A stylist uses a silicone rod—shaped like a tiny roller for a doll’s hair—and glues your lashes onto it. Then they apply a perm solution that breaks down the bonds in your lashes, followed by a setting lotion that locks that upward curve in place. Think of it like giving your lashes a permanent “flip” sideways, but way more controlled than those old-school eyelash curlers that always pinched you.
The whole process takes about 45 minutes to an hour, and you just lie there with your eyes closed. It’s the closest I’ve ever felt to being a high-maintenance movie star without actually paying for extensions every two weeks.
Why not just use a regular lash lift?
Ah, the plot twist: “Lvl” is actually a brand name for a specific system (like “Kleenex” for tissues). It uses a special two-step solution that claims to be gentler on lashes while giving a more dramatic, longer-lasting result. The “Lvl” part also involves a keratin treatment that strengthens and adds shine—so your lashes look healthier, not just curled.
Other lash lifts might give you a nice swoop, but an Lvl Lash Lift? It’s like upgrading from a bicycle to a motorcycle. The curl holds for 6 to 8 weeks, and you don’t wake up with crazy crimped ends like you used to get from a cheap perm back in the ‘80s.
