The Truth Behind Eyelash Extensions & How You're Getting Scammed By Lash Businesses....

Hey there, lovely!

Let's have a little heart-to-heart about something - Eyelash Extensions.

Now, before you roll your eyes and dismiss them as just another beauty fad, hear me out. There's a reason why everyone's at least tried them, and trust me, it's not just hype.

Imagine waking up in the morning, rolling over, and catching a glimpse of yourself in the mirror—except this time, instead of groggy eyes and barely-there lashes, you're met with a set of fluttery, full lashes that make you feel like a million bucks. Sound like a dream? Well, with eyelash extensions, it's a dream come true.

Here's why I'm head-over-heels in love with eyelash extensions, and why you might just fall for them too:

1. Effortless Elegance: Let's face it—life is busy, and who has the time (or the patience) for a complicated beauty routine? With eyelash extensions, you can skip the mascara mayhem and wake up looking effortlessly elegant. No clumps, no smudges, just flawless lashes that are ready to take on the day.

2. Boost of Confidence: There's something undeniably empowering about feeling confident in your own skin. Whether you're strutting into a boardroom or sipping cocktails with friends, fluttery lashes can give you that extra boost of confidence that makes you feel like you can conquer the world.

3. Tailored to You: One of the things I love most about eyelash extensions is that they're totally customizable. Want a subtle enhancement for everyday wear? Done. Craving a dramatic, eye-catching look for a special occasion? You got it. With a wide range of styles, lengths, and curls to choose from, there's a lash look to suit every vibe and personality.

4. Time-Saving Solution: Raise your hand if you've ever been late because you got caught up in the mascara struggle. (Guilty as charged!) With eyelash extensions, you can say goodbye to those frantic mornings spent battling with a mascara wand. Just a quick brush-through with a spoolie, and you're good to go—no makeup bag required.

5. Long-Lasting Loveliness: Unlike mascara that flakes and smudges throughout the day, eyelash extensions offer long-lasting loveliness that stays put from sunrise to sunset. With proper care and maintenance, your extensions can keep you looking fresh and fabulous for weeks on end.

BUT here are some things to be cautious of as a CONSUMER of EYELASH EXTENSIONS.

Certainly! Here are some examples of behaviors or qualities that might characterize a bad eyelash extensions artist: it's a luxury service and YOU and yours EYES deserve the best...

1. Lack of Training or Certification: A bad eyelash extensions artist might lack proper training or certification in applying extensions. This can result in subpar application techniques, leading to discomfort, irritation, or damage to the natural lashes.

2. Poor Hygiene Practices: Hygiene is crucial when it comes to eyelash extensions. An artist who doesn't follow proper sanitation practices, such as disinfecting tools, washing hands, or using clean materials, can put clients at risk of infections or allergic reactions.

3. Limited Knowledge of Products: A bad artist may not have a thorough understanding of the products they're using, such as adhesive types, lash materials, or aftercare products. This can result in inappropriate product choices that may not be suitable for the client's needs or preferences.

4. Rushed Application Process: "My lash tech finished a full volume set in an hour..." YIKES! That should be a HUGE RED FLAG!! Like girly what?

Applying eyelash extensions requires precision and attention to detail. A bad artist may rush through the application process, leading to uneven or clumpy lashes, poor bonding, or discomfort for the client. Sure she may have "finished" in an hour but she did not deliver a high quality and reputable job. Take a look at your lash line - I promise you'll notice huge gaps with multiple natural lashes UNLASHED. It's LAZY - I would NEVER.

5. Overlooking Client Consultation: A bad artist might skip or rush through the client consultation process, failing to assess the client's natural lashes, discuss their preferences, or address any concerns or allergies. This can result in dissatisfaction with the final results or unexpected reactions to the extensions.

6. Ignoring Client Feedback: Effective communication is key in any beauty service. A bad artist may dismiss or ignore the client's feedback or concerns, failing to make adjustments or corrections to achieve the desired look.

7. Unprofessional Behavior: An artist who exhibits unprofessional behavior, such as being rude, dismissive, or unreliable, can create a negative experience for clients. This can include showing up late for appointments, canceling without notice, or failing to follow up with aftercare instructions.

8. Using Unsafe Practices: Some artists may use unsafe practices, such as applying extensions that are too heavy or long for the natural lashes, using expired products, or applying extensions too close to the lash line or skin, risking irritation or damage. I SEE THIS ALL TOO OFTEN. Lashes longer than 16mm run the risk of MAJOR damage. I've saved so many girls from horrible lash techs while STILL delivering the set they want.

9. Lack of Aftercare Guidance: Aftercare is essential for maintaining the health and longevity of eyelash extensions. A bad artist may fail to provide thorough aftercare guidance, leaving clients unaware of how to properly care for their extensions or prolong their lifespan.

10. Inconsistent Results: Finally, a bad artist may produce inconsistent results, with some clients experiencing satisfactory outcomes while others are left dissatisfied or unhappy with their lashes. This inconsistency can be indicative of a lack of skill, experience, or attention to detail.
