01 features of eyelashes

When talking about eyelashes, you have to mention human eyebrows at the same time.

Because eyelashes are similar to eyebrows, both are body hair around the eyes.

Interestingly, eyebrows are unique to humans, not other animals.

Eyelashes, on the other hand, are found in all kinds of mammals and other animals.

Eyelashes have the following three characteristics:

1)     The eyelashes are longer and thicker than the general body hair. The upper and lower eyelids are lined with three or four clusters. The eyelashes of the upper eyelid are longer than those of the lower eyelid.

Eyelashes have the following four functions:

1) Block uv rays to protect eyes

2) Protect eyeball from injury and prevent eye diseases

3) Prevent the entry of dust and other foreign matters

4) Sensitive perception of contact makes the eyes close quickly

03 The culture of eyelashes

Long eyelashes are considered to be a sign of femininity, so most girls will artificially grow and thicken their eyelashes, and will also use makeup to achieve this goal.

The history of eyelash application can be traced back to the Bronze Age, when mascara called eyeliner existed.

The effect that emphasizes eyelash and emphasize an eye to rise is basically same, of eyelash creams, eye shadow, eyeliner cooperate use to call eye makeup in general.

As an eyelash artist, do you know how to choose the best tweezers for yourself?

As a professional eyelash artist, tweezers are the tools you use every day. Since they are the tools you use every day, you must choose the most convenient and useful tweezers for yourself. Do you really know how to pick tweezers?

Today Ourlash will take you to understand the different types of eyelash tweezers and the correct way to take tweezers. Ourlash is a lash factory, we wholesale lashes and we make friends via lashes. If you want to learn more please follow us.

01 The kind of eyelash tweezers

We carry on classification according to the shape of forceps, can be divided into I tweezers (straight), L tweezers (bent/hook), J tweezers ( suitable for flowering grafting, can improve flowering grafting technology ) X tweezers, H tweezers ( suitable for single grafting ).

02 Material of tweezers

At present, there are 4 kinds: stainless steel, titanium, alloy and carbon (iron)

By weight: iron > alloy > stainless steel > titanium

What sell on current market is stainless steel tweezers and titanium tweezers, alloy and carbon tweezers are less.

Titanium has good skin affinity and anti - sensitivity effect. The cost of the tweezers is lower than that of stainless steel, but they have an anti-sensitivity effect, so the price will be higher than that of stainless steel tweezers.

03 How to choose appropriate tweezers?

Choosing the right pair of tweezers can be tricky. You should consider the shape, length of the handle, edge and softness of the handle.

When these elements can be satisfied, it is a pair of tweezers suitable for you.

1) Tip [edge] : the longer the tip of the tweezers is, the easier it is to separate hairs.

2) Top: it is used to check the thickness of the tip of the eyelash. The thin tweezers can easily see the eyelash when operating.

3) Handle [elastic] : the strength of the elastic force of the handle is very important. Choose a narrow one, so that you don't need to spend extra energy.

4) Tweezers handle: the length of the two handles should be purchased according to the size of the hand of the lash artist. Tweezers with shorter handle should be purchased if the hand is smaller.

Larger hands should buy tweezers with slightly longer handles.

5) Edge [gap] : the distance between the two edges determines the strength of the elasticity. You should choose tweezers that are easy to open and close and feel soft.

6) Weight: the weight of the whole tweezers should be light, without extra effort.

04 The basics of tweezers

If the tweezers are held incorrectly, extra effort is put into the customer's forehead and the tweezers.

Also, a dangerous way to hold tweezers can cause a major accident.

There are pain points, temperature points, cold points, pressure points, and other sensory organs in the skin, and the number of them varies from place to place.

So if you're using tweezers with just a little bit of force, your skin can feel it.

When grafting eyelashes, the correct way to take tweezers:

1)     Open your hand, hold it in the handle of the tweezers, bend your fingers and exert a slight force. Your hand should be placed in the middle of the customer's forehead, but should not touch the customer's forehead.

2)      

If the finger joint of the lash artist touches the customer's forehead, it will make the customer very uncomfortable.

3) When eyelashes are grafted, the elbow should be placed on the bed (pillow) of the eyelash. The eyelash artist should not put her hand on the forehead of the customer, which will give the customer an uncomfortable feeling.

When the elbow of the lash artist has a point of strength on the pillow of the bed, it is not easy to shake when taking tweezers.

In addition, the armpit can also be clamped to stabilize the balance, can be more stable operation.

"It is very important for a lash artist to learn how to choose the right tweezers, which will affect your operation speed and efficiency. Fast and efficient can not only get good comments from customers, but also receive more and more customers in the same time and make more achievements.

A member customer request refund on her 16th visit to the store - The harm of malicious competition

Case share

The lash artist A & B, the two of them often quarrel over trifles，in front of the boss two people get along well, but in private, often secretly competitive.

One day, B was not feeling well and asked for leave temporarily. Just at that time, one of her regular customers came to the store to do eyelash extensions so the manager asked A to do it.

After the customer sits down, the eyelash artist A checks the eyelashes of the customer and then starts to remove them completely.

In the process of removing, there is a conversation like this.

A asks the customer voluntarily: "why do you choose B to do your eyelash extensions? She is a very ordinary one in our store."

The customer was surprised and said, "how come? The eyelashes she grafted on me are pretty firm."

 A is not happy and talks about the bad side of B.

And the customer also performance of impatience, not in response to her and keep asking how long can it be finished.

  

A month later, the customer came back, and B received her warmly.

The customer said, "There is an eyelash artist A in your shop said that your skill is not good and also scolded you a lot of things. Are you not on good terms with each other?"

B replied: "on the surface it is ok, personal relationship is very ordinary, maybe personality is not right."

Maybe the customer intentionally, or B be silly that day, they talked A lot on this topic and unexpectedly B speak ill a lot of A...

 After the B finished eyelashes on the customer, the customer directly returns the card.

A few days later, another friend of the customer also came to make a purchase, and then withdrew her card. The reason was that her friend told her that the store's malicious competition made the customers' experience very poor.

In this case, you may not understand the customer's final withdrawal of the card, but from an objective point of view, it is an accident (because of the words of A), but also an inevitable (because of B's attitude).

 On the surface, the personal small enmity between A and B is just A little thing, but it turns into a big tragedy through the carrier of customer.

This kind of malicious competition that leads to the loss of store profits must be avoided as far as possible.

What harm can malicious competition do?

01 From the perspective of the lash artists

1) Damage your image

Lash artists are basically young girls, looks simple, vibrant, this is to give customers the first impression, simple and beautiful.

Once the situation in the case occurs, the lash artists will tear each other down and retaliate against each other, which will make the customers disgusted and deeply discount the overall impression of the lash artist and no longer trust.

  2) Affect working status

Imagine two scenarios

Scene 1:

Four lash artists in a shop are busy when they are working and talking about operating techniques and promotion skills when they are resting.

At the end of the day, although the work is hard, but between the staff to cheer each other, we are happy, full of spirit, just like a family.

Scene 2:

In the same shop, there are four lash artists. A and B don't get along well with each other because of their performance. They seldom contact with each other except for normal work communication.

This led to the other two being cautious in communicating with them.

At the beginning of the weekly meeting, A and B often argue with each other, and competition is more important than cooperation. When seeing this situation, the other two lash artists seldom express their opinions, which seriously slows down the progress of the store.

02 From the customer's point of view

Poor customer experience

Customers may choose a shop for consumption because of its beautiful decoration style, convenient transportation and friends' introduction, but whether they will spend here for a long time is largely influenced by service experience.

Case study, at the beginning eyelash artist A at the time of operation for the customer, if the B know A behavior, can immediately adjust good mentality, to appease the customer first, and then put the customer's attention to the eyelash with related to the topic, or talk about, in a timely manner to resolve the customer's doubts, so even if the customer finally return card, but the shop is not too disgusted for her.

03 From the store's point of view

Bad news travels fast.

Products (technology) and services are important factors affecting store reputation and reputation.

In the daily operation of the store, the image of lash aritist is the image of the store, and the customer has a bad impression on the customer. The customer will judge the store as unprofessional and poor service in the first time, and will not advise his relatives and friends to consume in the past. The store's reputation cannot be good.

Competition is a good thing, the solution from inside advocate clerk for benign competition of the fair, but "nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards", every store needs a set of incentive shopkeepers rewards and punishment system, at the same time also need to guide the lash artist ways to use the right way, reward excellent solution but don't give up encouraging other lash artist who is making progress.
