Brow Henna at Lash Layer, Pickering
Henna is making a comeback and not just for your hands! Used for centuries, take the old tradition of henna and apply it in a new way – on your brows! Chemical-free and all-natural, henna has been used around the world as a symbol for feminine beauty, empowerment and expression. Strengthen and nourish your brows with henna!
What is Brow Henna?
Brow henna is a safe, natural tinting alternative to chemical brow tinting. Henna, a flowering plant primarily found in the Middle East and North Africa, provides a rich, long-lasting colour when applied to skin and hair. It is vegan-friendly, peroxide-free, ammonia-free and does not require oxidants to activate.
The way brow henna works is by penetrating the hair follicle’s shaft to tint both brow hair and the skin from which the hair grows. This gives the brows a fuller look with more depth as not only is the hair coloured, but the skin is too – this eliminates the look of sparse eyebrows while remaining natural. Say “see you never” to your brow pencils, gels and powders– brow henna at Lash Layer has got you covered!
What is the process of a lash lift?
At Lash Layer, we want to make your vision into a reality! At the beginning of your appointment, you will have a one-on-one consultation with Albina, our head lash artist, about the amount of curl and height you would like for your lash lift. Then lay back and relax as our artist cleanses your eye area to ensure no dirt, makeup, oil, or dead skin interrupt the lifting process.
After separating your top and bottom lashes, a silicone mold will be gently placed over your eyelids, at the base of your top eyelashes. Your top lashes will be gently combed to adhere to the silicone mold to retain their shape. Once done, an eye-safe perming gel/lotion/solution is applied for approximately ten minutes, depending on your hair type. Once complete, a ten-minute setting solution is applied to the lashes followed by a ten-minute nourishing oil. After your lash lift is complete, your lash artist will use an optional colour tint to your newly lifted lashes to give them a dark, full, faux-mascara look, and you are ready to go!

Frequently Asked Questions
Lash Lift & Tint
Pickering, Ontario
A lash lift with tint and consultation will take approximately forty-five minutes to one hour to complete.
No! Your lash lift is pain-free. Come into our lash studio and relax while your lashes are curled to your specifications. Your safety is our top priority, all lash lift and tint solutions are Canadian-made and tested by Lash Layer to ensure the highest safety standards are met.
Lash lifts are semi-permanent and will typically last six to eight weeks, depending on your lash growth cycle. The reason for this is that, just like the hair on your head, your natural eyelashes grow, fall out and regrow. New natural eyelashes that grow in to replace your previous eyelashes will grow in the same way, most likely straight, as they were before your lash lift. As a result, once the majority of your natural eyelashes have fallen out and new ones grow to replace them, getting another lash lift is a good idea.
The beauty of a lash lift is that it is very low maintenance. The first 24 hours after your lash lift are crucial – no makeup, water, steam, sweat or any moisture on your newly lifted lashes at the risk of losing their shape and hold. Just like a hair perm, your lifted lashes need time to allow the bonds to solidify. After these 24 hours are up, you are free to follow your regular daily routine – this includes wearing your favourite face serums, oils and moisturizers.
Yes! An added benefit of lash lifts is that you can still apply mascara and even strip lashes for extra eye drama on a night out or special event. Once your 24 hours waiting period is up, everything is fair game!
If you are interested in eyelash extensions after a lash lift, it is possible and something many of our clients eventually do. The crucial point to remember is that you will need to wait eight weeks after your lash lift to get eyelash extensions. The reason for this is that it is impossible to properly attach lash extensions onto lifted lashes as your lash base will not be laying flat due to the lift. It takes approximately eight weeks for all lifted lashes to go through the normal lash growth cycle and be ready to retain a set of eyelash extensions properly.
Yes! During your consultation our lash artist will go over the different curls available and recommend the right curl for you based on your eye shape and lifestyle. We can achieve a soft lift with a natural curl or give them an extra boost to open up your eyes with a higher lift. There are three levels of Lash Lift available.
No! The lash tint is included for free in your Lash Lift service, however, if you want you can opt out. We do recommend that you take advantage of a lash Tint as the tint color is dark blue black and it adds a lot of depth to dark lashes.
Yes! for Free! We recommend doing a patch test 48 hours prior to your Lash Lift & Tint service to check for any allergies. We will swab your inner arm and behind the ears with all three lash lift solutions and tint. Then monitor for any reactions over the next 48 hrs and if there is no reaction then we can proceed with your service.
