Beginners Lash Course

Prioritize how you prep a client lash extensions, the experience you’re giving them, create beautiful lashes and long-lasting results, and last but not least, love to take care of your clients.

  • Sanitation

    • Ask your clients to wash their hands. You can set up a policy when reminding clients of their appointment the day of.

    • Have a sanitizer nearby; It’s another way to go about it and will save you more time.

    • Handsanitize your own hands before touching a client’s face. It’s definitely a step up if you communicate with your client about what you’re doing, it shows cleanliness, and they would really appreciate that.

  • Preparation

    • You want to make sure you have your lash station set up; Whichever you'll use most often should be placed closes to you.

    • After sanitizing your hands, place ahead protectant bid on the client's forehead; This is super helpful to avoid any adhesive spillage.

    • Use a sensitive lash foam, apply it on the client's eyes (closed), and gently brush only side to side and downward motion; Be free to remind clients to avoid squeezing their eyes during this process.

    • Use a 4x4 free lint cotton pad and use a bottle spray with water to dampen the cotton pad and gently wipe down the client's eyes.

    • Use a fan to dry your client's eyes with the help of a lash brush; A lash brush really helps you dry in between lashes while drying and could really help any possibility of burning.

  • Preparation cont'd...

    • Ask your client to open their eyes (not up, not down, but straight up), then place eyelash pads right over the bottom lash line (not the waterline). Tip; Pulldown outer corner (with your middle finger, or whichever finger works for you) when placing the lash pads.

    • Once placed, tell your client to keep their eye's closed throughout the process. What I like to do is to add another lash pad. Tip; This could really help to hold down any lashes that might have snuck out and to help keep the lash pad to stay in place. Feel free to use tape.

  • Preparation cont'd...

    • Apply lash bonder to 2 microfiber brushes, brush each one against lashes and in a downward motion before applying it front and back of lashes. Tips; Never reuse a microfiber brush if you ever need more bonder (keep it clean); When applying, avoid touching skin; Allow lashes to dry. During this drying process, waste no time and start shaking your adhesive (prepare to use).

    • Shake your adhesive for at least 30 seconds before using it. Tip; Avoid lid getting stuck (over time) by wiping down the nozzle each time open and used; Keep adhesive in a store tight container (helps with performance).

    • Have varieties of lash sizes laid out and ready to use.

    • Always have a lash map and a pen close by. This is the key to being consistent with your client's lashes.

  • Completion

    • Avoid brushing lashes excessively to avoid early fallouts.

    • Please, fan your client's lashes before applying and after sealant.

    • Fan 15-30 seconds on each side, or until dry. Notes; allow lashes to dry for 10 seconds before brushing; this will allow your client's lashes to fluff up beautifully.

    • Remove tapes (if any), eye pads, and please check both eyes before allowing your client to open their eyes.

  • Completion cont'd...

    • Client's who has more sensitive eyes; allow them to sit up while using a fan.

    • Take photos of the client; when taking pictures, take more than 3. All angles help create a unique look.

    • Give thanks, pre-book clients for a fill; offer first-time clients a free or discounted fill.

    • Send them off with an after-care and goodie bag.

  • Disinfection

    • After each appointment, give yourself 30 minutes to an hour to disinfect and set up your station for your next appointment.

    • Do not reuse anything that should not reuse.

    • Always wash your lash bath brushes before soaking them in barbicide. Soak for at least 10 minutes—mixing ratio; 1/4 cup of concentrated barbicide to 4 cups of water.

    • Disinfect all tools that have made contact with a client.

    • Disinfect the restroom after each client uses it.

    • Change hand towel (if used)
