LASH TYPES & BENIFITS INDIVIDUAL LASHES - 1 LASH ON EVERY LASH. WHETHER YOU WANT GLAM OR NATURAL YOU CAN CREATE A PERSONALISED LOOK.THESE DONT TAKE ASLONG LONG TO PERFORM BUT THEY NEED REGULAR MAINTENCE. HYBRID LASHES - MIX OF INDIVUDAL & FAN LASHES. THIS TAKES THE BEST PARTS OF BOTH TREATMENTS. HYBRIDS GIVE YOU VOLUME & LENGTH RESULTING IN A WISPEY, TEXTURED LASH EXTENSIONS LOOK. THIS IS ALSO THEN QUICKER THAN DOING A FULL SET OF RUSSIANS. RUSSIAN LASHES - ULTRA FINE FAN LASHES EITHER PRE MADE OR PRO MADE USUALLY MADE UP WITH MULTIPLE LASHES ON ONE LASH, USUALLY 2-6. BECAUSE THEY ARE FINER YOU CAN APPLY MORE LASHES TO EACH NATURAL LASH. THESE WILL GIVE A DRAMATIC, VOLUME LOOK.
PRICES REMEMBER TO DO YOUR RESEARCH IN YOUR LOCAL AREA AS BIG CITIES WILL CHARGE MORE THAN SMALLER TOWNS. THIS IS A ROUGH GUIDE LINE ON WHAT TO CHARGE.

L A S H S HA P E S WHEN TRAINING IN LASH EXTENSIONS YOU WILL LEARN THE LASH CURLS AND WHICH SHAPE WOULD FIT BEST. THESE ARE A GOOD BASIS TO LOOK OUT FOR AS THIS WILL GIVE YOU A CLEARER UNDERSTANDING ON WHICH CURL TO USE. IN YOUR CONSULTATION YOU MUST DECIDE IF YOUR CLIENTS LASHES ARE ONE OF THREE SHAPES AND LENGTHS. THIS WILL HELP YOU DECIDE ON A J,B,C OR D CURL! J CURL- STRAIGHT CURL B CURL - MEDIUM CURL C CURL - VERY CURLY D CURL - DRAMATIC LIFT AND CURL USUALLY WHEN OFFERING RUSSIAN LASHES WE WOULD RECOMMEND YOU USE A C CURL OR D CURL AS THESE WILL GIVE THE MOST DRAMATIC LOOK.
LASH APPLICATION STYLES THE MOST POPULAR STYLE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE SHORTER LASHES IN THE INNER AND FANNING OUT TO LONGER.
CURL, LENGTH & THICKNESS C CURL & D CURL ARE THE MOST POPULAR CURLS TO HAVE WITH VOLUME LASHES OUR TRAYS COME IN 2 ROWS EACH OF 9/10/11/12/13/14/15 O.7/0.10 DO NOT USE ANY THICKER LASHES THAN 0.10 IF YOU ARE CREATING FANS, AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE NATURAL LASHES.
VOLUME FANS 2D/3D/4D/5D/6D ANYTHING OVER 6D WILL BE CONSIDERED MEGA VOLUME LASHES. THESE SHOULD NOT BE OFFERED UNTILL YOU ARE SUPER CONFIDENT AND HAVE HAD FUTHER TRAINING.
Narrow volume fans VS wide mega fans Your lash sets can be customised based on the type of fan you create. A narrow fan will have less space between the lashes where as creating a wide fan will mean there is more space between each lash. Narrow - To begin with you will mainly create 3D-4D narrow fans to form. as it involves less. pinching, meaning the lashes do not. move. as much, so denying them the oppitunity to fan out wider. These are prefect to create a darker more dense lash line. Wide mega volume - These will give you a much fuller dramtic look as you will have more lashes and they will be more spread apart. Using an angled tweezer will really help to manipulate your fans into place.
Eye Lash Adhesives We have two types of lash adhesives. You would pick the one that is most appropriate for your speed. If you take longer to apply the lashes you will want to use the glue that is slower drying to begin with but as you get quicker you will want to use the faster glue for instant bonding to the natural lash. That being said, we would recommend the Pro max lash glue for Russian sets of lashes. Pro Premium Lash glue - 3-4 seconds drying Pro Max Lash glue - 1-2 seconds drying Ensure when using these glues the room is not to warm and are well ventilated as this can cause the glue to set. quicker.
TIPS & TRICKS OF THE PERFECT FAN
Never release your tweezer and your pinch at the same time. Never rely on pinch and hold your fan in place, always rely on your tweezer. to hold your fans it has the tightest grip. Your pinch should. never be too tight as it will ruin your fan, less is more! Be patient! Making perfect volume fans requires patience and time. You shouldn't try to speed up the process.
PATCH TEST Please check with your insurance provider what they require you do for a patch test as every provider may be different. As precaution to a potential reaction, please ensure a patch test is carried out 24-48 hours prior to their appointment. Ensure you have applied 2/4 lashes to outer corner of the eye. Advise client, if a reaction arises, that they must remove the lashes as quick as possible and seek medical advise. Signs of a reaction maybe, Redness, swelling, itching, irritation or discomfort. It is still possible to have a reaction after a full set of lashes due to a larger amount being used. Allergies can occur at any time with out. warning if they are a regular lash wear. If this happens, remove gently with a remover & avoid applying lashes for at least 6 months and advice medical. advise.
RELEVANT ANATOMY PHYSIOLOGY THE EYE IS MADE UP OF A SEMI CLEAR GEL CALLED V I T R E O U S H U M O U R, W H I C H G I V E S T H E E Y E I T S S H A P E AND KEEPS STRUCTURE SUCH AS THE RETINA IN PLACE. EACH PART OF THE EYE HAS ITS FUNCTIONS AND PURPOSE. WHEN CARRYING OUT TREATMENTS TO THE EYE IT IS IMPORTANT TO ENSURE AN EFFECTIVE COMFORTABLE AND SAFE TREATMENT IS CARRIED OUT. REMEMBER THE SKIN IS MUCH THINNER AND CAN EASILY BECOME IRRITATED AND SUSCEPTIBLE TO ALLERGIC REACTIONS. WHEN TREATING THE LASHES BE CAREFUL NOT TO APPLY THE EYE LASH PADS TOO CLOSE THAT THEY SCRATCH THE EYE AS THIS COULD CAUSE THEM TO BE RED AT THE END OF TREATMENT.
LASH CYCLE – ANAGEN, CATAGEN, TELOGEN WE HAVE 3 STAGES OF THE LASH HAIR GROWTH CYCLE. ON AVERAGE LOOSE 2-6 LASHES EACH DAY, WITH A LASH CYCLE THAT LASTS AROUND 22 DAYS. WHEN TREATING CLIENTS WITH LASH EXTENSIONS, YOU WILL FIND THAT THEIR LASHES WILL BE ALL DIFFERENT LENGTHS AS THEY WILL BE GOING THROUGH THE LASH CYCLE AT ALL DIFFERENT TIMES. IF THE LASHES ARE MAINLY AT THE END OF THEIR ANAGEN CYCLE WHERE THEY ARE SHEDDING, THIS COULD LEAD TO THE LASHES FALLING OUT QUICKER THAN NORMAL. DON'T BE ALARMED IF THIS HAPPENS. IF YOU NOTICE VERY SHORT NEW HAIRS, DO NOT APPLY TO THESE, GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO GROW AND BE NICE HEALTHY LASHES ANAGEN IS YOUR GROWING PHASE - ONLY ABOUT 40% OF YOUR UPPER LASHES WILL BE IN YOUR ANAGEN PHASE AT ANY ONE TIME.
WHY IS THE CONSULTATION STAGE IMPORTANT?

HYGIENE AND SANITATION
AS A LASH ARTIST YOU WILL MOSTLY NEED TO CONCERN YOURSELF WITH KNOWING THE PROPER METHODS OF SANITISING AND DISINFECTING YOUR WORK STATIONS AND LASH SUPPLIES TO STOP THE SPREADING OF GERMS OR POSSIBLE INFECTIONS. MAINTAIN YOUR OWN PERSONAL HYGIENE AT ALL TIMES, INCLUDING CLEAN HANDS AND NAILS, WASHING YOUR HANDS AFTER EACH TREATMENT KEEP YOUR WORKING ENVIRONMENT CLEAN AND TIDY AT ALL TIMES, WITH A DISINFECTANT WIPE ON ANYTHING THAT IS USED AND MAY HAVE COME INTO CONTACT WITHIN THAT SERVICE.
DISINFECT METAL TWEEZERS AFTER EVERY USE, DRY WITH PAPER TOWEL AND STORE IN A CLOSED CONTAINER. USE DISPOSABLE ITEMS FOR EACH TREATMENT SUCH AS EYE PADS AND DISPOSABLE MASCARA BRUSHES, SO YOU DON’ T CROSS CONTAMINATE. WHEN WORKING WITH GLUE WE MUST BE AWARE THAT.

TROUBLE SHOOTING PROBLEMS PROBLEM
ANSWER
I'VE STARTED BUT I CAN TELL I'VE USED THE WRONG LENGTH
BE HONEST. BUT DONT MAKE A BIG THING OF IT, JUST CHANGE THEM FOR THE CORRECT LASHES. TRIM ANY LONGER ONES WITH SCISSORS AT THE END
MY CLIENTS EYES ARE WATERING ALOT
CHECK THE EYE PADS ARE NOT TOO CLOSE TO THE EYE AND GET A TISSUE TO CLEAN UP. THIS HAPPENS ALOT!
MY CLIENT DOESNT LIKE WHAT I'VE DONE
OFFER FOR HER TO COME BACK IN A WEEKS TIME IT MIGHT BE THAT ITS A SHOCK AS RUSSIAN LASHES ARE MEANT TO BE DRAMATIC
MY CLIENT IS FEELING CLAUSTROPHOBIC WITH HER EYES CLOSED
KEEP TALKING TO YOUR CLIENT AND KEEP HER RELAXED BUT IF SHE SEEMS LIKE SHE IS GETTING DISTRESSED, STOP ALL TREATMENT
MY CLIENT WANTS ME TO REMOVE THE LAST FEW LASHES CAN I OFFER THIS
RECOMMEND HER THE LASH REMOVER TO PURACHASE AND TO DO AT HOME. YOU WILL SPEND LONGER DOING THIS AND THE LASHES NEED 24 HOURS BEFORE ANOTHER SET CAN GO ON SO THERE ARE NO OILS
