We’ve honestly heard every lash lift horror story under the sun—lashes curled so tightly people have spent a week reassuring everyone they weren’t constantly surprised, or the poor souls who ended up looking like a startled hedgehog. 

And don’t even get us started on the salons where the technician is glued to their phone while your eyes are watering, glue is going rogue, and you’re left with that infamous burning sensation that just won’t quit. 

It’s enough to make anyone think twice about booking an appointment. So, after swapping enough of these tales to fill a group chat, our writing team rolled up our sleeves. We did the hard yards, and set out to find Wellington’s best lash lift salons. 

Whether you’re a lash lift veteran or just a little bit lash-curious, we’ve got your back with this list.

1. Lash Gallery Wellington 

Lash Gallery Wellington’s unique mobile service means you can indulge in a pampering session wherever you feel most comfortable—whether that’s at home, in your office, or even at your hotel. 

But because they are a mobile service, the time you want may not always be available due to their schedules.

Still, we love that they use the calming aroma of Seven Scents essential oils in all their lash sessions. They also play soothing music through noise-canceling headphones and even give you a comfortable weighted blanket. 

We also appreciate their commitment to ethical beauty. Every product used is vegan, and cruelty-free.

Their most popular treatment, their signature Yumi™ Lashes 2.0 Keratin Lash Lift, includes a complimentary tint for $129.  It takes an hour, but the results we’ve seen make that hour-long session worth it.

The lashes we’ve seen look longer and fuller. The best part is they stay that way maintenance-free for up to 10 weeks. 

Others also appreciate the free tint refresh at the four-week mark to keep your look fresh. 

For those on a tighter schedule, we recommend the Yumi™ Lash Tint + Keratin Treatment. It’s $40 and leaves you with darker, healthier lashes in just 20 minutes.

My lashes always look amazing

“I absolutely love my lash lift and tint every time I visit! Shannon is not only incredibly skilled but also has such great conversation that makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. My lashes always look amazing, fuller, and perfectly defined. I’ve loved them every single time I’ve gone, and I highly recommend Shannon. The best of the best! :)”

Absolutely loved my experience

“Shannon was fantastic! As someone that has never had a lash lift before I absolutely loved my experience. Shannon was super friendly and chatty. Shannon paid a lot of attention to detail and the end results are amazing! 100% rate Shannon!”

2. E Beauty 

For anyone wanting a lash lift that feels like a true escape, E Beauty is absolutely the place to go. Right on the beachfront, this boutique salon gives you a premium Lash Lift experience for $130—and in our opinion, it’s worth every penny. 

From the moment we stepped inside, we fell in love with the calming ocean views. The tranquil atmosphere made us feel like we were at a mini seaside retreat, not just a lash lift appointment.

The lash lift itself is both gentle and impressively effective. Natural lashes are permed and tinted to perfection, lasting up to 8 weeks. People rave about the instant boost of confidence they felt too.

One of our favorite touches is the thoughtful take-home lash care kit they give every client. We think shows their commitment to helping you maintain those gorgeous results between visits.

Sure, the price is a bit higher than some other salons, but we think the beach side experience alone and the results are totally worth it.

Love my lash lift and tint 

“Love my lash lift and tint from Erini, she takes the best care of you. Also had great chats about skincare during my appointment. She has so much knowledge to share! Thanks again.“

3. Nikki Rae Beauty

Nikki Rae Beauty nails the sweet spot between professional polish and low-maintenance glam with their lash lift (with tint), priced at $102–$112. 

In our experience, the treatment delivers beautifully lifted, tinted lashes that make you look instantly more awake and refreshed. We love how the results last a solid 6–8 weeks too.

One thing we really appreciate is the extra value they offer through their VIP list. It’s not just fluff—signing up gets you access to early course launches, exclusive freebies, discounts, and genuinely helpful insider tips. 

Whether you’re a regular client or a beauty professional, it makes you feel like you’re part of an in-the-know community. We think this really sets Nikki Rae Beauty apart from other salons. 

The space itself is also both modern and inviting, and the staff are consistently friendly and knowledgeable. Customers told us the staff’s warm, approachable attitude made their lash appointment more enjoyable. 

If we had to point out a downside, it would be their strict booking policy. You do need to pay a non-refundable fee upfront, and if you miss your appointment, you’ll be charged in full. 

Always makes sure my lashes look amazing

“I’ve been coming to Nikki Rae Beauty for lash lifts, and every visit has been perfect and consistent. Nikki’s service is excellent, and she always makes sure my lashes look amazing. I’m always impressed with the quality of her work. Highly recommend!”

• Patricia Lara Google Review 

Very gentle and precise

“I had a lash lift and tint done by Nikki yesterday and she was a gem! Very gentle and precise, with so much attention and care to my lashes. The space was also very comfortable and relaxing. I would absolutely recommend!”

• Amy Hefford-Thomsen, Google Reviews

4. The Hi Lash Lounge 

The Hi Lash Lounge may be in the heart of the city, but it’s a private, appointment-only sanctuary—perfect for lash lovers who crave both relaxation and real results.

What sets their lash lift apart is the level of care and precision involved. It isn’t just a service, but a meticulously executed, three-step ritual. Every detail is handled with professional-grade products, so you know your lashes are in the best hands.

The process begins with a thorough cleanse, followed by gentle shaping of lashes onto a silicone rod. The application of lifting and setting solutions is done with precision and attention to comfort too.

Clients consistently mentioned feeling pampered throughout the process, and the results definitely back that up. The lashes we’ve seen all looked amazing—effortlessly natural and never heavy or artificial.

The only downside? Their deposit policy can be a bit of a sticking point if your schedule tends to change. Some customers wish there was a little more flexibility, especially for those who need to reschedule at the last minute.

My eyelash lift looks amazing

“I had a lash lift & tint with Kristy. My first time going here and I had a great experience. Kristy was so lovely and professional! My eyelash lift looks amazing, super happy with the results. Highly recommend this little spot in the middle of town 👌🏼 I’ll be back ❤️“

• Julia Lamb, Google Reviews

My lashes are 10 days in to daily swims, hot weather and SPF, and they’re still looking amazing

“I had my first ever lash lift and tint with Kristy one Sunday morning. She had the most amazing energy and talked me through every step. An obvious expert! My lashes are 10 days in to daily swims, hot weather and SPF, and they’re still looking amazing. I got the treatment so I didn’t need to put on make up. So far I haven’t reached for the mascara wand. Amazing work. Thank you so much xo”

5. Enhance Beauty Salon 

We think Enhance Beauty Salon is a fantastic option for anyone who wants beautiful, low-maintenance lashes at a price that’s hard to beat. 

Their lash lift and tint combo is just $88, which we think is a steal for the results you get—that instant refreshed look everyone loves. 

We also have to mention how pleasant the salon itself is. The space is always clean and inviting, and we’ve found the staff to be exceptionally friendly and attentive. 

We like that they go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable and know exactly what to expect. 

Of course, no place is perfect, and Enhance Beauty Salon does have a pretty strict cancellation policy. If you miss your appointment or try to reschedule with less than 24 hours’ notice, you will be charged up to the full cost of your treatment. 

We get why they have this rule, but it does mean you need to be confident about your schedule before booking. 

Amazing lash lift and tint

“Amazing lash lift and tint. Such a professional and relaxing experience. At previous salon I’ve found it uncomfortable or it stings, but at Enhance it was so relaxing and comfortable. 😍“
