What are LVL Lashes, or the LVL Lash Lift?

Created by Nouveau Lashes, the LVL Lashes, is a natural lash treatment, that has taken the beauty industry by storm, with even celebrities lining up to take advantage of the fully natural lift, and leaving false lashes way behind.

Completely differently from a lash perm, LVL straightens our eyelashes from the root, so it lifts them, unlike a traditional lash perm, which simply curls them in the same spot, and doesn’t create that wide eye, lovely lashes effect.

Our lashes look longer and lifted, and can stay that way for up to six or eight weeks.  Even better, use the Nouveau Lashes Conditioning Serum to maintain the results for as long as possible.

The results are instant.  Along with your treatment, you can also have the tint, along with the lifting effect, which gives you that mascara effect from the moment you wake up.

How Long Does LVL Lashes Take?

The treatment can take around 45 minutes or a bit more, depending on your lashes, but the effects are instantaneous.  Your LVL lash technician will treat you in a relaxing environment and you will have the procedure done, with your eyes closed for the lift, and with your eyes open for the lower lash tint.

How Long Does LVL Last?

Your treatment will last for up to 6-8 weeks.  They are maintenance free, apart from when they require a new treatment.  No bare lashes when you leave some on your pillow, and wake up refreshed and ready to go, with your lashes staying glamorous.   If you use the Nouveau Lashes Conditioning Serum, your lashes will be well nourished and thank you for the added attention.

Will My Natural Lashes Suffer?

Nouveau Lash treatments are formulated to be gentle, and prevent damage to your natural lashes.

Be ready for your lash lift, by knowing what to do after you’ve had the treatment. Follow the instructions below to make the most of your lash lift. We all love our natural lashes being lifted and looking awesome, but how to look after them is the question asked most often.  

Maintenance is mostly common sense, with a few pointers to ensure they stay looking great after LVL Enhance Treatments.

How Do I Look After my LVL at Home

LVL lashes lash lift aftercare, help and guidance for after your treatment:

• Avoid getting your lashes wet for the first 24 hours after your Lash Lift appointment.
• Stay away from getting steam on your lashes, so this means avoiding saunas, facials with steam or hot towels, no steam rooms, and avoid swimming for at least 48 hours. Strenuous workouts can also lead to soggy lashes.
• Keep away from mascara and try to sleep without any pressure on your face, as this can move the lashes out of position within the first 24 hours.
• Brush your lashes upwards on a regular basis, with the wand you were given at your appointment, for at least 24 hours after your appointment.
• When you cleanse your face and after your initial 48 hours, still try to take your time and not rub too hard. Gentle is the key work when it comes to eyes.
• Continue with oil free products for cleansing the eyes where possible.
• When you resume using mascara, please use water based mascara and not waterproof mascara, as that can affect the time length of your lift.
• Please don’t wear a sleep mask as it will flatten your lashes and similarly to sleeping on your face, your lashes may end up pointing in all different directions.
• Resist the wish to use lash curlers, as they may add stress and damage to your lashes.

When Can I Book Another Lash Lift?

After your lash lift, your lashes should remain lifted for around 6-8 weeks if you look after them properly, avoid sleeping on them and stay away from oil based products.

If you wish to keep your lashes in good condition, we recommend 6 weeks as the minimum time between lash lifts to ensure the health of your natural lashes.

You can book another lift here.

Before coming for your LVL Treatment, there are a few things you should definitely do, to ensure your appointment goes smoothly.

Arrange your patch test.

Book a patch test for at least 48 hours or more before your actual treatment, to ensure you are adequately patched before the appointment. A skin patch test must be carried out at least 48 hours before your first appointment, and then again six months after the patch, or when there are any new medical conditions occurring that changes your medical history.

For the purpose of making sure your eyes will be ok, we carry out the patch test and fill in your record card, to show you have done the patch test.   

The products included are:

• Bonding Gel
• Lifting Balm
• Fixing Lotion
• Moisturising Serum
• Eyelash Tint

The lash tint will be carried out via a little cotton bud and a touch of the tint in the cabin.

Don’t wear contact lenses.

As easy as it is to say this, if you are wearing contact lenses and are unwilling to remove them, I cannot proceed with your treatment. If your contact lenses need to be soaked in a solution, bring a case and solution with you, or wear glasses.

No eye make-up.

If possible, please arrive with no eye make-up on, especially mascara. It takes time to remove eye make-up and will impact on your treatment. Avoid using oil-based products, such as make-up remover, vaseline or waterproof mascara, as these will affect the outcome of your lash lift. If you can, get into the habit of using an oil free make-up remover for a few days before your treatment.
