What Is A Lash Lift & Tint?
A Lash Lift and Tint is a semi-permanent chemical process treatment that lifts, curls, and darkens your natural lashes. Unlike lash extensions, this type of lash enhancement only works with your natural lash length. It is designed to give you beautiful, voluminous and long-lasting lashes that will make your eyes pop!
Lash tints are a great idea for people who were born with naturally light lashes, making them black, thicker and fuller. Lash tints create a natural sense of depth, to your lash line. Lash tints effortlessly help you achieve the no-makeup makeup look. You can speak with your lash artist about the variety of lash tint shades she offers. This cosmetic treatment uses only your natural lashes once again. If you already have naturally dark lashes, your lash artist may advise you to select a tint that helps brighten your eyes or thicken your lash line. Lash tints are a great idea for anyone who wants to skip eye makeup altogether. With a lash tint, you can wake up with a well-defined lash line, naturally!

- Remove all eye makeup, creams / lotions, contact lenses, and false eyelashes. You need to have squeaky clean lashes!
- Avoid curling your natural lashes for at least 24 hours prior to treatment.
- Avoid Spray tanning 24 hours before appointment.
- Stop using waterproof mascara 48 hours before your procedure since it leaves behind unwanted residue.
- Please minimize your intake of caffeine before your lash appointment. The jittery-ness causes your eyelids to flutter, making it difficult to perform lash lift.
- Please wear comfortable clothing since you will be laying down for about 1 hour for the treatment.
- Please be ready to silence your phone since you will not be able to open your eyes during the treatment and should be relaxed for better results.

Risks & Side Effects
- Skin irritation is perhaps the greatest risk of the procedure. While protective pads are placed along your lash line to prevent the keratin glue from getting on your skin, this method isn’t completely foolproof.
- You might also be more prone to irritation due to the chemicals contained in the solution if you have a history of dry eye, allergies, and eye or skin sensitivities. Side effects from the solution include: blisters, rash, redness, dry eye, watery eyes, inflammation, more brittle lash hair
