3. EYELASH LIFT INTRODUCTIONIntroduction to Eyelash LiftFirstly, as the name suggests, it is literally ‘lifting of the eye lashes’This is a fantastic treatment which helps to emphasise the eyelashes, making theeyes look larger. Any length of lash can benefit from the shortest to the fullest andlongest.The lash lift takes approximately 45 mins to apply and can last for 6-8 weeks. Itssimilar to the eyelash perm but with much improved results. The lash lift systemuses a silicon shield (rather than old fashioned perm rods) and each natural lash islifted individually from the root giving the appearance of lift and volume to theeyelashes.The gentle lifting solution means that there is no risk of any long term side effectsto the lashes or their roots.It is a very safe treatment. The lashes remain lifted even when wet and will lashfor approximately 6-8 weeks.What happens during the treatment: Using a silicone shield and water solubleglue, the lashes are lifted and separated to help ensure a beautiful naturalappearance. Lifitng lotion is then applied to the lashes and left for up to 10minutes followed by the application of a neutraliser. This is then also left for upto 10 minutes. Finally, damp cotton wool is used to gently remove the shield, aconditioner is applied leaving you with beautiful enhanced lifted eyelashes.The Wiltshire School of Beauty and Holistic TherapyDiploma in Eyelash Lift Training Manual 5

Sterilising EquipmentMicro-organisms that may cause disease must be controlled through cleaning,disinfection or sterilisation.SanitationThis greatly reduces the number of pathogenic bacteria. It is the lowest form ofdecontamination and is safe to use on the skin. This process will remove soil,dust, dirt and organic matter along with a large proportion of micro-organismsfrom an object.Sanitation/cleaning is essential before disinfection or sterilisation of instrumentsand equipment. This process can be carried out by applying sanitising sprays,soaps and gels directly onto the skin and equipment.DisinfectionThis greatly reduces the pathogenic bacteria on work surfaces. This method isnot suitable for the skin, hair or nails.Disinfection is used on floors, any work surfaces/station, walls and bowls etc.This process does not remove bacteria spores.SterilisationThis process kills all living organisms; sterile, in this context, means free livingdisease-causing micro-organisms and their spores. This is a difficult process tomaintain but should be carried out on all tools, especially if they have been incontact with blood.Several ways to sterilise the equipment: UV lightAn enclosed steel cabinet that emits UV light when closed to kill off anybacteria AutoclaveThis works in a similar way to a pressure cooker by heating the waterunder pressure to a temperature of 100 C, which kills all germs, and is oneof the most efficient methods. BarbicideThis is a liquid used to soak instruments; ammonia can be used as theliquid within the barbicide.The Wiltshire School of Beauty and Holistic TherapyDiploma in Eyelash Lift Training Manual 10

Single Use Items Single use items are items that can potentially be contaminated with bloodor other bodily fluids and are items that cannot readily be cleaned ordisinfected. For example, waxing spatulas, orange sticks, cotton wool,disposable underwear and paper towels. Single use items must be disposed0f after each use.Waste Disposal Non-contaminated waste is waste not contaminated with blood or otherbodily fluids, e.g. cotton wool and paper towels, and should be placed in acovered bin with a liner. This should be removed every day, sealed anddisposed of with the normal rubbish. Contaminated waste (clinical waste) is waste that is soiled with blood orother bodily fluids, e.g. intimate wipes and disposable pants used forintimate waxing procedures. This must be disposed of in a separate closedbin lined with a yellow medical bin liner and collected by the Council orapproved registered collection service to be disposed of in controlledconditions. Sharps bin, e.g. micro-lances, often used for the removal of ingrowing hairs, are also classed as contaminated waste and must be placedin a yellow sharps bin that complies with BS7320 and UN3291 standardsand disposed of in the same way.HepatitisHepatitis means liver inflammation. Around half of all acute cases of hepatitisare due to a viral infection. Several kinds of hepatitis virus can infect the liver, themost common being Hepatitis A and B. Hepatitis A is caught through the contamination of food and water withfaeces (stools) through poor personal hygiene or sanitation. Hepatitis B is spread through the exchange of blood and body fluids, andcan be caught through unprotected sex, unsterilised needles, a needle stickinjury (accidental puncture of skin by a used needle) or contaminatedblood products. Hepatitis C is also spread through the exchange of blood or bloodproducts. It is spread through sharing needles and needle stick accidents.It can also spread by blood transfusions given before September 1992,when screening for Hepatitis C was introduced. There are four other recognised hepatitis viruses, named from Hepatitis Dto Hepatitis G.The Wiltshire School of Beauty and Holistic TherapyDiploma in Eyelash Lift Training Manual 12
Hepatitis A and E cause only acute infection; Hepatitis B and C cause chronic(ongoing) illness; Hepatitis D is only present in people infected with Hepatitis B.Hepatitis can be caused by the glandular fever virus.Vaccinations are available for Hepatitis A and B (singly or combined), and also asa combination of Hepatitis A and Typhoid.There is a small risk of contracting the Hepatitis B virus from sharingtoothbrushes, razors or towels that may be contaminated with blood.Unsafe tattooing and body piercing practices also risk potentially spreading thevirus.It is recommended that all therapists have a vaccination against Hepatitis B.The Wiltshire School of Beauty and Holistic TherapyDiploma in Eyelash Lift Training Manual 13
