Reasons for lash removal

It looks good on you and what could be the reason for a client to have a lash removed?

• The lash extension might sit there for a long time and is needed for the natural lashes to have rest or because your client may simply want a new set of eyelash extensions. 

• Another good reason may be that the client had her eyelash extension done elsewhere and later to find out she was not satisfied with the set that she got. 

• Some clients can get lash extensions and later on develop an allergy or sensitivity to eyelash extensions. This can occur because of the glue, because of the main ingredient called carbon black. In this case, the client needs to have an immediate removal or it may cause serious damage to the client's natural lashes or worst to the eyes of the client. Unfortunately, in most cases, clients will no longer be able to wear extensions after they have had an allergic reaction to the lash adhesive.

• Being able to perform a lash removal without damaging your client’s natural lashes, and within the client’s comfort is vital. You need to have the proper products in order to achieve successful removal of those eyelash extensions.

Is it safe to remove lashes at home?

This I would not recommend to any of my clients, yes there will be a lot of DIY on YouTube that they are suggesting for clients to use. This can harm your natural lashes and can get into the eye, which can cause stinging and discomfort.

There are no over-the-counter products that can remove lash extensions that were applied professionally either.  As eyelash extension is applied strand by strand. Pulling your lashes is also a no-no and we always advise our clients not to do this. This is harmful to your natural lashes and can cause the client to have bald spots on the lash line.

Instead of DIY-ing, you better go to someone who is a professional in doing lash extensions as well as removals.  

There's a specially designated product to be used to do this and it'll be safe and easy if done correctly by your lash artist.
