Across Metro Manila’s private studios, a single lash lift with tint typically runs somewhere between ₱1,500 and ₱4,000, with most quotes landing closer to ₱2,000–₱3,000 depending on product quality and the artist doing the work.
That’s a wide band for what looks like the same 90 minutes on a booking page. The gap is real, and it’s worth understanding before you choose a studio on price alone. A lash lift is a chemical process applied a few millimeters from your eyes, and “cheaper” and “faster” often turn out to mean the same thing.
A few factors explain most of the spread you’ll see between studios in Makati, BGC, Mandaluyong, and everywhere in between.
Studio tier and location. A private, appointment-only studio inside a residential building carries different overhead than a mall kiosk or a walk-in salon fitting lash work between blowouts. Rent shapes price. It doesn’t automatically buy skill; it buys the studio’s ability to take fewer clients per day.
Product quality. Keratin lifting solutions range from professional-grade kits built for a controlled processing window to bargain versions that cut corners on the chemistry. The solution affects both how well the curl holds and how forgiving the timing is on your natural lashes.
Artist training and experience. Reading lash health, matching rod size to your natural lash length, and timing the lift and neutralizing steps correctly takes practice. An artist who has done hundreds of these adjusts on the spot; someone newer is more likely to follow a fixed timer regardless of what your lashes need that day.
What’s bundled in. Some studios quote a base price for the lift alone, then add tint, aftercare serum, or a numbing step as line items at checkout. Others build all of it into one number, so two studios “charging the same price” can mean very different totals once you’re at the counter.
Add-ons. Lash vitamin treatments, express single-lash focus, or combo lift-and-brow bookings all shift the final number. None of them are the base lash lift itself, so it’s worth separating the core price from the add-on menu when you compare studios.
At MIRA Lash Studios, the Lash Lift + Tint is ₱2,800 for a 90-minute appointment, and that single number is the whole invoice. It covers a consult on your eye shape and natural lash length, the keratin lift and neutralizing steps, the tint itself, and aftercare guidance before you leave. There’s no separate tint fee, no aftercare upsell, and no surprise line item waiting at checkout. The studio is private and appointment-only, inside Acqua Private Residences in Mandaluyong, with one client booked at a time rather than a queue of chairs running in parallel. Full pricing and appointment details for the Lash Lift + Tint service are on the services page. If you already know it’s the right fit, you can book a lash lift appointment directly, or reach the studio by email at miralashmanila@gmail.com or on Instagram at @miralashstudios with questions about your specific lashes first.
Brow lamination, tint, and shaping sit outside this number entirely. Those are quoted per person after a free consult, since brow work depends on your existing shape and density in a way a lash lift doesn’t.
Not automatically, and this is where price comparisons get people into trouble. A keratin lift runs on a timed chemical process, and leaving the solution on too long or rushing the neutralizing step can leave lashes over-processed: brittle, uneven, or shedding faster than they should. A studio charging less per appointment isn’t necessarily doing anything wrong, but a studio that’s booked four clients into the same 90 minutes you were quoted almost certainly is cutting the part of the process that protects your lashes.

The honest way to compare two quotes is to ask what’s included, then ask how long the appointment actually runs. A ₱1,500 lift squeezed into 45 minutes and a ₱2,800 lift given the full 90 aren’t the same service at two prices. They’re two different levels of care applied a few millimeters from your eyes, and only one of them is priced to match the time the process actually needs.

Answered the same way you'd hear it in the chair.
Not automatically, but it's worth asking why the price is lower before you book on price alone. Sometimes it's just lower overhead. Other times it means a bargain-grade solution, an artist still building experience, or an appointment squeezed into less time than the process needs. Ask what the price includes and how long you're booked for, not just the number itself.
At MIRA, no — the ₱2,800 rate already bundles the tint into the same 90-minute appointment as the lift, so nothing extra gets added at checkout. That's not universal across Metro Manila, though. Some studios quote the lift and tint as two separate line items, so it's worth confirming which model a studio uses before you book.
At MIRA, the ₱2,800 rate stays the same regardless of your natural lash length or density. Longer or shorter lashes change which rod size the artist reaches for during the consult, not the price on the invoice. If a studio quotes a range instead of a flat rate, ask whether length is the reason.
Mostly business model. A private, one-client-at-a-time studio prices differently than a high-volume salon running several chairs at once, and neither structure is automatically better. Add in differences in product grade and how many years an artist has been doing lifts, and the same-looking service can land anywhere from roughly ₱1,500 to ₱4,000.
Paying more doesn't guarantee a better result on its own — you can still find an overpriced studio with a rushed process. But paying very little for an appointment that's been shortened to fit more bookings in a day is a specific, avoidable risk this close to your eyes. Price is one signal among several, not the whole decision.
One number for the whole appointment: a consult on your eye shape and lash health, the lift and neutralizing steps, the tint, and aftercare guidance before you leave. Nothing is itemized separately, and nothing gets suggested as an add-on at checkout unless you ask about one yourself.
It's reasonable for it to. A lash lift depends on timed chemical steps, and an artist who books 90 minutes has room to assess your lashes properly instead of following a fixed timer regardless of condition. A lower price attached to a shorter slot usually means less of that assessment happened, not that you found a deal.
