Frequently Asked Questions
A lash lift is a treatment that lifts and curls your natural lashes to make them look longer and more defined, whereas lash extensions involve adding false lashes to your lash line. With a lash lift, we apply a gentle lifting solution (almost like a perm for your lashes) to curl your natural lashes upward. This gives a beautiful, eye-opening effect that lasts about 6–8 weeks . There are no extensions added – it’s all your own lashes, just enhanced! In contrast, with extensions we are actually attaching synthetic lashes to your lashes for added length and volume, which requires maintenance fills every few weeks. Lash lifts are great if you prefer a low-maintenance routine, since you don’t need fills and you can use mascara freely after 24 hours. They give a very natural “I woke up like this” look – perfect for someone who wants a subtle enhancement or whose lashes are straight or downward growing. Extensions, on the other hand, are ideal if you want a more dramatic or customizable look (length, thickness, style) or if your natural lashes are very sparse. Some of our Markham clients even get both treatments (a lift on the bottom lashes and extensions on top) for a doll-like effect. Our Lash Lift service page has examples of lifted lashes and more info on this technique. Whether you choose a lift or extensions, you’ll end up with gorgeous, eye-framing lashes – it just depends on the level of drama and upkeep you’re looking for.
