Lash lifts have become a go-to service for clients who want a natural-looking curl without extensions. But if you’ve been exploring professional training or new services to offer, you’ve probably noticed there are two main chemical systems used: Cysteamine and TGA lash lifts. 

The lash industry is evolving faster than ever, and 2026 is shaping up to be a year where artistry, technology, and natural beauty merge in exciting new ways. Whether you’re a lash artist, salon owner, or beauty lover, understanding the upcoming trends will help you to stay one step ahead of the curve.

If you’ve ever wondered why some clients keep their gorgeous lash extensions for weeks while others start shedding in days, the answer almost always comes down to retention. Good retention isn’t magic—it’s a combination of proper technique, high-quality products, and consistent aftercare.
