BROWS AND LASHES IN BEREA
BROW LAMINATION + TINT
What is Brow Lamination?
Brow lamination is a treatment that breaks down the hair bonds to straighten, lift, and set the brow hairs to look more full and defined. Brow hairs will not hold 100% in place but will be more moldable. Combined with a tint, brows will look full and defined for weeks!
A brow tint and light tweezing is included in this treatment. Because of the chemical process, the brows will be a little lighter and a warmer tone, which is why we include a tint. We all have lighter hairs in our brows that when darkened, will give a more full brow. Color can be customized to your preference. Because of the chemical process on the skin, we don't believe it to be safe for the skin to sugar the brows immediately after treatment. We recommend using our Elleplex Serum every evening on your brows (after 24 hours) and booking a Brow Shaping (sugaring hair removal) 1-2 weeks before your Brow Lamination appointment. We recommend booking a Brow Lamination Maintenance appointment 3-4 weeks after your Lamination. This includes a brow tint to maintain color, a deep conditioning treatment and Brow Shaping (sugaring hair removal).
All post care will be emailed after booking, and brows can not get wet for a minimum of 24 hours. Make sure to plan accordingly when booking your appointment. *Results will vary and are based on hair type, density, and other factors.
LASH LIFT + TINT
What is a Lash Lift?
Enhance your natural lashes with a lash lift! This treatment is customized to your lashes to lift and separate them at the base, giving your natural lashes a boost that lasts 6-8 weeks. We recommend using our Elleplex Serum every evening after treatment (after 24 hours) and booking a Lash Lift Maintenance appointment 3-4 weeks after your lash lift. This includes a lash tint and conditioning treatment.
Before treatment
Please come in without eye makeup. If you wear contacts, they will need to be removed for the treatment.
Does a lash lift hurt?
No, the procedure is totally painless. Your eyes will be closed for the entire treatment and although it may feel a little strange being unable to open your eyes for this time, it offers you a chance to relax during the treatment.
Is it safe?
Yes. The procedure is performed with the utmost care and precise technique. The product never touches the skin during the process. Lashes are lifted on our specially shaped lifting silicone pads before products are applied. Because the solution is only applied to the base of the lashes a reaction is incredibly rare. Redness around the eye may occur due to the product removal process (wiping the eyes with cotton rounds) but should disappear within a few minutes after the procedure. If you are concerned you may have a reaction you can ask for a patch test prior to making an appointment.
Will it damage my lashes?
No. Our lash lift artists are certified and skilled to maintain the integrity of the lashes and we use the highest quality lash lifting products available only to professionals. Without a certification or a practitioner that uses improper technique yes we have seen photos and heard stories of lash lifts that have damaged lashes.
How long does the process take?
A lash lift takes approximately 45 minutes.
How long does the lift last?
A Lash Lift can last 6-8 weeks but can vary from person to person. There is no need for any maintenance appointments in between but you will need to have the process repeated every 8 weeks to lift the new hair growth. There are some situations that may cause the lift to drop/weaken prematurely such as swimming, use of harsh products or heat. If you find that your lift does not last the full 2 months, you can repeat the treatment after a minimum of 7-8 weeks of having the initial treatment, but not before.
Can I wear makeup after my appointment?
Yes but it is best that you leave your lashes untouched for at least 24 hours after your treatment. You may find that there is no need for mascara, but if you wish to make your lashes even fuller, a non-waterproof mascara is advised as the removal of waterproof mascaras can be harsh on the lashes and weaken the lift.
