lashes grow in a 2-3 month cycle - that means they’re constantly growing & falling out (like they’re suppose to). If you notice your hair grows quite quickly this generally means you will have faster growing lashes as well

 

Can I wear mascara with a lash lift?


Absolutely - just ensure you avoid applying mascara for the first 24-48hours & don’t use a waterproof mascara!
Waterproof mascara excessively dehydrates the lashes and requires an oil & excessive rubbing to remove - all things you want to avoid when you have a lash lift.
Be sure to use the aftercare serum on your lashes BEFORE applying mascara - the serum acts as a protective barrier between your lashes and the mascara, so that the mascara doesn’t dry your lashes out.


I have short lashes, will a lash lift work for me?

Yes - Short lashes can be lifted and look absolutely incredible!
Our technicians talk you through the entire lash lift process during your initial consultation and will discuss style options to ensure you get the best results for your lash type and preferred style, no matter how long or short your lashes are.


I have fine lashes, will a lash lift work for me?

Yes of course!
Fine lashes require a little extra care when performing the treatment due to their delicate nature.


I have stubborn lashes, will the lash lift work?

Yes absolutely, at Lash Lift Queen we pride ourselves on providing incredible results for all lash types and are very well experienced to lift even the most stubborn lashes!


What is the aftercare for a lash lift?



24 HOURS POST TREATMENT:

  • Be gentle with your lashes & avoid rubbing or touching them.
  • Avoid water, heat & steam - this includes steamy showers, saunas, swimming, solariums, blow drying your hair, spray tanning, working out & facials.
  • Do not apply mascara, oils or other products to your lashes.
  • Avoid sleeping in a position that puts pressure on your lashes.

DAILY MAINTENANCE:

  • Be gentle with your lashes and avoid excessively rubbing them - this includes when removing mascara.
  • To remove mascara we recommend using a face cloth and warm water to loosen & gently remove.
  • Avoid using makeup wipes.
  • Mascara can be used, however the Keratin Aftercare Serum (provided in your aftercare kit) MUST be applied prior to mascara.
  • Avoid waterproof mascara as is extremely dehydrating on your lashes & difficult to remove.
  • Be careful when using false lashes. False lashes may be used when you have a lash lift, but extra care must be taken to ensure the glue is not applied to the lashes as this will negatively affect your results. It can be difficult to wear false lashes so it is best to avoid if possible.
  • Do not use oils or rich facial products on your lashes as it may weaken your lash lift over time.
  • Brush your lashes daily using the lash brushes provided in your Aftercare Kit.
  • Apply Keratin Aftercare Serum daily to maintain optimal results & healthy lashes. The serum hydrates & nourishes your lashes which is the key to beautiful & lasting results, and also promotes thicker, fuller, stronger, longer lashes.
  • If you have any questions we encourage you to contact us - we are always here to help.

At your appointment you will be given an Aftercare Kit to maintain your lash lift results. This includes a detailed Aftercare Guide, Keratin Aftercare Serum and Lash Brushes.

 

Do I need to do anything to maintain the results?



It is essential to use a lash lift specific aftercare serum daily once you've had a lash lift treatment, to maintain optimal results.

Think of a lash lift like a facial; much like maintaining the glow from a facial requires a consistent skincare routine at home, the same principle applies to lash lifts.
Your lashes do require daily topical hydration to look and feel their best. 
Your post-treatment care will heavily influence your long-term results and overall lash lift experience.

Lash Lift Queen stocks lash lift specific aftercare serums that are formulated to deliver lashes the correct nutrients required to penetrate the inner lash and nourish the lashes from the inside out. 

 

Can I use castor oil as an aftercare serum?



Absolutely not! Using nothing on your lashes after a lash lift is going to be better for them than using castor oil! 
Sounds contradicting right!? 

After being chemically treated (aka. after a lash lift - or brow lamination, they involve the same process) castor oil molecules are too large to penetrate the lash shaft (inner lash) effectively. 
Instead of nourishing your lashes from within, the oil sits on the surface of the lash, creating a barrier that prevents essential moisture from entering.
Although castor oil initially feels moisturising, it actually traps moisture out rather than sealing it in.
This false sense of hydration can lead to progressive dehydration, causing your lashes to feel drier, more fragile and negatively impact your lash health. 

To maintain healthy, hydrated lashes and extend the life of your lash lift, it’s crucial to use an aftercare serum designed specifically for chemically treated lashes.
These products contain smaller molecules that can penetrate deeply, delivering moisture and nourishment without compromising the effects of the lift.

By avoiding castor oil and choosing the suitable aftercare formulas, you’ll protect your lash health and enhance the longevity of your lash lift.

 

How often can I get a lash lift?

It is recommended to wait until 90% of your existing lash lift has grown out before booking your next lift. 
This can take between 2-3 months (sometimes longer) depending on the individual and the speed of their lash cycle.
This is to maintain the health & integrity of your lashes and the final results which is Lash Lift Queen's main priority.
If you're unsure whether you're ready for another lash lift, feel free to send a photo of your lashes and we can guide you!


Who isn’t suitable for lash lifts?

If you have recently had eye surgery, an eye infection, trichiomania, unable to keep eyes closed for 1 hour, unable to lay for 1 hour, or have any sensitivities to the products used.
If you have any questions or are unsure if you're able to get the treatment done, don't hesitate to contact us!

 

Can I get a lash lift if I am pregnant?

We are able to perform this service if you are pregnant or breast-feeding, however we recommend consulting you doctor prior to booking in, just to ensure you and your little ones complete safety. 


I’ve had a lash lift done before and it didn’t turn out very good - will my experience with Lash Lift Queen be different?

We have many clients who have experienced disappointing results at other salons, we will address any concerns or questions you have prior to your treatment to work out where your last salon may have gone wrong and how we can guarantee best results this time round.
Generally if you've had a poor lash lift experience it is due to poor lash lift techniques and/or inferior products.
Lash Lift Queen was one of the first specialists in Australia and has over 7 years experience specialising in lash lifts so you are in reliable hands!

 

Can I get a lash lift without a tint?

Absolutely!
The lash tint is complimentary with every treatment and is optional, we are dedicated to providing you with the best experience and take all your preferences on board to ensure this!

 

Does it hurt?

Not at all - and a lash lift never should hurt!
If you've ever had a lash lift that was painful or uncomfortable something was not being done correctly or there is lack of precision by the artist.
Most of our clients actually fall asleep during the treatment, so comfort is absolutely guaranteed here at Lash Lift Queen.
Our process ensures you can fully relax and have zero irritation throughout the treatment.
