Mistakes to Avoid as a New Lash Artist

As a new Lash artist there a few mistakes that you should avoid right from the beginning.

Mistake 1. Not preparing natural lashes properly

provide a lash bath using lash shampoo. Clients liked it, and it left them feeling refreshed afterwards. For dirty lashes, ensure you wash them at least twice. If the foam disappears quickly, it indicates the lashes are still dirty or oily.

Mistake 2. Buying lashes and adhesives from eBay or Temu

Try to buy your products from reputable brands that adhere to strict quality standards, and truly understand their products.

Mistake 3. Using the wrong adhesive for my working speed

Everyone has different working speeds and environments; thus, the strongest or fastest glue isn’t necessarily the best choice. Switching to a slower drying glue can help improve retention, not all strong or fast drying glue is the best option.

Mistake 4. Using too much or too little adhesive

Determining the right amount of lash adhesive was is as a beginner. Using too little led to poor retention, while too much caused delayed drying, resulting in 'stickies' by the end of the appointment. It's important to check every lash before concluding the appointment (set aside 10 minutes for this). Since each lash has a different growth cycle, if lashes stick together, the first grown lashes could pull out the others, potentially causing permanent damage.
