How Often Should You Get a Lash Lift? Your Complete Scheduling Guide

So you got your first lash lift and now you’re hooked. We get it. There’s something about waking up with perfectly curled lashes that just changes your whole morning. No curler, no mascara panic, just open your eyes and go. But now the big question is sitting in the back of your mind: when can I get another one?

It’s a fair question, and honestly, one we hear almost daily at our studios. The timing between lash lift appointments matters more than most people think. Go too soon and you risk damaging your lashes. Wait too long and you’re back to square one with flat, lifeless lashes staring back at you in the mirror. Let’s break it all down so you know exactly when to book your next session.

What Exactly Happens During a Lash Lift?

Before we talk timing, it helps to understand what’s actually going on during the treatment. A lash lift is basically a perm for your natural lashes. Your lash artist places a silicone shield along your lash line, then carefully lifts each lash from root to tip over that shield. A lifting solution reshapes the lash structure, and a setting formula locks everything into place.

The whole process takes about 45 minutes to an hour. You lay back, close your eyes, and let your lash pro do their thing. When you sit up and look in the mirror? That’s the moment everyone falls in love with the service.

At The Brow Fixx, we use a keratin-infused formula packed with silk peptides, botanical extracts, and vitamins. This isn’t just about making your lashes look good. Our formula actually nourishes and strengthens them with every treatment. It’s medical-grade, only available to certified lash artists, and it’s a big reason why our clients see better results over time rather than weaker lashes.

The Sweet Spot: Every 6 to 8 Weeks

Here’s the short answer: most people should schedule their lash lift appointments every 6 to 8 weeks. That window lines up with your natural lash growth cycle, which typically runs about 60 to 90 days from start to finish.

Your lashes aren’t all on the same schedule, though. At any given time, some are actively growing, some are fully grown and just hanging out, and some are getting ready to fall out and be replaced. When your lifted lashes start to shed and new ones grow in straight, that’s when you’ll notice the curl fading. It doesn’t happen overnight. It’s gradual, and that’s actually a good thing because it means there’s no awkward “my lash lift just died” moment.

Adding a Tint Between Lifts

Here’s something a lot of people don’t realize: you can get a lash lift with tint on the same visit, but the tint tends to fade faster than the curl. Most tints start losing their depth around the 3 to 5 week mark, depending on your skin type and how much sun exposure you get.

The good news? You can absolutely come in for a standalone tint between your lift appointments. If your curl is still holding strong at week 4 but the color has faded, a quick tint refreshes everything without putting your lashes through another lifting process. It’s a smart way to keep that “I just got my lashes done” look going all month long.

What Happens If You Get a Lash Lift Too Soon?

We know it’s tempting. Your lashes look so good after a lift that you want to keep them that way forever. But booking appointments too close together can backfire, and here’s why.

The lifting solution works by temporarily breaking down the bonds in your lash hair so they can be reshaped. If you keep doing that before your lashes have had time to fully recover, the hair structure weakens. You might start noticing your lashes looking frizzy, dry, or brittle. In more extreme cases, lashes can actually break off or fall out prematurely.

Think of it like coloring your hair. One session and your hair looks amazing. But if you bleach it every two weeks? It’s going to start snapping off. Same concept applies here.

This is also why the products your lash artist uses matter so much. Cheaper formulas with harsher chemicals put more stress on your lashes. The keratin-based formula we use at The Brow Fixx is specifically designed to minimize that stress and actually feed your lashes good stuff while they’re being lifted. It makes a real difference in how your lashes hold up over multiple treatments.

Factors That Affect How Long Your Lash Lift Lasts

Not everyone’s lash lift fades at the same rate. Some of our clients swear their results last a full 8 weeks. Others notice changes closer to week 5. A few things influence how long that beautiful curl sticks around.

Aftercare Tips That Actually Make a Difference

You’ve probably heard the basics before, but these tips genuinely extend your results. Our lash artists share these with every client because they work.

Why Our Keratin Formula Changes the Game

Not every lash lift is created equal, and the biggest difference comes down to what’s being put on your lashes. A lot of salons use traditional perming solutions that get the job done but leave lashes dry and stressed. Over time, that wear and tear adds up.

Our keratin lash lift formula is different. It’s infused with keratin (a protein your hair naturally produces), silk peptides, and botanical extracts loaded with Omega 3s, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and antioxidants. So while it’s lifting and curling your lashes, it’s also feeding them nutrients that promote strength and growth.

This is why so many of our regular clients tell us their lashes actually look better and feel stronger after months of consistent treatments. The formula is medical-grade and only available to certified lash artists, which means you won’t find it at every salon around the corner. It’s one of the things that sets The Brow Fixx apart, and it’s a big reason why our clients keep coming back.

Building Your Lash Lift Schedule

If you want to keep your lashes looking their best year-round, here’s a realistic schedule to follow. Most of our clients fall into a rhythm that looks something like this:

Book your lash lift with tint every 6 to 8 weeks. If the tint fades before your next lift, pop in for a quick standalone tint around the 3 to 4 week mark. That gives you about 6 to 8 appointments per year for lifts, with a couple of tint touch-ups sprinkled in between.

The best approach? Talk to your lash artist. At The Brow Fixx, we look at your individual lashes, how they responded to your last treatment, and how well they’re holding up. From there, we can recommend a custom schedule that keeps your lashes looking incredible without overdoing it. Every client is different, and cookie-cutter timing doesn’t always work.

Lash Lift vs. Extensions: Why Lifts Win on Maintenance

One of the biggest reasons people switch from lash extensions to lifts is the maintenance factor. Extensions need fills every 2 to 3 weeks, they come with a long list of care rules, and they can be tough on your natural lashes over time. A lash lift gives you that wide-eyed, full-lash look with almost zero daily upkeep.

You can work out, swim (after the first 24 hours), sleep on your face, and go about your life without worrying about lashes falling off or getting tangled. For busy people who still want to look put-together every morning, a lash lift with tint is honestly the best bang for your buck in the beauty world right now.
