How do I get permanent eyelash curling?

Permanent eyelash curling is performed in a beauty salon. A beautician applies a gel to the eyebrows which contains chemicals which are used to curl the eyelashes.

There are currently no national standards for beauty salons, and anyone can legally start a salon in most parts of the country. However, many salons have voluntarily joined professional organisations that maintain registers of beauticians who have a minimum level of educational qualifications to be able to provide safe and hygienic treatment.

You can search for salons on the British Association of Beauty Therapy & Cosmetology (BABTAC) database, or look whether the salon advertises membership of professional organisations such as the Health and Beauty Industry Authority or the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses.

Are there other options?

More temporary alternatives to permanent eyelash curling are using an eyelash curler or curled false eyelashes.
