In this blog, we take you through an easy step-by-step guide on classic eyelash extensions. You will learn how to create the best lashes while keeping them safe and comfortable. Let’s get into the world of lashes and bring smiles to your clients’ faces. 

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Your workplace should always be clean and neat. Actually, hygiene is so important in working next to the eye of a human being. All your equipment for the business: tweezers, lash extensions, glues, and mirrors.

Bright light but not too harsh. Your client will be lying down on a comfortable chair or bed. Peaceful surroundings quiet will also make you and your client quite relaxed as well.

Step 2: Clean the client’s natural lashes

The treatment will start with the cleaning of the client’s natural lashes. Gentle lash cleanser or wipes will be needed in order to remove makeup, oil, or dirt, so that the extensions perfectly stick to the lashes.

Dry them out using a fan, or let them air dry after cleaning. Once clean, lay out the lower lashes with an under-eye pad or tape to prevent the adhesive from attaching to the bottom lashes.

Step 3: Right Selection of Eyelash Extensions

This is the right selection for an extension. Classic lash extensions come in different lengths, thicknesses, and curls. Discuss what kind of look your client wants. Do they want a natural or dramatic look?

If it is a natural look, use extensions as close in length and thickness as to the natural lash. If it’s going to be a little more glamorous, use extensions that are just a bit longer and quite curlier as well. Never forget eye shape and natural health at all times.

Step 4: Applying the Right Adhesive

The adhesive can be one of the major contributors that can help extensions last a little longer. Shake the adhesive bottle before application. Place a small amount on a jade stone or adhesive ring.

Ensure the glue is not too thick to apply or too runny. Replace the drop every 20 minutes and ensure it works well. Make sure to get the right adhesive that dries quickly and won’t cause irritation in the eyes.

Step 5: Isolate the Natural Lashes

Isolation is how to separate one natural lash from the others. Use tweezers to isolate just one lash. This will ensure that the extensions stick on one natural lash, and it will come out neat and uniform-looking. Proper isolation prevents clumping of the lashes. Time is required at this moment. Take time to isolate one lash slowly. 

Step 6: Apply the Eyelash Extensions

Dip the bottom end of the extension into the glue. Don’t pick up too much, or your base will be lumpy. Glue an extension to the natural about 1-2 millimeters away from the lash line. Tap gently onto this area for a couple of seconds until it sets.

Now, repeat the same procedure on all the lashes. You must be working symmetrically from one side of the eye to the other and always check your work for symmetry.

Step 7: Inspect for any gaps and adjust

Inspect your work after applying the extensions. Look for gaps or uneven areas. Fill gaps with more extensions. Try to get a balanced look and a natural appearance. If any extensions are too long or misplaced, remove them and reapply. Attention to detail will set your work apart.

Step 8: Cure the Adhesive

Allow the curing to occur as the procedure is done by applying all extensions with the help of the nano mister or fan for the glue to cure completely thereby reducing the stinging, at this stage your client should close his eyes. Correct curing will allow the extension to last longer.

Step 9: Finish and Style

Finish with soft combing of the lashes using a spoolie brush. This sets the extensions to their alignment and will get rid of excess glue that might cling to the lashes. Brushing also sets the lashes in place after settling into their final form. At this point, the lashes should appear glossy and ready to flaunt

Step 10: Provide aftercare instructions

Educate your client on proper aftercare. Teach them not to use water, steam, and heavy eye makeup in the first 24 hours. Oil-free cleansers should be used for cleaning the lashes. Regular brushing will help prevent tangling and also maintain the appearance of the extensions. Suggest refills every 2-3 weeks.
