Treatment of the week
The lash lift treatment that celebrities love: Tried and tested
Say goodbye to glue in your eyes. Naturally curly, long lashes are on every girl’s wish list and Browz’s invited us to try their exclusive LVL Lashes (Length- Volume- Lift). It's the lash lift treatment that’s giving extensions and false lashes the boot. The treatment is more advanced and efficient than traditional lash perms. LVL straightens the eyelash out from the root and allows it to reach its fullest potential by looking longer and thicker. Because the lashes are being treated from the root, the results are instant and long lasting.
A team of highly qualified and experienced staff perform the 45-minute, non-invasive treatment in the gentlest of methods, causing no pain. The results last anywhere between 6-8 weeks and the length of time is largely dependent on the health and condition of natural lashes. We'll make sure to update you in 6 weeks on the lash status.
