Eyelash Extension Procedure
Semi-permanent eyelash extension procedure requires skills and practice. While actual technique is straightforward and easy to learn and follow, perfecting the technique so that the extensions are properly bonded to the natural lashes and so that it is as efficient as possible requires some investment of time and effort.
Each lash extension is made from a soft synthetic material, looks and feels nearly identical to the natural lash. During the procedure, each lash extension should be placed individually. This requires good eye, precise touch and patience of the technician. A full application can take an hour to two hours. Because each extension is bonded to a natural lash they remain in place as long as the natural lash remains.
Application must take place in a clean environment. All tools should be cleaned, sterilized and checked. We offer full range of necessary tools on this website. Start by taking client’s personal information and completing info-sheet (we have these available to buy from our website). Prepare the client by making sure that her or his eyes are free from makeup and oil-based skin care products. The lashes especially should be clean. Make sure that lashes are separated and easy to pick up using your tweezers. It is a good idea to wear gloves throughout the eyelash extension procedure. Having the separated and easy to see allows you to make sure that the extensions are within easy reach.
Before beginning, pour a small amount of your eyelash extension adhesive into an adhesive holder. We offer special adhesive holder (jade stone). This makes the process much easier, as you will not have to try to get a little out of the storage bottle for each extension. The end of the lash extension that attaches to the natural eyelash should be carefully coated with adhesive and then placed on top of the chosen lash. Using your tweezers to accomplish this increases the precision with which you can place the eyelash extension. We offer straight, curved and x-type tweezers on this website.
It takes no more than 2-3 seconds for the bonding adhesive to dry on each lash, so it is important to become practiced at placing the extensions. If you make a mistake, make sure that there is some remover handy so that you can remove and discard the offending extension. Once the bond is made, the lash extensions will resist the effects of tears, sweat, water, and sun. Make sure, however, to warn the client to avoid water for at least two hours after the procedure.
Professionally trained eyelash extension technicians are usually well equipped to apply eyelash extensions. Most of them have had training in the use of the adhesives, removers, and techniques of placing the lash extensions. Many companies offer semi permanent eyelash extensions training, classes and training materials. To assure a proper installation, proper tools and supplies should also be used.
