Sugaring is a method of hair removal that dates back to the 1900 BC time period and is considered an ancient Egyptian art. It involves using a paste made of sugar, water, and lemon to remove hair from the root. The sugar paste is applied in the opposite direction of hair growth and then quickly flicked off of the skin in the direction hair growth; eliminating breakage and ingrown hairs. Sugar paste is relatively warm, adheres only to the hair and dead skin, and can remove hair as short as 1/4 of an inch long.
Sugaring can cause a bit of discomfort, especially for first-time clients or when treating more sensitive areas, but it's often considered gentler than traditional waxing. The sensation feels like a quick sting that fades almost instantly, leaving the skin smooth and refreshed. With consistency, the experience becomes more comfortable over time as hair grows back softer, finer, and less dense.
Exfoliation: Gently exfoliate within the week of your appointment using a scrub or mitt. This helps remove dead skin cells, allowing the sugar paste to adhere better to the hair.
Hair Length: For optimal results, hair should be about 1/4 of an inch long. If the hair is too short, the sugar may not grab it properly. If you have shaved, please wait at least 2 weeks to allow the hair to grow long enough.
Avoid Lotions or Oils: Do not apply lotions, oils, or deodorant to the area on the day of the appointment, as these can interfere with the sugar paste’s effectiveness.
Pain Management: If you are concerned about the pain, feel free to take pain relievers like ibuprofen or tylenol 30 minutes before the appointment to minimize discomfort.
No Sun Exposure: Avoid sun exposure or tanning before the appointment to prevent irritation.
After sugaring, the skin benefits most from calm and simplicity. For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid heat, excessive sweating, or anything that causes friction . Allow the skin to rest and breathe. Once any sensitivity has eased, begin gentle exfoliation 2-3 times a week and follow with a light, hydrating oil or moisturizer. Consistent care not only enhances your results, but keeps the skin radiant, balanced, and beautifully smooth between visits.

A Korean Lash Lift is a gentle, controlled lifting technique that enhances your natural lashes by lifting them from the base of the lash rather than creating a tight curl. The result is a soft, elongated lift that opens the eyes while maintaining lash health and growing out evenly over time.
The difference goes beyond just the shape of the lift, it also comes down to technique, tools, and formulation.
A Korean Lash Lift uses flat silicone shields that lift the lashes upward from the base of the lash, allowing for more control and customization. This technique is paired with gentler formulations designed to maintain lash integrity, resulting in a soft, elongated lift that looks natural and grows out evenly.
A Traditional Lash Lift often uses rods, which wrap the lashes into a tighter curl. While this can create a more dramatic result, it offers less control over the shape and may feel more "curled" or permed, depending on lash length and growth pattern.
Korean Lash Lifts are ideal for clients who prefer a natural, balanced finish and a technique that prioritizes lash health, while Traditional Lash Lifts may appeal to those seeking a stronger curl.
Results typically last 6-8 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle and aftercare. Because lashes naturally shed and regrow, the lift will gradually soften rather than drop suddenly.
Yes, when performed properly, a Korean Lash Lift is designed to maintain the integrity of your natural lashes. Processing times are carefully controlled based on your lash type, and the goal is enhancement without overprocessing or damage.
A Korean Lash Lift is a relaxing, detail-oriented service that requires your eyes and facial muscles to remain as still as possible during certain steps. While the lifting and setting solutions are processing, small movements such as talking, smiling, or laughing can shift the lashes while they are being reshaped.
To ensure the best results, clients are asked to remain relaxed and quiet during these phases. Maintaining stillness during processing helps preserve lash alignment, protects lash integrity, and supports a clean, consistent lift.
Proper aftercare helps protect the lift, support lash health, and maintain long-lasting results.
FIRST 24 HOURS:
Moisture or friction during this time can weaken the newly set bonds and cause the lift to drop or become uneven.
AFTER 24 HOURS & ONGOING CARE:
Oil-free and water-based mascaras are recommended after a lash lift because they are lightweight and do not weigh the lashes down or interfere with the lifted shape. These formulas are easier to remove and require less rubbing, which helps preserve the lift and protect lash integrity.
Waterproof mascara is not recommended because it is designed to resist water and typically requires oil-based removers and aggressive rubbing to remove. This friction and oil exposure can weaken the lift, cause premature drop, and place unnecessary stress on the lashes.
LASH SERUMS:
Lash serums should be used with caution after a lash lift. Lash growth serums are not recommended, as they often contain stimulating ingredients that can increase sensitivity, dryness, and speed up the lash growth cycle. Faster lash turnover can shorten the lifespan of the lift and lead to uneven wear.
Lightweight lash conditioners may be used. These formulas focus on hydration and lash flexibility rather than stimulating growth and are less likely to interfere with the lift.
When in doubt, avoiding lash serums altogether is the safest option, as healthy, minimally manipulated lashes tend to hold a lift longer and maintain better integrity.
This service is best suited for clients with healthy, natural lashes that have moderate to fuller density, as this allows the lift to create the most visible and balanced result. It works specifically well for straight or downward-growing lashes and for clients who prefer a soft, natural enhancement with minimal maintenance. A consultation is always included to ensure this service aligns with your lash goals and natural lash pattern.
Lash lifts may not be recommended for lashes that are very sparse, extremely fine, or weakened due to previous overprocessing or lash damage. Results vary depending on natural lash length, density, and strength, which will be assessed during your appointment.
Korean Lash Lifts are designed to look natural, balanced, and effortless, not overly curled or dramatic. If you're seeking a bold or dense lash look, this service may not meet that expectation.
Yes, clients with short lashes can still receive a lash lift. While length cannot be created, the lift can help lashes appear more visible and open by lifting them upward from the base.
