Ditch the Mascara: What is an LVL Lash Perm and How is It Done?
Dreaming of longer, fuller, and beautifully curled lashes without the hassle of extensions or the daily struggle with mascara? If so, you’ve likely heard the buzz around LVL lash perming. This treatment is a game-changer for anyone who wants to enhance their natural beauty with minimal effort.
At Audaisyus Beauty & Salon in Gravesend, we’re experts at providing stunning, long-lasting lash lifts. But what exactly is an LVL lash perm, and what can you expect when you come in for your appointment? Let’s break down the process step-by-step.
What Exactly is an LVL Lash Perm?
LVL stands for Lift, Volume, and Lengthen. It’s a professional treatment designed to enhance your natural eyelashes. LVL uses a unique perming solution to straighten and lift your lashes from the root, creating a wide-eyed, youthful look. Unlike traditional lash perms that simply curl the lashes, LVL focuses on lifting them upward, which makes them appear longer and more voluminous.
The treatment concludes with a tint, which darkens your lashes and adds further definition, making it look as though you’ve just applied a coat of mascara but the results last for weeks!
The LVL Lash Perm Process: A Step-by-Step Guide
The LVL lash perm is a relaxing and comfortable procedure that typically takes around 60 to 90 minutes. Here’s a look at what happens during your session at our salon:
Step 1: The Consultation
Your appointment will begin with a brief consultation. Your lash technician will discuss your desired outcome, assess the health of your natural lashes, and determine the perfect rod size to use. The rod size controls the amount of lift and curl, ensuring the final look is customized to your eye shape and lash length.
Step 2: Lash Preparation
To ensure the best results, your lashes will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or residue. A protective pad will be placed on your lower lid to secure your lower lashes and protect your skin.
Step 3: The “Lifting” Phase
Your technician will carefully place a silicone shield onto your eyelid, just above the lash line. Your upper lashes are then brushed upward onto the shield, isolating each lash with a specialized adhesive. A lifting lotion is applied, breaking down the bonds in your lashes to reset their shape.
Step 4: The “Volumizing” Phase
After the lifting lotion is removed, a volumizing lotion is applied. This solution rebuilds the bonds in your lashes, locking in the new, lifted shape. This step is crucial for ensuring the lift holds and provides that long-lasting result.
Step 5: The “Lengthening” Tint
Once the lashes are perfectly lifted, a custom-mixed tint is applied. This darkens your lashes from root to tip, giving them a thicker, more defined appearance. The tint is especially effective on those fine, light-coloured lashes that mascara often misses, making your eyes pop.
Step 6: The Final Touches
The last solutions are removed, and a hydrating lotion or oil is applied to nourish and strengthen your lashes. You’ll then get to see your beautiful, new lashes and no mascara needed!
Aftercare & Results
The results of your LVL lash perm will typically last for 6 to 8 weeks, gradually fading as your natural lashes shed and new ones grow in. For the first 24-48 hours, it’s important to keep your lashes dry and avoid any steam, rubbing, or oil-based products. After that, you can enjoy your stunning, low-maintenance lashes without a second thought.
