What Are Lash Lifts? Everything You Want to Know (But Were Afraid to Ask)

Sick of mascara smudges and daily lash curler drama?

Short, straight lashes can make your eyes look tired no matter how much coffee you’ve had.

Enter the lash lift — the low-maintenance, high-impact treatment that curls, lifts, and opens your eyes for weeks at a time. Here’s everything you need to know before you try. 

What Is a Lash Lift?

A lash lift is essentially a perm for your natural lashes — it lifts and curls them from the base for a brighter, more open-eyed look that lasts for weeks. 

No falsies, no daily curling, just naturally enhanced lashes.

How It Differs from Extensions or Curlers

Unlike lash extensions, which add synthetic lashes, a lift simply enhances your own. It’s also gentler and longer-lasting than lash curlers, which only bend lashes temporarily and can cause breakage.

Who It’s For

Perfect for anyone wanting an effortless, low-maintenance look — especially if your lashes are straight, short, or point downward. A lash lift gives you that wide-awake, “mascara-optional” finish every day.

How Long Does a Lash Lift Last?

A lash lift typically lasts 6 to 8 weeks, depending on your natural lash cycle and how well you care for them. As your lashes naturally shed and regrow, the lifted ones gradually make way for new, untreated lashes.

What Affects Its Longevity

Your results can vary based on:

  • Aftercare: Avoid water, steam, or makeup for the first 24–48 hours.
  • Oils & Products: Oil-based cleansers or mascaras can weaken the lift.
  • Lash Health: Strong, healthy lashes hold shape longer.
  • Growth Cycle: Faster regrowth = shorter lifespan.

If you notice your curl relaxing or lashes growing in unevenly, it’s just your natural cycle — most clients rebook every 6–8 weeks to maintain that perfect lift.
