How lift and tint work
The Eyelash Perm with Tint at Kays Threading professionally lifts and colors your natural lashes to create a longer-looking curl and deeper pigment. Results depend on natural lash length, thickness and the angle at the base; these anatomical factors shape how high the lift appears and how evenly the tint shows, so outcomes vary by client rather than being identical each time.
Combined, the lift and tint reduce daily maintenance by giving a natural curl and deeper color without mascara for many people. In Middle Village's climate with humid summers and cold winters, this low-maintenance finish is especially popular before summer travel; our busiest months are May, June and July when clients prefer waterproof, ready-to-go lashes for vacations and outdoor activities.
What to expect during visit
Your appointment begins with a short consultation to discuss the look you want, preferred curl shape and shade. The technician explains each step so you know what to expect and works to keep you comfortable throughout. Reviews note that clear communication and attention to sanitation are priorities, and clients often appreciate being talked through the process on their first visit.
Plan your visit around daily routines—many Middle Village clients book between school and commute times. Our location offers convenient access from Metropolitan Avenue and nearby bus corridors, making it straightforward for clients traveling from Glendale, Ridgewood, Maspeth and beyond. Because May through July are busiest, booking ahead during those months helps secure preferred times for summer events and travel.
Choosing the right look
Deciding on curl height and tint shade depends on your natural lashes and daily routine. Shorter lashes benefit from a stronger lift, while naturally long lashes may need a subtler bend to avoid an artificial look. Choose tint depth to match skin tone and make-up habits; clients praise results that feel natural and symmetrical when preferences are discussed during the consultation.
This service enhances your natural lashes rather than adding extensions, so it's a good choice for clients who want a maintenance-free daily look. Expect the tint to gradually fade and the curl to soften with natural lash growth cycles; occasional touch-ups are common for those who want consistently lifted, pigmented lashes. Discuss touch-up timing during consultation to match your schedule.
