Lash Treatments: Lifts vs. Extensions


An eyebrow waxing may be part of your regular self-care routine. It’s important to get or maintain that beautiful arch just the way you love it and know it’s always symmetrical. Having your eyebrows waxed helps you save time in the morning as you get ready for the day; there’s less need for plucking and brushing. If you have your eyebrows tinted, there’s even less need for makeup. 

 

An investment in eyebrow shaping can help save time, while always making sure your look is on point. Why not invest in a lash treatment that can do the same?

 

What Is a Lash Lift?

Do you ever get tired of reaching for the lash curler? Or perhaps you skip it completely, because of the hassle or because you aren’t comfortable using one. A lash lift offers the same look you get from a lash curler, but it’s semi-permanent. Most lash lifts last between 6 and 8 weeks, but they can last longer if well cared-for. The long-lasting curl is created much the same way as the curls of a perm. Chemicals and a specific process are used to carefully create a dramatic curl. This may be the way to go if lash extensions feel like a bit too much, or you’d rather accentuate your natural lashes. 

 

Benefits of a lash lift:

  • No need for special care to maintain the curled shape
  • Visibly thicker, fuller, and longer lashes that are all your own
  • Much faster morning routine with fewer steps
  • Freedom to skip the mascara when you don’t feel like applying or wearing it
  • Great for those who have teary eyes due to allergies, when mascara isn’t an option

 

What Are Lash Extensions?

Lash extensions aren’t like the “falsies” you purchase at the store and apply for a specific occasion or event. Extensions can only be applied by an experienced technician, who will apply each synthetic or mink lash onto your existing eyelashes. While this process takes a bit more time than applying a strip of lashes with a temporary adhesive, there are many benefits to professional lash extensions that make them a popular lash treatment choice.

 

Benefits of lash extensions:

  • Add volume, lift, and length
  • Longer lasting, with no need for mascara
  • Feel naturally lightweight, much like your own lashes
  • No damage to your lashes
  • Fall out on their own as your lashes grow – no need for removal

 

Which Lash Treatment Is Best for You?

With so many differences between lash lifts and lash extensions, it’s important to speak with a professional aesthetician about both options. Not only can they tell you more about each option, they can offer an informed, educated recommendation of the option best suited to you.
