We cover the most common what’s, how’s, and why’s clients ask about this treatment to help you confidently address your clients’ concerns and FAQs about lash laminations. Jot down these points and review them with your clients so they have all the information they need before booking their appointment.

What Is Lash Lamination?

Lash lamination, or lash lifting, is a semi-permanent beauty treatment that enhances and curls natural eyelashes. It involves using a chemical solution to lift, shape and set the lashes into a desired curl pattern. The process is like perming hair but for eyelashes.

Is Lash Lamination Safe?

Yes! A trained and experienced professional can perform lash lamination safely. That said, as with any beauty treatment, lash lamination does carry some risks. Some potential risks include allergic reactions to the lamination solution, irritation or burning sensation in the eyes, and over-processing of the lashes. A reputable and experienced technician minimizes these risks by using high-quality products and following proper application techniques.

Can I Get Lash Lamination if I Have Sensitive Eyes or Wear Contact Lenses?

Lash lamination is safe for clients with sensitive eyes or those who wear contact lenses. However, they should inform their technician beforehand so they can take extra precautions, such as using a gentle lamination solution and avoiding getting any product in the eyes. The technician should also instruct the client to remove their contacts before the treatment to prevent any solution from getting stuck behind the lenses, which can lead to eye irritation, infection, or damage.

How Does Lash Lamination Differ From Other Lash Treatments?

People often compare lash lamination to other popular lash treatments, such as lash extensions and lash tints. While all three treatments aim to enhance the appearance of lashes, they’re very different in their process and results!

• Lash extensions involve attaching individual synthetic or mink lashes onto natural lashes for a fuller and longer look. They require maintenance every few weeks as the extensions shed along with the natural lash cycle.
• Lash tints use semi-permanent dye to darken the natural eyelashes. Tints last for about four to six weeks before needing a touch-up.
• Lash laminations use chemicals to shape and curl natural lashes without adding any extra weight or length. The effects last for about six to eight weeks, depending on an individual’s lash growth cycle.

How Long Does the Lash Lamination Process Take?

Clients want to know how long they’ll be sitting in the chair. Generally, the lash lamination process takes about 45 minutes to an hour. It may take longer for clients with thicker or denser lashes. Be sure to inform your clients about the approximate time so they can plan accordingly.

What Should I Do Before My Lash Lamination Appointment?

Clients must do a bit of prep work before their appointment. They should arrive at their appointment with clean and makeup-free lashes.

What Does the Process Involve?

Lash lamination is a multi-step process that usually involves the following steps:

1. The technician will thoroughly cleanse the lashes and eye area to remove any makeup, oil, or dirt.
2. Next, they protect the lower lashes with a protective pad or tape to prevent them from sticking to the upper lashes during the treatment.
3. Then, they apply the first solution, a lifting lotion, to soften and lift the natural lashes from their base.
4. After removing Solution 1, the technician will apply a neutralizing lotion to set the lashes’ lifted shape.
5. The technician can apply a semi-permanent lash tint to darken the lashes for a more dramatic look if desired.
6. Finally, the technician will apply a moisturizing serum to nourish and hydrate the lashes.

How Should I Take Care of My Laminated Lashes?

Clients should follow these care instructions to prolong the effects of lash lamination:

• Clients should avoid getting their lashes near heat and steam for at least 24 hours after the treatment, as the water may cause the solution to break down and affect the results.
• Oil-based makeup removers and skincare products can weaken the lamination solution, so clients should use oil-free products on their lashes.
• Clients should avoid rubbing or pulling on their lashes, as doing so can cause them to lose their curl and possibly damage natural lashes.

Can I Wear Mascara After Lash Lamination?

Yes, however, technicians should recommend that their clients avoid using mascara for the first 24 hours after the treatment (except for Elleebana Elleevate Mascara). After 24 hours, clients can use a water-based mascara and remove it gently with an oil-free makeup remover. Elleebana’s Elleevate Mascara is a mascara made specifically for laminated lashes and is safe to use immediately after the treatment.

How Often Should I Get Lash Lamination?

The effects of lash lamination usually last for six to eight weeks, depending on the individual’s lash growth, shedding, and daily care routine. Clients can schedule their next appointment when they start to notice a difference in the curl of their lashes or when they feel like they need a touch-up.
