8 Types of Professional Eyelash Tweezers - The Lash Professional
8 Types of Professional Eyelash Tweezers
October 15, 2019 by The Lash Professional.
Hey, lash artist babes, we’re going to give it to you straight. Without the right professional eyelash tweezers in your eyelash extension kit, you are not performing to the best of your ability.
And, frankly, there’s not an artistic vision or pristine lashing technique that will make up for a low-quality pair of tweezers.
With that said, today, we’re educating you on the many types of professional eyelash tweezers that lash technicians use to create daring looks.
We’ve put together this guide on the different types of professional eyelash tweezers to help you decide which needs to be a part of your lash extension kit. By the end of this, you’ll know the ins and outs of lash tweezers and their many functions.
8 Types of Professional Eyelash Tweezers
1. Straight Lash Tweezer
To begin, we’re starting with a basic tweezer that you may be familiar with: the straight lash tweezer!
These tweezers are exactly what they sound like.
Straight lash tweezers are long and narrow, ending with a tapered point. For our ferocious eyebrow pluckers, these closely resemble a traditional tweezer.
These straight tweezers are made for picking up eyelash extensions with ease! Don’t worry about dropping those precious lashes, either — the tips of this tweezer are aligned perfectly to ensure the firmest grip possible.
2. Pointed Straight Lash Tweezer
The pointed straight lash tweezer is your go-to lash tool when it comes to lash isolation. These tweezers isolate the client’s natural lashes right to prevent clumpy, unattractive lashes. Nobody wants that.
This tweezer looks similar to the straight lash tweezer. However, the pointed straight lash tweezer has a more sudden curve that tapers to a point, while the straight lash tweezer gradually comes to its pointed tip.
3. Isolation Lash Tweezers
The isolation lash tweezer helps you keep natural lashes isolated as you lash on the perfect look. As you hold this tweezer in your non-dominant hand, you can use another professional eyelash tweezer in your other hand to carefully attach lash extensions for your clients.
An isolation tweezer has a slight curve located on its underside. This curve allows for perfect isolation that is closer to the client’s eyelid. Basically, you don’t have to worry about losing an isolated lash with this excellent tool.
4. Pointed Curve Lash Tweezers
If you’re looking for a versatile professional eyelash tweezer, then this is the one for you, ladies! When it comes to the classic vs. volume eyelash extensions debate, you don’t have to pick a side.
The pointed curve lash tweezer’s short base allows for a firm grip. In turn, this makes it easy to pick up multiple lashes for a full-on volume fan. Or, if you need tweezers for classic lashing, these tweezers are a handy tool!
5. Pointed Edge Lash Tweezers
Professional eyelash tweezers in action!
The pointed edge lash tweezer is just as handy as its curved relative! This means you can use a pointed edge lash tweezer for the right volume look or lay down some classic lash style with ease.
A pointed edge lash tweezer curves in slightly before curving back with its angled tips.
6. Curved Lash Tweezers
When creating an eye-catching volume eyelash look, these curved lash tweezers are your go-to tool. These tweezers have a more gradual curve to their tip, resembling the letter J, which is why they’re also known as J tweezers.
The curved lash tweezer gives you some extra room in that “sweet spot” to make creating a volume fan easier! In addition, its precision tip allows the right amount of resistance for the best set of volume lashes.
7. Volume Lash Tweezers
When it comes to volume eyelash extensions, it feels good to have control. Control over those lashes, of course! The volume lash tweezers have a sharp curve at their tip, which resembles the letter L. So, these tweezers are also known as L tweezers!
With a pair of volume lash tweezers, you can easily control the volume fans you create. This makes styling unique and fabulous lash looks a breeze!
8. Round Volume Lash Tweezers
Round volume lash tweezers are similar to volume lash tweezers but have a more rounded tip compared to volume tweezers. Thanks to its short base and tight grip, you can make volume fans without losing any extensions!
How to care for eyelash tweezers
Sometimes, eyelash adhesive will get stuck on professional eyelash tweezers. To properly clean your tweezers, use a dime size amount of acetone on a cotton swab or tissue and wipe off the tips of the tweezer until clean.
And be sure to keep all your tweezers protected and free from dirt in our Magnetic Eyelash Extension Tweezer Case.
The importance of having the right lash tweezers
Make Stylish Lash Looks Comfortably!
Like we said earlier, there are so many professional eyelash tweezers out there. However, you need to buy the pair that’s right for you — after all, these stainless steel tweezers have to stick with you through thick and thin!
Basically, to buy the best lash tweezers, you want to take your time searching through your options and checking for quality supplies. Plus, you want tweezers that were made to feel right in your hands. For example, the wide range of lash tweezers provided by The Lash Professional is made with both quality and comfort in mind.
At the end of the day, ladies, if you remember that quality matters with professional eyelash tweezers, you’ll find the best items to make some fabulous lash art!

Wholesale Lashes: 5 Things to Look for in Wholesale Lash Vendors - The Lash Professional
Wholesale Lashes: 5 Things to Look for in Wholesale Lash Vendors
April 6, 2020 by The Lash Professional.
Bomb looking business cards for your new lashing business? Check! The perfect location for your shop? Double-check!
Before you can open your doors to the public, though, you still have some work to do, ladies. I’m talking about the basic needs of any self-respecting lash boss: lash extension supplies!
It may seem silly, but planning where you’re going to get your lash supplies matters. If you’ve done a little bit of research, then you’ve probably noticed the phrase “wholesale lashes” thrown around.
Wholesale lash vendors are the best no-nonsense, bulk, ‘bang for your buck’ suppliers.
First things first, though, you have to find a vendor that you can rely on. Trust us at The Lash Professional—you don’t want to learn this lesson the hard way!
To help all of you budding lash artists out there looking for the right supplies, check out these top tips we’ve put together on what to look for in a quality wholesale lash vendor.
What to Look For in Wholesale Lash Vendors: 5 Questions to Ask
1. Do they have product reviews?
We’ve all been there. You’re doing some late-night shopping to treat yourself, and as you scroll down, you see the review section. Some of the reviews are glowing, but some of them aren’t. In the end, all of those reviews can save you from making the wrong purchase.
When it comes to buying your salon’s supplies, you want to know that the products you’re buying match the product description online. One of the best ways to determine the quality of a wholesale lash vendor’s product is by checking their product’s reviews.
Do their products have reviews in the first place? If so, are they all the same (hint: this is a red flag!), or do they sound realistic?
Look for realistic and genuine reviews from customers that have purchased the product. Scan multiple reviews to make sure they aren’t copied and pasted templates from the vendor to boost their public image.
If they check out, purchase with confidence. But if something in your gut makes you hesitate, babe, take your lashes and run.
Think of all those times you’ve bought an outfit, and it arrives two sizes too small. “But the image made it look different,” you may cry!
There is really only so much you can learn from a product page image. Sure, it might look nice on a blank canvas, but what does the product look like in action?
Avoid mishaps and check out the vendor’s social media.
There are plenty of vendors that sell lashes and offer styling services. Examine pictures, watch live videos, and see what their followers are saying to gain a greater understanding of their product.
Don’t get catfished ever again—search their social media!
On the whole, an excellent way for a client to get to know a vendor is through social media or a blog.
While this blog doesn’t always need to be educational, it certainly can’t hurt.
A well-written and researched blog builds a positive reputation. It also shows that the vendor values the customer and desires to educate and build a rapport with the reader.
It’s not rocket science—it just shows that the vendor is open to taking the extra step to provide valuable information, along with products, to the customer.
So, by this point, you know that vendor has pretty good wholesale lashes, but here’s an important question you can’t forget: can they walk the walk and talk the talk?
Anyone can sell a newspaper or fountain pen; however, it takes an expert to know the various nuances and applications of different eyelash extensions.
Read their product descriptions, look for vendor replies to customer questions in the review section, or shoot the vendor a quick email.
If, for whatever reason, they can’t answer a question about their product, take your business elsewhere.
While our previous questions are about finding information on your vendor, this one is a little different. Here, you want to examine how easy—or difficult—it is to learn about your vendor outside of their store’s front page.
For example, can you find a contact page? Does it have any important information, like a phone number or email you can contact?
If a vendor doesn’t list their contact information, you may want to brush it off and give them the benefit of the doubt. However, ladies, we are telling you not to!
It’s natural for a customer to have questions, and the vendor should be readily available to receive them.
While you shouldn’t assume that every vendor who doesn’t list contact information is suspicious, it’s better to stay safe than sorry. So, your best bet is to go with a vendor you can quickly contact just in case you have any burning questions to ask.
Become the Lashing Expert You’ve Always Dreamed Of!
Ladies, these have been our tips on finding those high-quality wholesale lashes that you deserve. But, this is far from the end of the road when it comes to your lashing education.
Here at The Lash Professional, not only can you get products tested and approved by our own lash industry bosses, but those same experts can show you how to start lashing, too!
Through our comprehensive in-person classes, you can go behind the scenes at The Lash Professional and learn lashing tricks from the best.
Got a busy schedule but still dream of a future full of lashing? We’ve got your back with our online lashing classes. Now you can learn to lash legendary looks at your own pace!

3 Types of Eyelash Extensions - The Lash Professional
3 Types of Eyelash Extensions
February 18, 2021 by The Lash Professional.
Hey lash stylist, how’s your week been? Hopefully, you’ve been slaying lashes left and right. This week, we’re talking about three different types of eyelash extensions. Say what? There’s more than one type of eyelash extension? The answer is yes. There are actually quite a few different eyelash extension options you can choose from when shopping for lashes.
We’re going to explore the differences between silk, mink, and faux mink eyelash extension types. Each has their own benefits, and it can be difficult to decide which type of eyelash extension is best for you and your clients. No worries! We’re going to help you out, babe.
You may be wondering, “What are the best types of eyelash extensions?”. The Lash Professional has you covered! We’re going to share three of the best types of eyelash extensions and the benefits of each. There may be occasions when you use each one for a specific reason. Read on to learn more about these types of eyelash extensions.
Silk eyelash extensions are a very popular eyelash extension option. One of the great things about them is that they’re one of the cheaper types of eyelash extensions on the market.
If your client doesn’t like the overly natural lash look, then silk lash extensions are perfect. Their extra weight provides more dramatic results than other types of eyelash extensions. They’re also thicker than some other options, so they’re more noticeable.
We love sassy silk lashes, but these should only be used on clients with super-strong natural lashes because thick extensions = heavy lashes. And we already know that too-heavy extensions can damage a client’s natural lashes. On that note, don’t forget to recommend a lash growth serum to your clients to maintain the health of their natural lashes. No breakage here!
Mink eyelash extensions come from real mink fur. It is said that these creatures’ tiny hairs are collected by brushing them. If you’re going for a vegan- or cruelty-free vibe, we suggest you stay away from real mink eyelash extensions.
Don’t clutch your pearls too hard over this, but they’re the most expensive eyelash extensions on the market, meaning your clients will be paying between $300 and $500 for a full set, according to Emily McClure at Bustle. We like to offer quality services at affordable prices so we can cater to a wide clientele, and mink eyelash extensions can be a bit pricey!
Mink lash extensions are premium and provide a killer voluminous lash look, but you have to consider if they are in your price range. If price isn’t a factor for you and your clients, then mink lash extensions are a fantastic high-quality eyelash extension option.
The next type of lash extension is our personal favorite and will give you that mink lash look for less!
We at The Lash Professional believe faux mink eyelash extensions are the way to go.
Faux mink extensions are comparable in cost to silk extensions, but they’re made of polyester, which is a lot more versatile than silk. Also, they are feather-light compared to silk lashes.
These lashes are soft, comfortable, and come in a variety of different lengths and curl types. They give a 3D layered look that we personally love! Even better, there’s no mink involved. Read vegan- and cruelty-free, babe.
Achieve a natural lash look at an affordable price with this type of eyelash extension. If you like the look of real mink lash extensions, give faux mink lashes a try.
As you can see, there are pros and cons to each type of eyelash extension. Weigh the benefits to choose which option will work best for you and your clients.
So, now that you’re an expert in the different types of eyelash extensions, do you know what you’re going to invest in? If you’re looking for quality faux mink eyelash extensions at a great price (and cute as hell branding), visit The Lash Professional’s lash shop. Did you know we even have premade volume lashes in multiple lengths? I know, super cool, right? And don’t forget about our eyelash extension tools like tape, pillows, stones, and more!

Eyelash Extension Kit Essentials - The Lash Professional
Eyelash Extension Kit Essentials
August 20, 2020 by The Lash Professional.
Do you know what time it is? Time for another educational, yet fun lash lesson from your BFF! This time we’re talking about lash extension kit essentials. That’s right. We’re covering the lash essentials that you need in your arsenal.
When looking at an eyelash extension training course, make sure the lash extension kit offered includes the items below. If the course you’re looking for doesn’t offer an eyelash extension kit and is priced similarly to other courses, pick another course, baby.
While education is important, hands-on practice is what will turn you into a lash master. If you can’t practice the skill you’re learning with real-life lash tools, what’s the point?
For the path to creating your best eyelash extension kit, read below!
8 Eyelash Extension Kit Essentials
Eyelash Trays
A quality lash extension kit will include the most important lash supply—lashes, duh. This goes for both classic and volume courses. Ideally, you’ll receive multiple trays with a variety of lash lengths. Diameter variety isn’t so important in this case, because you’ll want to focus on making sure lashes are the right lengths for your clients and their natural lash health. Once you can lash with one diameter, you can lash with them all.
We want lashes that last. So lash adhesive is a must-have. How else will you secure lashes and create amazing looks for clients? Make sure that the eyelash extension kit you’re purchasing includes an adhesive that matches your skill level. If you’re a brand new lash artist and are just starting in a classic course, you’ll probably want a slow-drying adhesive while learning. This allows for mistakes to be easily corrected. But, if you’ve been lashing for a while and want to up your game with a volume course, you’ll probably be safe using a pro adhesive that dries in one second or less.
Safety first! Eye pads and tape are essential to lashing, so let’s make them part of the routine. Eye pads protect the sensitive skin under a client’s eyes while eye tape keeps the bottom lashes down so that they don’t get glued to the lashes you’re extending, causing a lash disaster! Whether they’re standard eye pads, gel pads, paper tape, or plastic tape, your kit should include at least one of these products.
To prime or not to prime? Primer is an essential part of a lash extension kit because it’s an important step for preparing the lids of many clients. There are certain cases to avoid using lash extension primer like when a client has very dry skin. But the majority of the time, primer is a useful way to get the lids ready for the royal lash treatment. Make sure you understand the do’s and don’ts of lash extension primer, so you know when to reach for your bottle and when to skip it!
Eyelash brushes are another must-have lash essential. Eyelash brushes are your best friend when it comes to making sure the lashes are good to go. The best way to check your work is to give the lashes a quick brush-through to see if they’re even or if there are any gaps. Lash brushes will also catch any stray lashes, giving you a heads-up that you may need to use a little more adhesive. Those little eyelash brushes are helpful tools that deserve a spot in every eyelash extension kit.
You have to apply the lashes with something, right?! Every lash artist uses different tweezers for different things. As you grow your skills, you’ll experiment with different tweezer types to learn what suits your lashing style. Ultimately, you’re going to have a preference that might not be what your kit comes with. However, if it’s a quality kit, it will come with tweezers that the company believes will benefit you on your lashing journey. Volume course kits should come with some type of volume tweezers, though!
Practice makes perfect (lashes)! Taking models right away probably isn’t the greatest move. You’re going to make mistakes, which is fine. But it’s best not to make those mistakes at the expense of someone’s eyes! A quality kit will include some practice strip lasheson which you can practice your first few sets. That way, you can gain confidence and speed in your application technique before moving onto the real deal.
Learning how to remove eyelash extensions is also an important part of your lash education. When it’s time for a clean slate, a lash removing solution is just what you need. Make sure the remover you select contains gentle ingredients that promote healthy natural lashes. An effective lash extension remover will break down the adhesive bonds so that the lashes slide off easily.
Gathering all the lash essentials for your best eyelash extension kit can be time-consuming, and time is money, babe! Plus, finding quality products you can trust, and ordering supplies separately won’t be cheap. Luckily, you can find a high-quality lash extension kit with everything you need. Save yourself the stress and pick up a kit designed by a professional in the lash industry. Here are a few ideas:
- If you’re looking for a course with bomb a*s kits, check out The Lash Professional.
- If you’re just looking for a kit that has everything you need, check out our Professional Eyelash Extension Kits or Sugarlash PRO.
With a solid lash education, lots of practice and the right tools in your eyelash extension kit, you’ll be lashing with the best of them in no time. Best of luck, beautiful!
Guide to Choosing Premade Volume Lashes - The Lash Professional
Guide to Choosing Premade Volume Lashes
January 27, 2021 by The Lash Professional.
Premade volume lashes are where it’s at. Clients and lash artists alike love the way premade volume lashes make their eyes appear bigger and brighter. Using premade volume lashes saves time without sacrificing quality. This ensures fabulous lash artists like yourself stay busy, taking on many happy customers in a day.
With this guide, you’ll learn:
- What premade lash fans are
- What to look for when choosing premade lash fans
- How to choose the best premade lash fans
- The benefits of using premade lash fans, and so much more!
Keep reading for the know-how on selecting premade volume lashes for your business.
Choosing Premade Lash Fans: What to Look For
It’s worth putting in the work to select high-quality premade lash fans for your clients. Here’s everything you need to know to start your search.
The best eyelash extension fans will have a thin, easy to adhere base and multiple lash lengths.
Another thing to consider when choosing premade volume lashes is your client’s desired end look.
Premade lash fans with short stems that are 2D or 3D work best when you’re going for a natural volume look. For added drama and a fluffier look, try wider premade volume lashes, such as 4D or 5D lash fans. To achieve the most volume and that “fresh eyeliner” look, look for super-wide, super fine eyelash extension fans.
Lash tech tip: Grow your knowledge and client list by mastering volume lash application. Take The Lash Professional’s Volume Lash Training online or in person today!
It’s possible to find premade lash fans to suit any look your client desires. The Lash Professional’s D Curl Premade Fans are great for new and experienced lash artists. These fans come with multi-length lashes in 3D and 5D. Their natural matte sheen is flattering and versatile, a perfect fit for any eye.
Can You Premake Lash Fans?
It is possible to premake lash fans, though the process is time-consuming. To do so, use curved lash tweezers designed for volume lashes. Handmade eyelash extension fans require lash artists to put individual lashes together in a fan shape. Lash artists who swear by this technique have often had years to perfect this skill, allowing them to move quickly when making lash fans by hand.
Premade lash fans are a great option for newer lash technicians who’re interested in doing volume work while continuing to perfect their lashing skills. Many veteran lash artists also enjoy premade lash fans because of the time they save.
Benefits of Using Premade Volume Fans
Babe, there are so many benefits to using premade volume lashes. Because the lashes come ready to apply, lash artists can apply them quickly without stopping and making fans by hand. After all, time is money when it comes to lashing.
Additionally, premade volume lash fans are easier to apply than handmade fans. Though the bases are thin, they’re specially designed to be user-friendly, allowing you to easily pick them up.
Lash tech tip: Still learning how to rock the volume lash game? This sticky strip volume application method is one helpful technique to try.
Eyelash extension fans also allow lash artists who haven’t been technically trained in doing volume lash sets to begin doing them. Applying premade volume lashes uses the same technique one might use when applying a classic set. For lash artists eager to increase their income and offerings through volume sets, premade volume fans offer a great solution.
Why Doesn’t Everyone Use Premade Volume Lashes?
Premade volume lashes are an incredible solution for lash artists interested in growing their technique and their businesses. It’s hard to see why anyone wouldn’t be interested in using these premade solutions with all of the benefits. It all comes down to personal preference. Some lash artists pride themselves on doing everything by hand and enjoy making handmade lash fans.
We recommend giving premade lash fans a try. They just might be the thing your lash business has been waiting for. At The Lash Professional, we’re passionate about helping women own what beauty means to them.
Our educational programs are top notch and empower lash artists with the supplies and know-how to succeed in the industry. Plus, we offer a variety of products, from premade volume lashes to high-quality tweezers.

Wholesale Lash Extension Products and Supplies - The Lash Professional
Benefits of Buying Wholesale Lash Extension Products
May 28, 2018 by The Lash Professional.
Wholesale lash extension products and supplies will take you to the next level of your lash game. By keeping your overhead costs down, your products fully stocked, and your space organized, your business will thrive. This is an expensive industry, but it has a hell of a pay off... if you do it right!
Wholesale Lash Extension Products are Cheaper
Buying wholesale will allow you to buy in bulk, which ultimately will save you a lot of money! Generally, a wholesale lash extension supplier will require the customer to purchase a minimum number of products. For example, when you may be used to purchasing one adhesive for $60 at a time, a wholesale supplier may require a minimum purchase of 10 adhesives for a total of $450. Holy wow, that’s a lot of money, right?
Wrong! In the long run, you will be saving $150! Totally worth the upfront charge.
Not to mention, where you may have been paying for $10 shipping every month, you will now only pay for that shipping cost one time, until you decide it’s time to re-order. The savings are amazing! Don’t believe me? Check out The Lash Professional’s wholesale programs! They offer discounts from 5%-20% to certified lash professionals who want to become a Lash Ambassador. They also offer up to 40% for established salons who want to be a part of the Salon Partnership Program! Check them out to start saving on your products now. Your wallet will thank you.
Immediate Availability of Salon Products and Supplies
Not only will you save big bucks, but you will also always be ready for anything. When I first started lashing, I ordered small numbers of products and supplies at a time. It just made sense, financially…or so I thought. There were countless times, however, that I would have a specific situation that required very specific products, and I COULDN’T cater to them! It was actually embarrassing when it happened.
When I started to purchase products at a discount, I found I was able to keep absolutely everything (and then some) in stock at my studio. Doing that prepared me for every situation possible; impromptu lash removals, itty bitty tiny lashes, and tape for days (just in case)! Being prepared not only will make you more confident as a lash artist, but it will make you, noticeably, more professional! Client’s will notice, and your studio and business will become more reputable. Buying wholesale starts a domino effect, resulting in you being the best you can possibly be!
Side note: My domino effect started with a bad experience (lashes that needed to be removed-but guess what, I ran out of remover half-way through!). The next domino was me searching high and low for a good discount, so I could keep those supplies on hand at all times. I landed right back at the awesome lash company that I was certified by: The Lash Professional! Another domino fell and I became a Lash Brand Ambassador. Since I was certified by The Lash Pro, I got 20% off of products! As my business grew, more dominoes fell. That brought me to The Lash Pro’s Salon Partnership Program. I now receive a 40% discount and my books are full! What more could I ask for?!
Storage for Wholesale Lash Extension Supplies
Now how did I manage all these products at once?! I got organized and let me tell you this will be the best bit of advice that I could ever give you. GET ORGANIZED. This will allow you to manage large amounts of stock and will optimize your ability to perform more successful services (stress-free service space; nothing is better than that!).
Adhesives, primers, and removers should all be stored in a cool, dry space (a fridge is an ideal place, but make sure you have baking soda near by to ensure your adhesive stays free of any moisture!). I have a mini-fridge in my studio where I keep all my adhesives (and primers and removers) in a sealable box with a baggie full of baking soda! When I pull them out of the fridge for use, I keep them in a sealable jar with rice, right on my station!
Lash trays and tiles are keep best in drawers! When I first started my journey to organization (it is a journey, let me tell you!). I used a few of these small stack-able drawers from Target and separated the lashes by diameter! Labeling the drawers accordingly will take you one step closer to the world of ultimate organization.
Your supplies, such as tweezers and anything else that needs to be sanitized and sealed shut between every appointment, should have a very special place in your space. I started by keeping my tools in a sanitize-able pencil box! Sounds silly, but it works, and according to most regulations it is totally legal and safe. I’ve since upgraded to Pyrex Tupperware that I love and trust (check it out on the William Sonoma website). This set of ten allowed me to seal up just about everything in my space: microbrushes, lash wands, gauze pads, everything. (and what I didn’t use at the studio, I used in my kitchen; win, win!)
Now that I’ve laid out the facts, the discounts, and the tricks for buying (and managing) wholesale lash extension products and supplies, it’s time for you to make a decision! Do you want to save tons of money on lash supplies and products?! Well get to it, then. Start by checking out The Lash Professionals Brand Ambassador Program. Then take it a step further and see if you and your salon space qualify for their Salon Partnership Program!

How do you know what company to buy your eyelash extension kit from? Should you buy eyelash extension supplies from Amazon or the latest greatest lash brand you saw on Instagram? Or what about that Chinese brand that keeps sliding into your direct messenger?
Having lash product options is a good thing, but too many options can be very overwhelming. That’s where The Lash Professional team comes in! We’re here to walk you through your options and let you know exactly where to buy eyelash extensions supplies.
Oversea Vendors Eyelash Extension Supplies
Have you been directly messaged on Facebook or Instagram by an overseas vendor offering you extremely low prices for every lash product you could dream of? Let me be honest with you — I definitely have. The Lash Professional trainers and our lash artist community all have at some point, so I’m guessing you have too!
Low prices for eyelash extension supplies are something we all want, so it seems like a no-brainer. I mean, who wants to pay more for something? Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is that those “cheap” lashes are probably too good to be true.
The worst-case scenario is that the credit card you used for your overseas lash product purchase will have fraud charges almost immediately after your purchase. And yes, you can get those charges reversed, but who wants to go through that struggle? Not me!
Okay, the second not-so-good scenario is that you don’t receive the lash products you ordered. The overseas lash company takes your money but doesn’t send you the product. Again reversible but overly annoying and time-consuming.
Third bad scenario: the lash products you receive are the worst quality you’ve experienced. They’re so bad you’d have to be willing to ruin your reputation to use them. Don’t even think about it!
Is it possible to have a good scenario when you buy eyelash extension supplies from an overseas vendor?
Sure, it’s a possibility. If you want to purchase your eyelash extension products overseas, we at The Lash Professional strongly suggest you spend lots and lots of time researching lash companies and their products individually. It can be a time-consuming task, but the alternative is much worse! We also strongly suggest ordering samples before investing your money into any products.
Lastly and most importantly, keep in mind that most overseas companies will only sell in bulk, so production and shipping can take up to 90 days. If you need your products sooner than that, you may want to consider an eyelash extension supply alternative.
Amazon Eyelash Extension Supplies
You can buy just about everything on Amazon now! I personally use Amazon as my go-to shopping center for all professional eyelash extension tools. It makes my life so much easier, and who doesn’t want an easier life? The great thing about purchasing your lash extension supplies off of Amazon is most products will ship crazy fast and for free! Some even have exclusive offers for Prime members. What a dream!
Unfortunately, there is one big problem you might run into when you buy eyelash extension supplies from Amazon — knock-offs. Even in the lash world, we have knock-offs. Oversea vendors copy lash brands’ packaging and sell the knock-off eyelash extension supplies on Amazon. Amazon does its best with this issue, but it’s definitely something to watch for.
To avoid this situation when shopping on Amazon, check reviews for the lash extension supplies you’re interested in buying. If people have had a bad experience with a company and their product, you'll definitely hear about it in the review section! Check for reviews with high customer satisfaction to find quality lash supplies.
Pay close attention to the lash extension supplies' description as well. Most overseas vendors won’t write out a full description of the product. However, if they do, the description may be lacking in detail, grammar, or punctuation. Save your money and time by doing a little research before completing the purchase.
Lash Brand Websites Eyelash Extension Supplies
Purchasing your lash supplies from an actual lash brand website is the safest way to receive professional eyelash extension products. You don't have to worry about credit card fraud, the speed of shipping, or the quality of the products.
Don't know the lash brand well? Research is a lash pro's best friend! If you really want to try out an eyelash extension brand you're unfamiliar with, check out their Instagram, online reviews, and website. You can find out a lot about a company by reading their blogs, product descriptions, and efforts to make sure all the lash product details are dialed in. If they're not paying attention to their social media or website details, they most likely aren't paying attention to the details of their products.
Eyelash extension supplies are totally okay to buy online. Come on — everything is online, right?! You just need to make sure you are buying your lash products from the right place and brand. The right lash vendor or lash company is an expert in the industry. They have a positive reputation that they will do anything to uphold.
Still unsure? Try a product or two before buying all the lash extension supplies you use. It's better to be safe than sorry!
And, while exclusive offers are alluring, you get what you pay for, especially with lash products!
