Before your eyelash extensions or lash lift appointment:
– Arrive with squeaky clean lashes. This means better results and retention. Make sure you don’t put moisturizer, sunscreen, or any other products on your lashes before arrival.
– Do not curl your lashes on the day of your appointment.
– Do not drink caffeinated beverages on the day of your appointment. Some clients’ eyelids flutter and make it difficult for the technician to do a good work.
– Bring your own headphones if you would like to listen to your own music, book, podcast, etc.
YUMI™ Lash Lift & Tint aftercare:
– Keep them dry: As lash lift involves applying specialized solutions to a delicate area, you should make sure to keep your eyelashes dry for at least 48 hours after the procedure. Avoiding moisture will help to ensure that the curl settles in properly. This means avoiding getting your lashes wet in the shower as well!
– No pillow cuddling: Do not let anything touch your eyelashes for at least 48 hours. Avoid anything that could lead to accidental tears or risk your lashes in any way. Moreover, try to sleep on your back for a couple of days to prevent your eyelashes from getting scrunched.
– Using mascara: While there is no need to use mascara after lift lash to look stunning, you might still want to wear mascara to give an added touch to your makeup. If you plan to do so, use only oil-free mascara, and that too, only after 48 hours of the procedure. Just don’t curl your lashes with a lash curler as your lashes have already been curled.
