A lash lift gives a visible curl and a darker lash line from your own lashes, and it is worth it if you want that look without mascara or a curler each day. At kruLA the keratin lash lift is $110 for 1 h, custom tint included.
kruLA does keratin lash lift in Century City for $110: call (949) 883-8301.
What do lash lift before and after photos show?
Good photos show the same eyes from the same angle and light: lashes curled up and away from the lid, with the tint making them look thicker.
Photos are the best guide to a specialist's own work, and your result depends on your lashes. Ask to see work on lashes like yours, including short ones.
Do lash lifts look more natural than extensions?
Yes, because a lift works with your own lashes and adds no length or weight, so the result reads as your lashes at their best.
Extensions add length and density, and the look is more dramatic. See lash lift vs lash extensions for the two side by side.
Is a lash lift worth it?
It is worth it if you want curled, defined lashes with little daily effort, and less so if you want much more length or density than you have.
The benefits are an open-eyed look, no mascara and no curler. At kruLA it is $110 with a custom tint. Real opinions vary, so judge it by whether you like the natural curl.
How do I choose a lift by eye shape and natural lash density?
The specialist chooses the shield size from your lash length and eye shape, and density decides how full the result looks.
Tiers are an extensions idea, and a lift follows your own lashes. Tell the specialist whether you want a soft lift or a strong curl.
How do I fix an over-curled lash lift?
Wait a few days: a lift relaxes as it settles, and brushing the lashes gently with a clean spoolie helps it along.
Do not use heat, a curler or home chemicals. If it is still too curled after it has settled, tell your specialist, who can adjust the next lift to a larger shield.
What if my bottom lashes get caught in the lift?
A careful specialist keeps the lower lashes out of the way, and if some got caught they can point in odd directions until they shed or settle.
Do not pull at them. Tell the salon, and they will advise.
How do I tell if my natural lashes are damaged?
Damaged lashes look dry, brittle, frizzy or broken partway along, with bare patches or sore, red lids.
This is not a medical diagnosis. If your lids are painful, swollen or red, see a doctor. If lashes are brittle after a lift, leave a gap before the next one and use a light conditioning serum.
How many lashes do you shed per day?
It is normal to shed a few lashes every day, because each lash has its own cycle and is replaced by a new one.
Shedding is why a lift fades gradually and why a lash that falls out takes its curl with it. Losing many at once, or bald patches, is worth a doctor's visit.
Can I do a lash lift at home?
Home kits exist, and the lift sits close to the eye, with timing that decides whether the lashes set well or turn brittle.
A salon checks your eyes first and times each step. At kruLA the session is 1 h.
How do I find the right lash lift practitioner?
Choose a provider who shows a license, keeps a clean station, asks about your eyes first and can show their own work on lashes like yours.
Ask what product is used, how long each step takes and what aftercare you will get. A good specialist answers without hurrying you.
