LASH LIFT PREP + AFTERCARE
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
To help your appointment run smoothly and allow us to dedicate your full scheduled time to your service, please keep the following in mind:
• Complete your waiver before arriving. The waiver is required for your first appointment only. Returning clients do not need to complete it again unless requested.
• Please arrive with a completely clean eye area—free of mascara, eye makeup, concealer, oils, creams, lash serum, and other products.
Coming directly from work or another commitment? No worries! Lash wash is available in the bathroom. Please arrive a few minutes early so you have enough time to cleanse your lashes before your scheduled appointment begins. Arriving prepared allows us to begin on time and dedicate your full appointment to the lash lift.
• Please do not curl your lashes on the day of your appointment.
• Please use the bathroom before we begin. Lash lifts involve carefully timed processing steps, and your eyes will need to remain closed throughout the service. If you need a bathroom break, we may need to stop the processing step and safely remove the products first, which can interrupt the service and affect our timing. Your comfort and safety always come first, so please let us know if you need anything.
Thank you for arriving prepared—we can’t wait to see you!
AFTERCARE
QUICK CARE: Keep lashes dry for 24 hours • Avoid heat and steam for 24 hours • Gently brush lashes upward as needed • Apply Elleeplex daily
RIGHT AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT:
• Check your lash direction throughout the first day. Make sure your lashes are not bent, twisted, or pushed out of place. If needed, gently brush them upward with a clean spoolie.
• Water will not chemically undo your lash lift. However, please keep your lashes dry for the first 24 hours to follow the recommended aftercare guidelines and help maintain their direction.
• You can still wash your face the evening of your appointment! Use cool or lukewarm water and gently cleanse around your eyes, avoiding direct water exposure to your lashes, excessive soap, rubbing, or strong water pressure.
• If your lashes accidentally get wet, don’t panic! Gently pat them dry without rubbing, brush them upward with a clean spoolie if needed, and allow them to air-dry in place.
• Skip regular mascara, eye makeup, rich eye creams, face oils, and makeup removers around your lashes for the first 24 hours. Elleeplex Advanced Aftercare Formula is specifically designed for post-service conditioning and may be applied immediately.
• Avoid excessive touching and try not to sleep directly on your lashes, especially during the first 24–48 hours.
FOR THE FIRST 24 HOURS:
• Avoid heat and steam. Please avoid hot or steamy showers, saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, hot yoga, steamy facials, and prolonged cooking steam.
• If you need to shower, keep the water lukewarm, limit steam, and avoid directing the shower spray onto your lashes.
• After 24 hours, normal water exposure is fine. Gently cleanse your lashes with cool or lukewarm water, brush them upward as needed, and allow them to air-dry.
• Apply Elleeplex Advanced Aftercare Formula daily to help nourish, hydrate, and condition your natural lashes.
MAINTAIN YOUR RESULTS:
• Cleanse gently. Keep your lashes clean and free from makeup and product buildup. When cleansing or removing makeup, use gentle motions and avoid rubbing from side to side, tugging, or pulling on your lashes.
• Brush your lashes daily. Use a clean spoolie to keep them separated and directed upward. Consider keeping one in your purse, gym bag, beach bag, or bathroom so you can quickly redirect your lashes after swimming, showering, sleeping, or exercising.
• Avoid waterproof mascara whenever possible. It can be difficult to remove and may require extra rubbing or pulling. If you wear mascara, choose a regular, easy-to-remove formula.
• Avoid sleeping directly on your lashes whenever possible. Pressure and friction may cause them to sit in a different direction, particularly as your lift grows out.
WHY DAILY CONDITIONING MATTERS:
Your natural lashes are made primarily of keratin, just like your hair. Because a lash lift involves softening and reshaping the lashes, they benefit from additional conditioning following the service.
Dry lashes may feel brittle and can be more susceptible to breakage from friction, rubbing, or aggressive brushing. Consistent conditioning helps keep them soft, flexible, manageable, and healthy-looking between appointments.
Think of lash conditioner like conditioner for your hair or cuticle oil after a manicure—it helps maintain softness and moisture following a chemical service and gives your lashes the daily care they need.
RECOMMENDED HOME CARE:
Apply Elleeplex Advanced Aftercare Formula daily to clean lashes. This lightweight, clear conditioning gel is designed for lashes and brows and may be applied immediately after your service.
Formulated with keratin, biotin, amino acids, panthenol, and other conditioning ingredients, Elleeplex helps:
• Maintain moisture and softness
• Support flexible, healthy-looking lashes
• Minimize dryness and brittleness
• Keep lifted lashes conditioned and manageable
• Help maintain the appearance of your lash tint
Apply it as you would a clear mascara. Wear it alone for a soft, glossy finish or underneath your regular mascara once your initial aftercare period has passed.
Elleeplex Advanced Aftercare Formula is available at SG Beauty for $30. I recommend incorporating it into your daily routine to help keep your lashes soft, conditioned, and healthy-looking between appointments.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING GROWOUT:
Your lash lift will gradually grow out as your natural lashes complete their growth cycle. Results typically last around 8 weeks, although longevity varies from person to person depending on natural lash growth and home care.
As your natural lashes grow and shed, new, unlifted lashes will begin appearing alongside your lifted lashes. Toward the end of the growout period, your lashes may look less uniform or sit in slightly different directions. This is a completely normal part of your natural lash growth cycle.
Consistent conditioning, gentle cleansing, daily brushing, and avoiding unnecessary friction will help keep your lashes soft, flexible, and manageable throughout the growout process.
