Could they have been curled more??

I understand i have shorter lashes and not very thick but this was supposed to be a lash lift and tint. I see the tint but not very much curl. I paid 160 before tip. Could they have curled them more?

Botched lash-lift left me with hardly any lashes - will they grow back? How long before I look remotely back to normal?

I had a lash lift just over 4 weeks ago ant it went VERY wrong. I've had quite a few lash lifts before and they've always been great, but this was a new place I tried because I was out of town and I am wishing more than anything I could go back in time.

My lashes were over-processed and over-lifted and were extremely uncomfortable afterwards. Some snapped off, while others developed what I believe was folliculitis because of the angle they were set and subsequently fell out, or had to be plucked because they were causing so much pain.

I'm now four weeks post-lift and have very few lashes left — maybe a handful on each lid. Before this, my lashes were quite thick and full and I was so excited to get them lifted has it had been 6 months since my last....I am totally devastated.

I've already received a full refund from the salon (who originally tried to correct the botched shape...) and now don't know if I should be going back to ask for some other compensation based on the extent of the damage??

Mainly wondering about how long it took for other people's lashes to grow back after something similar?

Four weeks in, mine are actually looking the worst they've looked throughout this whole process. I'm wondering when I might realistically start seeing enough regrowth to look somewhat normal again, 8 weeks, 12 weeks....longer??

I know lashes have a growth cycle and that I probably just have to be patient, but I'm really struggling with how upsetting this has been - I barely want to leave the house because I feel so self-conscious.

Has anyone else had a lash lift that caused significant lash loss? How long did it take before your lashes grew back, and how long until they looked reasonably normal again?

Please help me ❤️

Will Lash Lift Help?

Hi all. My right eyelashes are bending down. I’m not sure why but I think it’s due to me taking naps and my lashes being smushed. I’ve tried two lash lifts before and both have failed (maybe due to bad lash techs??). Is it worth trying a third time or are there any alternatives I can try? Willing to do anything lol

Lash techs: Is becoming a lash artist still worth it in 2026?

I’m considering training as a lash technician, but before spending money on courses and supplies, I’d love to hear from people actually working in the industry.

  1. How long did it take to start earning?
  2. How much did you spend to become a lash tech?
  3. Is there still good demand for lash extensions in 2026, or has the market become too saturated?
  4. Can you realistically make a decent living doing lashes full-time, especially as an independent lash tech renting a room/bed rather than owning a salon?
  5. Would you choose this career again if you were starting today?

First lash lift — thoughts?

Got my first lash lift! No mascara or tint, just my bare lashes. I wanted a soft Korean-style look with more separation, but they seem a little straight to me . What do you think, and what could I ask my lash tech to change next time?😁

Korean lash lift

Posting this to help people in a similar position I was in. I had next to no eyelashes left from having lash extensions for 10 years+. I decided to get rid of them and try to grow my natural lashes. After 18 weeks of using UK lash serum and mascara everyday I decided to get a Korean lash lift and this is the end result. 😊

Disappointed

Just got a lash lift done for the first time but I’m kind of disappointed by the results. I have quite straight, short and stubborn lashes (especially the lashes on my left eye) and I was hoping a lift would fix it but there’s still not much volume and they look kind of droopy. Would a Korean lash lift instead of a regular one give me better results?

u/Amandalahlah — 3 days ago

should i ask to have it redone/fixed?

i just paid $120 for lift and i dont rly like it :( i feel like it didn't do anything and i've had lifts before so i know my lashes can have a curl but it was my first time with this tech and i wasn't sure if maybe i shouldn't have worn sunscreen/moisturizer but figured it wouldn't matter since she'd shampoo my lashes before we started. i'm debating on messaging her or just eating the loss. how should i go about this i'm leaving for vacation this weekend and i was hoping the lash lift would save me time on doing my makeup

the first two pics are what i just had done, the second two are from a previous lash lift i loved

Lashlifting beim Mann

Hallo.

Ich plane demnächst ein Lashlifting im Kosmetikstudio. Was haltet ihr davon bei Männern und ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich mir die Wimpern auch färben lassen soll. Meine Tendenz geht zum Färben.

Habt ihr auch Tipps, auf was ich achten sollte.

Lash lift with extensions?

So I have super straight lashes that point downwards but they’re long. I’m looking to get extensions in two weeks but whenever I get extensions, it looks crazy from the side bc my natural lashes poke through down while the extensions go upwards. So I’ve been thinking of getting a lash lift and then extensions.

I got a Korean lash lift + extension combo done two months ago where they placed extensions on right after my lift. but looking through this sub, it’s widely recommended that I don’t get that done.

any suggestions/advice? thank you!!

First lift + tint. Do these look okay?

Got a lift and tint this morning and I’m not sure how I feel. I think they look okay, but kind of…uneven?

First lift

I did my first lash lift today, I used a kit. I like them but I’m hoping to get some constructive feedback back for next time. I used the smallest rod. I also bought babe lash serum to help grow them a bit more. What can I use to keep them moisturized and should I do anything special to help keep them curled? I did brush them a little after because they were so sticky from the glue but they haven’t seemed to have fallen yet.

u/sleepysunflower2 — 6 days ago

I got a lash lift 6 days ago and my lashes look bad and are irritating my eyes. She overprocessed it and they’re stiff and hard. I’m really worried that they’re going to fall off from damage so I just wanted advice on what I should do or if I should just wait for it to grow out and hope for the best

Help! Will my lashes relax?

Update: I found a lovely local esthetician who was able to fit me in last night and relax my lashes. She offers Korean lash lifts, which I now know are much more gentle. I got a good quality serum from her and lots of advice. My lashes are now comfortable and look much better. My irritated skin has some healing to do so I'm using aquaphor or Vaseline on my eyelids.

Thank you to everyone for your support and advice! I knew getting them processed again was risky but it was either take the risk or I was going to cut them because they were hurting my eyelids. The original place did issue a refund back to the giftcards, I'll use it for a massage sometime but never a lash lift again.

Hi all, I just got a lash lift a few hours ago and this is how they look. Will they relax? I leave for vacation on Friday. I'm panicking! I've called the salon twice and they keep telling me that they'll relax. Do I need them to do a correction? I honestly don't have time to go get them fixed but I'll have to because they look crazy.
(Before anyone asks, that's a mole on my eyelid, I've had it all my life. Dr says it's not a problem unless it's bothering me.)

Lash lift as a straight man

Hi, I have very long eyelashes but they’re long to the point where they kind of go down a little and give me a more tired look. I’ve tried eyelash curlers and it makes my appearance change a lot. So my question is, as a straight man would getting a lash lift be too obvious, as well as too feminine/zesty for a lack of better term? Sorry if that seems offensive.

Over curled or over processed?

Got a Korean lash lift today with my usual girl - they normally look amazing but by the time I got home today they looked like this?! What’s going on?? And is there anything I can do to fix them?? Help needed coz I’m gutted at how bad they look! 😭

Lash lift + tint

These are my natural lashes. I’ve always been an avid lash cluster user until they started ripping my eyelashes out. Now im wondering what can I do to make them pop naturally. I want a lash lift but I don’t know if I should + I dont know any lash techs nearby

u/BrilliantCapital6367 — 9 days ago

Need advice, salon over curled my lash lift, don’t want fixing it and blamed LVL protocol.

Hey everyone, looking for professional opinions on a recent lash lift.

My eyes came out completely uneven. One eye is acceptable, but the other is heavily over curled and over processed. Those lashes curl backward toward my eyelid looking crimped and completely mismatched.

The salon initially told me in person that I could return to get it fixed. When I messaged them the next day asking for an experienced tech, they backtracked. Saying they have twenty six years in business and LVL protocol, they claimed they cannot touch the lashes again due to the natural growth cycle. They offered no fix, alternative treatment or refund.

Is it true that nothing can be done, Is waiting out the growth cycle the only option?

Appreciate any insight!
