Lash Like A Pro With These Eyelash Extension Application Tools
Tweezers
We said it once, and we’ll say it again, we don’t know where we would be without our eyelash tweezers! This little tool is an extension of your hand and helps you place lash extensions precisely. Don’t sell yourself short – purchase a set of tweezers that allow you to maneuver the delicate area with care.
Listen up, lash babes, this is important! The eyelash glue that you use matters. Glue applied near the eye can cause a host of preventable issues like red eye and allergic reactions. In this case, it is important to have a gentle glue that is safe to use near the eye.
We can’t express to you how important this eyelash application tool is! Primer is used before lash extensions are used to clean the client’s natural lashes of oils and debris. Ultimately, the primer makes the application process smoother. In addition, it increases the longevity of the extensions.
No more pesky fly-away lashes! Eyelash gel pads secure the lower lashes in place to allow for a clean an efficient application. Don’t accidentally snatch a few natural lashes when your applying lash extensions!
Again, we are all about efficiency! If gel pads aren’t your gig, try a few strategically placed pieces of medical tape to secure the lower lashes out of the way.
Don’t get caught without this tool! It may seem counterproductive to keep lash remover on-hand; however, it is useful to keep in your professional eyelash extensions kit. Lash remover is particularly useful when you have clients that want ill-placed lashes that need to be removed before a new set of lashes are applied.
What is a nano mister? It is a small device that sprays a micro-mist of water. Even more, a nano mister is used after the extensions are applied to cure the eyelash extension glue. As a result, it takes less time for eyelash glue to dry and, in most cases, an efficient dry makes it possible for lash extensions to last longer, and hold up over time.
Fan and separate the lashes with a lash brush! Even more, disposable brushes make for a useful client souvenir so that they can maintain their fluffy lashes at home.
Use Your Eyelash Extension Application Tools Like A Boss
Those are only a few of our favorite tools that you will undoubtedly use at some point in your lash tech career. However, a word from the wise, without the proper lash extension technique and knowledge, not even the best tools can send you skyrocketing to the top of the diva’s list.
