NOT APPLYING THE APPROPRIATE LASH LENGTH

There are many reasons why your client may not be satisfied with their volume eyelash extensions. One of the most common mistakes is when an artist uses the same length throughout their client's eyes. This creates a very unnatural look as it can be seen from a mile away!

The size of your client's natural lashes will determine the length of the extensions you apply. For example, if you're working with someone with short lashes, you might want to go for a longer lash length and vice versa.

Choosing the right lash length is essential to avoid damaging the client's natural lashes. The common rule is to go 2-3 mm from the client's natural lashes. 

Furthermore, you should map out the client's lashes to ensure a smooth transition between all lengths. Using the same size throughout the eye is one of the most common blunders lash artists make.

To get an excellent symmetrical and complementary mapping, you must use a variety of lengths.

It's also important to consider your client's eye shape when choosing the right lash length. For example, if your client has deep-set eyes, you may want to go a little longer than usual as you want them to sit on top of their eye socket instead of sitting just below it.

Another thing that you need to be aware of is whether or not your client prefers a more natural or fuller look. If they like something more natural, you may want to use shorter lashes, but if they like something fuller, go longer!

PROBLEM WITH LASH ADHESIVE

Well-done lashes are a pleasure to look at, but what if they become a problem for your clients?

Issues with lash adhesive can be costly and time-consuming for both the client and the business. It's one of the top reasons why clients discontinue their lash services.

The first thing we need to do is choose the suitable glue for our clients. Many types of lash glues exist, but not all of them work well with every client. Lash adhesive's primary function is bonding extensions to the natural lash. However, lash technicians use many different glue types, each with unique features and benefits. In addition, the adhesive must be explicitly applied to ensure proper bonding occurs between extensions and natural lashes.

Understanding how the lash adhesive works and what causes this reaction in the client's eyes is essential. The most common problems associated with using lash adhesives include:

• Eyelid irritation

• Allergic reaction (contact dermatitis)

• Eyelash loss

 

Use the right amount of glue for each client's application needs. There are several ways to apply glue to lashes. The adhesive can irritate and burn the client's eyes if used incorrectly. This can result in boxy bases (when too much glue comes into contact with skin) and poor retention for your client's lashes.

The amount of lash adhesive used is an essential factor in the success of a service. Too little adhesive can lead to premature detachment, while too much will make it challenging to apply fans and may result in smearing.

Lashes, Disposable Eye Lash Brush and Optite Low Humidity Adhesive,  are used in this set. To shop, please click here.

 

A good rule of thumb for lashing is to apply as much adhesive as necessary for each fan, but no more than that.

A good lash technician knows that their adhesive is just as important as their technique. After all, it's what keeps the lashes on! Little is more important than a quality product when it comes to lash adhesive. The adhesive must be strong enough to hold the lashes in place but flexible enough not to cause irritation or pain for your client.

INCORRECT LASH PLACEMENT 

Poor lash placement is one of the biggest reasons for poor retention.

When clients come in for a volume full set or lash fill, they expect to have the same flawless lashes they had when they left the salon. But that isn't always the case. Poor lash placement is a common mistake in any lash service because it's hard to see the difference between natural lashes and extensions.

For volume lashing, placement is critical. A significant reason for poor lash retention is incorrectly placing volume fans too close to the lash or too far away from the natural lash. If you place the fan too close to the natural lash, it will pull on it and cause damage. If you place it too far away, there won't be enough support for the fan, and it will fall out easily. A common mistake is not ensuring space between each fan so that they do not overlap each other while being placed on top of each other.

There are two main reasons why poor lash placement occurs:

1. Improper application technique: If you don't apply the extension properly, it will fall out. You may be using too much or not enough glue, which can cause lashes to fall off after a few days. Also, if your client has naturally sparse lashes, adding extra fans isn't make them look any fuller.

2. Incorrectly placing volume fans too close to the lash or too far away from the natural lash. You must be very careful when placing fans at different lengths, so they are balanced across the entire lash line instead of focusing on one eye or area at a time. Lashes need to be placed in the right spot for optimal retention.

 

Why does this happen? It's a combination of poor placement and poor product selection.

Poor lash placement can cause irritation, pain, and even infection if the glue gets into the client's eyes. It can also cause an uneven application of lashes. The other reason for poor lash placement is lack of experience. I recommend watching YouTube videos or taking an online course to learn the basics of volume lash application.

It's easy to get nervous and make mistakes when you're just starting, but with practice, it will become second nature.

Poor lash placement can also be caused by the insufficient time to apply your lashes. This happens when you rush through your appointments or don't have enough time between clients to clean up your workstation before the next client comes in.

Make sure the lashes are close to the lash line and how to double-check that the bases are flush with the natural lash. This results in a neat lash line and guarantees that the lashes are securely attached.

For example, if they're placed too far into the eye socket and close to the eyelid, they can be uncomfortable and irritate. If they're placed too far out on the lids and aren't flush with your natural lashes, they'll look fake and unnatural.

If you notice that some of your fans are falling out after only a few days, there's a good chance that they were applied incorrectly.

OVERFILLED LASH LINE

The solution is simple. Give your clients just enough lashes for their eyes to look great without weighing them down or making them look unnatural. Volume eyelash extensions should be applied evenly across the entire length of the lash line.

The key to applying lash extensions is to ensure that each one is neat and straight on the eye. If any of your clients find their lashes crisscrossed, asymmetrical, or going in different directions, they may be suffering from over-twisting and flipping lashes.

The lash line is an important part of a client's eyelashes look. If you are applying lash extensions and creating a new look for your clients, you want to make sure that their lash line looks flawless and beautiful.

The most important thing to remember when applying lashes is that you should never rush. If you're in a hurry, your results will show it. The volume fans are not created correctly and can result in a messy, unprofessional look. When you're working with lash extensions, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. There are so many steps and techniques that are required to create beautiful lashes. The last thing you want is for your fans to look messy.

If you feel your fans are messy or too heavy, it's likely because you're rushing through the application process. Taking your time will help ensure that your lashes are applied evenly, which will result in more natural-looking fans. Rushing also means that there's less time for the adhesive to set correctly, which can cause the lashes not to stick.

CONCLUSION

The lash industry is booming, and the demand for lash extensions has increased significantly. But it's not just about creating a beautiful set of lashes. You need to know some essential things before working on your client's lashes.

The first thing is that you should be able to recognize if your client has the potential for lash extensions or not. Looking at their natural lashes is the best way to do this. It will not work out well for them if they have thin, short, or sparse lashes, especially if they want light volume or mega volume eyelash extensions. You should also check if they have sensitive eyes or allergies because this may affect how long their lashes can stay on their face without causing any discomfort or irritation.
