Eyelash Extensions

  • Understanding the procedure: Eyelash extensions involve attaching individual synthetic lashes to the client’s natural lashes using a strong adhesive. The treatment can create a natural or dramatic look depending on the client’s preferences.

  • Selecting the appropriate lashes: It’s important to consider the length, thickness, and curl of the extensions to match the client’s natural lashes and desired look. Always discuss this with the client during the consultation.

  • Safe application: Use a high-quality adhesive and ensure it does not come into contact with the client’s skin or eyes. Encourage the client to keep their eyes closed throughout the procedure.

  • Precision and care: This is a meticulous process as each lash is applied individually. Use a magnifying lamp to enhance visibility.

  • Aftercare advice: Advise clients not to wet their lashes for 24 hours after the treatment. Recommend oil-free makeup removers to avoid dissolving the adhesive. Inform clients about the need for regular infills due to lash growth cycle.

Eyelash Perming

  • Understanding the procedure: Eyelash perming involves using a chemical solution to create a semi-permanent curl in the client’s natural lashes. The results can last several weeks.

  • Patch testing: This should be conducted 24-48 hours prior to the treatment to test for any allergic reactions to the perming solution.

  • Safe application: It’s important to ensure that the solution and neutraliser don’t come into play with the skin or eyes.

  • Detail-oriented process: Handle lashes with precision during the application of the perming rods and the solutions. The rods should be carefully selected based on the client’s natural lash length.

  • Aftercare advice: Advise the clients not to use mascara or wet their lashes for 24 hours after the treatment.

In both treatments, it’s essential to understand that the client’s safety and satisfaction are paramount. As a beauty therapist, always maintain a rigorous hygiene routine, and follow all health and safety guidelines.
