5 Ways to Improve Your Lash Extension Application

Are you struggling with your lash extension application? You're not alone! 

That's why we have compiled a list of our top 5 tips that will help you to improve your lash extension application:

Practice makes perfect! The more you practice, the better you'll get at applying lash extensions. We tell all of our new students that the most successful students are the ones who come out the gate strong in their curriculum. As a new artist, you should be booking in 3 clients or practice models per week (minimum) to keep up those skills you learned in class.

Experiment with different techniques and tools (shocker - it's not one size fits all for every artist) to find what works best for you and your clients!

You get what you pay for. High-quality lash extension products (*shameless plug - OURS*) can make a significant difference in the application process and the final outcome of your lash sets! Invest in quality products that are safe for your clients' eyes and provide a long-lasting hold. Our favourite products for this are Butter and Black CC Curl in 0.05s + 0.12's, Secret Identity Adhesive and Get a Grip Super Bonder. 

Proper isolation and separation are essential for a clean and natural-looking lash extension application. Take the time to isolate and separate each natural lash to ensure that the extensions are placed correctly. Make sure you're checking for lash stickes at the end of your set! This is so important for the health of your clients' natural lashes. 
Ps. Invest a great pair of isolation tweezers. Our fave? Get Bent Isolation Tweezer. 

Every client has different preferences and face shapes (and different natural lashes)! As a lash artist, it's important to complete a full consultation before every lash appointment! This way you can create customized lash extension styles to fit your client's preference. Consider the length, thickness, and curl type of the extensions to achieve the desired look! 

NEVER. STOP. LEARNING. (we're not actually shouting - we're just really passionate lol). As with any profession, ongoing education and training are critical for improving your skills and staying up-to-date with the latest techniques and trends. The lash industry is constantly changing! What we did 5 years ago probably no longer applies (like telling your client not to wash their lashes)! 
Attend training courses and workshops to continue learning and improving your lash extension application skills! Short on time or want to study on your own time? We have an online course for that! Volume Mastery will take your volume lash skills to the next level! 

By following these tips, you can improve your lash application skills and provide your clients with the best possible lash extensions!
