A lash lift and lash extensions are two different techniques, and most lash artists will not apply both in the same visit. A lift uses a chemical solution to curl your natural lash from the root; extensions rely on adhesive to bond a synthetic fiber to that same lash. Layer them too close together and the leftover lift solution can weaken the extension bond before it ever sets. The two can still be combined — just not on the same day. At Aloha Beauty Lounge in South Jordan, a Lash Lift is $55, a Lift & Tint is $70, and extensions start at $99 for a Classic full set, $119 for Hybrid, $139 for Volume, or $199 for Mega Volume. If both are on your list, call and we will help you plan an order that fits your calendar.
"Can I get a lash lift and extensions at the same time?" is one of the more common questions lash clients across the Salt Lake Valley ask before booking, and it sounds simple and is not. The short version is no, not in one sitting, and the reason has nothing to do with upselling you into two appointments. It comes down to chemistry: one service changes the lash itself, and the other glues something to it. Here is what actually happens when you try to combine them, and how to plan the two so they both hold.
What a Lash Lift Actually Does
A lash lift is a chemical process. A silicone shield curls your natural lashes upward, then a setting solution locks that curl into the lash while it sits on the shield. The lash itself changes shape from the root, which is why a lift lasts six to eight weeks: you are reshaping keratin that is already growing, not adding anything to it. At Aloha Beauty Lounge, a Lift & Tint runs $70 and adds a tint on top of the curl for definition without mascara.
What Extensions Actually Do
Extensions work on the opposite principle. Nothing about your natural lash changes shape. A single synthetic fiber, or a small handmade fan of fibers, is bonded to one natural lash with adhesive. The strength of that bond depends entirely on a clean lash surface for the adhesive to grip. Anything left behind on the lash from an earlier chemical process gets in the way of that grip.
A lift changes the lash. Extensions bond to it. Ask either service to happen on top of the other too soon, and the bond is what gives.
Why the Order and the Gap Matter
Lift solution needs time to fully clear the lash after your appointment ends, even once your artist has rinsed and neutralized it. Extension adhesive cures fastest on a lash surface with nothing else on it, so applying a set right after a lift gives the glue a compromised surface to bond to. Sets applied too soon after a lift are the ones most likely to lose fibers within the first week. That is rarely a mistake by the artist. The lash underneath simply was not ready for adhesive yet.
The fix is simple: space the two services apart, with the lift done first. A day or two of gap gives the lash time to settle before adhesive meets it. Extensions can also be removed ahead of a lift on lashes that already carry a set, though that is a separate conversation with your artist about timing and the condition of your natural lashes underneath.
What Each Service Costs on Its Own
There is no combined-service price on the menu for a lift-plus-extensions visit at our South Jordan studio, because the two are booked and performed as separate appointments. Pricing for each stands on its own:
- Lash Lift: $55
- Lash Lift & Tint: $70
- Classic Lashes: $99 full set, $59 fill
- Hybrid Lashes: $119 full set, $69 fill
- Volume Lashes: $139 full set, $69 fill
- Mega Volume Lashes: $199 full set, $109 fill
Fills are due within two to three weeks on any extension set; a fourth week adds $20. Call (801) 909-8989 before you book either service if you want both, and we will talk through a schedule around your calendar rather than guessing at one here.
Who Actually Wants Both
One of the two is plenty for a lot of lash routines. Wanting both usually comes down to one of two goals. Some want a lift to keep their natural lash curled between extension fills, so the set looks lifted even as it grows out and thins toward the end of a cycle. Others are between sets entirely: extensions removed for a season, a lift booked to carry them through it, extensions picked back up later once they are ready to return to fills.
Either reason is a fair one to bring to a consultation, though neither one means booking the two back to back on a single afternoon. Utah's dry air, especially through a Salt Lake Valley winter, already asks more of lash adhesive as it cures, which is one more reason not to stack a chemical process on top of a bond that needs a clean, settled lash to hold.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a lash lift and lash extensions on the same day?
Generally, no. Lift solution needs time to fully clear the lash after your appointment, and extension adhesive bonds best to a clean, settled lash surface. Most lash artists book the two a day or two apart, with the lift first, rather than performing both in one visit.
Which should I get first, the lift or the extensions?
The lift comes first. It reshapes the natural lash from the root, and that process needs to finish settling before adhesive is introduced. Ask about spacing when you book if you want to plan both.
How much does a lash lift cost at Aloha Beauty Lounge?
A Lash Lift is $55. Add a tint for $70 total with the Lift & Tint service. Extensions are priced separately, starting at $99 for a Classic full set.
Will a lash lift damage my extensions?
A lift is not performed on lashes that already carry a full extension set, since the shield and solution are built for the natural lash. If you are wearing extensions and want a lift, that conversation starts with your artist, who can advise on removal and timing first.
How long does a lash lift last compared to extensions?
A lift typically holds six to eight weeks, following your natural lash growth cycle. Extensions need a fill every two to three weeks as natural lashes shed and take the attached fiber with them. The two are maintained on different schedules even when a client alternates between them.
Can I switch between lash lifts and extensions throughout the year?
Yes. Some clients wear extensions for a stretch, take a break, and book a lift to keep lashes curled in between. Others do the reverse. Either pattern works as long as there is a gap between a lift and a fresh set of extensions going on top of it.
