The Lash Lift
Did you know that before The Original HMF, and even before HMF Hair Extensions and Beauty, I wrote a Mommy Beauty Blog?
When I was a brand new mom, I started writing about all the things that I was doing to make myself feel like my best self, because when you first become a mom you start to worry about losing your sense of self. I felt like it helped me and other moms to feel less alone at such a vulnerable time.
I decided to share a post from that blog, The Fancy Pants Mom because it’s still one of my favorite treatments and one that I still do when I’m not wearing my lash extensions, especially over the summer. The name may have changed from 7+ years ago but the treatment is the same, so here’s my blog on Lash Lifts - or as they were known years ago, a Lash Perm and Dye.
Here’s a great way to look fabulous from the moment you wake up… perming and dying your lashes.
I know it sounds crazy, but it is amazing. Just because I did this does not mean I don’t still wear mascara! It makes it look even better because my lashes now stay curled all the time!
You know those people at the gym, pool, and beach with the mascara streaking down their face? You so don’t want to be that girl, do you? Well, dying your lashes eliminates this problem, sometimes you just want to run out of your house and not worry about putting anything on. I love having my lashes permed and dyed, for this reason, I wake up looking refreshed and put together.
My lashes tend to be a little unruly and clumpy and perming them keeps them separated and untangled. It also gives them a nice natural curl without an eyelash curler. I personally quit using my eyelash curler after the second time it cut my lashes in half (fool me once…). So now I can have them curled all the time and dark without having to do any work.
It looks like I have mascara on, but I don’t and there’s no streaking when I get out of the pool. It’s fantastic.
It takes about an hour and a half to have the full service done, but for a busy mom, you definitely get that time back and then some when you can rush out the door to 9:30am music class without doing anything and you don’t look like a total disaster. I of course always put my mascara on if I have other eye makeup on to make my lashes really pop, or if I know I’ll be out in the land of the living all day long. The dye lasts about 4-6 weeks and that portion of the service only takes about 15 minutes. The perm lasts until your lashes fall out or about 2 months or so. If you have both services done is will probably cost about $105 depending on where you go, and dying your lashes costs about $20-35. It is much easier to find someone to tint your lashes than to perm them. I only know one person locally who provides this service.
I definitely recommend this service after growing your natural lashes out with the Grande Lash MD. It is the greatest time saver for the busy mom on the go! It also makes a huge difference in the way you feel especially when you are tired or feeling like you don’t have the time to primp like you used to.
If you live in Sunny South Florida, call and make an appointment with Joyce at Dr. Koger’s office in Jupiter 561- 748-1565. She will get you all set up and looking amazing in just an hour and a half! She is awesome at what she does!
