Lash Application Tips
As Lash Artists our application is the most important part of our lash sets. Over the years so many different techniques have been taught and as the industry evolves it's best to stay ahead of the trends.
Let me ask, "have you only ever done one course?" Have you been to conferences and heard international lash artists speak?"
So often on forums I see Lash Artists saying "I have tried about 20 glues and I haven't found one I love."
The better comment or question would be "am I doing something not quite right with my application?"
Even with students I have trained I occasionally see a time where an application needs to be adjusted. It's so easy to go from using too much glue to not enough glue.
Techniques to help with Retention - Tips
Things that are in!
- Foam wash every set prior to application
- Have a good bead of glue at your extension base for best application
- Using a Internationally Certified Medical Grade glue
- Make sure client's eyes are sealed shut during application
- Only extend natural lashes by 1-2mm max
- 0.12s for classics are a trend
- 0.03s & 0.05s for volume are our favs
- On average only doing refills every 3 weeks
- Create a healthy set with Curls rather than lengths
- Water rinse every set well on completion. Really flood the eye area!
Things that are out!
- Swiping the natural lash with glue
- Having no bead of glue for attachment
- Using tape instead of lash pads
- Weekly refills
- Using one length of lashes across the whole eye
- Applying really long lengths when the clients lashes are short
- Taping the clients eyelids up endangering the vapors going in the eye
- Using cheap glues off ebay, Amazon and the like, Your clients deserve better
- Telling clients to keep their eyes dry for 24 hours
I do hope these tips help and work for you in reality. We do need to use quality products but as Lash Artists we owe it to our clients to upskill regularly. Constantly learn and grow in your art. This way you will always provide your best work and in turn retain happy clientele. If our clients get awesome retention you will have a great business and become known in your area for it.
Happy Lashing everyone!
