What is a Classic Lashlift?
The Classic Lashlift is a natural lash enhancement treatment that lifts and curls your own lashes from the root, creating the appearance of longer, more defined lashes without the need for extensions. Using specially formulated lifting and setting solutions, the natural lashes are carefully reshaped around a silicone shield to create a beautifully lifted curl that opens the eyes while maintaining a soft, elegant finish.
A Classic Lashlift is ideal for clients who want to enhance their natural lashes with minimal maintenance. Whether your lashes are straight, downward-growing or simply lack definition, the treatment creates a naturally lifted effect that makes the eyes appear brighter and more awake. For an even more noticeable result, a lash tint can be added to darken the lashes, giving the appearance of wearing mascara without the daily effort. The treatment can be customised using different shield sizes to achieve either a subtle lift or a more pronounced curl, depending on your eye shape, lash length and desired look. Results typically last 6-8 weeks with the correct aftercare, making it an effortless addition to your beauty routine.
This comprehensive guide provides everything you need to know about the Classic Lash Lift treatment, including how the procedure works, aftercare instructions, frequently asked questions, and beautiful before-and-after results from our clients.
Cleansing
The lashes are thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup, oils and any residue, ensuring the lifting solutions work effectively. Your beautician will discuss your desired result and select the most suitable silicone shield to create your ideal lash lift.
Lifting Solution
The lifting solution is carefully applied to the lashes to break down the bonds within the hair, allowing them to mould into their new lifted shape. The solution is left to process for the appropriate time based on your natural lash thickness and condition.
Setting Solution
Once the lashes have been lifted into their new position, the setting solution is applied to rebuild the hair bonds and lock the new curl into place. This creates a long-lasting lifted effect that typically lasts 6-8 weeks.
Tinting (Optional)
If desired, the lashes can be tinted to enhance their depth and definition, creating the appearance of darker, more noticeable lashes without the need for mascara. These finishing touches leave the lashes looking fuller, more defined and beautifully lifted.
Lash Hydration (Optional)
If desired, a nourishing keratin treatment or conditioning serum can be applied to replenish moisture and help maintain the health, strength and shine of the natural lashes following the lifting process.
Aftercare
The lashes are gently dried using a lash fan, and your beautician will explain the aftercare instructions. To achieve the best, longest-lasting results, avoid exposing your lashes to excessive heat or steam for the first 24 hours. Not getting them wet is a myth.

How is a classic lashlift achieved?
A Classic Lashlift is achieved using specialised lifting formulas that reshape your natural lashes into a beautifully lifted curl. The lashes are first cleansed before being carefully secured onto a silicone shield. A lifting lotion is then applied to soften the lash structure, allowing the lashes to mould into their new shape. This is followed by a setting lotion to lock in the curl for long-lasting results. To complete the treatment, an optional lash tint can be applied to enhance depth and definition, leaving your lashes looking darker, longer and more noticeable
How long will the treatment take?
A Classic Lash Lift treatment typically takes 45-60 minutes, depending on whether a lash tint or nourishing keratin treatment is included. The exact treatment time depends on the length, thickness and condition of your natural lashes, as well as any additional services selected.
How long will my classic lashlift last?
Results from a Classic Lash Lift typically last 6-8 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle, lash type and how well the aftercare instructions are followed. Regular maintenance appointments can be scheduled every 6-8 weeks to keep your lashes beautifully lifted and defined.
Is it painful?
A Classic Lash Lift is a pain-free, non-invasive treatment. You may feel your lashes being gently positioned onto the silicone shield, but the treatment should not be uncomfortable. A slight tingling sensation from the lifting lotions can be normal, but if you experience any burning or discomfort, inform your beautician immediately. If you have sensitive eyes, wear contact lenses, or are using topical skincare or medication that may increase sensitivity, please let your beautician know before the treatment begins
Are there any side effects?
A Classic Lash Lift is generally very safe when performed by a trained professional. Some clients may experience temporary redness of the eyelids or mild eye sensitivity, which usually settles within a few hours. Following the recommended aftercare and requesting a patch test before treatment can help minimise the risk of irritation or an allergic reaction, although these are very rare
Is a classic lashlift suitable for me?
A Classic Lashlift is suitable for most people who want naturally lifted, more defined lashes without the need for extensions. It is particularly beneficial for those with straight, downward-growing or lightly curled lashes who would like a brighter, more open-eyed appearance. However, the treatment may not be suitable if you have an active eye infection, irritation, recent eye surgery or have previously experienced an allergic reaction to lash lifting products. Ultimately, whether a Classic lashift is right for you depends on your natural lashes and the look you want to achieve.
Classic, Korean or Extensions?
Choosing between a Classic Lash Lift, Korean Lash Lift, or Lash Extensions depends on your natural lashes, desired result and lifestyle.
Classic Lashlift: Ideal if you want a natural-looking curl and lift using your own lashes. It enhances the appearance of your natural lashes with minimal maintenance and results typically last 6-8 weeks.
Korean Lashlift: Perfect if you're looking for a more customised, precision lift. Using a glueless technique and ultra-thin shields, Korean Lashlifts create a lift from the root of the lash, while prioritising lash health with specially formulated ingredients. Though for sensitive eyelids, can be more irritating.
Lash Extensions: Best for clients wanting added length, volume and definition beyond what their natural lashes can provide. Individual extensions are applied to each natural lash to create anything from a subtle enhancement to a full, dramatic look. Infills are typically required every 2–3 weeks to maintain the result.
Ultimately, the right treatment comes down to your personal preference. If you want a beautiful, natural enhancement with very little maintenance, a Classic Lash Lift is an excellent choice. If you prefer the most refined and customised natural lift, a Korean Lash Lift may be the perfect option. If you're looking for maximum length, volume and glamour, Lash Extensions provide the most dramatic transformation.
