Eyelash extension is never easy. Consulting, design, cleaning, disinfection, grafting, maintenance….every detail is very important, every link seems to be quite simple, but do every simple well is not simple – details determine quality!
Today, Our Lash will talk about eyelash extension tips and tricks for beginners.
In order to protect the customer’s own eyelashes, increase the durability of eyelashes at the same time let the customer cannot leave you! Here are some details you should pay attention to!
Consultation: Observe the customer’s eye type to choose the appropriate shape, density, curl and length of eyelashes. Make choices based on the customer’s eye shapes and what they want to look like.
Design: We should make the design according to customers’ own conditions and needs. When customers hesitate to choose the style they want, we can judge rationally and give them appropriate suggestions according to specific circumstances instead of allowing customers to blindly pursue long, dense and warped.
Cleaning: If the customer comes with eye makeup, it is necessary to remove the customer’s makeup first, pay attention to the use of oil-free makeup remover products, such as makeup remover/cotton pads. After removing customer’s makeup, start cleaning lashes. When cleaning, dampen a cotton pad with eyelash cleanser and gently wipe oil and dust from the roots of lashes and skin.
Disinfection: Before formal operation, lash technicians should first disinfect hands with professional hand disinfectant, and then disinfect tools. During the disinfection process lash technician should let customer know so customers will feel you’re professional instead of getting tired of waiting.
Grafting: 1) Take proper amounts of glues are critical. If not enough areas contact with glues, easy to mess; if less glues, easy to crisp and short maintenance time;
2) Attach to proper position is also very important. If the connection is crooked, the finished set will be ugly; if the roots stick up, lash extensions will fall off fast and uncomfortable.
3) The false eyelashes should be adhered at a position 0.5-1mm away from the heel (ensure no contact with the customer’s skin, and clean the root of the eyelashes by sliding and micro-washing cotton swab).
Glue action: Don’t slide back and forth too much; apply glues evenly so that the effect is more lasting.
After-care details:
After-care details had been mentioned in many of our lash’s articles, it’s as important as the choice of eyelash technicians. So the details are listed again here so that lash technicians can reminder customers again and again.
- Do not touch water within 4-6 hours after grafting
- Avoid high-temperature environment/oily cosmetics, and avoid using mascara. Most mascara contains oily ingredients, which will indirectly affect the adhesion of glue.
- Avoid swimming within 3-5 days, running or do strenuous exercise, glue encountered more than 40 degrees will be easy to harden or brittle, resulting in rapid separation and fall off of true and false eyelashes.
- Teach customers to use “styling liquid” products every morning before makeup or going out, waterproof and oil-proof, effectively maintain the durability and shape of false eyelashes.
- Avoid rubbing eyes to avoid the damage of the true lashes fracture. When washing face and removing makeup, please clean around the eyes with fingertips and finger abdomen.
- As hair has a fixed growth cycle, eyelash extensions falling off is normal, so it is normal to lose less than 10 eyelashes in both eyes every day, and there will be relatively small eyelashes growing out, so inform this to customers in advance to let them do not worry too much.
- It is recommended that the customer make a repair every 2-3 weeks to keep the best status of eyelash extensions.
