1. Lash Extensions

The foundation of every lash artist's kit is the lash extensions themselves. These come in different lengths, curls, and thicknesses to suit every client’s desired look.

• Lengths: Lash extensions typically range from 7mm to 20mm. Having a variety ensures you can create both natural and dramatic sets.

• Curls: The most common curls are C, D, and J. C curl gives a natural lift, D curl is more dramatic, and J curl offers a subtle curve.

• Thickness: Lash extensions come in a range of thicknesses, from 0.03mm to 0.20mm. Thinner extensions are used for volume sets, while thicker ones are ideal for classic sets.

2. Lash Adhesive

Lash glue, or adhesive, is one of the most important lash extension supplies in your kit. It ensures the extensions bond securely to the natural lashes.

• Drying Time: Fast-drying glue (1-2 seconds) is great for experienced artists, while slower-drying adhesive (3-5 seconds) is more forgiving for beginners.

• Retention: Good quality lash adhesive should offer strong retention, keeping the lashes intact for 4-6 weeks.

• Sensitive Formulas: If your clients have sensitive eyes, use a hypoallergenic adhesive to avoid irritation.

3. Tweezers

A reliable set of tweezers is a must-have tool for any lash artist. You'll need different types of tweezers for applying and isolating lash extensions.

• Isolation Tweezers: These are thin, straight tweezers used to isolate the natural lashes, preventing them from sticking together.

• Volume Tweezers: Designed to pick up and fan multiple lash extensions at once, these tweezers are perfect for creating volume sets.

4. Under-Eye Pads and Lash Tape

Protecting your client’s lower lashes and skin is essential during the lash application process. That’s where under-eye pads and lash tape come in.

• Under-Eye Pads: These gel pads cover the lower lashes and provide a cooling, comfortable experience for your client.

• Lash Tape: Used to secure the lower lashes or lift the eyelid slightly, lash tape is an important tool for keeping lashes in place while you work.

5. Spoolie Brushes

Spoolies, also known as lash wands, are used to brush through the extensions before, during, and after application. This ensures the lashes are perfectly separated and fluffed.

• Disposable Spoolies: Always use a new, clean spoolie for each client to maintain hygiene. You can also give them to clients for at-home care.

• Reusable Lash Wands: Great for clients to use at home to keep their extensions neat.

Volume Lashes mix curls D, CC, and C, Velour Lash Adhesive, Disposable Eye Lash Brushes, and Hydro-gel Under Eye Patches are used in this set. To shop, please click here.

 

6. Lash Extension Primer

Lash primer is an often overlooked but important lash supply. It preps the natural lashes by removing any oils, makeup residue, or dirt.

• Why You Need It: A good lash primer improves the adhesive bond, helping the extensions last longer. It ensures the lashes are clean and ready for the best retention possible.

Incredible Retention Primer and Hydro-gel Under Eye Patches are used in this set. To shop, please click here.

 

7. Lash Remover

For safely removing lash extensions, you’ll need a reliable lash remover. There are two main types to choose from:

• Gel Remover: Ideal for targeted removal, the gel stays in place, reducing the chance of it running into the eyes.

• Cream Remover: This thick formula is perfect for full set removals and is gentle on the eyes.

8. Nano Mister and Bonder

Both the nano mister and bonder are used to cure the lash adhesive and improve retention, but they work in different ways.

• Go for the Lash Bonder if you want to cure the adhesive deeply and reduce irritation, making it great for clients with sensitivities.

• Choose the Nano Mister if you prioritize client comfort during the session and need something to gently speed up the curing process.

9. Lash Trays and Palettes

Organizing your lash supplies is key to a smooth lash application. Lash trays and palettes help keep your lash extensions in order.

• Lash Trays: These hold and store the different lengths and curls of your extensions. A well-organized lash tray can save you time during application.

• Lash Palettes: These flat surfaces hold the lash strips while you work, making it easier to pick up lashes quickly and efficiently.

10. Lighting

Proper lighting is crucial for precision when applying lash extensions. A high-quality ring light or LED lash lamp ensures you can see every lash clearly.

• Ring Lights: These provide soft, even lighting with no harsh shadows, perfect for seeing the details while lashing.

• Lash Lamps: Adjustable LED lash lamps let you direct the light exactly where you need it, ensuring clear visibility during intricate lash work.

• Foaming Lash Cleanser: This gentle yet effective cleanser helps clients remove makeup, oils, and dirt without damaging their lash extensions.

• Aftercare Kits: Offering aftercare kits, which include cleansers and spoolies, can help clients maintain their lashes between appointments, improving retention.

• Adhesive Rings: Worn on your finger, these make it easy to access the glue while keeping it close to your work area.

• Adhesive Palettes: These provide a flat surface for placing small drops of adhesive, keeping it fresh and easy to access.
