What do you need to correctly perform the eyelash extension treatment and offer a high quality service to your clients?

A training certificate will clearly not be enough. The tools and products with which the procedure will be carried out are important. If you think that you will buy the necessary materials in the store closest to your home or on any online site, we are quick to disappoint you! Professional treatment requires high-quality materials. These can only be purchased in professional (physical and online) stores with a good reputation and excellent reviews. While you are thinking about what products you are missing, we have prepared for you a review of the minimum set of tools for a lashmaker. After all, the convenience of work and the quality of the result depend on the materials you use every day and how you know how to handle them. We are sure that you will find a lot of useful information for you!

1. Without eyelashes you can't start

You can buy all the necessary products, but one of the most important is still eyelashes. To meet the needs of all customers, you will have to purchase eyelashes of different lengths, curves, thicknesses, colors. Mandatory is to buy black eyelashes - this is an unshakable classic. You will also need packs with colored and brown eyelashes to create incredible, elegant and bright images.

2. Glue for eyelash extensions

Without glue it is absolutely not possible to perform the eyelash extension treatment. On the market it is now possible to find adhesives of any price segment and various degrees of polymerization, but remember to always pay attention to the safety criteria, the reaction it can cause and its adhesive strength! To prolong the life of the glue, purchase a professional thermal sachet thanks to which the glue will retain its properties for longer. We will talk in detail about how to choose a glue for eyelash extensions in the next article.

3. Eyelash extension tweezers

You will need at least 2 tweezers to perform the eyelash extension treatment. One is straight, the other is curved. It is convenient to separate natural eyelashes with straight tweezers and apply eyelash extensions with curved tweezers. Just as it is convenient to form fans with curved tweezers. Choose tweezers made from a durable, lightweight and wear-resistant material. When choosing, it is important to pay attention not only to quality, but also to shape. It is recommended to purchase 2 sets of tweezers at the same time. During treatment, one of the tweezers may fall, which will lead to deformation of the tips. You should be able to continue working regardless.

Also, don't forget to purchase a convenient case to extend the life of your tweezers.

4. Lash Palette for eyelash extensions: correct organization of the work space.

Lash palette also called strip holder is an accessory on which the ribbons with artificial eyelashes are positioned. An additional accessory to preserve artificial fibers and ensure ease of work during treatment. This simplifies and speeds up the eyelash extension process. There are different types of lash palettes. For example, with elastic bands in the form of bracelets that fit comfortably on the arm. There are also ordinary lash palettes that rest on a horizontal surface. For convenience, you can also purchase a set of lash palettes and change them at your discretion. The accessory is easy to clean and is made of wear-resistant materials.

5. Fume Neutralizer: Reliable protection for lashmaker and customer

No matter how high-quality, hypoallergenic and safe the glue is, in some cases an individual reaction to it may occur. Above all, with prolonged exposure the harmful fumes of the glue can negatively affect the human body, causing allergies (this usually applies to lashmakers who regularly carry out eyelash extension treatments). The appearance of an allergic reaction brings a lot of inconvenience. A lashmaker can stop enjoying her favorite work, sometimes stop doing it altogether. To prevent this from happening, be sure to purchase a glue fume neutralizer. This tool blocks the toxic evaporation of glue, neutralizing unpleasant odors and eliminating discomfort in the treatment of eyelash extensions.

6. Glue Accelerator: Accelerates the curing process

This product should also appear in your arsenal. The accelerator will help preserve the properties of the glue when working in adverse conditions (for example, the temperature and humidity in the room are far from those recommended by the manufacturer). The activator accelerates the polymerization of the glue, promotes the correct adhesion of natural and artificial eyelashes and increases the life of eyelash extensions by avoiding sudden and irregular falls.

7. Degreasing pre-treatment: correct preparation of the eyelashes for the treatment of extensions

With the help of a degreaser, the eyelashes are properly prepared for the eyelash extension procedure. The product delicately removes the remains of cosmetics, sebum and dirt that prevent the glue from gripping. Be careful which degreaser you choose! All professional degreasers must contain useful components, soothe the delicate and thin skin of the eyelids and must not have an aggressive effect. For customers sensitive to aromas we recommend choosing the degreaser without aroma.

8. Primer: ensures flawless adhesion

The primer helps to further prepare the natural lashes for the eyelash extension treatment. The product deeply cleanses the hair, lifts and opens the scales. The primer will allow you to create an ideal and durable adhesion of an artificial eyelash with a natural one, which significantly extends the life of extensions. Some lashmakers prefer to use just a degreaser or just a primer. But one product cannot replace another. For example, the primer is not able to remove the natural greasy film from the eyelashes, therefore, the glue will stick worse.

9. Eyelash Extension Remover: Not only application of extensions, but also removal

Eyelash extension remover is a kind of glue remover. In the work of a lashmaker, this tool is necessary, because if a client comes to you with already long eyelashes to apply new eyelashes, you will have to remove the remnants. There are two types of removers: gel and cream. Both products are easy to use, it's all a matter of lashmaker preference. The gel remover has a more liquid consistency than the cream one. Both products, when used correctly, do not penetrate the eyes and do not leak, which reduces the risk of damaging the mucous membrane of the eye. The customer does not perceive any discomfort in the process of removing eyelash extensions with a professional remover.

10. Fixing Coating: extend the life of eyelash extensions

It is applied at the end of the extension procedure, creates an invisible protective film on the eyelashes and nourishes the natural lashes. On top of everything, the fixative gives the artificial eyelashes a glossy shine, rich color and prolongs service life.

11. Glue paddles: reduce glue consumption

It seems that the tool is not necessary at all, but in reality it allows the lashmaker to save time, money and glue consumption. The palette has small holes in which the glue dries more slowly and retains its properties longer. The volume of each hole is the same and is designed for one drop of glue. Preferably that the accessory has a sticky surface, which allows it to be securely attached to the surface.

12. Related tools for lashmakers: you can't do without them

• Hand sanitizers and tools for maximum safety of the eyelash extension procedure.

• Disposable sheets, gloves, masks, hair cap, napkins.

• Cotton swabs, sticks, oil-free micellar water to remove makeup.

• Brushes for combing eyelash extensions.

• Micro-brush of various sizes. A tool for the precise application of products, as well as cleaning the lash space.

• Mirror for eyelash extensions. A necessary attribute with which it is convenient to control the process. It will allow you to see even the smallest eyelashes and do the job as cleanly as possible.

• Cushion to provide comfort to customers during treatment. The pillow will help relax your neck muscles.

• Tape. With its help, it is possible to fix the eyelids to facilitate the treatment of extensions. Make sure you buy plastic and paper (preferably breathable or lint-free).

• Patches. Necessary for the isolation of the lower eyelashes. Furthermore, the patches take care of the skin around the eyes, nourishing and hydrating it deeply. Professional patches are always based on collagen and hydrogel. Never use tape to isolate the lower lashes. Such savings can serve you poorly, damage the skin and eyelid, and as a result, lose the customer.
