Lash Lift & Tint in Coquitlam: Low-Maintenance Lashes
September 3, 2026 · Ola Beauty Bar, Burnaby
If you love the look of fuller lashes but the idea of regular fills feels like a lot, a lash lift and tint might be exactly what you're searching for. It's the low-maintenance alternative to extensions that so many of our Coquitlam clients quietly fall in love with — you keep your own lashes, skip the upkeep, and still wake up looking put together. Here's everything you need to know before you book.
What is a lash lift and tint?
A lash lift is a gentle, semi-permanent treatment that curls your natural lashes from the base upward, so they look longer and more open. A tint then adds soft, buildable colour — deepening pale or sparse tips so your lashes read as darker and more defined without a single coat of mascara. Together, the two treatments make the most of the lashes you already have. There's nothing glued on and nothing to "fill" every few weeks.
The results typically last through one natural lash growth cycle — roughly six to eight weeks for most people — before gradually relaxing back to normal. That's it. No adhesive, no weekly worrying, no midnight mascara panic.
The "clean girl" look everyone's searching for
Right now the beauty world is obsessed with the effortless, fresh-faced "clean girl" aesthetic that Hailey Bieber has made her signature: glowy skin, brushed-up brows, glossy lips, and lashes that look naturally lifted rather than heavily coated. It's understated on purpose — the goal is to look like the best, most rested version of yourself, not like you're wearing a full face of makeup.
A lash lift and tint is genuinely one of the easiest ways to recreate that look. By lifting your own lashes and adding a whisper of tint, we open up the eye and give you that soft, defined finish that pairs beautifully with minimal makeup. (To be clear, Hailey Bieber isn't a client of ours — we just love how well this treatment channels the trend everyone's asking about.) If you'd like a little extra drama for a special occasion, mascara still works perfectly over a lift.
Lash lift vs. extensions: which is right for you?
Both are wonderful — they simply suit different lifestyles. Extensions add length and density you don't have naturally and give you that full, glamorous look, but they ask for fills every two to three weeks and careful aftercare. A lash lift enhances what's already there and asks for almost nothing in return. If you want the fuller option, our classic lash extensions are a lovely place to start, and we walk through the full comparison in Lash Lift vs. Lash Extensions: Which Is Right for You?
A lash lift and tint tends to be the better fit if you:
- Have decent natural lash length but wish they held a curl
- Want a wash-and-go routine with no fills to schedule
- Prefer a natural, everyday look over full extensions
- Are active — gym, swimming, hot yoga — and don't want to baby your lashes
- Are taking a break between sets of lash extensions in Coquitlam and want to give your natural lashes a rest
What to expect at our studio
The appointment is relaxing — you'll lie back with your eyes closed for about 45 to 60 minutes while your lash artist shapes and sets the curl, then applies the tint. It's completely comfortable, and many clients drift off. Afterward, we ask you to keep lashes dry and makeup-free for around 24 hours so the curl fully sets; after that, you're free to carry on as normal.
Aftercare is refreshingly simple, but a few good habits keep your results looking their best. Many of the tips in our Lash Extension Aftercare: Make Them Last guide apply here too — gentle cleansing, no rubbing, and brushing lashes into place each morning.
