Eyelashes & Lash Lifts

Before you book…

For your safety, please advise Nataya Beauty of any allergies or relevant medical conditions prior to your appointment. If you are pregnant you are strongly advised to seek guidance from a medical professional before booking a treatment.

You may not be able to receive this treatment if any of the following apply to you:

• Have not completed a patch test at least 48 hours prior to your treatment
• Had a reaction to the patch test
• Taking antibiotics, severe acne or taking a vitamin A medication – e.g. Roaccutane (thins the skin and can cause skin to rip or tear when waxed)
• Hypersensitive skin
• Contagious skin disease – e.g. Ringworm, Active Herpes Simplex (cold sore), Impetigo
• Use of skin peeling or skin thinning preparations
• Use of sunbeds 24 hours prior to waxing or sunburnt skin
• Conjunctivitis, sty’s, blepharitis or viral infections
• Cataracts
• Alopecia
• Glaucoma
• Diebetic Retinopathy
• Trichotillomania
• Psoriasis around the eye

Get ready!

A patch test must be carried out at least 48 hours prior to your appointment. It will only take a few minutes, just call to arrange a convenient time.
It consists of a small dab of each product (5 in total) to the inside of your forearm, covered with a small plaster to prevent them from rubbing off.
Leave on the skin for a few hours, then wash off with water.

Arrive for your Lash Lift appointment without contact lenses, as your eyes will be shut for the duration of the treatment (around 45mins) and this could cause irritation or displacement of the lenses.

Don’t wear eye make-up on the day (especially mascara) and avoid oil-based products or waterproof mascara at least 2 days prior to your treatment. This can obstruct the treatment creams penetrating the lash and can affect lift results. To remove your eye make-up, we recommend the LVL oil-free make-up remover (available in-salon and online).

If you have recently tinted your eyelashes, and Vaseline/petroleum jelly were used, please inform us, as you may have to wait a few days before having your Lash Lift. We want you to get the very best from your treatment.

With our Lash Lifts lasting between 6-8 weeks (dependant on individual lash growth cycles), we think this treatment is excellent value for money. It is a very low maintenance procedure compared to eyelash extensions, and it is non-damaging to natural lashes, providing aftercare is followed.

A little TLC is required over the first 24-48hrs whilst the lift is still settling into place, and we have written a guideline with a few tips to help you maintain and prolong the life of your Lash Lift.

Remember, a lash lift procedure is very similar to a hair perm, and as such the hair must be kept well-nourished and treated delicately to avoid breakage/weakening.

Look after those lashes!

• For the first 24 hours after your Lash Lift, do not use mascara and do not allow water to come in to contact with your lashes. Carefully wash around your eyes and avoid hot water. Try not to sleep on your face as this can crush the lashes whilst they are setting over the first day
• For 48 hours after your Lash Lift, avoid hot water, steam or sweat (eg. Saunas, facial steamers, excessive work-outs, swimming, very hot steamy showers). Look out for opening a hot oven door too, as hot steam can come rushing out
• Use a lash nourishing serum/conditioner daily (we sell these or can advise you of products)
• Always brush lashes upwards regularly to help maintain lift and shape, especially after sleeping, cleansing the face and applying moisturisers or cosmetics
• Be gentle, don’t scrub your eyes when washing your face
• Do not use eyelash curlers, as lashes will be delicate after treatment, and could cause breakage
• If wearing mascara, use water-based mascara, not a waterproof one
• Use any oil-free make-up remover if mascara is worn, we recommend the LVL oil-free make-up remover (available in-salon and online)
