So commonly asked questions I get are, “Am
I gonna go blind?” “Is this gonna hurt?” “Are my lashes gonna burn off after this process?” And I say, “If any of those things were to
happen, I don’t think I would ever do this service.” My name is Dani Eddy, and I’m getting
a lash perm done today. My lash goals would be to wake up in the morning
and not have to do them. I want to get lash perm done today because
I definitely think doing my makeup is a chore. I like to spend as little time as I can on
my looks because I would much rather be either sleeping in or doing literally anything else. Hey, I’m Dominique. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Have you gotten a lash lift done before? No. Do you have any allergies? I don’t. You don’t? Okay, cool. So I’m going to have you fill this out. I don’t know if I’m going to get over
my fear of someone touching my eyes. But I’m excited to see what my eyelashes
will look like and the end, so I’m gonna do it and just think of something else while
she’s touching my eyelid. Thanks, you can come on back. My name is Dominique Jones. I’m a lash technician at Eye Do Lashes based
in Los Angeles. Lash perms have been a thing for some time now. They’ve been doing this in Japan, Korea. It was kind of an old school technique and
smelled super, super gross like perm solution. And they would use these little sticky small rods. And it was just a super outdated technique. But over time it’s been revamped and now
it’s super popular and is known as a lash lift. Dani, so go ahead and lay down. So for the end result do you want your lashes
pretty dramatic and up, or do you want more like a softer curl or do you want to go for
all out, the most extreme? Yeah, let’s just do the drama. Okay, cool. Sounds good. I always tell my clients, just relax, and in 45 minutes
you’ll have amazing lifted lashes. Step one, we cover the bottom lashes with eye patches. We have the client slowly close their eyes,
make sure the patches are comfortable before proceeding with the process. We then adhere a silicone rod onto the top lash line. We apply adhesive onto that rod and start sticking your lashes up onto the silicone rod. I then will brush your lashes up onto the rod
and make sure that they’re isolated nice and that they’re all secure and
stuck onto the silicone rod. I then apply step one. Step one will soften the lashes. It’ll change the elasticity of the lashes. It’ll soften them so that they can mold
into the shape of the rod. I’ll let the lashes set for ten minutes. Then I will apply step two. This is the neutralizing step. This will set and hold the lashes to retain
the shape of the rod, so then when we peel it back, it will stay up and curled. I will let this step sit on for another ten minutes. After that ten minutes is up, I remove step two solution, and the lashes will have retained the shape of the rod. And now I will clean off everything and dry the lashes, brush them, and do the grand reveal. Alright, so are you ready to see your lashes? I am, yes. Alright. I’m so excited. Okay, cool. Here’s the mirror. Woah! That’s nuts! I never thought my eyelashes would be this
long without mascara. I’m so stoked never to put on makeup again. So, the after-care is super easy. I tell my clients, just go about your day as normal. Don’t even think about it that much. Basically just don’t apply mascara and don’t
submerge your lashes in water. And they’re like, “Can I shower, can I
wash my face?” Yeah, you can. Just make it a point to splash around your
lashes so you’re not getting them directly wet. And after 24 hours you can totally forget
about doing anything differently, and just proceed as normal. I think my favorite part about doing lash
lifts is just the instant before and after. They close their eyes for 45 minutes and they open, and it’s just like night and day. And so that instant gratification is super
cool and really rewarding how excited they get. It’s been over a week since I got my eyelashes permed. After I was done with the treatment, I was
super excited because I could already see a difference immediately. My experience at Eye Do Lashes
was a very pleasant one. I was a little nervous going in, but I didn’t need to be
because it was super relaxing and awesome. I have been receiving a lot of compliments. I think a lot of people keep asking me if
I got my eyelashes extended and I’m like, it’s natural. The lash lift can last you about six to eight weeks. It’s super low maintenance. So over time, as lashes go through a cycle,
you get a bunch of new straight ones, and then you can return and do another one. I also encourage lash serum, lash vitamins to enhance their natural lashes so they could
be happier with the results of a lash lift in the future. I would definitely do this procedure again. Overall, this experience showed me that it’s
important to take care of yourself. It reminded me that there’s also stuff that
you can do that’s super low maintenance. And it just helps give you more confidence
and feel better about yourself. I was really happy with Dani’s results. I think it definitely opened up her eyes, made her look more awake. It was a super subtle change, but it just
made all the difference. Thank you for watching Refinery29. To watch more videos, click here. To subscribe, click here.

Did anyone else literally want to throw up from the sound of the sound effects lol
What is this asmr

It donโt even look that different lol

Those ASMR sounds in the background
i paused it and thought it was my stomach making those sounds lmfao
The sound effects ๐๐๐๐๐
I see those tweezers everywhere.
This honestly gave me SO much aNxIeTy My eyes were watering the whole time. I'm tRiGgErEd
Why do they never apply something to re-strengthen the lashes
Im very confused ๐ whatโs with the random ASMR?
Client is cute
Scary. Not for me. Will just not do makeup lol but It's for someone I'm sure
I get mine done in Santa Clarita for 75 bucks
Lol โDo you have any allergies?โ … โOk cool, can I have you fill this out?โ
*signs liability waiver that relinquishes all blame from the lash tech*
Just me or when she put the pink shit on I thought my stomach was rumbling
She kept on blinking as if she had something in her eye๐๐
Pfff nice boy name and my lashes are lifted but I never got a lash lift pretty strange right
Lucky for you, you have clear skinnn
This was soooo asmrish
we get seepage naturally when we go through the day, how can one possibly not have wet lashes? pollutants, irritants,
allergies? eyes are naturally moist for a reason. Lol's this is like saying stop breathing for 24 hours. How? freeze your eyes?
why do young women always use the a instead of the e sound when they speak? like: aaaa ver instead of eh ver?
I don't get it. Is this a trend or something? Then they speak with the end of every sentence with their voices rising up
as if asking a question. I just don't get it. Sorry. I never heard people speak like that when I was younger. Must be a
fad or something. They say: forgat instead of forget. Lol's seems silly to me.
Those sound effects tho
the sound affects tho when she was doing the lahes
What are these Minecraft type sound effects๐ฅด
The sound effects are annoying
the sound effects omfg hahahahaah
The client is so pretty โค๏ธ๐
Okay these sounds effects make me not wanna do this…
She looks like a female Arin Hanson.
Why can't someone make a clear substance that makes the lashes curl upward. Put it in a mascara bottle, then simply apply like regular mascara. And it hardens on your lashes and makes them stand up for around the same time a regular mascara stays on your lashes before flaking off?
Why is she laughing all the time? Whats so funny without a reason…
wtfffff are those sounds
I can get a better result with a lash curler
I feel high watching this
I never had this before Iโm too scared to do it
