If you’re thinking about getting your first lash lift, you’re not alone. More and more people are turning to this natural, low-maintenance alternative to lash extensions for a wide-eyed, lifted look that lasts for weeks. But stepping into the world of lash treatments for the first time can feel a bit daunting.
What should you expect? What do you need to do beforehand? And most importantly, where should you go to ensure your first experience is safe, comfortable and delivers real results?
Let’s walk through everything you need to know to prepare for your first lash lift appointment—plus why booking with Rene Lashes could make all the difference.
A lash lift might sound simple—after all, it’s just your natural lashes getting a gentle curl, right? But like any professional treatment, results depend heavily on two things:
How you prepare for your appointment
Who you trust with your lashes
The process involves delicate work around your eyes using a chemical solution. So preparation, aftercare, and most importantly, your choice of salon all impact whether your lash lift looks great and lasts—or ends in disappointment.
That’s where Rene Lashes stands out.
If you’re new to lash lifts, your experience is only as good as the technician you choose. Rene Lashes, based in the UK, is quickly becoming the go-to destination for people trying a lash lift for the very first time. Why? Because they specialise in first-time appointments.
At Rene Lashes, the focus is on education, comfort, and care. You’re not rushed through an appointment or upsold on treatments you don’t need. Instead, you’re guided through every step of the process—what it involves, what to expect, and how to maintain your results. It’s a true “no-surprises” experience.
From the moment you walk in, you’re made to feel welcome. The studio is clean, calm and stylish, the technicians are fully trained, and the products are gentle on even the most sensitive eyes.
This isn’t just about great lashes—it’s about giving you full confidence from the start.

Best for:
Anyone who’s never had a lash lift before and wants to feel informed, safe and 100% confident in their results.
A patch test is essential before any lash treatment, especially if you’ve never had one before. Reputable salons like Rene Lashes will always insist on this at least 24–48 hours before your appointment. It’s quick, free, and could prevent a reaction.
Tip: Avoid any technician who doesn’t require a patch test. It’s a red flag.
For best results, turn up with clean, make-up-free lashes. Mascara, eyeliner or even oily make-up removers can interfere with how the solution works.
Pro tip: Skip waterproof mascara for at least two days beforehand—it’s notoriously difficult to remove fully.
If you’re tempted to give your lashes one last curl before the lift—don’t. Curling them in advance can affect the shape of the final result and make it harder for your technician to apply the lifting rods.
Lash lifts are non-invasive and pain-free—but they do take around 45–60 minutes. You’ll be lying down with your eyes closed, so wear something comfortable and avoid caffeine beforehand to help you stay still.
With Rene Lashes, you’ll receive a clear overview of what to expect before you even arrive, which helps ease any nerves. First-time clients often say they feel surprisingly relaxed throughout the appointment.
Want something subtle and natural, or a bold lift that mimics extensions? Let your technician know. A skilled lash artist—like the ones at Rene Lashes—will tailor the treatment to your eye shape and natural lashes while giving honest advice about what’s achievable.
Aftercare is simple but important. For the first 24 hours after your lift, avoid water, steam, and heavy sweating. That means skipping your evening bath or gym session, and holding off on eye make-up.
Rene Lashes provides easy-to-follow aftercare guidance that makes it simple to protect your results.
First-time clients often have questions. How long will it last? Will it damage my lashes? Can I still wear mascara?
At Rene Lashes, your consultation is never rushed. You’re encouraged to ask anything you’re unsure about—and you’ll leave with a full understanding of how to look after your lashes.
A good lash lift doesn’t just curl your lashes. It opens up your eyes, frames your face, and gives you that bright, “just awake” look without any mascara or falsies.
That’s the power of choosing the right salon.
Trying something new should never feel intimidating—and with Rene Lashes, it doesn’t. From your patch test to your aftercare plan, every step is handled with care, clarity, and professionalism.
If you’ve been thinking about getting a lash lift but haven’t known where to start, this is your sign.
