How to Prep for Lash Extensions & Lash Lifts
The Haute Loft Lash Experience Guide
At The Haute Loft, your lash appointment is designed to be a pause in your day—never rushed, always intentional, and fully customized to you.
Whether you’re booking lash extensions or a lash lift, your preparation plays a major role in how your lashes look, feel, and last.
Here’s how to get the most out of your appointment.
Why Lash Prep Matters
We prioritize quality, retention, and customization over speed.
Proper prep helps:
Improve lash retention (how long they last)
Ensure clean, seamless application
Prevent irritation or sensitivity
The better your prep, the better your results—and your experience.
Arrive With Clean Lashes (No Makeup or Oils)
Please arrive with completely clean lashes.
Avoid:
Mascara
Eyeliner or shadow
Concealer or foundation near the eyes
Skincare or oils on the lash line
Residue can interfere with adhesive bonding and affect your final results.
👉 Clean lashes = better retention.
Avoid Caffeine Before Your Appointment
Try to avoid caffeine right before your appointment.
Caffeine can make your eyes flutter, which can:
Slow down your service
Affect precision
Make it harder to fully relax
At The Haute Loft, we create a calm, unhurried environment—this helps you settle into it.
Remove Contact Lenses (If Possible)
If you wear contacts, it’s best to remove them before your appointment.
This helps:
Prevent dryness or irritation
Keep your eyes comfortable during longer services
Avoid Eye Treatments Beforehand
Avoid the following for 48 hours prior:
Retinol near the eyes
Chemical peels or facials
Lash curlers or DIY treatments
We work delicately around the eye area, so keeping your skin calm is key.
Skip Waterproof Mascara Before Lash Lifts
If you’re coming in for a lash lift, avoid waterproof mascara for 24–48 hours before your appointment.
Waterproof formulas can leave residue that’s difficult to remove, which can affect how your lift processes.
Plan for Aftercare (Especially First 24 Hours)
After your appointment:
For lash extensions:
Avoid oil-based products
Be gentle—no rubbing or pulling
For lash lifts:
Keep lashes dry for 24 hours
Avoid steam, sweat, and touching
This ensures your results stay flawless and long-lasting.
