Lash and brow services enhance the lashes and brows you already have, or add temporary extensions for a fuller look. At SALT Salon + Spa in Antioch, IL, we offer lash extensions in classic and hybrid styles, lash lifts, brow lamination and brow tinting, all customized to you. A lift or lamination takes about 45 minutes; a full set of extensions takes two to three hours.
Which Lash or Brow Service Is Right for You?
Here is a quick guide. Current times and pricing are in the Lash + Brow section of our Service Menu.
-
Lash lift. A lash lift semi-permanently curls your lashes from base to tip so you can see their full length. We use a curved silicone shield and perm solution to reshape your natural lashes into an upward, realistic curl. A lash lift can last up to four weeks, and you can add a lash tint for more depth.
-
Lash extensions, classic. A full set designed to look natural and enhance your own lash line.
-
Lash extensions, hybrid. A blend of classic and volume lashes, with fans added for a fuller look.
-
Lash fills. Fills keep your set looking full as your natural lashes grow and shed. We offer fills for both classic and hybrid sets.
-
Brow lamination. A brow makeover that sets the hair in a uniform, lifted shape for about four weeks.
-
Brow tint. Color for your brows, done in our spa and including a hand and arm treatment.
What Is Brow Lamination?
Brow lamination is basically a perm for your brows. A setting lotion helps brow hair stay brushed up and lifted for about four weeks, giving them a set, uniform shape. It fills in gaps and gives the illusion of fullness and growth in a fast, noninvasive way, which is why it is often described as a microblading alternative. You can add a brow tint for more definition. Our article on what brow lamination is goes further.
How Long Does a Lash Lift Last, and Can You Wear Mascara With One?
A lash lift lasts up to four weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle. You can wear mascara after a lash lift, though you may need much less of it, because the curl does most of the work. We will give you aftercare instructions at your appointment, and following them helps your lift set and last.

Lash Lift or Lash Extensions: Which Should You Choose?
Choose a lash lift if you love your natural lashes and want them curled and easy to maintain with little to no mascara. Choose extensions if you want added length and fullness, and you are comfortable with regular fills. Extensions are a bigger commitment. A lift is a low fuss way to get a polished, wide awake look.
What Should I Know Before My First Lash Appointment?
- Come with clean, makeup free eyes, and tell us if you wear contact lenses, have sensitive eyes or have had a reaction to lash products before.
- Plan to relax. A lash service is a good time to close your eyes and take a break.
- Ask us about aftercare before you go, so you know what to avoid while your lashes settle. A short routine, such as gentle cleansing and not rubbing your eyes, helps extensions and lifts last.
If you have questions about whether a service is right for you, call the salon at (224) 788-8028. We would rather talk it through first.
How Do Lash Extensions Fit Into My Routine?
Lash extensions are a commitment of time more than anything else. You will have a first appointment for the full set, which takes a couple of hours, and then regular fills so the set stays full as your natural lashes shed. Booking your next fill before you leave makes it easy. If that sounds like more than you want, a lash lift is a lighter way to get a wide awake look. We will help you choose a plan that fits your schedule and your budget, and we will always be honest if a lighter service would suit you better.
Can I Combine Lash and Brow Services With a Facial or Wax?
Yes. A brow wax pairs easily with a tint or lamination, and a facial and a lash lift can be booked in the same visit. See our facials and our waxing pages, and tell us when you book so we can allow time.
