A Lash Lift is a simple process to learn, but to perform it perfectly, you must have a strong knowledge base and excellent detailed execution. The results are expressive and can last five to seven weeks, depending on how quickly your client’s eyelashes grow and how well they have been taken care of.
You can consider providing an additional service – Lash Tint – that helps darken the lashes, creating a more obvious mascara-like effect for your client. A lash tint is usually included in the Lash Lift workshop. You can create a better profit margin by including this service as part of the Lash Lift procedure.
Minimal aftercare for your clients
Have we mentioned there is minimal aftercare to this treatment? After the Lash Lift treatment, you should advise your clients to avoid applying mascara and eye curler for the next 1-2 days and keep them as clean as possible. You can recommend your clients purchase Lash Lift Nourishing Serum and apply it daily to keep their natural lashes strong and healthy. If your clients wish to maintain the lift, they can get a new Lash Lift treatment after 6-7 weeks.
It can be a good substitute for naturally-looking lashes lovers without eyelash extensions.
If you are a lash artist, you might know that some customers may reject eyelash extensions. The reasons are varied. They might find it expensive, or they’re just not keen to add the extra care required with the extensions. A Lash Lift service is the best alternative to capture this group demographic. To understand the benefits of Lash Lifts, you should learn the difference between Lash Lifts and Eyelash Extension.
The most distinctive difference between Lash Lift and Lash Extensions is that Lash Lifts enhance the curl of the natural lashes, giving them a visible curl and creating an eye-opening effect. While eyelash extensions lengthen the natural lashes using lash fibers which makes the lashes appear longer and fuller.
Lash Lift can only lift the natural lashes without adding volume or length. Thus, the result depends greatly on the length and fullness of the client’s natural lashes. On the other hand, Lash Extensions are customizable. They can be used with different synthetic lash lengths, curls, and thicknesses to achieve the desired look suitable to natural eye shape.
Lash lifts can be done in a shorter time than eyelash extensions. Within 45-60 mins, you can complete a lash lift service for your client, while eyelash extensions require at least 90 mins.
It is a low-maintenance and more affordable treatment as compared to eyelash extensions.
Prices for a Lash Lift service range from $80 – $100, while Eyelash Extensions can be from $100 – $250 for a full set.
Lash Lift is a low-maintenance treatment, whereas Eyelash Extensions often require some care to maintain the effect. The retention of the extensions depends on the individual lifestyle and proper eyelash aftercare.
In conclusion, understanding the differences can help you determine your customers’ expectations to provide the most convenient service to your customers based on their preferences. For example, a Lash Lift is a right treatment if your customer prefers natural-looking lashes with minimal maintenance. If your customer wants longer and fuller-looking lashes, plus don’t mind putting more effort into taking care of the lashes, recommend them to try Eyelash Extensions. You can expand the service variety that could improve your business value by doing so.
Lash Lifts are safe and suitable for almost all clients’ lashes, even men!
The best thing about a Lash Lift is it is suitable for most eyelashes, such as short lashes, straight lashes or droopy lashes. Lash Lifts are also suitable for men. However, for people with severe skin irritation or very sensitive eyes, it is advised to avoid doing Lash Lift as the chemical may cause eye irritation.
Generally, Lash Lift is a safe service, as it maintains the health of the natural lashes by using plant-based proteins and keratin-based Lash Lift lotion that is completely safe for the eyelashes. In short, Lash Lifts will not damage your client’s natural lash. However, do take note of a few reasons why some customers experienced negative results:
- They have not done thorough research on the lash salon they chose to do their Lash Lift.
- They visited salons that used low-quality Lash Lift products that might contain a high percentage of chemicals that over-process the lashes, causing lash breakage.
- The lash artists performing the procedure are not certified, not well-trained, and have bad experiences.
- Purchased online D-I-Y Lash Lift kits and performed Lash Lift at home without understanding the risks of doing so.
Attractive return-on-investment margin
The perks of having Lash Lift service on your menu is you can potentially achieve a significant ROI for your business. For starters, you can purchase a full Lash Lift kit online. However, be aware of many unknown brands in the mass market; you wouldn’t want to use products from dubious sources and perform Lash Lifts without training. Therefore, it is recommended to research and choose a reputable supplier for your lash lift products.
The Lash Lift kit should include everything you need to perform a lash lift service. Here is the catch, with most lash lift kits, you can perform for up to about 20 clients. A premium lash lift kit can cost between $150-$250 and above, and you can charge each client anywhere between $60 – $90 per treatment. You can earn an average of $600 – $900 for every 10 customers. That is almost 80% of the total profit for just one Lash Lift Kit.
