Beautiful, well-groomed lashes can be the key to changing a face's expression and reflecting great beauty, but which treatment should you choose to achieve them? One of the big questions clients have when they decide to stop using an eyelash curler and mascara is the difference between a lash lift and an eyelash perm and which of the two treatments suits them best. The first thing to keep in mind is that these are two treatments designed to enhance the eyes. Depending on the length and result desired, we'll use one technique or the other. Below, we'll explain what each technique involves:
What is an eyelash perm?
An eyelash perm basically curls the natural lash. The curl's curvature will depend on the length of the lash and the effect we want to achieve. The treatment begins by removing eye makeup and applying a perming liquid and a small roller to the lash, which are left to act for the necessary time. For the curl to last longer, it's advisable to repeat the treatment approximately every 45 days. It's a quick, simple treatment that takes about 1 hour and the effect is immediate.What is a lash lift?
The lash lift treatment also begins by removing eye makeup and applying Primer to dehydrate the lash. Next, a silicone shield with an adhesive is placed on the upper eyelid, and the first product is applied to the lashes, which opens the hair's pore, setting it into the shape of the shield. After leaving it to act for the necessary exposure time, we remove it and apply the second product in the same way, again waiting the same exposure time. It's very important to respect these times to achieve the desired effect. After applying the tint, which we'll discuss next, the lashes are released from the shield and the shield from the eyelid, and a hydrating serum is applied, giving the lashes elasticity and shine.The perfect complement: lash tinting.
The ideal complement to both services is lash tinting. This is a special service to dye the lash hair, performed after the lift or perm, adding color and brightness to the eye and increasing the intensity of the gaze. It's the perfect solution for people with light-colored or sparse lashes, or simply for those looking to skip mascara for a while. Besides adding color to the lash, it's rich in properties that care for and treat the hair.Which treatment to choose?
Unlike the eyelash perm, which is a more traditional treatment that only curls the lashes, the lift is a more innovative treatment that offers interesting benefits, as shown below, which is why it's replacing the eyelash perm in most beauty salons:- The lashes will have a natural look, since the lift lifts them from the root, making them appear longer and increasing their length.
- The products used for the lift don't damage the natural lash.
- They accentuate the shape of the lashes for a more sophisticated look without needing mascara.
- Greater fullness is achieved, since this technique reaches even the shortest lashes, giving us seemingly endless lashes.
- It lasts between 5 and 8 weeks maximum, making it a long-lasting treatment that lets us dazzle with our lashes during that time without needing touch-ups.
- It rejuvenates and defines the eyes.
- It's a treatment that takes 45 minutes, making it very profitable and leaving your clients wanting more.
