Common questions about Lash and Brows

Cobham Beauty offers brow and lash tinting in Cobham, Surrey. Today, we answer some common questions that you might have:

1. What is a lash lift?

A lash lift is a treatment that curls and lifts your natural eyelashes from the root. It creates the appearance of longer, more defined lashes without adding extensions. Results typically last around 6 to 8 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle.

2. What are eyelash extensions?

Eyelash extensions are individual fibres that are carefully applied to your natural lashes using specialist adhesive. They can add length, thickness and volume, giving you anything from a subtle everyday look to a fuller, more glamorous finish.

3. How long do lash extensions last?

Lash extensions gradually shed as your natural lashes complete their growth cycle. With regular aftercare and infill appointments, you can maintain your desired look. Many people book an infill every 2 to 3 weeks.

4. Are lash lifts suitable for everyone?

A lash lift can be suitable for many people, particularly those with straight or downward-facing natural lashes. However, a consultation and patch test may be required before treatment. Your lash technician can advise whether the treatment is suitable for you.

5. Can I wear mascara with a lash lift?

Yes. Once you have followed the recommended aftercare period, mascara can usually be worn with a lash lift. Many clients find they need less mascara because their lashes already appear darker, lifted and more defined.

6. What is a brow tint?

A brow tint adds colour to the eyebrow hairs, making them look darker and more defined. It can help create a fuller-looking appearance and reduce the need for daily brow make-up. A patch test may be required before treatment.

7. What is brow lamination?

Brow lamination is a treatment that smooths and sets the brow hairs into a particular shape. It can create a fuller, brushed-up appearance and is particularly popular with people who want their brows to look neat and defined without applying brow products every day.

8. How long does brow lamination last?

Brow lamination results generally last for several weeks, although the exact length of time varies from person to person. Following the recommended aftercare can help you get the best results from your treatment.

9. What is the difference between a lash lift and eyelash extensions?

A lash lift enhances your natural lashes by lifting and curling them, whereas eyelash extensions add extra fibres to create length and volume. A lash lift is generally a more natural-looking option, while extensions offer greater flexibility if you want a fuller or more dramatic appearance.

10. Do I need a patch test for lash and brow treatments?

A patch test may be required before treatments such as lash lifts, lash tints, brow tints and some other lash and brow services. This helps identify potential sensitivity to the products used. Always follow your salon or therapist's patch-testing and treatment guidelines.
