9 reasons why you need eyelash extensions

 

Others say that there is always a reason for everything, but sometimes some things do not need a reason. For example, when I grafted eyelashes for the first time, I never thought of any reason. I just wanted to do eyelashes because I was curious. Of course, the result is very beautiful.

Here are nine reasons you will fall in love with eyelash extensions:

1. Wearing a mask can also look good

An epidemic has made wearing masks a daily habit. Cold air and haze are the bane of winter! Go out with a mask to cover most of the face, even you have a perfect face others cannot see it, but the beauty of the girl always have a way, you see, show the eyelash is enough, this is absolutely the face of the most bright spot.

2. Lighten your makeup bag for summer

Summer is the hot weather, plus makeup will make the skin feel thick, with beautiful eyelashes, no need to make up at any time! You can also pack fewer makeup items and simplify your makeup bag to keep you fresh in summer!

3. Enlarge your eyes and look good even without makeup

With simple eyelash extensions can maintain the beauty effect for 3-4 weeks, during which time girls will no longer have to worry about when taking selfies with their eyes wide open but still not getting the look they want. Can also get rid of the daily rouge gouache layer by layer "wrap" trouble, let the beauty come more natural.

4. Comprehensive waterproof, you can feel free even soak in the Spring or Sauna.

You'll never have to worry about showing your true colors again in winter by meeting up with a good friend for a sweat session, a sauna, or a family trip to a hot spring. As long as the eyelash glue is completely set, it will not only be waterproof, but also not afraid of eyelash loss, so that you can enjoy life.

5. Say goodbye to mascara and dry eyes

In winter, due to dry weather, the mascara applied at the root of eyelashes dries quickly. After the mascara covering the opening of the meibomian gland dries out, blocked foreign body of meibomian gland is formed, which obstructs its secretion function, ending up with dry eye syndrome? With beautiful eyelash extensions, say goodbye to mascara, naturally not afraid of dry eyes!

6. Hold the house at a party

In summer graduation season, a variety of parties have come, this respective show the beauty of the occasion, we cannot lose momentum, beautiful eyelashes can enlarge your eye advantage, let your eyes more spirit!

7. Make your lashes naturally longer, thicker and curler

Prefer longer, curvier eyelashes?？ Instead of using mascara and paste false lashes, it's easier to create proper curl with eyelashes grafted on, and you don't have to worry about flickering lashes. The most important thing is that the process is safe and comfortable, convenient and beautiful, and the more important thing it’s real& nature!

8. Reduce the time it takes to get up early and put on makeup every day to get enough beauty sleep

In the winter, when getting up depends on perseverance, are girls suffering from sleepiness, feeling like they can't get enough sleep? Eyelash extensions could be a blessing, freeing you up to get up in the morning and apply makeup, giving you an extra half an hour of beauty sleep in a warm bed and reducing "sleep deprivation."

 

9. You can still wear contact lenses without worrying about affecting your eyelashes

No matter how beautiful the eyes are and how long the eyelashes are, the frames of the glasses will be blocked by the thick glass. Therefore, the girls who love beauty like to wear contact lenses to highlight their eyes. Eyelash extensions can make your eyes more beautiful, also won't affect the contact lens.

How can I find a good eyelash shop near me?

 

This is OUR LASH.

 (A Guide to Hole Avoidance)

For consumers, it is simply too convenient to find a highly skilled shop close to home to do eyelash extensions, the most frequently asked question is: How to find a good eyelash salon near me? Though we’re located different areas, there’re some common guidelines we can share on how to find a reliable eyelash shop.

1. Check online for the best and most acclaimed eyelash shops in the area.

2. A well-regarded eyelash shop on the high street near your school or home.

3. If you want to have a good eyelash experience, it is recommended to choose specialized beauty shops rather than all-in-one service beauty shops.

By my count, there are three types of eyelash shops in the more prosperous districts:

First, national well-known brand chain stores;

Second, beauty and hairdressing in one;

Third, Small private street shop.

If you are experiencing eyelash extensions for the first time, I’ll recommend well-known brand chains. Although the price will be a little more expensive, this kind of shop eyelash salon is generally more experienced, you can get a custom professional and suitable design for your eyes, and later if the budget is not enough, you can go to the street small shop and continue the styles according to the professional eyelash design you paid。 Of course this is just a small suggestion.

The last thing I'd recommend is a all-in-one service beauty shop. Of course if you have a need for beauty itself, then the integrated store can be a market of its own.

Why not recommend one of those all-in-one beauty shops? Anyone who's ever been to one of those places knows that you can easily get sold and spend more money than you have budgeted for.

To sum up, this kind of store sales routine:

1. Understand your demand

From the moment you step into the store, every conversation they have with you is purposeful: Is this your first time here? Do you have your bank card with you? Do you live nearby? Where are you from? Do you usually do skin care?

2. Based on your answers, create anxiety, sell you products.

If your home is nearby, they will focus on you , deliberately magnify weaknesses to create anxiety, and then say we can help you solve this problem.

And then add some unnecessary services to you, in order to accumulate the amount in order to persuade you to buy a member card.

3. Finally, let you look at the difference between the member card before and after the discount with member card, envy, maybe an impulse to pay.

So be careful how you answer questions. Throughout the process, you should also be clear about your needs, and don't be led by the nose.

Next when you’re into such a shop, you can answer: Simply passing by, not often. I'm in a hurry. I just want eyelashes.

If you go into one of these stores, be sure to express your needs clearly and simply so that you don't have to be pushed for other services. And keep your needs in mind all the way. Don't be tricked into making other purchases, and avoid impulse purchases.

Finally, a little tip: don't go at night when the store is closing. The eyelash technician is also anxious to get off work. When they get anxious, your lashes need to calm down.

TOP 10 mistakes people make when applying eyelash extensions

 

Top 1 Graft eyelash extensions on those thin, soft real lashes

This is the most common problems that eyelash technicians are facing, when a customer’s natural lashes are soft and thin, that’s really a test of the skills of a lash technician.

When applying try to choose thick eyelashes to graft (do not choose the lashes with white roots which are in fall off period), If thin and soft eyelashes burden too heavy, will shorter the growth cycle of true eyelashes, lead to falling off earlier so true eyelashes will be less and less.

Top 2 Blind chase for speed glues

The eyelash extension glue is not the faster the better, choose the correct bond with your grafting speed is the best, so that can avoid the glue drying too fast in the grafting process and showing false adhesion, false adhesion will lead to eyelash extensions falling off soon after grafting.

Top 3 The eyelash extensions are applied too far from the root of natural lashes.

Because eyelashes are growing every day, if we graft too far from the roots, the real eyelash support is not enough, will lead to false eyelashes crooked, messy, or even fall off in advance. According to different eyelash conditions, leave around 0.5mm to 1.5mm to the root is the best distance.

Top 4 One piece of lash extensions is applied to more than one natural lash

If two natural lashes are connected together, no matter with lash extensions or not, people will feel quite uncomfortable and will keep rubbing eyes, so the eyelash extensions will be rubbed off, ending up in a waste of time and money. Lash technicians should practice more to make sure the natural lashes can be separated well with tweezers.

Top 5 More than one piece of lash extensions are applied to one natural lash

If natural eyelash are applied with too many false eyelash extensions, natural eyelash burden will be too heavy, pressure eyelash and block eyes, easy to cause customers frequent rubbing, poor firmness and comfort. So make sure to apply one false eyelash extensions to one natural lash to avoid possible problems.

Top 6 Apply eyelash extensions to eyelids instead of lashes

The eyelash adhesive is chemical, direct contact with the skin can cause allergy, swelling, suppuration and other problems. In severe cases, it can cause skin sensitivity, after which eyelashes cannot be grafted any more. This is very important and it is the mistake you can’t make.

Top 7 The grafting is too close to the root of natural lash

If apply to the root distance is too close, the root of the false eyelash is easy to touch the eyelid, there is a foreign body sensation and poor comfort. The closer the true eyelashes are to the tip, the smaller they are, and the less supportive they are. Conversely, the root of the true eyelashes is the hardest and thickest, and the most supportive. Always remember to attach 0.5mm to 1.5mm from the roots of natural lash.

Top 8 Wrong grafting direction

The wrong direction of grafting will lead to the overall messy and unattractive; when grafting, always keep the eyelash tip facing the eyelash technicians.

Top 9 Too much or too less adhesives cause the apply is not firm enough

False adhesion is not strong enough; the grafted eyelashes will fall out in a short period of time. As lash technician, we must practice more and more to grasp the correct amount of glues in different eyelash works.

Top 10 Only take customer requirements without considering the actual situation

As a professional lash technician, we must design the lash extensions according to customer’s eye shapes, face type, eyelash conditions and other actual situation, if customer request a false eyelash extension type that not suits herself, we must give professional advice or at least tell her the possible adverse consequences.

 

That’s all. This is Our Lash, if you have other questions about eyelash extension wholesale, please contact with us.

The eyelash extension tips on corner of eye (canthus of eyes)

 

We all know that eyelash extension is not easy work, among the whole process of grafting the most headaches position is the canthus of eyes.

The eyelashes in the canthus are not only soft, short, and easy to cross each other, so it is more difficult to fit but easier to fall off.

If you graft eyelashes to canthus in the same operation as lashes in the middle, later you will find the tip of the lashes crossed, or the two ends of the graft eyelashes are easy to wobble in the next day and so on. Why is canthus of eyes so difficult to graft?

The first is the problem of grafting gesture.

As the position of the graft changes, your hand gestures and support points should also change slightly.

The second is the processing of the fitting position.

Canthus eyelashes have their own growth direction, when grafting eyelashes, hair tip orientation position also need to be processed, no matter what kind of eyelash extensions you’re working, you must make sure that eyelash hair tip final orientation position is the eye head; again, the tail of the eye is towards the tail of the eye.

The third is the eyelashes’ different characteristics of inner & outer canthal region.

The eyelashes of canthus are thin and short, and they cannot bear too much weight. Therefore, compared with other parts, they are easy to fall off.

What are some tips when grafting canthus of eyes?

First, in the selection of eye patches, choose a thin one.

First of all, it is necessary to pay attention to the selection of eye pads, not too thick, otherwise the position of the eye head is easy to touch the true eyelashes, and finally the glue and eyelashes are also easy to stick to the eye patches, choose thin eye stickers to gently lift the eyelids of inner eye canthus to let the eyelashes show out.

Second: Change grafting gesture

The inner and outer sides of canthus is oriented differently from the middle part, so when grafting, we should learn to sideways of the hand gesture, along the direction of the hair tip.

Third, learn to change the direction of false eyelash tips.

In addition to changing your hand gestures, try changing the orientation of the tips of your false eyelashes.

When grafting inner canthus, take false eyelash at 1/3 position, pull out a larger Angle to the right, and then take it down to form a back open Angle, so that the inner corner is not only good fit, fan open Angle will be very nice as well.

When grafting outer canthus, the tail of the grafted eye need to be pulled to the left at a larger Angle, which will make it easier to fit the tail of the eye, and the hair peak will be opened to the left, creating a fan-shaped shape with this method.

In short, the central idea of canthus grafting is that the grafting direction of the inner side of eye is towards the inner side, and the direction of the outer canthus is towards the outer side.

Nail separation reasons

 

We often heard of some complains that their manicure is easy to warping and separation, which is really annoyed. Today Our Lash will talk about some of the most common issues to look out for when you do nail cosmetology.

 

Common reasons of manicure tip warping:

1) If the edge of the nail is not done well, the fingertip will easily fall off after several times of opening the can or peeling oranges.

2) The nail itself is thin and soft, after contact with water it’ll be softer while the glue is hard, so the toughness is not enough, when the nail is bent, the nail polish glue will split from the middle part of the bend, thus falling.

3) The glue is too thick, the inside is not dry, and the adhesion to the nail is not enough;

4) There is no match between glue and glue, especially when soft glue meets hard glue, the front end is easy to fall off; Hard glue can be understood as the glue with insufficient toughness, and soft glue on the contrary.

 

Common reasons for unwarping of the back end of the manicure:

 

1) There’re dusts or grease on the surface of the nail, easy to make the subsequent glue and nail surface separated;

 

2) The polish of natural nail is not enough, just casually polish the nail surface but ignore the surface around, may not have enough adsorption force for the subsequent glue;

3) The glue applied to the skin will be separated from the skin, easy to lead to warping;

 

Common causes of bottom glue drop:

1) Engraving grinding is not enough, some places are not polished, and resulting in the glue and nail cannot fully fit;

2) The cleaning is not enough, there is grease, moisture or impurities on the nail surface will lead to nail oil glue cannot fit the nail, there will be shrinkage glue falling;

3) Not apply nail polish on edges or painted beyond nails;

4) Light time is not enough, the standard light time is LED light 60 seconds, UV light 120 seconds, but the nature of the product is different, for reference only!

 

Common causes of nail polish glue (whole piece) dropping:

1) There are impurities on the bottom glue;

2) The bottom glue is not dry; The coating is too thick, which leads to the light when it is not dry, or the thickness of the coating is uneven, and some places are dry and some places are not;

3) The bottom glue used is different from the nail polish glue brand, resulting in rejection;

4) No edges or painted beyond nails.

Design eyelash extension for clients

 

What should be taken into consideration when design eyelashes for a customer? - OUR LASH

 

Eyelashes, which seem to be just a tiny part of hair, are really, really important in our facial makeup! Just like doing eyelash extension is not just simply attach false eyelashes to real lashes, in fact, it is a very high technical requirements of beauty technology, need to design according to the need of eye shape, eyelash curl degree and hair and eyebrow color to carry on the professional design!

So what should be taken into consideration when lash technicians carry on a professional design for customer?

 

First consider the following situations:

 

1. The quality of customer’s own eyelashes

Some girls' lashes are sparse and soft, but when they choose lash extensions, they prefer thick and hard long lashes, and request two or three false lashes attached in one real eyelash. Obviously the coming out effect is not natural, and it is easy to crush the real lashes.

Only one false eyelash is attached to one real eyelash is better. Depending on the number of lashes you have, 120 to 140 are the best. Keep the number of binocular grafts within this range for the most natural results.

2. Consider customer’s professional identity

Though being beautiful is your own business, if you're a flight attendant, imagine how your passengers will react to your exaggerated false eyelashes? For some special professions, such as stewardess, it is better to choose the natural type.

3. People who often wear heavy makeup should think carefully

It says that some specific professions are not suitable for thickening eyelashes, but on the contrary, other professions, such as circus performers and performing artists, often require heavy makeup to achieve artistic effect. Why should they seriously consider thickening eyelashes?

Given how often these people have to put on and remove makeup, and how often they toss around, the eyelashes can easily be damaged. And because the characters don't necessarily need thick, long eyelashes, sometimes it's difficult to remove them just after grafting.

 

In addition to not blindly pursuing dense, we should also pay attention to the following four points when choosing eyelashes:

 

1.       Length: 9mm-14mm, designed to fit customer’s natural eyelashes.

 

2.      Curling shape: the most suitable shape for natural eyelashes. The over-curling simulation eyelashes are difficult to maintain for a long time, not natural enough and slightly exaggerated.

 

3.      Gloss: Some customer like matte lashes while some like shiny options, but too shiny will show plastic feelings so proper gloss is better.

 

4.Thickness:0.03mm,0.05mm,0.07mm,0.10mm,0.15mm,0.20mm... and so on.

Eyelash extensions have a variety of styles, thickness, length and curls, as many as dozens of matching available for customers to choose, a full range of personalized requirements to meet different customers.

 

Before eyelash grafting, we can communicate with the customer on eyelash curl types and lengths to decide, choose the correct curl, length and thickness according to the state of the eye contour and customer’s natural lash states and give proper & professional suggestions to customers.

Top 5 myths about lash extensions

 

Eyelash extension is an increasingly popular beauty technique. More and more advanced SPAS, salons, beauty centers and nail salons are providing eyelash grafting services.

But what do you really know about eyelash extensions? Our Lash will talk about this.

Understanding the relevant knowledge of eyelash grafting, you can see the misunderstanding; have the ideal eyelash grafting experience.

Myth 1: Can eyelash extensions maintain 3 months above?

- NO!

If any eyelash technician tells you that your eyelashes will last longer than three months, take heed.

Any claim that eyelash extensions can last an extra-long time or even permanently is not credible.

Normally, how long the eyelash will last depends, 30% on the artist's technique, 30% on the quality of the lashes and glue used, and 40% on the individual's after care.

Under normal circumstances, the state of eyelash after grafting is maintained for about 28 days.

Myth 2: Why only a month or so?

Because every hair in the human body has a growth cycle, eyelashes will fall off and renew with the growth period, degradation period, rest period and then, so the grafted eyelashes will fall off with the renewal of their own eyelashes.

But it doesn't matter, because our own eyelash renewal is regular, will not appear the situation of hair removal at the same time, so about 1 month you need to go back to the salon for a supplement can continue to keep beautiful.

Proper personal maintenance, such as not using eye makeup (in fact, the grafted lashes already have a good eye makeup effect), applying professional eyelash growing solution, not rubbing your lashes, and brushing your lashes regularly, can also make your eyelashes last longer.

Myth 3:Eyelash extensions don't need professional training ?

--NO!

Eyelash extension is a highly technical beauty technique in which individual eyelashes are bonded to the user's own eyelashes.

Each eyelash needs to be accurately grafted about 0.5mm-1mm away from the root of its own eyelash. This process requires very skilled and professional technology.

Many women who have done eyelash extensions must have deep experience, not professional, not standard grafting techniques, will make you feel very uncomfortable in the process of grafting.

And if the lash technician's grafting technique is not standard, the lashes after grafting will not last long.

Myth 4: The use of mink hair and other products on the market are qualified animal hair?

--NO!

Many businesses use mink hair and other beauty products are unqualified animal hair.

Beauty eyelash products made of animal hair must go through very strict hygiene and safety disinfection treatment, all related products are tested by international safety standards, so in addition to the use of other eyelashes more comfortable, but also more safe and healthy.

Be careful if you come across cheap, unbranded, or cluttered eyelashes. These products may have been designed to cut costs without strict treatment, so don't try them.

Myth 5: The eyelash extensions all feel the same, correct?

--NO!

Compared with the one-time paste of false eyelashes, the characteristic of eyelash extension is that each eyelash is professionally grafted by lash technician.

 

 

Eyelashes have many styles, many radians, many thicknesses, many lengths, many colors and up to dozens of matching options for customers to choose from, fully meet the individual requirements of different customers.

So the effect of eyelash extension is not uniform, but according to the characteristics of each customer tailored design.

After grafting, you can have flashing, beautiful, individual beauty eyelashes effect for 24 hours!

One-time false eyelashes are not as flexible as eyelash extensions, and the fall off “caterpillar” awkward won’t exist again.
