Your Trusted Lash Lift Artist in Scottsdale

My main goal behind Gameela Skin has always been to help my clients look and feel their best by enhancing their natural beauty. Throughout my career, I’ve loved serving and educating my community on all things skincare and beauty. With my years of experience as an esthetician and a passion for caring for my Scottsdale community {you now who you are}, I opened up Gameela Skin in 2016 and haven’t looked back! 

I’ve been a trusted provider for top-line skin and beauty treatments in Scottsdale, providing services like lash lifts, tints, brow laminations, and more. I love to make my clients feel comfortable from the moment they walk into my salon, and I work hard to make sure their natural beauty shines through, no matter what treatment they are receiving.

What is a Lash Lift?

A lash lift is a semi-permanent process where your natural lashes will be curled and lifted, similar to the effect of an eyelash curler but without the daily hassle. It’s similar to a perm but for your lashes, providing your lashes with a luscious curl from the base of the lash to the top that will last you 6-8 weeks. The top-of-the-line Elleebana lash lift works hard to provide the curl while still being natural and gentle enough for use around the delicate skin of your eyes. 

The Lash Lifting Process

Lash Preparation

While a lash lift service may look different from one salon to another, I can only speak to the lash lift process at Gameela Skin. I’ll begin your lash lift by cleansing the area around the eyes to remove any dirt, excess makeup, or stray pieces of hair, and prepare the lashes. I’ll take special care to make sure your lashes are clear of any makeup or oils that could disrupt the lifting process. 

Application of Gel Pads

Once the lashes and area around your eyes have been prepared, I’ll apply soothing gel pads so we can protect your lower lashes during the lash lift, {enhancing the overall experience}. 

Fit Lashes to Silicone Rod

I’ll then fit your eyelashes for the appropriate size silicone rod, which is dependent on the length of your lashes. This rod will be used to gently shape the lashes into the curl. I will then apply a gentle glue and brush the lashes over the silicone rod, making sure they are lying straight over the rod and coming directly up from the follicle. 

Application of Solution 

Once the lashes are settled in position, I will apply the first solution to the lashes. This solution will sit on the lashes for about three to four minutes, depending on the thickness of your eyelashes. Once this solution has been set, I will remove it and follow it with a second solution for the same amount of time. These solutions serve to semi-permanently curl the lashes, resulting in the desired final look. 

Solution Removal 

Once the lash solutions have both been set for the necessary amount of time, depending on the thickness of your lashes, I’ll remove any excess solution and gently remove the lashes from the silicone rod. If you are only getting a lash lift service, this will be the end of your treatment. However, I recommend considering a lash tint along with your lash lift to achieve the best results from the treatment. 

Lash Tint

A lash tint is the perfect partner to a lash lift. A lash lift will accentuate the curl of your natural lashes, and a lash tint will darken the lashes for a more dramatic look, resulting in luscious lashes around the clock. If you decide to add a tint to your lash lifting treatment, we will remove the silicone rod and the under eye gels and apply the lash tinting solution that compliments your skin tone and eye color. 

Choosing a Lash Lift over Lash Extensions

If you’re looking for a solution to avoid mascara without giving up luscious lashes, you’ve probably come across the debate between lash lifts and lash extensions. While I may be biased, I can be impartial when it comes to breaking down the difference between these two lash treatments. 

• Maintenance: With proper care, lash lift results can last anywhere from 6-8 weeks, while eyelash extensions only last about 3-4 weeks. A lash lift offers an additional month of luscious lashes before you’ll need to return to the salon for a treatment. 

• Natural Appearance: I will always support a treatment that accentuates natural beauty, and lash lifts definitely fit the bill. A lash lift provides a much more natural look than lash extensions. 

• Application Time: Lash lift treatments are a much quicker treatment, taking about 45 minutes. Applying lash extensions can take up to two hours to complete. 

• Safe and Clean Products: The solutions used during a lash lift are designed to be gentle on the eyes. At Gameela Skin, we use products that are completely formaldehyde free and have the added benefit of conditioning your lashes throughout the process. 

• Minimal Down Time: After a lash lift, I recommend avoiding getting your lashes wet for about 24-hours. Other than that, your routine can carry on as normal. With lash extensions, you generally need to adjust your skincare routine for a prolonged period of time to account for the extensions.
