Article: There are few risks to having an eyelash lift. That said, if you have sensitive skin or eczema, you may want to try a different treatment, as the solution applied to your eyelashes may cause irritation. Furthermore, eyelash lifts may not be as effective on people with shorter lashes. You may want to consider having an eyelash lift if: You have straight lashes and want them curled. Eyelash perms or curlers have not worked for you in the past. You have hooded or mature eyes. You don't want to reapply mascara every day. Lash lifts are very similar in technique. A serum or proprietary mixture will be applied to each individual lash before the lashes are curled. That said, there are a few different treatments on the market. Some of the more popular treatments include: Keratin Lash Lift: A five-step method that involves the application of special pigment, keratin, and enzymes to the eyelashes. They cost around $150, and they can take up to two hours to apply. Dreamlash: This method claims to use a gentler formula and more flexible curling rods. If you are concerned about reacting badly to the chemical serum, you may want to look into this. Length-Volume Lift (LVL) Enhance: A serum is applied to the root of the lashes to curl them, and the lashes are tinted to give an effect similar to mascara. This treatment, which is currently only available in the UK, costs around 50. As a relatively new treatment, you may find it difficult to find places that offer eyelash lifts. You can try searching on the internet for salons in your area that offer the treatment. You can also look at beauty treatment centers that specialize in eye and brow treatments. Ask if the technician performing the treatment has received training in eyelash lifts from a program such as Sugarlash Pro, Nouveau Lashes, Dreamlash, or YUMILashes. Read online reviews before you choose a salon to make sure that it is reputable, clean, and safe. Yelp, Google Reviews, Facebook, and Foursquare can help you find reviews. Some salons may offer eyelash perms instead of lifts. Eyelash perms apply similar solutions to your eyelashes, but they use a different type of curler. Perms offer a more dramatic curl while lifts tend to look more natural. Once you have chosen your salon, call to make your appointment. You may want to put the appointment in your phone calendar or schedule to remind you when it is. Eyelash lifts can take between 45 minutes and two hours. You may want to plan to be free for slightly longer than two hours just in case. If you are worried that you will have a bad reaction, you should ask ahead of time if you can patch test the formulas. If the salons do not offer you a sample, you may not want to go through with the procedure.
