Which Lash or Brow Service Is Right for You?
Our lashes and brows page has the overview, and the Service Menu lists current times.
Lash Lift
A lash lift semi-permanently curls your lashes from base to tip, so you can see the whole length of your natural lashes. A curved silicone shield and perm solution reshape them into an upward, realistic curl.
It takes about 45 minutes and can last up to four weeks. You can add a lash tint for more depth.
Classic Lash Extensions
A classic set is a full set of lash extensions designed to look natural and enhance your own lash line. A full set takes about two hours.
Hybrid Lash Extensions
A hybrid set combines classic lashes with volume fans for a fuller result. It takes up to about three hours.
Fills for Extensions
Fills keep an extension set looking full as your natural lashes shed and grow. Fills are available for both classic and hybrid sets and take about 75 minutes.
Brow Lamination
Brow lamination sets your brow hair in a uniform, lifted shape for about four weeks. It takes about 45 minutes, and you can add a brow tint.
Brow Tint
A brow tint adds color to your brows. It is done in our spa, includes a hand and arm treatment and takes about 20 minutes.
Lash Lift or Lash Extensions: Which Should You Choose?
Each option suits a different routine.
Choose a Lash Lift If
- You like your natural lashes and want them curled and easy to wear.
- You want less time in the chair and less upkeep than extensions.
- You want to need little or no mascara.
A lift does not add length. It shows off what you have, and our article on how long a lash lift lasts explains why the curl fades with your lash cycle.
Choose Classic Extensions If
- You want a natural, defined look with a little added length.
- You are comfortable coming back for regular fills.
- You want lashes that look done the moment you wake up.
Choose Hybrid Extensions If
- You want a fuller, more textured look than classic.
- You can set aside a longer first appointment.
- You like the idea of single lashes mixed with fans.
Extensions are a bigger commitment than a lift, because the set needs fills as your natural lashes shed. We will help you choose based on your routine, and we will be honest if the lighter option suits you better.
How Do Lash Extensions Work?
Lash extensions are applied by hand, one at a time, to your own natural lashes. In a classic set, one extension goes on one natural lash.
In a hybrid set, some natural lashes get a single extension and others get a small fan of finer extensions. That mix gives a fuller, more textured look.
Extensions grow out with your natural lashes. As each natural lash sheds, the extension on it goes too, which is why a set thins over time and needs fills.
How Do You Choose Length, Curl and Fullness?
Start with how you want to look in the morning: a natural, awake look or a more dramatic one. Think about glasses, and about how often you plan to wear mascara.
Photos help, and so does a close look at your natural lashes. We will talk through what suits your eye shape and your routine.
Bigger is not always better. A set that is too heavy for your natural lashes can feel uncomfortable, so the goal is a set your lashes can carry.
What Does Upkeep Look Like for Each Service?
- Lash lift: plan to rebook around every four weeks.
- Brow lamination: plan to rebook around every four weeks.
- Lash extensions: a full set, then fills as lashes shed. A fill takes about 75 minutes.
- Tints: refresh when you notice the color fading.
Your schedule depends on how fast your lashes and brows grow. We will help you set it at your first visit.
What Does Brow Lamination Add to Your Brows?
Brow lamination is basically a perm for your brows. A setting lotion gives the hair a set, uniform shape and helps it stay brushed up and lifted for about four weeks.
It fills in gaps and gives the illusion of fullness in a fast, noninvasive way, which is why it is often chosen as an alternative to microblading. Our article on what brow lamination is covers it in full.
When Is a Brow Tint Worth Adding?
A brow tint adds color to your brows, which can make them look more defined and fuller. It pairs well with lamination, since one changes direction and the other changes color.
You can book a brow tint on its own or add it to lamination. A lash tint can also be added to a lash lift, so your lashes look darker too.
What Happens at a Lash Appointment?
- A conversation. We talk about the look you want and about your lashes and eyes, including contact lenses or sensitivities.
- Preparation. Your lashes are prepped and the skin around your eyes is protected.
- The service. For a lift, your natural lashes are set and curled. For extensions, they are applied one at a time.
- The finish. We check the look and your comfort, and show you the result.
- Aftercare. We go over how to care for your lashes so the service lasts.
Your eyes stay closed for most lash services, so it is a good time to rest.
How Do You Prepare for a Lash or Brow Appointment?
- Come with clean, makeup-free eyes and brows when you can.
- Tell us if you wear contact lenses, have sensitive eyes or have reacted to lash or brow products before.
- Bring photos of looks you like, and a few you do not.
- Allow enough time. A first set of extensions takes a couple of hours.
- Arrive on time. Guests arriving 10 to 15 minutes late may be asked to reschedule.
A valid card is required to secure appointments. Our about page lists the rest of our booking and visit policies.
What If Something Does Not Feel Right?
Tell us before, during and after your service. Before, share sensitivities, contact lenses and past reactions so we can plan around them.
During, tell us if anything stings or feels uncomfortable, and we will pause. After, if your eyes or skin become red, itchy or sore, stop using any product you suspect, call us and check with your doctor if it does not settle.
How Do You Care for Lashes and Brows Afterward?
Ask for aftercare timing at your appointment, and follow it first. General guidance many lash and brow professionals share:
- Keep your lashes and brows clean and gently brushed.
- Avoid rubbing or pulling at your eyes.
- Be cautious with oil-based products around the eyes, since oils can loosen extensions and relax a lift.
- Ask about timing for washing, steam and makeup after your specific service.
Mascara is a common question after a lift, and our article on wearing mascara with a lash lift covers formulas and removal.
Can Lash and Brow Services Be Combined With Other Visits?
Yes. A brow wax pairs well with a tint or lamination, and a lash lift fits easily alongside a facial. Tell us when you book so we can set aside enough time.
You can see our facials page and our waxing page for the rest of the spa menu.
What Should You Bring to a First Lash or Brow Visit?
Bring photos of looks you like, a list of products you use around your eyes and your contact lens details if relevant. Think about how much time you want to spend on your lashes and brows each morning, since that often decides which service fits.
Not sure what you want? That is fine. We can talk it through and start with something simple, and you can meet our team before you book.

What Do People Get Wrong About Lashes and Brows?
Thinking a Lash Lift and Extensions Are the Same
They are not. A lift curls the lashes you have, and extensions add new lashes to your natural ones.
Expecting the Same Upkeep From Both
They are very different commitments. A lift lasts up to about four weeks and then needs rebooking, while extensions need regular fills.
Believing Brow Lamination Is Permanent
It lasts about four weeks, and then your brows return to their natural direction.
Assuming a Home Kit Gives the Same Result
These services depend on precision close to the eyes. If you have had a bad experience with a kit, tell us what you used so we can plan around it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Do Lash and Brow Services Cost in Antioch?
Current prices for every lash and brow service are on our Service Menu, so they stay accurate.
Do Lash Extensions Damage Natural Lashes?
Extensions applied with care and looked after properly should not. Rubbing, pulling and skipping fills can cause problems, which is why aftercare matters.
How Often Do Extension Sets Need a Fill?
As your natural lashes shed, the set thins, so fills keep it full. We will suggest a schedule when you book your set.
Can a Lash Lift and a Facial Be Booked in One Visit?
Yes. Mention both when you book so we can plan the order and the time.
Are Lash Services an Option for Sensitive Eyes?
Tell us about it when you book, so we can talk through the process and whether a service is a good fit.
Can I Swim or Work Out After a Lash or Brow Service?
Ask about timing for your specific service. Water, steam and heavy exercise are all part of the aftercare conversation.
