A complete procedure for eyelash extensions

 

Today Our Lash would like to share with you the complete operation steps of doing eyelash extensions. I hope it’ll be a little helpful to new eyelash technicians or the girls who’re going to do lash extensions but want to know more about eyelash extensions in advance.

Step 1: Get ready for disinfection and tools.

The first thing we should do is disinfect, after the customer lies down, put the towel on the customer's forehead to cover the customer's eyebrows to prevent contact with customers' skin.

Before operation, we should first use disinfectant to sterilize our own hands, and then the tools will be used in the following process.

During the infection lash technician can talk with customers, which can increase the relationship between each other as well as showing the customers the lash technician’s own aesthetics, impress & relax the customer, the following works will be easier to go on.

Step 2: Clean the eyelash extensions and take care of them.

Clean and remove the dirt on the false eyelashes to ensure that the eyelashes are clean, so as not to affect the adhesion of the glue of the subsequent grafting eyelashes.

Clean each real eyelash carefully, then cut the tapes according to the shape of eyes and stick it under the eye (mainly to prevent glue sticking to the skin).

Step 3: Segregation upper and lower eyelash

Cut a suitable size of isolation film (medical tape, eye mask, eye sticker) and separate the upper and lower lashes. This can avoid mixing the upper and lower lashes (Mixing will cause the glue of the grafted lashes to stick to the lashes without grafting or eyelids)

Step 4: Straighten out customer’s real eyelash

Use an eyelash comb or tweezers to straighten out lashes one by one so that false lashes can be glued to customer’s lashes one by one.

Step 5: Prepare lash extensions for the customer

According to the length of the customer's eyelashes, choose suitable lashes of different lengths you’ll use for your design and combine all length lines on the lash pallet. False eyelashes are glued on the original eyelashes one (one piece or one fan) by one, and can match different lengths according to the radian and length of their eyelashes.

Step 6: Start grafting eyelashes

Eyelash attachment can cause a little nervous because the pointed tweezers work on the eyelids, but if the customer's eyelids are tight, it can cause problems for the grafted eyelashes, so try to relax the customer and then graft one by one:

1. Shake the glue to shake up the minerals;

2. Squeeze appropriate amount of glue on the glue tray, take less glue each time, but take glue frequently.

3. Grab the end of the eyelash with tweezers, dip about 2/3 of the root into the glue, and then gently pull it out.

4. The eyelash that stuck glue sticks to the flank of true eyelash, stick about 0.5mm--1mm from the root, cannot exceed 1.5mm.

5 .Each false eyelash is grafted onto a real one.

6. At least two thirds of the length of your eyelashes is adhered to the false eyelashes, and the curve of the grafted eyelashes should be consistent.

7. Keep the grafted lashes away from the next lashes to avoid sticking to each other.

Step 7: Check the finished lash designs

After grafting, clean it again with an eyelash brush to detect whether the adhesion is firm. If there is shedding or grafting is not satisfactory, it needs to be repaired and trimmed.

Step 8: Dry eyelashes

Use an eyelash fan blowing eyelash for 5-10 minutes until it is not dazzling after opening an eye.

However, it takes about half an hour for the glue to dry out. During this time, sensitive customers may shed tears. Lash technicians should explain to customers that it’s normal occasions and rest for a while until the glues dry out she will feel better.

Step 9: Clean eyelids

Remove the cling film from the lower eyelid and wipe the lower eyelid with a paper towel or dry cotton swab.

This is just the general process, in practice there’re more details should be pay attention to, and only with a lot of practices can a lash technician become qualified and professional.

How to answer lash extension questions

 

A lot of eyelash technicians have encounter customers ask all kinds of questions, how should you answer to let them rest assured and at ease with their eyelash extensions?

Today, Our Lash will pick a few frequently asked questions to teach you to answer!

1. Does it pain to do eyelash extensions?

Answer: the process of grafting eyelash won't have painful feeling commonly. Grafting eyelashes is just to stick the false eyelashes one by one to your natural eyelashes, will not contact eyelids or eyes; very few people will feel slight itching when their eyes are not closed well or eyes are more sensitive, but not the feeling of pain.

2. Will it hurt the real eyelashes?

A true eyelash can only receive one false eyelash, no "overweight”, no problem.

The most important principle for eyelash extensions is: a true eyelash receives a false eyelash only. “A false eyelash” means one piece of individual lash extensions or one cluster of volume fans.

When applying, we cannot stick false eyelashes to real eyelash root directly, we’ll stay the distance of about 0.5mm to make sure it won't stimulate hair bursa, cause sensitive or hinder eyelash growth.

3. How long can my lash extensions last?

The answer is 6-8 weeks and tt has to be refilled every month or so.

False eyelash is stick to real eyelashes, so it will fall off together with real lashes in about two months as per the real lashes’ growth cycle, 3-4 pieces falling every day is normal, normally after a month half of the lashes will fall off, it’s better to do a refill at this time to keep the best status of your eyelash extensions.

 

4. The more you grafted the better?

According to the amount of native eyelash, about 120~140 pieces is best for an eyelash finish.

Most of us are born with around 120-140 pieces of eyelashes(double eyes), because one true eyelash can only receive one false eyelash, so we control the total amount of false eyelashes within this limits, the effect of the finished eyelashes are the best. If the number exceeded, it’s easy to bring about original eyelash fracture, the gain outweighs the loss.

5. If after a few days, I feel my grafting eyelashes are not good, how to do?

You can come back to our shop, we’ll use special remover to discharge your false eyelashes, and then besmear some maintains to promote the growth of your own eyelashes.

 

6. What should I do if my eyelash extensions are messed up?

Just comb it open with an eyelash brush.

When wake up, through all night roll the eyelash extensions can become particularly messy, just use an eyelash brush to comb it several times can make eyelash restore original neat.

It's important to keep it light so you don't brush your lashes off.

 

In addition to answering customers' questions, in fact, many eyelash technicians will also encounter a lot of problems, if not solved, the works for customers will not look good, and customers will not be satisfied.

If you want to become a professional eyelash technician, you should have professional knowledge as well as exquisite skills. If your skills are not good, then be sure to practice well from the basics.

Is eyebrow tattoos bad for you? - OUR LASH

 

This is OURLash.

A good eyebrow shape is particularly important for a woman, especially for the women’s own brows in lighter colors.

However, a lot of people may not be able to draw eyebrows properly, which will make their whole makeup look even worse, so they will want to have their eyebrows tattooed.

This can save a lot of time for us to draw eyebrows in the morning, but also a little sleep in, but does eyebrow tattoo really can once and for all?

It is suggested that before you go to tattoo eyebrows, you must first look at these four points for attention, otherwise too late to regret!!

 

1. Eyebrow technician’s techniques cannot be verified, you never know what the finished brow will look like.

Now eyebrow technicians’ handling level is uneven. If you meet a novice tattoo artist for practice, it's not worth the trouble to get a thick, ugly eyebrow that doesn't match you at all. So be sure to choose a regular beauty agency and experienced tattoo technician.

 

2. Safety risks

Eyebrow tattoo’s hidden trouble in security also cannot be ignored, many shops use some bad chemicals in order to profit more. In the process of eyebrow tattoo, these chemicals will seeped into our skin, thus forming chemical residues, causing damage to our health. What’s more, if in the process of operating the brow technician carelessly makes the potion into eyes, it’ll cause irreversible damage. There may even be the risk of allergy and blindness, and if the tattoo is not handled properly, there is a hidden danger of re-infection, which will affect the whole person's face.

 

3. After the brow tattoos, eyebrow is fixed, it is not easy to make up behind the fixed makeup.

I believe that many female friends who have had their eyebrows tattooed feel that once their eyebrows are tattooed, the state of their eyebrows is fixed.

It’s very hard to change them when you want to change a different style, and even when you want to modify it, it may make your whole makeup become uglier, for example you want to wear a campus style today so want to do a younger style makeup, at this point you will find that the original eyebrows cannot be changed any more.

If you're fixated on changing your eyebrows, chances are they'll look ugly, take longer, and still look ugly.

 

4. Brow fashion cycle

Now a permanently brow tattoo generally can keep two to three years, as the trend changes faster and faster now, you can't make sure whether your tattoo eyebrow has always been popular, and the most unwilling things for women is to make themselves look backward, so when they want to change eyebrows they have to wash eyebrow throgh the professional way or let it fall off naturally.

 

The above two weaknesses can be avoid by doing a lot of research before you get started, and the last two weaknesses need you think twice before you determined to do brow tattoos. In short, it will not be plain sailing on the way to become beautiful. I hope you can sharpen your eyes and choose carefully.

Emergency plan after eyelash extensions

 

Emergency plan of red and swollen eyes after eyelash extensions

Our Lash has summed up the changes of eyes in the next 6 hours after grafting according to years of experience of eyelash technicians. You can compare your own situation and provide professional emergency solutions to customers according to the degree of redness and swelling of customers.

 

Within 30min to 1 hour after grafting

The eyes may be as red as tears from the pressure of the grafting process and the irritation of the glue, but that's all.

There will not be continuous tears, pain, itching and swelling, so you can ask customers to wait for 15-30 minutes in the store until eyes back to normal before leaving.

One to five hours after grafting

1)    If the red eyes do not subside in time and there is no pain and swelling phenomenon, you need to go to the pharmacy to buy similar "levofloxacin eye drops", relieve it.

2)   The eyes are sore and shed tears from time to time or all the time, but there is no swelling. It may be because after grafting, rubbing causes eyelashes to become warped and poke the eyes, so you can immediately check whether there are warped eyelashes at the root of the eyelashes. If not, go to the store to confirm the condition of the eyes and consider whether to remove them.

3)   If swollen appears in this time period, it is recommended to remove eyelashes!

After 6 hours of grafting

Red, swollen, itching, pain, tears, 5 phenomena together appear, or appear 1-2 kinds of situations, do not wait until after the night, immediately remove! There's no other solution, get rid of it.

 

Instead of spending time and efforts on grafting and removal, the best solution is to nip it in the bud. So it’s necessary for lash extension technicians to know below (eyelash extension suppliers):

1. Learn about allergies and allergens

Allergy itself is a random and highly individual event, related to products, tools, techniques, maintenance, weather, and even the physical state of the day.

The more direct cause of eyelash extensions may be: eyelash removal products, metal tweezers, adhesive tape, glue and so on.

2. Ask customers about their physical condition before the test

In the grafting eyelash industry, the most easily to be ignored by the lash technician of the links: one is clean; the second is the inquiry before grafting.

Ask customers whether there is a history of allergy, eye disease, eye problems, eye discomfort…and so on. The inquiry before grafting is both professional and avoids unnecessary results.

3. Test whether the customer is allergic

Treatment is inferior to prevent first, the test is to prevent allergy the first step!

Scratch test: Scratch a mark on the inside of your arm with your fingernail. If the mark disappears quickly and there is no trace, it indicates that you are not susceptible to allergies. If the scratch does not disappear quickly and becomes red and raised, we should be grafted carefully.

Tape test: Tape the inside of your arm. (Some people are allergic to duct tape)

Note: It is the same as the sebum test in the hospital, why the inner arm is selected, because the pulse area is also a thin part of the skin, which is equivalent to the eyelid area.

Nowadays consumer not only just goes after beauty, but also goes after comfortable and natural. If the product and technology are not up to standard, customers certainly do not want to patronize again!

What to do after getting lash extensions

 

What follow-up examinations should be done after eyelash extensions

As a professional eyelash artist, when the grafting process is completed, there is a series of follow-up work, until to ensure that there is no problem before the completion of an eyelash extensions grafting.

So, after the completion of the grafting process, what follow-up work should eyelash technician do?

(lash extension trays wholesale)

1. Check whether the lashes are fan-shaped.

Because the style of grafting eyelashes must conform to the customers' eye type, and the shape of the eyelashes after grafting must be fan-shaped, otherwise it will affect the effect of the finish set, or even the whole eyelash grafting is a failure.

If the shape of the grafted eyelashes does not meet the requirements, adjust the shape of the eyelashes as soon as possible before the glue dries completely.

2. Check whether the length of the lashes on both sides is in harmony.

If the lashes on both sides are not coordinated, it is necessary to adjust them in time. The coordination of lashes on both sides is the best state of an eyelash extension set.

3. Check whether there’s any separate false eyelash sticks onto several real eyelashes.

If it is found that a false eyelash sticks to several natural lashes, it is necessary to separate the lashes in time so as not to stick to other lashes that do not fall off.

4. Check to see if there are any lashes falling off.

If there is a place where eyelashes fall off, it is necessary to repair them in time to make the eyelash extension finish better.

5. Use the eyelash brush to comb the eyelashes 3-4 times, if there is any fall off eyelashes, stick again.

Finally, after making sure that there are no more lashes falling off, apply the upper and lower lashes with the coating agent.

6. After all the inspection, blow with a hair dryer for more than 1 minute and dry the glue.

7. After drying with a hair dryer, drop 2 drops of eye drops on the customer's eyes, and then let the customer roll the eyeball 2-3 times, so that the customer's eyes adapt to the normal rotation.

Usually the grafting process will last for 1 to 2 hours, in this period customer may fall sleep, when open eyes some customers will appear hyperemia phenomenon, which is not the sequela of grafting, but the common phenomenon that people do not enter deep sleep and maintain the state of pseudo sleep.

8. Dry the lashes again with a hair dryer.

9. After all operations, wait for more than 1 minute to remove the tape.

10. Let customers slowly open their eyes and confirm their changing appearance through the mirror.

11. To teach customers the after-care skills in details, and clearly tell customers that grafting eyelashes are semi-permanent, generally only able to maintain 4-8 weeks, if they want to keep eyelashes better, they need to come back every 2-3 weeks for a repair.

Recruitment requirements for eyelash technician

 

Eyelash industry is a relatively high mobility of the industry, we have heard a lot of complains that why is it so difficult to recruit a suitable eyelash technician for the shop?

If you ever wonder the requirements for a suitable & qualified eyelash technician, let’s follow the 3 points below:

1. Professional quality

All walks of life need to have the relevant professional literacy, beauty industry is natural so.

1) Strong sense of responsibility

The nature of the work of eyelash technician requires them to have a strong sense of responsibility.

2) Unusual patience

You could say that any job requires patience, but it is more important for a lash technician. The following three points are enough to illustrate.

First, the long working hours.

Each eyelash extension work takes about two hours (eyelash extension factory)

Second, the repetitive work content.

When grafting eyelashes, it is necessary to graft false eyelashes on true eyelashes one by one, with a single eye of about 40-50 roots and high repetition.

Third, the nature of the work.

The work of lash technician needs to pay more attention to details, and should be carried out strictly in accordance with the steps.

For example, before grafting without asking the sensitive situation of the customer's eyes, there may be sudden eye swelling in grafting;

For example, when grafting without careful cleaning eyelashes, the firmness of late eyelashes will be reduced;

All these need to have more patience than others, especially in the communication with customers, in operation process, and usual skills in practice.

2. The comprehensive quality

1) Good eyesight

Due to the work nature, the lash technician has a high degree of concentration and often needs to use eyes with high intensity, so her eyesight must be good. In the following two situations, the shop needs to consider carefully.

First, cannot see things clearly, when small things especially hard, lack of vision;

Second, eyes are easy to fatigue, cannot adhere to more than 3-4 hours;

2) No eye diseases

Eye problems are generally not recommended as candidates with poor eyesight.

First, trachoma, affected by the surrounding temperature and seasonal factors will dance tears and so on;

Second, presbyopia, some people especially physical or genetic factors, presbyopia will advance, advance time varies;

Third, other eye diseases, such as color blindness and flies disease;

Fourth, special attention, for candidates with myopia, astigmatism, night blindness and other cases, can be recommended through surgery and other ways to correct;

3. Basic operation quality

1) Hands should not shake

Hand shaking is mainly divided into physiological hand shaking and pathological hand shaking.

In the early practice process, there are 3 to 7 days of remission period, during the irregular hand shaking, shaking amplitude is small, after the remission period, hand shaking disappeared, and it is normal and belongs to the physiological type of hand shaking.

If the period of remission has passed and the hands are still shaking, there may be a problem, which may be pathological, medically called "tremor".

Hands are especially important for the work of a lash technician, so if it is pathological hand shaking, normally speaking, it is definitely not suitable for the one to be a qualified lash technician.

2) The operation should be steady and light

In addition to outstanding service, technology and other aspects, the same characteristic is almost no feeling in the operation process, customers feel particularly comfortable, and the whole process is in a very secure state.

So in cold weathers it’s better to choose more gentle color makeups.

Taboo 2: Use expired products

Expired products contain a lot of bacteria and harmful substances, which will be extremely harmful to sensitive skins. We should pay more attention to the cosmetics that are not frequently used, remember not to use expired cosmetics. Other than that, we should also pay attention to below:

1)      Tighten the cap after use;

2)      Avoid digging with your fingers;

3)     After repacking, do not pour back to avoid premature deterioration caused by contamination

Taboo 3: Overweight lipsticks

Labial ministry is easy to dry crack, so we should avoid to use lasting lipstick which can cause excessive dry, it’s suggested to convert into the lip gloss with higher moist.

Taboo 4: Crazy filling powder

Apply moisturizing lotion before applying makeup, then apply another layer after absorption, and finally apply foundations and makeups, this will be helpful in moisturize.

Taboo 5: Glitter foundation makeup products can keep out the condition that holds allergy

No, they won’t but bring you allergy. Glitter products like loose powders, blusher and eye shadows are designed to refraction light, contain the powdery grain normally, when brushing on skin will increase friction easily and bring about stimulation, when we’re in allergenic periods we should temporarily stop using such products.

Taboo 6: Abuse perfume

Avoid products that smell too good or have an alcoholic flavor, and reduce exposure to harsh chemical flavors or volatile alcohol.

Taboo 7: Use inferior color makeup product

Color makeup grain is too thick also can increase stimulation feeling, when choosing makeups we can pour different brand powders in the back of the hand. Delicate touch and stick skin well powders are usually fine particles, less stimulation. 

Taboo 8: Excessive cleaning

When skin is allergic, it’s better to make light makeup. After removing makeup, wash thoroughly with mild cleaning products, such as: containing amino acid foaming agent, soap-free, neutral, fragrance and color free. But do not wash too much.

Taboo 9: In winter ultraviolet ray is still intense, so choose a High factor sunscreen cream.

Sensitive skin should temporarily stop using sunscreen with a high coefficient of SPF50 or above to prevent the chemical sunscreen from accelerating irritation.
