As an artist dealing with lashes, you should seek to know what extensions are suitable for your clients. Get the expectations of the clients and be forthcoming with them so that they know that they’re dealing with someone who has their interests at heart. This article seeks to provide tips on choosing the correct lashes for each client.
One size doesn’t fit all In your lash arsenal, you need to carry multiple curls, lengths, and diameters. To customize your client’s lashes as you set them up for a long-term relationship. If you apply too heavy or too long could cause long-term damage and prevent the follicles from producing healthy eyelashes. A client with thin, fine natural lashes cannot use the same lashes with another who has thick coarse naturals- either is getting a disservice.
Get the clients preferences Does your client prefer length or fullness? The longer the lash extensions, the sparser they look and the closer you keep to the client’s natural lash length, the fuller the lash line appears. If your client prefers fullness, then you need to explain to them that they’ve to go for shorter lashes since their options are limited.
More length could mean thinner lashes If you’re to go up the length, consider a going down in diameter. A thinner extension makes up for the added length by reducing weight. Smaller diameter lashes have more fans because they can be used to create various looks. In using lashes that are more than 3mm, you must be careful since there is the risk of twisting and breaking the natural lashes as they grow. Ensure that the length loving babes keep a regular schedule every two weeks for a replacement and touch before the lashes grow too long.
Go curlier When you play around with curls, it would look like you’re adding length while in the real sense you’re just tightening the curl. When a client tells you that they want longer curls, it is important to get details of what their expectations are. If for instance, they tell you that by looking straight into their eye, you can’t see the lashes, a tighter curl is what they are after, which would show more from the front. Analyze your client’s NL; whether they point downward, perk upward or sit neutral. If the curls are looking downward, try blending B and C curls to hence giving a facelift without necessarily having a major difference between NLs and extensions.
Apply the 3mm It’s better to be safe than sorry and this applies to lash extensions. Long lashes can damage the hair follicle by making them weak and a repeat may cause permanent damage to the follicle. The 3mm rule means that at no point should you apply eyelash extensions that are more than 3mm past the length of the natural follicle. Use tweezers to map out your client’s NL line, which would give you the perfect lengths and be sure that you are always using safe lengths.
There is a lot to put into consideration when choosing lash extensions for your clients. Before you employ any style to your client, find out their preferences and where possible their eyelash extension history.
