As a lash artist, you're responsible for making your clients look and feel beautiful. But even the most skilled lash artists can make mistakes that could compromise the health and safety of their clients, as well as their own reputation. Here are the top 5 mistakes to avoid for lash artists:
-
Using improper technique - One of the biggest mistakes that lash artists make is using improper technique during application. It's important to make sure that you're properly trained in the latest techniques, and that you're using the correct products for the job. Using the wrong techniques or products can cause damage to your client's natural lashes, or worse, cause an allergic reaction.
-
Applying too much glue - Applying too much glue to the lash extensions is a common mistake that many lash artists make. Not only can it make the lashes look clumpy, but it can also cause irritation and discomfort to your clients.
-
Not properly preparing the client - Proper preparation of the client is key to a successful lash application. This includes making sure the client's eyes are completely clean and dry, and that any makeup or oil residue is removed. Failure to properly prepare the client can result in lash extensions that don't adhere properly, leading to premature loss or irritation.
-
Not discussing aftercare with the client - Aftercare is just as important as the application itself. It's essential to discuss proper aftercare with your clients, including how to clean the lashes, what products to use (and what to avoid), and how often to come in for maintenance appointments.
-
Overpromising and underdelivering - Lash artists who overpromise what they can deliver often end up underdelivering, which can lead to disappointed clients and a bad reputation. Be honest about what you can deliver, and set realistic expectations with your clients.
By avoiding these common mistakes, you can ensure that your clients are happy and satisfied with their lash extensions, and that you maintain a positive reputation as a skilled and responsible lash artist.
