Treatment Thursday- lash perm

Eyelash perming is exactly as it sounds- a treatment that gives the lashes a semi-permanent curl. It's a fantastic treatment for the summer because it opens the eyes so you don't have to use an eyelash curler, cutting down your morning routine in the heat and if you tint your lashes too you won't need mascara! 

It's a 45 minute treatment that is very relaxing because as a client you get to just lay still with your eyes closed for nearly an hour if you have your lashes tinted too! 

The treatment begins with removing any eye makeup and then a perming rod is adhered to the eyelid and the lashes are curled up onto the rod. The perming rods very in size from small to extra large depending on the length of the clients natural lash. A perming solution is then applied in a thin line along the lashes and cling film with a towel on top is laid over the eyes while the lashes are permed. After the perm solution is removed a neutraliser is applied to help the curl set into the lash- this stage is very important to the outcome of the treatment. Once the neutraliser is removed the perming rod is removed and the lashes have a curl that will last about 3 months. 


It is recommended to have your lashes tinted after a perm to increase the length and appearance of the lashes. Make sure you have a patch test for the perm solution, neutraliser and tint at least 24 hours before having the treatment.
