How much does a lash lift cost in Vancouver?

At Prép Beauty Parlour in downtown Vancouver, a lash lift starts at $125 for the InLei Lash Filler® treatment or $150 for the YUMI Keratin Lash Lift — both include a lash tint. Prices vary by treatment type and add-ons like brow lamination.

How long does a lash lift last?

A lash lift typically lasts 8–12 weeks depending on your natural lash cycle, lifestyle, and aftercare. YUMI lasts slightly longer (8–12 weeks) than InLei (6–8 weeks). We recommend waiting at least 8 weeks between treatments.

What's the difference between a lash lift and lash extensions?

A lash lift curls and lifts your own natural lashes — nothing is glued on. It's lower maintenance, lasts 8–12 weeks, and looks completely natural. Lash extensions add synthetic lashes to your own, creating more length and volume. Both are available at Prép Beauty Parlour on Burrard St in downtown Vancouver.

What is YUMI lash lift?

YUMI is a French keratin lash lift system that lifts, curls, and conditions your natural lashes using a keratin-infused formula. It's one of the most premium lash lift brands in the world and is popular for its natural-looking results and conditioning benefits. All lash artists at Prép Beauty Parlour are YUMI certified.

Where can I get a lash lift in downtown Vancouver?

Prép Beauty Parlour at 1305 Burrard St offers both YUMI and InLei lash lifts in downtown Vancouver. We're steps from Burrard SkyTrain Station and walkable from the West End, Yaletown, and Davie Village. Book online through Fresha.

Yes. Both YUMI and InLei are formulated without harsh chemicals like formaldehyde or parabens. The treatments nourish your lashes while lifting them. If you have very sensitive eyes or skin conditions, mention it when booking and we'll take extra precautions.

Do you offer a lash lift and brow lamination together?

Yes — the YUMI Lash Lift + Brow Tint & Lamination package at Prép Beauty Parlour is $225 and takes about 80–90 minutes. It's a popular combo for a full eye refresh in one appointment.

Can I wear mascara after a lash lift?

You can — but most clients don't need to. The tint included with your lash lift darkens your lashes, so mascara is optional. Avoid waterproof mascara as it can reduce the life of your lift.

YUMI vs. InLei Lash Lift: Which One Is Right for You?

If you've been researching lash lifts in Vancouver, you've probably come across two names more than any other: YUMI Keratin and InLei Lash Filler®. Both are premium lash lift systems. Both are popular in top studios around the world. And at Prép Beauty Parlour on Burrard Street, we offer both — which means we get this question from clients every single day.

So here's an honest breakdown of YUMI vs. InLei: what each system does, who it works best for, and how to decide which one belongs on your lashes.

What Is a Lash Lift?

Before we compare, a quick recap. A lash lift is a semi-permanent treatment that curls your natural lashes from the root using a chemical lifting process — no glue, no extensions, no daily curling required. The result is visibly longer-looking, wide-open lashes that last weeks without any maintenance.

A lash tint is almost always added at the end to darken and define your lashes, removing the need for mascara.

YUMI Keratin Lash Lift: The Gold Standard

Origin: France

Formula: Keratin-infused lifting system

Duration: 75 minutes

Lasts: 8–12 weeks

YUMI is widely considered the gold standard of lash lifts. Developed in France, the YUMI system uses a keratin-enriched formula that doesn't just lift your lashes — it simultaneously conditions and strengthens them. Many clients notice their lashes feel healthier after YUMI than before the appointment.

YUMI works on all lash types, but it's especially effective on:

Straight or downward-pointing lashes that need maximum lift
Lashes that are naturally long but lack visible curl
Clients who want the most dramatic, long-lasting result

At Prép, every lash artist is YUMI certified. If you want to learn more about the YUMI system specifically, we have a dedicated resource at yumilashliftvancouver.ca.

InLei Lash Filler®: The Gentle Alternative

Origin: Italy

Formula: Filler + conditioning complex

Duration: 75 minutes

Lasts: 6–8 weeks

InLei Lash Filler® is made in Italy and takes a different approach: rather than just lifting, the filler formula adds volume and nourishment to each lash as it works. Think of it as a lifting treatment and a conditioning treatment in one.

InLei is the better choice for:

Fine, fragile, or over-processed lashes
Clients with sensitive eyes or skin
Anyone who's had a lash lift before and found it slightly drying
Lashes that need gentle encouragement rather than a dramatic lift

The result with InLei is a softer, more natural curl — still beautifully lifted, but with a gentle, fanned-out finish rather than the high-impact lift of YUMI.

YUMI vs. InLei: Side by Side

YUMI Keratin: French origin · Keratin-infused formula · Best for all lash types · High-impact, dramatic lift · Lasts 8–12 weeks · $150 at Prép

InLei Lash Filler®: Italian origin · Filler + conditioning formula · Best for fine/fragile lashes · Soft, natural lift · Lasts 6–8 weeks · $125 at Prép

Which Should You Choose?

Choose YUMI if: You want the strongest lift, the longest-lasting result, and your lashes are in good condition. YUMI is our most popular treatment for a reason.

Choose InLei if: Your lashes are on the finer or more fragile side, you have sensitive eyes, or you want a softer, more natural-looking curl.

Not sure? That's what the consultation at the start of every appointment is for. Your lash artist will assess your lashes and help you pick the right system — no pressure, no upsell.
