NOT SUITABLE FOR:

• If a client has extremely damaged natural lashes, hybrid lashes may not be the best choice. The weight of the volume lashes combined with the classic lashes can strain delicate natural lashes and potentially cause damage. In such cases, the lash artist might recommend other lash styles, like classic or light volume, that are gentler on the natural lashes.

• Clients looking for a more natural look. Hybrid lashes tend to create a more dramatic effect compared to classic lashes alone. 

• Clients prefer a subtle and natural look (hybrid lashes may not be the most suitable option). Instead, the lash artist can recommend classic lashes, which provide a softer and more natural enhancement.

UNLOCKING THE PERFECT EYELASH EXTENSION STYLE FOR YOUR CLIENT: A LASH ARTIST'S GUIDE

When it comes to selecting the ideal eyelash extension style for your client, there are five crucial steps to consider. By following these steps, you can ensure that the chosen style not only suits their unique features but also enhances their natural beauty.

 

Step 1: Discover their Eye Shape

Begin by identifying your client's eye shape. Whether they have almond-shaped eyes, hooded lids, or monolids, understanding their eye shape will help you determine the most flattering lash design that accentuates their natural eye contours.

 

Step 2: Determine their Eye Size

Next, assess the size of their eyes. Are they big and expressive, or smaller and delicate? This step helps you gauge the appropriate lash length and volume to enhance the overall appearance of their eyes.

 

Step 3: Consider Eye Proportion

Consider the proportion of your client's eyes in relation to their face. Do they have closer-set eyes, wider-set eyes, or average spacing? By analyzing their eye proportion, you can select lash styles that create the illusion of balanced and harmonious facial features.

 

Step 4: Analyze Eye Structure

Evaluate the unique structure of your client's eyes. Do they have deep-set eyes, protruding eyes, or prominent eyelids? Understanding their eye structure enables you to choose lash designs that can bring out the best features of their eyes and create a captivating look.

 

Step 5: Study Lash Growth Direction

Lastly, observe the natural growth direction of their lashes. Are they straight, curved, or have a particular pattern? This step is crucial in determining the lash curl and direction that will seamlessly blend with their natural lashes, ensuring a flawless and cohesive lash extension application.

 

By following these five steps, you, as a skilled lash artist, can tailor the perfect lash style for each individual client. Remember, every person is unique, and embracing their distinctive features will result in a stunning and personalized eyelash extension look that will leave them feeling confident and beautiful.

 

BOTTOM LINE

As a lash artist, I understand the importance of choosing the right lash extension style that complements your client's unique features and personal style. Whether they prefer the timeless elegance of Classic lashes, the voluminous appeal of Russian Volume and Mega Volume lashes, the versatility of Hybrid lashes, or the whimsical charm of Anime lashes, there is a style that will make their eyes shine.
