Brows and Lashes
Personalised care that works with your own brows and lashes: brow lamination, lash lift and brow shaping.
At Parla Deniz Beauty, our brow and lash services are personalised care that works with your own brows and lashes: brow lamination, lash lift and brow shaping. They take place at our beauty salon in Nişantaşı, and the aim is simple: a groomed, natural look that suits your face.
They are for anyone who would like to spend less time on brows and lashes in the morning, prefers to keep make-up light, or wants to feel ready before a special occasion. Each session is calm and unhurried, and we talk with you as we go. Think of it as a short break you set aside for yourself.
What we offer
- Brow lamination: Brow hairs are softened, brushed into the direction you want and set in place, where they stay for several weeks.
- Lash lift: Your natural lashes are given a gentle lift and curl from the root, and you may find you reach for mascara less often.
- Brow shaping: Stray hairs are removed to give your brows a shape that suits your features.
How a session works
Every session begins with a short chat. Together we look at the condition of your brows and lashes, what you would like, and any services you have had before.
Brow lamination
- Your brows are cleansed and any oil is removed.
- A softening product is applied to the hairs.
- The hairs are brushed into the shape we have agreed together.
- A setting product is applied to hold the shape.
- We finish with nourishing care.
Lash lift
- The eye area is gently cleansed.
- A silicone pad to suit your lash length is chosen and placed on the eyelid.
- Your lashes are brushed onto the pad one by one.
- Lifting and setting products are applied in turn.
- Your lashes are cleansed and finished with nourishing care.
Your eyes stay closed throughout. If anything feels uncomfortable, just tell us straight away.
Brow shaping is a shorter service, planned around your features and the natural line of your brows.
Timing and frequency
The times below are general ranges. They vary from person to person, depending on your brows and lashes and what you would like.
- Brow lamination and lash lift: A session takes about 45-60 minutes. The effect usually lasts 4-8 weeks; it varies from person to person, depending on the natural growth cycle of your hairs. To give your hairs a rest, we usually plan the next session no sooner than 6-8 weeks later.
- Brow shaping: We agree on the right interval with you, based on how quickly your brows grow.
We put together the plan that suits you at your first visit.
Preparation and aftercare
Patch test: If you have sensitive skin or a known allergy, please let us know before your appointment; we may recommend a patch test first.
Before your appointment:
- For a lash lift, please come without eye make-up. Your lashes should be free of mascara, eyeliner and any oily residue.
- If you wear contact lenses, you will need to take them out before the session, so do bring your case.
- For about a week beforehand, we suggest pausing retinol or acid-based products around the brows and eyes.
- If you have recently had your brows tinted or had any other service on them, let us know in advance, as the lamination may need to wait.
After the session:
- Keep water away from your brows and lashes for the first 24 hours, and avoid steam, saunas, swimming pools and heavy sweating.
- On the first day after a lash lift, try not to rub your eyes and, if you can, avoid sleeping face down.
- Give eye and brow make-up a break for the first 48 hours. After that, choose a water-based mascara for your lashes.
- In the days that follow, you can brush your brows gently and keep up the nourishing care we recommend. We will go through the advice that suits you at the end of your session.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will brow lamination damage my brows?
We choose products and timings to suit the condition of your brow hairs, and we keep to the recommended gap between sessions. If your brows look dry or brittle, we talk it through first and may suggest waiting. If you have sensitive skin or a known allergy, are pregnant or have any irritation around the eyes, please check with us before booking.
How long do brow lamination and a lash lift last?
Usually 4-8 weeks; it varies from person to person, depending on the natural growth cycle of your hairs and how you look after them afterwards.
Do I need a patch test?
If you have sensitive skin or a known allergy, please let us know before your appointment; we may recommend a patch test first. If you are only in Istanbul for a few days, mention this when you message us and we will talk you through the options.
Will a lash lift make my lashes fall out?
We choose products and timings to suit the condition of your lashes. Lashes renew themselves in a natural cycle, so losing a few each day is normal. If you notice any unusual change in your lashes, just message us.
When can I wash my face after the session?
We recommend keeping water and steam away from your brows and lashes for the first 24 hours. If you need to cleanse your face during that time, simply avoid the brow and eye area.
Can I wear mascara after a lash lift?
We suggest giving eye make-up a break for the first 48 hours. After that, a water-based mascara helps the curl hold for longer.
Can I have brow or lash services during pregnancy?
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please message us before booking and check with your doctor. We will decide together, without any rush, whether the service is right for you at this time.
