00:32done today because I
00:34definitely think doing my makeup is a chore I like to spend as little time as I can on my

01:11back my name is Dominique Jones I'm a lash technician I do lashes based in Los Angeles the lash perms
01:19have
01:19been a thing for some time now they've been doing this in Japan Korea it was kind of an old
01:25-school
01:25technique and smelled super super gross like perm solution and they would use like these little
01:32sticky small rods and it was just a super outdated technique but over time it's been revamped and now it's
01:41super popular and is known as a lash lift Danisa go ahead and lay down so for the end result
01:49um do
01:49you want your lashes pretty dramatic and up or do you want more like a softer curl or do you
01:54want
01:54to go for all out more six yeah let's just do the draw okay cool sounds good I always tell
02:00my clients just
02:01relax and in 45 minutes you'll have amazing lifted lashes step one we cover the bottom lashes with eye patches
02:13we have a client slowly close their eyes make sure the patches are comfortable before proceeding with the process we
02:23then adhere a silicone rod onto the top lash line we apply adhesive onto that rod
02:37and start sticking your lashes up onto the silicone rod
02:48I then will brush your lashes up onto the rod make sure that they're isolated nice and that they're all
02:58secure and stuck onto the silicone rod
03:06I then apply step one step one will soften the lashes it'll change the elasticity of the lashes
03:15it'll soften them so that they can mold into the shape of the rod
03:24I'll let the lashes set for 10 minutes
03:37then I will apply step two this is the neutralizing step this will set and hold the lashes to retain
03:47the shape of the rod
03:48so then when we peel it back it will stay up and curled
03:57I will let this step sit on for another 10 minutes
04:05after that 10 minutes is up I remove step two solution
04:19and the lashes will have retained the shape of the rod and now I will clean off everything and dry
04:27the lashes brush them
04:32and do the grand reveal
04:50so the aftercare is super easy I tell my clients just go about your day as normal don't even think
05:01about it that much
05:02basically just don't apply mascara and don't submerge your lashes in water
05:07and they're like can I shower can I wash my face
05:10yeah you can just make it a point to splash around your lashes so you're not getting them directly wet
05:15and after 24 hours you can totally forget about doing anything differently and just proceed as normal
05:23I think my favorite part about doing lash lifts is just the instant before and after
05:29they close their eyes for 45 minutes and they open and it's just like night and day
05:33and so that instant gratification is super cool and really rewarding how excited they get
05:42it's been over a week since I got my eyelashes permed
05:46after I was done with the treatment I was super excited because I could already see a difference like immediately
05:52my experience at I do lashes was a very pleasant one
05:56I was a little nervous going in but I didn't need to be because it was super relaxing and awesome
06:02I have been receiving a lot of compliments
06:04I think a lot of people keep asking me if I got my eyelashes extended and I'm like it's natural
06:13the lash lift can last you about six to eight weeks it's super low maintenance
06:17so over time as like lashes go through a cycle you get a bunch of new straight ones and then
06:23you can return and do another one
06:24I also encourage lash serum lash vitamins to enhance their natural lashes so they can be happier with the results
06:34of a lash lift in the future
06:36I would definitely do this procedure again overall this experience showed me that it's important to take care of yourself
06:44it reminded me that there's also stuff that you can do that's super low maintenance
06:48and it just helps give you more confidence and feel better about yourself
06:51I was really happy with Danny's results I think it definitely opened up her eyes
06:56made her look more awake it was like a super subtle change but it just made all the difference
