Whether you prefer a soft, natural curl or a more noticeable lift, our team will help you choose the treatment that fits your style and your lashes. We proudly welcome clients from Coralville, Iowa City, North Liberty, and the surrounding area.
What Is a Lash Lift?
A lash lift is a nonsurgical treatment that gently curls your natural lashes upward from the base. During your appointment, your provider shapes the lashes over a soft silicone shield and applies a specialized lifting solution that holds them in their new position. Unlike lash extensions, nothing artificial is added, which means there is no glue, no fills, and no worrying about extensions falling out. The result is a lifted, open look that makes your lashes appear longer and fuller. Most clients enjoy their results for about six to eight weeks, depending on their natural lash growth cycle.
Korean Lash Lifts: A Softer, More Natural Curl
If you love the idea of a lash lift but want results that feel especially gentle and natural, a Korean lash lift may be the perfect fit. This technique focuses on lifting the lashes right from the root, creating a smooth upward curve rather than a tight, dramatic curl. Korean lash lifts typically use a gentle, nourishing formula that is designed to be kind to your lashes while still delivering a beautiful lift.
Many clients choose a Korean lash lift because the results look effortless, like naturally curled lashes rather than a styled look. This option can be a wonderful choice for anyone with straight or downward-pointing lashes, anyone who is new to lash services, and anyone who wants a polished look that still feels like their own. During your consultation, we will talk through the differences between a classic lift and a Korean lash lift so you can decide which approach suits you best.
Eyelash Tinting for Added Definition
A lash tint is a popular beauty treatment that can darken the eyelashes for more definition, making your natural lashes look darker, thicker, and more defined. This treatment is especially helpful if your lashes are light in color or seem to disappear at the tips, since tinting brings out every lash from root to end. Eyelash tinting uses a dye to darken lashes but does not add curl or length. If you have sensitive skin, ask about irritation risk before booking a tint at a salon. Results usually last around four to six weeks.
Pairing Your Lash Lift and Tint
While a lash lift and a lash tint are each wonderful on their own, many of our clients love combining them in a single visit. The lift opens up the eyes and adds curl, while the tint deepens the color for added definition on your own lashes. Together, they create a fuller, more dramatic look that is still completely natural.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Lash Lift?
Lash lifts and tints are a great option for most adults who want to enhance their natural lashes with minimal daily effort and minimal maintenance. You may be a good candidate if your lashes are straight, point downward, or are difficult to curl, or if extensions feel too high maintenance and you want a more subtle result. These services are also ideal for busy schedules, vacations, weddings, and special events, when you want to look put together without spending extra time on makeup.
Results can vary depending on your natural lash length and hair texture. If you have a current eye infection, recent eye surgery, or sensitivity to cosmetic products, be sure to let our team know, especially if you have sensitive skin or eyes, as the chemical solutions used may cause irritation to the eye area or skin. We will review your history and may recommend a patch test before your treatment to make sure the experience is safe and comfortable for you.

What to Expect During Your Appointment
Your visit begins with a conversation about the look you want and the condition of your natural lashes, so you know what to expect from the appointment process. Once you are settled in, you will relax with your eyes closed while your provider cleans your lashes, places a silicone shield along your lash line, and carefully positions each lash. For the best surface, arrive without eye makeup, heavy creams, or oils around the eye area. The lifting solution is then applied, and this process is timed carefully based on your lash type, followed by a setting solution and a tint if you have chosen one.
If you want to maintain the result, repeat appointments are typically scheduled about every six weeks. Most appointments take about 45 minutes to an hour, and there is no downtime, though for 24 hours you should keep lashes dry and avoid steam, heavy sweating, and mascara so the lift sets well.
Low Maintenance: Caring for Your Lashes After Treatment
A little aftercare in the first couple of days helps you get the most from your results. For the first 24 hours, keep your lashes dry and avoid steam, heavy sweating, swimming, saunas, and waterproof mascara. Try not to rub your eyes, and sleep on your back the first night. After that, you can return to your normal routine.
Gently brushing your lashes with a clean spoolie, using oil-free makeup removers, applying a conditioning serum to nourish your lashes, and keeping the eye area free of heavy oils can help your lift and tint stay beautiful for weeks. With proper aftercare, your Korean Lash Lift can last up to eight weeks.

LEARN MOREFrequently Asked Questions
How long does a lash lift last?
Most lash lifts last about six to eight weeks. However, results can vary depending on your natural lash cycle and aftercare. Because lashes grow and shed naturally, your results will gradually soften as new lashes come in.
What is the difference between a lash lift and a Korean lash lift?
Both treatments curl your natural lashes, but a Korean lash lift focuses on lifting from the root for a softer, more natural upward curve. It typically uses a gentle, nourishing formula and is a great choice for anyone who prefers an effortless look.
Does a lash lift hurt?
No. Lash lifts and tints are comfortable, and many clients find the appointment relaxing. You simply rest with your eyes closed while your provider works.
Can I wear mascara after a lash lift?
Yes. During the first 24 hours, do not wash or wet your lashes. After that, you can return to your normal routine and wear mascara if you like, although many clients find they no longer need it. We recommend avoiding waterproof formulas, which can be harder to remove.
Can I get a lash tint without a lift?
Absolutely. A lash tint is a wonderful standalone service for anyone who wants darker, more defined lashes, and it can also be added to any lash lift.
