02 Material of tweezers
At present, there are 4 kinds: stainless steel, titanium, alloy and carbon (iron)
By weight: iron > alloy > stainless steel > titanium
What sell on current market is stainless steel tweezers and titanium tweezers, alloy and carbon tweezers are less.
Titanium has good skin affinity and anti – sensitivity effect. The cost of the tweezers is lower than that of stainless steel, but they have an anti-sensitivity effect, so the price will be higher than that of stainless steel tweezers.
03 How to choose appropriate tweezers?
Choosing the right pair of tweezers can be tricky. You should consider the shape, length of the handle, edge and softness of the handle.
When these elements can be satisfied, it is a pair of tweezers suitable for you.
1) Tip
[edge]
: the longer the tip of the tweezers is, the easier it is to separate hairs.
2) Top: it is used to check the thickness of the tip of the eyelash. The thin tweezers can easily see the eyelash when operating.
3) Handle
[elastic]
: the strength of the elastic force of the handle is very important. Choose a narrow one, so that you don’t need to spend extra energy.
4) Tweezers handle: the length of the two handles should be purchased according to the size of the hand of the lash artist. Tweezers with shorter handle should be purchased if the hand is smaller.
Larger hands should buy tweezers with slightly longer handles.
5) Edge
[gap]
: the distance between the two edges determines the strength of the elasticity. You should choose tweezers that are easy to open and close and feel soft.
6) Weight: the weight of the whole tweezers should be light, without extra effort.
04 The basics of tweezers
If the tweezers are held incorrectly, extra effort is put into the customer’s forehead and the tweezers.
Also, a dangerous way to hold tweezers can cause a major accident.
There are pain points, temperature points, cold points, pressure points, and other sensory organs in the skin, and the number of them varies from place to place.
So if you’re using tweezers with just a little bit of force, your skin can feel it.
When grafting eyelashes, the correct way to take tweezers:
- Open your hand, hold it in the handle of the tweezers, bend your fingers and exert a slight force. Your hand should be placed in the middle of the customer’s forehead, but should not touch the customer’s forehead.
If the finger joint of the lash artist touches the customer’s forehead, it will make the customer very uncomfortable.
3) When eyelashes are grafted, the elbow should be placed on the bed (pillow) of the eyelash. The eyelash artist should not put her hand on the forehead of the customer, which will give the customer an uncomfortable feeling.
When the elbow of the lash artist has a point of strength on the pillow of the bed, it is not easy to shake when taking tweezers.
In addition, the armpit can also be clamped to stabilize the balance, can be more stable operation.
“It is very important for a lash artist to learn how to choose the right tweezers, which will affect your operation speed and efficiency. Fast and efficient can not only get good comments from customers, but also receive more and more customers in the same time and make more achievements.
