r/Lashlift

Ok help, I feel like this last lift is BAD, like really bad (not the worst no) but like it just looks so bad, am I overacting?

The tips are just weird, and it looks so strange with mascara on

Ive done many different lash lifts over the years and have usually been happy with the results. When I looked at the salon, I didn’t notice them being as curled as they look now that I’m home. Also it’s 100 degrees in NYC today so I’m not sure if being outside for 30 mins after already messed them up? I know they usually relax some after 24 hours so I don’t want to reach out to the salon yet.

Tell me I’m overreacting 🙈

Thank you!!

I absolutely loved the results right after I got a korean lash lift (the pic is right after the lashlift. Looks like I'm wearing mascara 😍). The problem is that after about a week, my lashes become a complete mess. They start going in every direction and become a nightmare to brush, almost as if they've lost their structure. It's also impossible to apply mascara, for example.

I don't know whether it's because of the person doing the lash lift and/or the products they use, or if it's just how my lashes react...

I'm really disappointed because I genuinely love the results at first and I'd like to keep getting lash lifts.

But not when, after just a week, they become such a hassle.

How is it for you? Do your lashes gradually go back to their natural shape nicely? Or is it normal to go through an awkward transition phase?

I do apologize for these pics, they look a bit jump scare-ey.

First pic is no eye makeup. Second is shortly after my first lash lift and dye. Was it worth it? I do see a difference, but I'm feeling unsure after my mother's comment.

The salon isn’t answering and I’m worried my lashes have been severely overprocessed after my appointment this morning (was about 4 hours ago).

Should I go ahead and wet/rinse them to prevent them from perming further? As time has gone on they’ve curled back on themselves even further and look “wonky” which I know is a tale tell sign of overprocessing.

Or should I go back and have them relax them?

Hi. Just got my first Korean lash lift done a few hours ago. Lashes look fine from the front, but I’m not so sure about the side. The lash tech told me it’s typical to go for a full lift your first time, but they are touching my eyelids and sort of appear to be shooting straight up.

Can’t tell if I’m being dramatic. I realize my eyes are deep set so that’s a contributing factor.

Is there a way to relax the shape a bit? // should i go to another tech? I’m travelling tomorrow so won’t be able to revisit the original tech 😭

hi! so i got a lash lift this past saturday. tried a new place as my usual girl doesn’t love doing them often so i thought why not. big mistake! right when i was done they looked perfect, but after driving home just 10 mins they curled up like crazy and looked awful!! i texted the esthetician who did them and she didn’t respond (obv she was busy) so i texted my usual esthetician who advised me to immediately wash my lashes with soap and water bc of how bad they looked! so i did. i reached out to the salon owner - who i know- and explained what happened. and she said they could have me come back in for a reset to relax the curl- as long as my lashes were healthy enough. i’m very skeptical to return to the same place as they messed it up in the first place. but i’ve spoken with 2 other trusted estheticians who recommended i go back to the same place as to not mix different brands of chemicals. i am going on vacation on friday and im extremely insecure about how my lashes look. i dont think i can enjoy my trip like this. and its a very special trip. should i get the relaxing treatment?? im scared to make it worse but im really upset about this! i’ve had 4 lash lifts previously and never had anything like this occur.

Before and after photos below. I was definitely hoping for a bigger wow factor. Last photo is 1 day after treatment from the side. Is it worth going again in a few weeks? Is it possible based on the photos of getting more noticeable results? I wont spend 100 each month if this is it 😬 but should i be truing a different tech for better results?

Hi girls, just did my first lash lift, its been less than 24h and i am worried they will never go back to normal. The results so far look ok but i didn’t like the look on me so i want them to go back to normal…

Can anyone here tell me their experience, any advice, do they ever go back to normal?

Maybe i am just stressing i don’t know but i think she did them wrong 😑

my eyelashes or more curled on one eye and it’s bothering me!!! Will this subside or do I need to get a reversal?

I have hooded eyes and long lashes and am worried I will look overly surprised and scared lol. I want a tint for sure but wanted some opinions on what lift might work if it is recommended I've heard Korean lift has left of a c shaped curly curl

I am a half Indian half white woman with stubborn lashes. Curling them manually never lasted, they would stick out in different directions, and humidity instantly kills them.

I got my first Korean lash lift hoping this would finally curl them, and am so satisfied. This is me one day post lift. I wanted to share my results because there wasn’t much discourse online about effectiveness for south Asian women or biracial women and wanted to share my experience!!

For reference, she used a more c shaped rod (more outward curl, then upward curl instead of a more dramatic lift) to make grow out less obvious. I think this is good because my lashes are already long but my grow out would be obvious with a more dramatic curl.
