LASH LIFT

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A lash lift is a wonderful alternative to lash extensions! Create volume and enhance your natural lashes with this semi-permanent treatment. This provides perfectly curled lashes with added definition, making them appear more pronounced. It is particularly recommended for clients who are satisfied with the length of their natural lashes but desire a more defined look. The treatment includes the use of keratin, a conditioner that promotes healthy eyelashes and helps prolong the lift effect.

Here are some frequently asked questions to help you prepare for your appointment and maximize the benefits of your lash lift. If you have any contraindications or additional inquiries, please contact Ritual Skincare before booking your appointment.

  • Before arriving for your appointment:

    • Please arrive to your appointment with a freshly cleansed face. It is recommended to wash your face prior to the appointment since you will have to avoid getting your lashes wet for 24 hours after the treatment. 

    • It is recommended to wash your hair prior to your appointment since you will have to avoid getting your lashes wet for at least 24 hours after the treatment.

    • Contact Lenses must be removed prior to appointment. Please wear glasses to your appointment.

    • Do not use waterproof mascara 2-5 days prior to your appointment.

    • The lash lift treatment takes one hour and is completely safe and non-intrusive.

    • It is a multi-step process. A rod is applied followed by two solutions to the natural lashes to treat and shape them - each step is applied and takes between 10 and 15 minutes to work its magic.

    • Simply lay down and relax – listen to music, have great conversation, or just nap (most popular!).

    • If cared for properly, a lash lift can last up to 6 to 8 weeks depending on your natural lash cycle. Check out the post-care instructions below.

  • If cared for properly, a lash lift can last up to 6 to 8 weeks depending on your natural lash cycle. Check out the post-care instructions below.

  • For the best results, we recommend booking two services before your event to see how your lashes respond and to perfect your look, including one appointment during the week of your event. Check out the post-care instructions below.

  • Please avoid scheduling a lash lift if you have dry eyes, Sjogren's Syndrome, watery eyes, or a history of recurrent eye or tear duct infections, as these conditions are contraindications. Additionally, to ensure safety, obtain medical clearance if you've used prescription eye drops within the past month, as some medications may be a contraindication for the lash lift.

  • Unfortunately, it's a contraindication to receive a lash lift during pregnancy or while breast feeding.

  • No, children are not allowed in the studio or unattended on the premises. There are implements and products that could be harmful to a child. Thank you for your understanding.

  • Follow these tips to ensure your lash lift maintains its quality as long as possible:

    • Do not wet your lashes or use mascara for at least 24 hours after the treatment.

    • No steam, exercising that would result in heavy sweating, or hair washing for 24 hours after the treatment.

    • Avoid contacts, eye makeup remover, lash serums and eye creams for 24 hours after the treatment.

    • No eyelash extensions for 24 hours after the treatment.

    • Avoid sleeping on your new lash lift for 24 hours until it sets (sleep on your back if possible).

  • In order to respect the time of clients and esthetician, you’re asked to arrive on time for your appointment. Please be mindful that if you arrive late for your appointment, your service(s) may be modified and will end at the originally scheduled time to accommodate the following client.

If you are more than 5 minutes late you may have to forfeit your appointment which will be considered a no-show, or you will be charged 50% if you reschedule. Your understanding in this matter is much appreciated!

  • Your appointment time is reserved exclusively for you, so please understand that “no-shows” and late cancellations are an inconvenience to both esthetician and turned-away clients.

  • “Stephanie owner of Ritual Skin Care is an excellent boutique spa! The space is always spotless and Stephanie is very diligent when it comes to extra cleaning and protection due to COVID. The spa is located in the Evergreen Center of Integrative Medicine which is easy to find and has parking right out front. You can check in at the front desk and sit in the cozy lobby where Stephanie will greet you and take you downstairs to her private studio. I have been going to Stephanie for over 6 years. I actually have followed her to multiple locations because she is that good! I am so excited for her to have her own space and studio. She is exceptional. She is very professional and goes above and beyond for her clients. She has great tips and tricks to keep your skin looking healthy. She offers many services from sugaring to facials with everything in between. She also carries many lovely products to help keep your skin looking happy and healthy.

She took a lot of care to make sure to achieve the correct curl and was very meticulous to get my very down turned lashes curled. Stephanie was especially kind and even included a hand/armr massage while waiting for the lash solution to activate/develop. I look forward to my next lash lift in 6 weeks.”

I received my first facial and lash lift from Stephanie and it was everything I had hoped for. Although I had no prior experience with either services, Stephanie exceeded my expectations.”

  • “Stephanie is the absolute best sugaring esthetician I’ve ever been to! I have been seeing her for about 7 years. I have followed her wherever she goes because she is so knowledgeable about skin and sugaring and is just all around a great, caring person. When she moved out of state for a bit I saw people for sugaring at other salons and was so unhappy with the results and pain level that I stopped sugaring all together. Now that she’s back I’m back to being a loyal client!“
