The goal here is to ensure your clients are taken care of and can return for future services knowing that you have their best interest in mind. So remember, communication is vital; never be afraid to ask your clients questions to make them feel more comfortable and confident during the service. That way, your experience as a lash artist will become more rewarding, while your client's personal experience will be positively impacted.
1. HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR BOTTOM LASHES DOWN?
THE PROBLEM:
Anchoring bottom lashes, whether with lash tape, gel patches, or another way, is one of the most crucial aspects of lash service safety.
THE SOLUTION:
If the lashes become unanchored, it's essential to stop your process to anchor them back down. Turn on a fan to ensure that your client's eyelashes are completely dry, as you may need them to open their eyes. Don't try to reuse what's not working. Please proceed with your lash service after replacing it with a new secure attachment.

2. HOW DO YOU UNSTICK EYELASH EXTENSIONS FROM BOTTOM LASHES?
THE PROBLEM:
You may see a lash sticking to the bottom of the lashes at the end of a lash session. It can happen even if you were very careful during setup. One of the main reasons is the extension isn't being placed right.
THE SOLUTION:
Make sure the root of the extensions is placed right on the top of the root of the natural eyelash, and make sure it's glued right. It can also happen if the extension has grown out.
To unstick, gently pull eyelashes apart. They should separate most of the time. If not, gently separate the lashes with the client's eyes closed. Take a deep breath and move slowly. There is no need to rush. Your positive energy will also help the client relax.

3. HOW TO FIX TWISTED EYELASH EXTENSIONS?
THE PROBLEM:
It's most likely due to a lack of isolation. Isolation is one of the most challenging skills to learn when you first start, so it's no surprise that this is a typical issue. Before moving on to advanced techniques, inexperienced lash techs should understand essential isolation.
THE SOLUTION:
It is a prior lash artist's error, not the client's. If the eyelash extensions are becoming tangled, you'll probably want to scale back their length. It's always better to start over! You'll probably want to start over after removing all of the knotted and twisted lashes.
Remember to isolate properly, so multiple lashes don't become adhered. Use the 90-degree angle rule when it's time to restyle the lashes—placed at a 90-degree angle. Focus on securing the eyelash extension to the lash's base. Remember, you don't always have to follow the growth pattern of the natural lash. Sometimes natural lashes can grow in different directions.
Working back and forth between the eyes will allow the lash adhesive to set. It will prevent eyelashes from sticking together as you sift through, looking for natural lashes around the area you just lashed.

4. EYELASH EXTENSION ALLERGIC REACTION REMEDIES
THE PROBLEM:
Irritation or allergies! It's critical to pinpoint the source of the problem. Once the allergen is removed, the redness and swelling caused by the allergy will disappear. A variety of factors can cause a client to develop an allergy. If an allergy develops within the first 24-48 hours, it's usually due to an allergic reaction to the adhesive.
THE SOLUTION:
Although a lash artist is not a doctor, you could advise the client to take Benadryl or apply a warm compress to reduce swelling.
If you attempt to remove the lashes while the client is experiencing redness and swelling, the chemical removal solution may irritate the client further, causing further harm.

5. HOW TO FIX BAD EYELASH EXTENSIONS?
THE PROBLEM:
A client's natural lashes may be damaged for a variety of causes. If they've previously had lash extensions, it's possible that the lash artist overstressed the lash line by utilizing the wrong size or thickness of extension.
THE SOLUTION:
The key to having beautiful lash extensions has a solid base. If your client's natural lashes aren't healthy, eyelash extensions are unlikely to work. You can use lash growth serum for your clients and retail it to your clients. It's a win-win situation for everyone. You'll be able to sell things to your clients, and they will have beautiful, healthy lashes after.

6. WHY ARE MY CLIENT'S LASHES NOT LASTING?
THE PROBLEM:
When it comes to an understanding ourselves and our behaviors clearly, it frequently takes someone watching us go through our routines to pinpoint the root of the problem. Nothing beats investing in quality education and a mentor to resolve this problem. One of the main reasons for this is you are using the incorrect adhesive for your speed and environment.
THE SOLUTION:
If the adhesive dries too quickly, it will set before a proper bond can form with the client's natural lash, which means poor retention.
When the lash is off balance or not attached solidly at the bottom, I recommend peeling it off the natural hair and trying again. Do not try to add adhesive or another lash to make it better because this is unsafe. Gel remover should only be the last option to avoid getting remover all over your lashes.

CONCLUSION
The best way to get better at eyelash extensions is to practice. Like anything else, you need to do the work, whether reading many books, watching online tutorials, or taking some courses. Get as much hands-on experience as you can
I believe every lash artist should just practice, practice, practice. This will give you the best chance at perfection and not ripping the client's eyelashes. If you find yourself particularly struggling one month, distance yourself from the business for a week or two and dive into your research.
