Below is a straightforward list of the must-have items every lash artist should have in their kit.

1. Lash Extensions

Starting with the basics, you'll need a variety of lash extensions. Stock different lengths, curls, and thicknesses to cater to diverse client preferences. This variety allows you to customize looks that flatter your clients' eye shapes and personal styles.

2. High-Quality Adhesive

A reliable lash adhesive is crucial. Choose adhesives that are long-lasting and suited to handle different humidity levels and temperatures, ensuring durability and comfort for your clients. Always have a sensitive glue available for clients with allergies or sensitivities.

3. Tweezers

You will need at least two types of tweezers: one for isolation and one for application. The isolation tweezer helps separate natural lashes, while the application tweezer is used to apply the extensions. Ensure your tweezers are always in good condition, as bent tips can make your job much harder.

4. Eyelash Primer

An eyelash primer is used to prep the lashes before applying extensions. It cleans any residues or oils which helps the adhesive bond better with the natural lash, leading to better retention.

5. Microfiber Brushes

Use microfiber brushes for applying primer and cleansers to the lashes without leaving any fibres behind. They are also useful for dabbing off any excess glue during the application process.

6. Lash Cleanser

A good lash cleanser is vital not only for prepping your client’s lashes but also for advising daily lash care. Keeping lashes clean is essential for maintaining eye health and extending the life of the lash extensions.

7. Gel Pads and Tape

Gel pads and medical-grade tape are used to protect the lower lashes and the sensitive skin under the eyes during the application process. Ensure these are comfortable and do not cause any irritation to the skin.

Sensitive Nexcare Skin Tape and Hydrogel Under Eye Patches are used here. To shop, please click here.

8. Lash Remover

At times, lashes need to be professionally removed. Having a gentle yet effective lash removal solution ensures you can safely remove extensions without damaging the client's natural lashes.

9. Disposable Applicators and Mascara Wands

Always have disposable applicators and mascara wands handy. These are used during the application to comb through and position lashes, and they can be given to clients for daily grooming of their extensions.

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.

10. Comfortable Seating

A comfortable client chair is a must-have. Your clients will be sitting for long periods, so their comfort is paramount. Additionally, an adjustable artist stool will help maintain your comfort and posture during applications.

Curved Lash Bed Mattress Topper, Velour Luxury Lash Bed Cover, Portable Handheld Cooling Fan, Lash Tweezer, Lashes and Magnetic Lash Tile are used here. To shop, please click here. 

11. Good Lighting

Proper lighting is essential for precision in lash application. Ideally, a bright, daylight-balanced lamp will help you see the finest details without straining your eyes.

12. Magnification Glasses

If you find yourself struggling to see small details, magnification glasses can be a game-changer. They help protect your eyesight and ensure each lash is perfectly placed.

13. Humidity and Temperature Monitor

Since lash glue’s performance is affected by environmental conditions, having a monitor helps you keep your workspace within the ideal humidity and temperature range.
