Is a Keratin Lash Lift better than a regular lash lift?

If you're considering a lash lift but not sure which one to book, you're not alone. As a lash artist in Boston, I offer both traditional and Keratin Lash Lifts using a cysteamine-based system. That means you're getting a gentle, safe formula either way, but the experience and benefits can still differ depending on what your lashes need.

What’s the difference between a traditional lash lift and a Keratin Lash Lift?

Let’s start with what’s the same. Both services lift and curl your natural lashes using a professional solution that reshapes the hair structure from the root. Both give you curl that lasts about six to eight weeks. And in my studio, both use a cysteamine-based formula, which is much gentler on your lashes than older thioglycolic acid systems.

The key difference is that the Keratin Lash Lift includes added lash care. This service features a keratin-rich finishing treatment, along with a complimentary Bio-Keratin Lash Conditioner that hydrates and reinforces the lash structure. Think of it as a lash lift with an added recovery and strengthening step built in.

What’s included in each service?

Traditional Lash Lift

  • Cysteamine-based lifting system
  • Customized rod size and curl type
  • Ideal for clients with strong, healthy lashes

Keratin Lash Lift

  • Cysteamine-based lifting system
  • Infusion of keratin for added strength
  • Complimentary Bio-Keratin Lash Conditioner
  • Recommended for fragile, previously processed, or dry lashes

Who is each option best for?

Choose a Traditional Lash Lift if:

  • You have strong, healthy lashes
  • You want a bold curl with a lightweight feel
  • You’ve had lash lifts before with no issues

Choose a Keratin Lash Lift if:

  • Your lashes are fine, brittle, or have been overprocessed in the past
  • You want added protection and nourishment built into the service
  • You want to support lash growth and health over time

My approach as a Boston lash artist

No matter which service you choose, I use a cysteamine-based system because it’s safer, more forgiving, and helps maintain lash integrity. I watch every lift closely to prevent overprocessing and make adjustments based on your natural lash condition. I don’t rush through the service, and I take lash health seriously...because a good lift should never come at the expense of healthy lashes.

Still not sure which lift is right for you? I can help you decide during your consultation. Either way, you’ll walk away with beautiful lashes that look lifted, healthy, and effortless. Want a little extra polish? You can add a lash tint to either lift, so your lashes look darker, fuller, and ready to go without mascara.
