Your esthetician will cleanse your eye area and place a silicone rod on your eyelids. Your natural lashes are then carefully curled over the rod and secured with a gentle adhesive. A lifting lotion is applied to shape the lashes. Heads-up, there is a distinct smell from the perm solution. If you were around for the 90s, you’ll remember perms were all the rage! The smell dissipates fairly quickly. This is followed by a setting lotion to lock in the curl. Then a color solution is then applied to deepen the shade of your lashes. The entire process takes about 45 to 60 minutes, during which you can relax with your eyes closed.
