 By the end of this course, you will be
ready to take on the industry. We go
over so much in this online course that
most courses unfortunately don't go
over. Some of those lessons include:
Licensing Vs. Certification
The 4 methods of decontamination
How to properly store your lash tools
recognizing different eye infections
chemical burn and microscopic tears
how to identify an allergic reaction and what to do
lash mites and lash lice
the science behind our adhesive
self evaluation when it comes to retention issues
understanding the ingredients in our adhesive
lash cycles
real cient situations and how to approach them
breaking lash myths
 Please note, this lash course will only provide you with a
certificate of completion. If you want to further your
education, please seek details about licensing in YOUR state.

There is so much debate about licensing and certification

when it comes to lash extensions. Some states require a
cosmetology or esthetician license to perform lash
extensions while other states/countries only need a
certificate.

You may ask, "well what's the point of taking the lash course
if I may need to go to school anyways?"

For one, school can cost anywhere from 5-12 GRAND. Why
would you go to school and pay that much money when there
is a possible chance that you may not even like lashing? One
of the many reasons why I provide my lash course at such an
affordable price is because I understand that some of my
students may want to start their lash journey and then
realize that this isn't what they really want to do. I've had so
many girls admit that they didn't know what they were
signing up for when learning lashes and they realized quickly
it wasn't for them. Now imagine if they spent all that money
to go to school for absolutely nothing. Most esthetician and
cosmetology programs don't go in depth about the
performance of lash extensions.
Continued
Although, they do not teach the performance of
lash extensions in depth, I still HIGHLY recommend
continuing your education with schooling if your
state requires it because they do cover super
important information within our practice. They
mainly go over product development, reactions,
chemical properties, decontamination and things
of that nature. After attending school, yes. You will
need a lash course. I always let my students know
that it is still important to obtain a license if your
state requires it so you can save yourself in
unpredictable situations. I try to go over as much as
possible in this course so you guys can get a
glimpse of what they would teach you in school
considering that decontamination, knowledge of
reactions and products is VERY important. The
information I provide in this course is super in
depth and some of it is taught in schools as well, so
take advantage!

 importance of tweezers
When lashing, one of your most important tools that will make the
magic happen will be your tweezers. When I say tweezers, I do not
mean any tweezer laying around in your bathroom drawer. You want to
make sure that you have the proper tweezers. Down below will be
pictures of tweezers, the names, and what they're used for.

 Sanitization
So we all know that sanitization plays a big role in our
daily lives. Sanitization is important to keep from germs
spreading, avoiding infection both topical and internal
and so much more.

There are 4 methods of decontamination

1: Cleaning- Using warm water and soap which

eliminates surface particles.

2: Sanitizing- Using alcohol which eliminates or reduces

bacteria.

3: Disinfecting- Using Barbicide or Germicides which

reduces bacteria to a safe level.

4: Sterilizing- Using high heat which kills all living

organisms on a non porous hard surface.

As a lash artist, you want to properly educate

yourself on the difference of every term because
without the knowledge you are likely to put you and
your clients at risk! I now will go over some
examples of how to sanitize and disinfect your work
station, lash supplies, and yourself to prevent the
possibilities of germs spreading.
 Storing your lash tools
All of your lash tools should be in a closed container and
protected from dust and debris. For example, your glue
rings, micro swabs, spoolies, lipstick wands, tape rolls, and
tweezers should all be enclosed and have a cover on them.
all of these items can be found on amazon
and used to protect your tools. If you do
not find it in my amazon store front, I will
list the names of the products.

"acrylic drawer organizer"

"marble tape holder"

"marble tweezer holder"

 Sanitizing your work station: ALWAYS get rid of
anything that is non reusable. Disposable items
include: Eye pads, mascara wands, micro brushes, tape,
etc.
*to avoid wasting product, you can always send home
the mascara wand with the client*

Always clean your work station with a disinfectant

wipe, your work station includes of anything that
you or your tools touched during the service being
provided.
Disinfecting your lash supplies: Reusable tools
must be cleaned properly before disinfecting.
First, clean reusable tool with warm water and soap.
Following the steps on your disinfectant, remove
your tools from the product after the recommended
time.Rinse the equipment in clean water and remove
any left over residue. Always cover your tools to
decrease the amount of debris build up.

Self sanitization: Wash hands thoroughly in between

each appointment with warm water and soap for 30
seconds. Keep hand sanitizer in hands reach and apply
when needed.
 ONE of the most effective and well known
ways to sanitize supplies in the beauty
industry is by using BARBICIDE. Barbicide is a
powerful disinfectant that kills ringworm, HIV
virus, staph, bacteria and other pathogens.

This chemical is to be used as directed because

if not properly handled, it can become a safety
hazard. Please read below for thorough
instructions.

Barbicide is mixed correctly by adding 1/4 cup (2

oz) of concentrate to 4 cups (32 oz) of COLD
water.
NEVER mix barbicide with a different chemical
solution.
After you have mixed your solution, you can
immediately submerge your tools into the
concentrated liquid for about 10 minutes, after
the 10 minutes are up remove your tools and be
sure to rinse them. After rinsing you can pat dry
and put into a heat sterilizer for extra
sterilization OR place them back in a closed
container.
 more about barbicide
If submerging tools, you should be changing
out your barbicide daily. It should also be
changed whenever contaminated or mixed
incorrectly.

To dispose of your barbicide mixture, you

can do so by sink or drain. Barbicide is not
to be thrown away by trash or outside.You
can also contact your local municipality for
further clarification.

Barbicide will not damage your plastics or

metals if used correctly, however, it is not
advised that you leave your tools in the
solution for more than the recommended
time (10 minutes) due to the fact that it can
damage tools after PROLONGED contact.
You can learn more about barbicide on
barbicide.com

Eye Health

 Recognizing different eye infections

As a lash artist,you may get that one client who develops

an allergy or infection. The following scripts will allow
you to recognize the different infections and what to do
in this kind of situation.
If your client shows any of the following symptoms of an
infection please do not continue with the service until
they are taken care of by a healthcare professional and
symptoms have cleared. DO NOT EVER DIAGNOSE YOUR
CLIENT, you can only use your best judgement and
recommend they get the proper treatment.

Allergic Conjunctivitis: When the eyes are exposed to

allergens such as pollen, mold, dust, and pets. This will
cause the eyes to become red, itchy, and watery.
Although allergies are not considered contagious,
applying extensions to already irritated eyes can worsen
the symptoms drastically.
 Blepharitis: When the lash follicle becomes inflamed and
red. There will also be a crust or gooey like substance
within their lash line. This is caused by lack of cleanliness,
allergies, mites, dandruff, and sometimes even different
medications. If this happens, do not proceed with the
service until you have cleaned the lash line thoroughly and
it's free of the "crusties or eye booger like substance. If
there is an overwhelming amount that it present, do a
removal and allow them to let their lash line breath while
also going to a medical professional if necessary.

Conjunctivitis: Known as an infection that inflames

the conjunctiva of the eye, causing the eye to turn
pink or in some cases, red. Most of the time, this will
be known as Pink Eye. This infection can easily spread
and is VERY contagious. Do not proceed on this client
until client is properly cared for and symptoms have
gone away.

Stye: A stye is caused by bacterial infection of the

sebaceous glands, causing a red and painful bump or
inflame the sebaceous area of the eye. Styes can
appear when the hair follicle is clogged and irritated.
This infection isn't contagious but for extra
precaution, you are not to proceed with services on
this client until they are cleared.
Allergic Conjunctivitis

Blepharitis

Conjunctivitis
 Stye

Chemical Burn
chemical burn of the eye is caused by the eyes being
open unknowingly during a lash appointment, the
fumes from the glue irritate the eye and the eye may
appear red. Advise them to apply a cold press, flush
the eye with cold water and seek medical help. The
side affects will subside within 3-6 days. Avoid taking
hot steamy showers as it will burn, and avoid eye
drops unless prescribed by a professional.
 How does chemical burn occur
Chemical burn occurs because cyanoacrylate is a chemical
that is present in lash adhesive and is considered an
irritant. When you are using lash adhesive to apply
extensions, chemical burn can occur if the bottom lashes
are not taped properly and the tape is sitting in a position to
slightly lift the eyelid. Chemical burn can also occur if the
client has fluttery eyes, talks excessively while getting
lashes or their eyes just don't close all the way. Even if the
client does not mention burning but develops a chemical
burn, IT IS NEVER YOUR CLIENTS FAULT. Even though you
may have clients that don't speak up due to thinking it's
normal or they suffer from anxiety, YOU as a professional
should be checking periodically throughout the set if the
eyes are fully closed, set boundaries and keep the talking to
a minimum, asking your client if they feel any burning
throughout the set OR recognizing right away if they have
chemical burn when the set it finished. You will know
instantly if they have a chemical burn when they open their
eyes because their eyes may be glossy and blood shot red.
If burning occurs during the set, stop what you are doing,
fan for 2 minutes and nano mist to eliminate fumes.
 To be Continued
If a client has fluttery eyes or eyes that don't close all the
way, you can use tape to tape down their eyelids and apply
pressure to keep them closed. With these clients, you
REALLY want to enforce a minimum talking rule and be sure
to ask and check that their lids are still closed throughout
the set. Play relaxing music and let them drift to sleep as
well.

Fluttery eyes can also be caused by caffeinated

beverages. All clients should be avoiding
caffeinated drinks before their appointment.
ALWAYS LET YOUR CLIENT KNOW BEFOREHAND

This is an example of how you would use taping techniques

to tape down or add pressure/weight to the eyelid
What will a chemical burn feel like
Your client will complain of stinging feeling or they
will feel like there is glass in their eye every time
they blink. This is the main symptom of chemical
burn. in extreme cases, they may also feel as if their
eyes are sensitive to light and they can barely open
without getting teary eyed or feel the stinging
sensation. Some ladies who have experienced this
have compared the stinging sensation to getting
lemon squeezed in your eye profusely.

Should i remove the lashes

I personally, would advise my client to get a removal in
extreme situations only because a professional may
prescribe an eye drop and when you pair that with
tears/watery eyes and flushing the eye if necessary, the
extensions will not be at their best. As soon as the chemical
burn subsides, you can perform another set with extra
precaution(I wouldn't charge). If the symptoms are mild,
you can recommend the ice pack and to avoid steamy
showers but also recommend that they seek professional
help. Not everyone will prefer the removal and some may
wait it out, but be mindful that you can only provide your
best judgement at the end of the day.
 Eye bruising/microscopic tears
what it is and how to avoid it
eye bruising and microscopic tears can also come
from lack of knowledge and attention to detail when
taping down those bottom lashes. When you are
taping down the bottom lashes, the tape or eye pad
SHOULD NOT be placed on the waterline. This will
cause the eye pad or tape to scratch the eyeball
because it's placed so high. These cuts are not visible
to the human eye. Your client may not feel the
microscopic tears right away but she will feel it a day
after. Her symptoms may be that it hurts to blink and
there will be a redness on the bottom of her eyeball.
There will be no burning present but it will feel
bruised as if she got hit in the eye. DO NOT recommend
eyedrops as it will burn if it gets inside of the cut. She
can apply an ice pack to help with the bruised feeling
and it will subside within a day or 2, for most, it will
subside by the end of that day.
 how you should be taping down bottom lashes
picture example

Tape should be sitting right beneath the

waterline but not physically on the waterline.
 What to do if a client becomes
allergic and how to tell
If your client has an allergic reaction, you can expect them to
show symptoms 24-48 hours later and sometimes can occur
sooner. Their eyes will be puffy and they will have the same
symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis. Proceed to tell them to
take a Benadryl and apply an ice pack to reduce the swelling
before you perform a removal. You DO NOT want to the get the
remover on their skin in case they have a reaction to the
chemicals in the remover. Only apply on the base of the
lashes, avoiding the skin as much as possible. Once removed,
lash bath thoroughly and let them know that the symptoms
should begin to subside. Let them know to seek professional
help as well to help clear the symptoms.
To avoid allergic reactions, offer patch test for new clients. To
do a patch test, you will simply have them come in 3 days
before their appointment. Apply classic lashes the length of
their natural lashes on the outer corner and inner corner, use
the same adhesive you'll be using the day of the appointment.
If they're allergic to the adhesive they will have a reaction to
the patch test. If they have no reaction, you can proceed with
the full set.
 LASH MITES
You will be surprised at the things you may encounter as a
lash artist. Lash mites are not caused by lash extensions
but rather poor hygiene. Meaning that if your client does
not clean every day as instructed, she may be at risk of lash
mites. Lash mites feed off of dead skin cells and oils on
your eyelids. Lash mites lay their eggs in your lash follicle
which can lead to clogged pores and lash loss. Another
word for lash mites is Demodex Folliculitis. Fun fact,
everyone has lash mites living on their eyelashes in small
amounts, they only become harmful when they
continuously reproduce, which is why I will say again,
MAKE SURE YOUR CLIENTS ARE WASHING THEIR LASHES!!
Symptoms of eyelash mites can be
classified in different levels of severity:
Mild Symptoms: there are no noticeable symptoms at this stage.
Eyelash mites at this stage are harmless and you don't even
know you have them.

Moderate symptoms: You may experience itchiness around

the eye, redness & swelling of the eyelid

Advanced symptoms: Symptoms will progress to scaly, rough

patches of the skin. You might also feel a burning sensation
in the eye, blurry vision, and light sensitivity.
how to rid lash mites if needed
First, those lash extensions need to be removed and then you
need to recommend them to seek professional help right away.

Eyelash mites don’t need to be treated if they’re not

causing problems And sometimes getting rid of eyelash
mites can be tough. Eyelid scrubs you can buy over the
counter at the drugstore may not do the trick.
What treatments usually work? Your doctor might
recommend:
Tea tree oil: Soaked into wipes or cleansers, rub this
over your closed eyelids and face. Don’t open your
eyes quickly after wiping or they may sting. Make
sure you are diluting the oil if it is full strength, as
that will be too strong and harmful for your thin
eyelid skin.
Creams or ointments: They’re made from substances
like sulfur, permethrin, ivermectin, and mercury
oxide. You spread these medicines at the base of
your lashes.

After seeing a client with lash mites, be sure to properly cleanse,

disinfect, and sterilize your tools. Also remember to take anything
cloth off your lash bed and wash & dry on high heat
LASH LICE
There are 3 different types of lice that can live on a human.
Pediculus humanus capitis (head lice)
Pediculus humanus corporis (body lice)
Pthirus pubis (pubic lice)
Pubic lice AKA LASH LICE can be treated in several ways.
A special, ophthalmic-grade (meant for the delicate eyelid
and available only by prescription from your doctor)
petroleum jelly can be applied with a cotton swab to the
eyelids and lashes two to four times a day for 10 days or
longer. The substance covers the lice and their eggs and
suffocates them. The eyelids should be thoroughly
cleaned each morning. When the lice are dead, they can
be carefully removed with tweezers. Note: Do not use
regular petroleum jelly, as it can irritate the eyelids.

All clothing, bedding, towels and other items that

might be contaminated should be washed before
treatment. Use hot, soapy water — at least 130
degrees F (54 degrees C) — and dry the items at high
heat in the dryer for at least 20 minutes.
Clothing that can’t be washed can be
dry-cleaned. Items that can’t be
washed can be sealed in airtight
plastic bags for two weeks until the
lice and their eggs have died.

If you or your client still suffer from

eyelash lice after the above
approaches, your doctor may
prescribe a topical anti-parasite
medication or an oral anti-parasite
medicine that will kill the lice. Worst
case scenario, your eye doctor may
need to cut or trim your eyelashes,
but this is a more extreme treatment
and is less common.
 picture example of lash mites

DEVELOPMENT OF DEMODEX MITE

 What do I do if my client has head lice
If you do happen to notice lice in your clients hair,
stop service immediately. Do not diagnose your
client and state they have lice but let them know
that there seems to be symptoms of lice and
recommend they see a medical professional. Let
them know that for you and your client's safety,
you do not feel comfortable to continue to lash
until she is cleared by a doctor.
You should take this seriously because lice can spread and
contaminate QUICK. First, throw on some gloves, if you had
lash strips out of the case and on the lash tile, even if she did
not come in contact with it, those strips are now TRASH. DO
NOT PUT THEM BACK IN THE LASH CASE. Strip your lash bed of
any cloth material, wash and dry on high heat. Disinfect with
cavi wipes,wipe down your lamp, lash cart, lash bed, door
knobs, EVERYTHING. Decontaminate your tools following the
4 methods of decontamination. After you are finished, be
sure to wash and dry your clothes on high heat as well and as
take a hot shower and lather your hair well.
 Rarely does this happen but it is always a possibility. You
should know how to handle a situation like this.
To help avoid cross contamination, always lay down a
dental bib on your lash pillow, you can even lay down 2
at a time to ensure that your clients hair doesn't come in
contact with your actual lash pillow. Clients should
never wear their hair down and out, provide scrunchies
or hair ties to ensure their hair can be put up in a loose
bun or ponytail so it is out of the way while you work.
Picture example of lash lice

lash lice can look VERY similar to lash mites, which is why it is important
to use your best judgement and stop the service right away if you
believe it is one of the two. Procedures are the same for both
contaminations.

Getting Comfortable

The Basics

 Before you pick up your tweezers and get to
work you first have to prep your client for
their service. Failure to properly prep your
client can lead to major retention issues.

How to properly prep your client:

As your client lays down, the first thing you want
to do is put on a disposable head wrap around
their hairline. If you dont have this, you can lay a
paper towel on their forehead, a disposable cloth
towel, or a dispoasable hair cap. Reason for this is
so you can be extra cautious when working with
your glue, mistakes can happen and if glue gets
on their hair or skin, it'll be a painful experience
for them if not removed properly and right away.
 Next, you want to lash bath your client. It does not
matter whether it's a full set or fill, you should ALWAYS
provide a lash bath before working on your canvas

After the previous step you.want to then dry your client

with your portable fan until completely dry. When dry,
you can now place your eye pads and tape accordingly.
Once you have everything taped up you can now apply
your primer using your lipstick wand applicators, when
applying, you want to use 2 wands per eye (4 total) ,
sandwich the lashes between the applicators and
saturate the lash from base to ends. Sandwiching will
help you apply primer to the bottom of the Natural Lash
(NL) which will be beneficial for under lash placement.

Only prime your oily clients, oily clients need primer

because the primer will strip away excess oils. NON oily
clients, barely have oils on they NL as it is, so stripping
away too much will cause dryness and breakage. If you
have a NON oily client, a simple lash bath will do.
Now that we've applied our primer (if needed) all
that's left to do is shake your glue, shaking your
glue for 30-60 seconds will allow your glue to
mix properly and you will get your desired
consistency. After this step, you are now ready to
start lashing.

To shake your glue by hand be sure to shake side

to side, doing so will prevent the glue traveling
upwards and clogging the nozzle

To shake your glue with a hand held glue shaker,

you can place the top of the glue bottle into the
glue holder and rotate the shaker upside down so
your glue will be right side up, doing this will also
prevent the glue from clogging your nozzle. When
done, wipe your nozzle with a LINT FREE adhesive
wipe and proceed to "burp your glue" which you
will learn more about on the next page.
 Burping your glue

Burping your glue is important to get the

most out of your shelf life. Burping will get
rid of the oxygen present in your glue bottle.
To burp your glue, gently squeeze the sides
of the bottle after shaking. Squeezing the
bottle will allow an air bubble to submerge,
follow through with a consistent grip to be
sure you are releasing the trapped air
without allowing it to go back in. When the
bubble pops and adhesive submerges do not
use that first adhesive drop, it is most likely
to not be the freshest, disregard the adhesive
by wiping away with a lint free wipe.
 aftercare
After care is incredibly important to explain to your
clients. Without explaining proper after care , they
may not have the best retention. It's important that
you educate yourself as well so you know how to
deal with a client who doesn't have good retention
no matter what product you use.. therefor you can
use your best judgement to determine if it's the
clients aftercare causing poor retention.

What should clients avoid? Clients should avoid taking extremely

hot showers, sleeping on their face, using sunscreen on their
eyelids, using oily products on their eyelids, getting too close to
open fire (it can singe their lashes), swimming in dirty water,
pulling, touching, or rubbing their lashes, & avoid saunas.

What should clients do for proper after care? clients

should be brushing their lashes after the first 24 hours of
their initial appointment, brushing often is necessary,
give themselves a lash bath every day or every other day,
lash baths will keep the lash line clean and free of gunk
preventing infection. Last but not least, schedule their
fills ON TIME to prevent breakage.
 let's talk infills

An Infill or "Fill" is when your client comes 2-2.5

weeks after her initial appointment to get all of
the grown out lashes taken off and replaced with
new lashes. Failure to do an Infill and remove the
grown out lashes in time will cause breakage of
the NL in due time. Infils are also important to fill
in gaps, gapping is caused by our natural lash
shedding. The average person has between 90-
120 natural lashes per upper eyelid, and three
rows of lashes. When you take that into account
that we will naturally shed 2-5 lashes per day,
we lose a lot of lashes over the course of a month.

after 1 week, you may have lost 21 lashes.

after 2 weeks, you may have lost 42 lashes
after 3 weeks, you may have lost 63 lashes
 The information above is important to know because you
want to make sure you are properly explaining the
importance of why infills are needed every 2-2.5 weeks.
Initially, when your client comes in for a fill, be sure they
have 45-50% of their lashes on. Reason for that is because
when removing the outgrown ones, you should be left with
AT LEAST 35% of lashes. Anything less will be considered a
full set, remember, your time and products are valuable.

If you happen to have a client that loses more

lashes than usual and she needs a full set by
the time you get to her every 2 weeks, that can
mean 3 things. It can mean her growth cycle is
faster than most, for this, alternative routes
would be to offer her a weekly mini fill. For a
weekly mini fill, she would come in once a week
for half of the fill price. Client's love this option
because they can still enhance their beauty
with lash extensions without breaking the
bank.
Continued

Her needing a full set every 2 weeks can also mean that
you need to work on your retention approach OR she's
not taking care of her lashes properly. First, evaluate
your retention approach by asking yourself these
questions..

Prepping: Am I over priming a client that does not need

primer?

Did I provide a lash bath?

Did I skip priming a client who NEEDS primer due to oiliness?

Did I make sure to wash the cleanser off completely?

Application: Did I use the correct amount of adhesive?

Did I change my glue dot every 15-30 minutes?

Did I isolate properly?

Is the base fully attached to the NL?

Are you being mindful of what stage the NL is in and if it can

handle the weight you're putting on her lashes?
 Ending off the set: Did I fan for 2-3 minutes, apply
bonder, and then let AIR DRY?

Did I apply too much bonder, resulting in over

saturation?

Did I brush the lashes to make sure none popped off?

Did I explain after care correctly?

Adhesive: Is it time for me to replace my

adhesive?

Did I store it properly in an air tight

container?

Did I shake it every time I changed my glue

dot?

Did I shake it before starting application?

Am I using a low quality adhesive?

If you evaluated your approach and everything is
good on your end. Start paying close attention to
how your client comes in for her appointments.

When she comes in, are her lashes oily and stuck together as
if she's not washing?

Do her lashes have crust of eye boogers trapped between the

lashes?

Do her lashes have gaps more than when you first seen her (a
sign of picking)

Does she usually come in with oily hair products in her hair?
The product can seep down her face and into her lashes,
especially edge control.

Does she work somewhere that requires hard labor? Like

warehouse

Does she work somewhere that heat is always present? like a

fast food place?

If it's summer time, is she going on vacation often and

swimming/sweating?
 After evaluating your approach and her daily
lifestyle/approach to aftercare, you can then figure out a
solution and what is best for your client. Whether it is
weekly fills, something you need to fix on your end,
something she needs to start doing more or stop doing, or
if she is just not a good candidate for lash extensions.

Unfortunately, not everyone is a good

candidate for lash extensions and that's
okay. A few examples of bad candidates are

Anxiety lash Adhesive or Have a form

pickers latex allergies of alopecia

Undergoing any Actively on

Currently
radiation thyroid
have a stye
therapy medication
 You should be asking what medications your
client takes and what vitamins they take on a
daily basis. For personal reasons, they do not
have to list all medications but it's important
to inform them that certain medications and
vitamins can effect their lash experience.

When medication enters the body, it will always

end up going directly to the bloodstream.
Depending on the form of the medication, either
liquid, tablet/capsule, pessary, injection or via
inhaler, this will determine how long it will take to
reach the bloodstream. Whichever method of
administration was used, within 24 hours the
medication will be delivered to every hair follicle of
the body, this includes our natural eyelashes.
 The effects on the lashes will be different for
each drug. For example, clients who have been
suffering from underactive or an overactive
thyroid and using medication to treat their
health condition might find their lashes a lot
finer and shorter compared to someone with no
such medication. If you are on this kind of
medication, your natural lashes may not be
strong enough to hold the extension, which
definitely affects your retention.

In other circumstances, for clients who have had

chemotherapy treatment, the toxins from the
treatment reach the hair follicles; they tend to
destroy the hair follicles cells. If you are on the
treatment, your extensions are likely to fall out a
lot quicker than usual.
 Although it is common for clients not to
consider their daily vitamins as
medication, it still is absorbed into the
body in the same way. If the body has too
much vitamin A or C then this will make
sebum levels higher. Sebum is our body’s
natural oil. Excessive amounts of this will
make our skin oily and our hair will become
greasy easily. Too much oil on the skin and
hairs will break up the glue bond between
the natural lashes and the extensions.
Resulting in poor retention. Hair growth
vitamins can affect retention as well by
accelerating the growth cycle which
causes the shedding process to speed up.
How to properly remove a lash extension for a fill
When doing a fill, you have to remove the outgrown
lashes. Failure to remove the outgrown lashes, will
result in lash breakage. When the extension starts to
grow out with the natural lash, the weight of the
extension will be distributed unevenly which causes
the natural lash to snap. You should be removing
outgrown lashes at EVERY fill appointment.

Banana Peeling
Banana peeling is a method used to remove outgrowns
by grabbing the extension and the natural lash at the
same time and peeing them away from each other.

The Pop Off Method

The pop off method is when you grab the base of
the NL with one tweezer, take your opposite
tweezer and place it right under the grown out lash.
Then you will move the tweezer in an upward
motion and the extension will pop off.
To access the video demonstration of both removal
methods, please click the link below. The link will
lead you to the "LASH UNIVERSITY" playlist.
Banana peeling is more so useful when you need
to remove a few lashes and not the whole set.
However, if you have to remove a whole set, you
would use a cream or gel based remover.

To use the remover, start by scooping a generous

amount with your applicator. Then apply to the lash
line, being sure to saturate the base of the lash. Once
applied, place an eye-pad or tape on top of the lashes
to trap heat. Wait about 15 minutes and then you can
remove. The lashes should slide off like butter but if
not, you can apply a little more product or banana
peel whatever did not come off.

C H A P T E R
YOU'RE ALMOST THERE
The Science

04
Environment
I know you may be thinking "what does my environment
have to do with anything?" and I am here to tell you,
since no one else will, it plays a HUGE part. Other than
prepping your client properly, your humidity and room
temp all contributes to how well your glue will work for
you.

When purchasing adhesive there should be preferred

temperature and humidity ranges on the back of your
adhesive or on the company's website. If you can't find
out that information, most glues will have a
TEMP ranging from 69-75 degrees
and HUMIDITY levels ranging from 40-65%.

The higher your humidity, the faster your

glue will dry so as a beginner you want your
humidity to be on the lower side. Try to keep
your humidity between 40-45%
 How do I determine my temp/humidity?
To properly determine your temp and humidity
you NEED to purchase a hygrometer. This device
will tell you everything you need to know about
your environment from temperature- humidity
and how often your room climate changes.

What do I do if my temp/ humidity is too high or low?

If your temp is too high you can always adjust it by
turning on the AC, It is recommended for the temp to be
on the cooler side for most glues.Too high would be
anything 76 and above. If the temp is too cold, turn on
your heater. Too cold would be anything 63 degrees and
lower. You always want to make sure that your room is
well ventilated to prevent your glue from failing. As for
your humidity, if it's too high then you would want to
purchase a DE humidifier and if it's too low, you want to
purchase a humidifier. Usually dryer climates need a
humidifier and humid climates need a DE humidifier. For
example, if you live somewhere like Florida, Santa
Monica, San Diego then you may need a DE humidifier, if
you live somewhere like Arizona, Nevada, or Utah then
you may need a humidifier.
 glue and humidity
Let's go a little bit more in depth, I will now
explain the science behind the glue and
humidity and why it's important.

All lash extension glue contains something

called cyanoacrylate, which is the main
ingredient. This ensures the lash glue dries
quickly and holds the extensions in place for
several weeks. Now here comes the part
where humidity is important.
Cyanoacrylate only cures when moisture is
present, so humidity is pretty much the
"activator" for your adhesive, which is why,
the higher your humidity, the FASTER your
glue cures. If you are just starting out, you
may want to be in the low 30's in order to be
able to place then lash extension on the
natural lash without the glue curing too fast,
causing fall out.
 The difference between CURING & DRYING
As a lash artist, you will always hear the terms drying and
curing but did you know that they mean two different things?

What is curing?
Curing explains the chemical process the adhesive takes going from a
liquid to a solid form. The curing process needs moisture in the air to
fully dry ALL LAYERS of the adhesive. Usually, it takes at least 24 hours
up to 48 hours to thoroughly cure the adhesive HOWEVER, us lash artist
now have developed products to speed up this process. To speed up the
process of curing, we would use a bonder! Bonder cures all layers of the
adhesive almost immediately therefor our clients can get their lashes
wet right after their appointment if needed. This is why I am able to
provide lash baths after the bonding step with zero issues.

What is drying?
Drying is when the exterior or the outer layer of the adhesive dries just
enough for the lash technician to continue applying more lash
extensions. If the lash adhesive is not dry enough, there is a tendency
that lash extensions will clump together and get stuck with
neighboring lashes.
The more technical explanation is that drying is a process in which the
chemical ingredients in the adhesive evaporate in the air making it
harder and easier to work with. When the adhesive is dry, the lash
technician can move on to the next lash extension, safely.
Video Check
 Main ingredients in your adhesive
There are 4 major ingredients that make up your adhesive
and not a lot of courses go over the importance of them
and the roles they play.
Cyanoacrylate: This is the major component in your adhesive and
the base material for all fast curing glues. Cyanoacrylate gives the
adhesive it's curing property meaning that this material is what
ensures the adhesive to dry in a matter of seconds.

Poly Methyl Methacrylate(PMMA):

PMMA is used to reinforce or to aid Cyanoacrylate to create a long
lasting bond. PMMA also helps with
rapid drying, immediate bond to lashes, & several weeks of retention.

Hydroquinone: The one that ensures the adhesive remains a

liquid. Hydroquinone helps to prevent the adhesive from
hardening inside of the bottle. There is VERY small trace of this
ingredient present in adhesives.

Carbon Black: The carbon black that is present in adhesives is

responsible for the deep black color that adhesives usually are. This
ingredient is only absent in clear adhesives. In most cases, if a client is
allergic to carbon black, a clear adhesive is your best choice.
 The next important thing about your glue is your
glue drop, when you are lashing it is recommended
to change your glue dot every 15-30 minutes to
keep your glue fresh and get the best retention.
This is because, as soon as you drop the glue it
begins to polymerize and it will start to dry out and
become thick and tacky. To refresh your glue dot,
NEVER put new adhesive on top of old adhesive.
Properly dispose of your glue ring with the
adhesive in it and get a new one. If you put new
adhesive over old adhesive, the new adhesive will
polymerize super quick and again, cause the new
glue to become thick and tacky. This may also
cause retention issues.
 understanding your glue
Understanding your glue is important for application
because the way you dip your extension in your glue is
vital. First, we went over how to shake your glue when
preparing for a client, the main ingredient in your glue
and how humidity effects your glue but did you know
that how you store your glue is effective in your
application?

Storage: In order to make the most out of your glue, you will need
to ensure that you are properly storing it by keeping it in a cool,
dark, and dry place. For this, you can purchase an airtight glue
storage container. Keep your glue out of direct sunlight.

I used to believe and teach that putting your adhesive in

the fridge would help with longevity and I was in fact very
wrong after doing thorough and complete research.

Putting your adhesive in the fridge is in fact WHAT NOT TO DO.

Reason being is because if it sits in the fridge, condensation will
eventually occur. Although moisture is vital for your adhesive
when applying extensions, the moisture will begin to mix with the
adhesive and begin the crystalizing process within the bottle
before you can apply it to the lash. This will create a weak bond.
 Expired Adhesive & How to Dispose

Most adhesives have shelf lives of 3-6 months unopened and 1

month when opened. Although your adhesive may still "look"
and "work" okay after the 1 month expiration date, DO NOT USE
ON YOUR CLIENTS! Reason being is because after a period of
time that a chemical is opened, chemical reactions happen and
vapors that are unsafe can form. Long terms use of expired
adhesive can cause respiratory irritation and a higher chance
of a client reaction due to harmful fume exposure.

To dispose of your adhesive, take nozzle cap off, pour

water into the bottle, let sit for 24-48 hours depending on
the amount left over and throw away as usual. This will
cure all the adhesive in the bottle & help with containing
the fumes while also preventing a fire hazard due to the
fact that our adhesives are flammable.
So learning about your glue and how it works is important
but you also need to know how to use it with other
products as far as how much to use. Dipping also plays a
big part in your retention. When dipping your extension,
you only want to dip
1-3mm from the base. Anything less will cause for your
extension to pop off because it wasn't secured properly
and anything more may cause for your fan to close or
your set to become stiff, by adding too much glue it can
also cause your lashes to stick together at the base,
resulting in poor isolation and premature shedding.
Picture Examples
Eyelashes are just another way that the body protects itself.
Eyelashes provide a barrier to the eyes to protect the eyes
from dust or fine particles in the air as well as providing
resistance to air flow, helping the eyeball stay hydrated.

There are 3 stages of the eyelash growth cycle.

Anagen, Catagen, and Telogen.
anagen (active growth): This phase is when the lash is
actively growing. This phase lasts between 4-6 weeks. Not
all of your lashes are in the anagen phase at once. About 40%
of your lashes will be in the anlagen phase.During the anagen
phase, the follicles are still strengthening the lashes and
they may not be strong enough to support extra stress (the
lash extension)

Catagen (transition phase): So, the eyelash has reached its natural
length and stops growing. This phase lasts around two to three weeks
and all the work is happening below the surface. The individual
follicles start to shrink, and the individual lashes are pushed toward
their resting phase. Lashes can fall out during this time, but the
follicles still need to complete the cycle before regrowth can happen,
which may be one of the reasons that eyelashes look thinner for
longer if you are prone to losing lashes.
 Telogen (resting phase): This is the last stage in the life of the
eyelash. The follicle starts to weaken and loosen, and the hair
contained will sit dormant and rest until it is ready to fall out. The
good news is this phase lasts somewhere around 100 days, which is
why you will keep a full set of eyelashes in cycle while others are just
starting to grow in other follicles. Once the eyelash naturally falls
out during the telogen phase, it can take between one and two months
before the next anagen phase kicks in and a brand-new delicate little
eyelash starts to grow in taking its place in the follicle.

In this phase, clients may notice that their natural lash is

attached to the base of the lash extension. YES, the lash
extension will shed with the natural lash if applied properly.
To recognize ANAGEN lashes, pay attention to their length
and density. They will be much shorter than the majority of
the lashes and look thin and less dense. If an extension is
applied during this phase, it could cause harm or
discomfort for the client. It’s also typical for the extension
to fall to the side or not fully grasp onto the Anagen lash
during application. If an Anagen lash has an extension
applied, it will slowly start to droop due to excessive
weight on the tip of the lash, and it could break the lash off
or completely pull it out of the follicle.

Catagen lashes are easy to recognize because of

their health and length. They are also very dense
and flexible. This phase is perfect for extensions to
be applied. Due to the strength of a Catagen lash, it
can hold the weight of any type of extension.

The best way to recognize when a lash is in the

Telogen phase is when it is more coarse and
has little to no flexibility. They will still hold the
same strength and length as the Catagen
Phase. These lashes are also perfect for lash
extensions to be applied to.

 Different styles of extensions

Classic: a single lash ext. placed on the NL to

create a natural, subtle look.
Hybrid: a mix between classic and volume fans
to create a natural but full look
Volume: a look using all volume fans to create
a full dramatic look.
Mega Volume: a look that uses wider volume
fans to create a dark, full, fluffy, and over
dramatic set.
 coverage percentage
one of the most important things to know
when creating these sets is COVERAGE
PERCENTAGE, coverage percentage is
just knowing when to lash every single
lash or when it is not necessary.

classic: 100% coverage is necessary for this look

because you are taking ONE SINGLE extension to
apply to the natural lash, Failure to lash 100% will
result in very noticeable gaps when they start to shed
and more frequent refills than usual.

Hybrid: for a hybrid set you want to lash 90-100% of

their lashes, a hybrid is a mix between classic lashes
and fans so if your hybrid starts to look like a volume
and you haven't lashed at least 80% yet, then continue
to fill in their lashes using CLASSICS, this will ensure
that almost every NL is getting lashed while still making
sure they get the look they desire, not too much volume
but the perfect amount of fullness.
 Volume: 80-90%coverage is necessary so you
can get the fullness everyone desires in a
volume set. The only time you should be
lashing only 80% is if they naturally have a full
lash line and their volume starts to look like a
mega volume..

Mega Volume: as for mega volume, you want to

be sure to lash 95-100% of their lashes, mega
volumes are usually the most expensive set that
us artist offer so you want to be sure to give the
client what they are paying for, the more
coverage, the fuller the set. If it starts to get too
full and you know for a fact that it will not suit
your client, you can begin to apply .10 classics for
coverage or leave as is. Everyone's definition of
mega volume is different so just use your best
judgement keeping in consideration, how you
define your sets.
 Diameter, Curl, and Length
Understanding diameter, curl, and length
will make a huge difference in the look of
sets you'd want to achieve.

What is Diameter? Diameter is the width of

the lash. The greater the diameter, the
thicker and heavier the lash extension is.
Diameter runs anywhere from 0.2 - 0.20.

How do I determine what diameter to use?

The look you're creating is how you would
determine what diameter will be of best
use. Classics typically use 0.10 - 0.15 while
volume-mega volume uses 0.3 - 0.7.
 How to use your different
diameters
The lighter the diameter, the wider your
fan can be. The wider the fan, the
FULLER the set will be.

Like stated above, 0.10 - 0.15 are often used for

classic lashes, 0.20 in some cases but your
client's lashes have to be EXTRA healthy. DO NOT
apply 0.20 extensions to sparse lashes. It can
cause permanent balding due to the stress that
the weight puts onto the weak natural lash.

0.02 - 0.07 are used for hybrid- mega volumes.

Hybrid: uses a mix of volume fans and classics,
you can apply 0.10 for classics and use 0.07 for
volume fans, using the 0.07 diameter will allow to
create a smaller fan that is still dark/dense
looking which is ideal for a hybrid, keeping your
set subtle but still full.
Volume: for a volume set, you can use a 0.05 with a mix of
0.07 depending on how full they want their volume set.
Using a 0.05 will allow you to create a wider fan that is
not too heavy for the natural lash, the 0.07 will create
that dark lash line everyone looks for in a volume set. You
mix them by spreading the diameters sporadically across
the eyes OR by layering. Example of layers would be 0.05
on the bottom layer of lashes, and 0.07 on the top. This
will also create an illusion that the clients lashes are
thicker if they don't have a lot of natural lashes to work
with.

the
 Mega Volume: To create the perfect mega set, first
make sure that your client's lashes can handle that.
Although you're using lighter weights, if their lashes
are far too damaged, you might want to steer them
away from mega's and maybe go for classics - light
volumes or refer to them a good serum to use until their
NL are healthy enough.

As far as diameter goes for a mega volume set, you

can use 0.03, 0.03 will allow you to make wide fans
to create that bold fluffy look.
 VOLUME LASH MATH
This volume lash math applies to ALL sets that use
volume fans.. Hybrid,Volume, and Mega Volume.
Remember when we learned about diameters going all
the way up to 0.20? Well, when making volume fans, you
want to watch how many hairs you are grabbing per fan..
no, you don't have to physically count it but just be
mindful that you aren't picking up an excessive amount.
Even though you may be using smaller diameters ( .2-.7)
they an still equal to the amount of a .20 and you never
want to go over that weight. In order to keep your
client's lashes healthy, follow the lash math below!

5 Lashes of 0.07 = 0.18

9 lashes of 0.05 = 0.18
20 Lashes of 0.03 = 0.18

Notice how 0.03 can have up to 20 lashes in a fan? that

is why we want to push to use 0.03 for volume- mega
volume fans..

Different types of curls and when to use them
There are so many different curls ranging from B
curl to M curl but we will only be covering the
standard curls and when to use them. The other
curls are for advanced artist because of how tricky
they are to use. Don't worry, the curls we'll be
learning about are the most common curls in the
industry and can be used for any set.

Starting with the flattest and

ending with curliest curl we have:

C curl
Cc curl
D curl
DD curl
 C curl lashes are the classic choice. They suit nearly every
client for any situation. They have a nice curve and lift that
opens up the eye without looking extreme, so they look
good on nearly every eye shape and natural lash pattern.

CC curl lash extensions gives an eye-opening, natural curve.

These look best on clients with slightly downward-facing or
straight lashes, but can also work with upward-facing lashes.

D curl lashes are very popular with clients that want a dramatic
curve and an open-eyed look. They can be too extreme for clients
with naturally upward-angled lashes but work well for clients
with straight or downward-facing lashes.

DD curls are the most dramatically curved option. The ends curve
so much that they can face the eyelid rather than upwards. As a
result, the lashes look very curly but not necessarily long. This
curl usually isn't beginner friendly nor to flattering on most
clients.
 As a lash artist, it's our job to determine what sets will
suit the client. Here's some tips on how determine what
curls to use.
First, let's look at the
Natural Lash Angle
Downward: With downward-angled lashes, curlier
lashes will help open up the eyes. Opt for reasonably
curly styles like C, CC, and D

Straight: A client with straight-facing, horizontal

lashes can wear the whole spectrum of curls based on
their personal style.

Upward: With upward-facing lashes, a softer curl

like C curl is the best choice. The natural lashes will
“push” the extensions up, so the eyes will still look
open and bright.
 Picture example of
downward, straight, and
upward natural lashes

Downward Straight Upward

 We can't forget to take into
consideration the
Structure of the Eye
Deep-set eyes require a softer curl
like C curl or especially if the eyes are
deep in the sockets. With really curly
curls, the lashes will touch the brow
bone which is what we do not want.

Standard eyes can handle any curl.

Bulging or protruding eyes are also

better enhanced with soft curls since
strong curls would make the eye look
too open. Opt in for a C or Cc curl.
 Picture example
of deep set and
bulging eyes

 Let's take a dive into basic lash maps.
As a beginner, it's important to practice your
basic lash maps before you jump into trying to
create more advanced sets like fluffy classics,
textured and wispy sets, or layering.

In this lesson, we will go over

Natural Sweep Sets,
Systematic Sets, Cat Eye Sets,
and Doll/Open Eye sets.
The lengths used for these sets can be any length you
choose.These lash maps are not based on length but
simply based on how you structure the set. For
example, you can create a really short cat eye using
7-12 mm or a long cat eye using 14-19 mm. It's all
about how you place the lengths.
Natural Sweep
Lash Mapping
Systematic

Cat Eye Lash
Mapping

The cat-eye style consist of shorter lengths gradually

lengthening to long lashes on the corner of the eyes, which
mimics the shape of winged eyeliner. Cat-eye lash styling
creates an elegant lift and an elongated effect on the eyes.
This lash style is perfect for people with round faces, close
set eyes, and round eyes as they help balance your eye
shape and create sharper contours.
 Picture example of
close set eyes and
round eyes

there is very
little distance
between the
inner corner
and nose

eyes appear more

round than
average and may
also appear bigger
This is a cat eye
set that I
created on my
client. The cat
eye enhanced
and elongated
her eyes
beautifully.
Doll/Open Eye
Lash Mapping

This idea of a doll eye lash map uses shorter lashes on the
inner corners, longer in the middle and shorter lashes on
the outer corners.This lash map makes the eyes appear
more open. This is great for clients with smaller eyes, so
the lash map can give the illusion of bigger eyes.
 People often think that these lash maps can only be done
with a specific set which isn't true.
All the lash maps we went over can be done with classic
sets, hybrid sets, volume, and mega volume sets.

Remember that Classic-Mega Volume is just based on

diameter and lash mapping is based on how you structure
your lengths. For example, to do a CLASSIC cat eye, you
would simply follow the cat eye structure using short
lengths in the beginning and gradually adding longer
lengths towards the end but you would use the classic
diameters which consist of either 0.10, 0.15, 0.18 and 0.20

This is an example of a classic cat eye set. See how it's

still a cat eye but different from the cat eye pictured on
page 93? All because we still followed the cat eye map
but with classic diameters instead of volume
diameters.

Application & Fanning

06
 Methods of Application
Starting off with methods of application, it should be
common sense to just dip the extension in glue and
place on top of the NL right? wrong.. although you can
place the extension on top you can also place the
extension on the side of the lash and under as well. It
sounds strange but placing the extension on the side
or under the lash can help TREMENDOUSLY with
retention, especially If the lash is growing straight
downwards or if the NL is curly.

Please refer to the photo above to help with

understanding the basics of application.
Video Check
Crystallizing VS Lash Wrapping
what is it?
Crystallizing: To crystallize a fan, you will make
your fan, dip in the adhesive, and then re pinch the
fan at the base with the adhesive still on there to
ensure that the base is SUPER skinny. This will be
beneficial if you are pro making your fans for
future clients. You can also apply this extension
right away even though it's been crystalized, just
re dip as you normally would and then place.

Lash Wrapping: Lash wrapping can be

beneficial when you are having retention
issues. Lash wrapping is done by making
your fan (usually flower cup method) and
then immediately placing on the natural
lash and wiggling the base therefor the
base will break and wrap around the natural
lash. The natural lash will then be inside of
the base of the extension creating a
STRONG hold.

Click here to find video demonstration

 Falling into methods of application, you want to
make sure that you are applying the lash extension
correctly onto the NL to prevent damage. You
always want to apply the extension AT LEAST 2mm
away from the base of the lash. You don't EVER want
your extension touching your client's eyelid. The
glue should never touch your client's skin for one
and for two , it will cause your client to swell
severely due to irritation.
How far is 2mm away?

As you can see by the photo, you also want to make sure
that you are not applying the extension too far from the
base, this will cause premature breaking and more
frequent fills. You also want to make sure that the base
of the extension is flush with the base of the NL to
prevent debris getting trapped and also causing
discomfort.
Advanced Application

I tell all my students to apply 2 mm away

because you guys aren't yet familiar with
adhesive control nor placement. Once you get
comfortable, you can place 0.5-1mm away
from the eyelid.

so instead of the 2mm distance, the white line is what

it would look like 0.5-1mm away from the lid
 Proper Isolation
As important as it is to know the basics of
application, it's also HIGHLY important that you
understand isolation. Isolation is when you use your
tweezer to isolate one single lash. Please refer to
the picture below
Looking at the picture above, this is the correct way to isolate,
failure to do so will cause pain for your client, why? Well each
lash sheds differently and is on a different lash cycle, when
one sheds the other still has more ways to go, say you glue an
extension onto 2 different lashes, what will happen? the lash
extension will grow with the NL so if one is growing faster than
the other, it will RIP the NL from the follicle which can cause
swelling and extreme pain. Please remember that the eye is so
delicate, treat it as such. Below will be a picture of what
improper isolation looks like.

Notice how there are THREE NL adhered to one fan,

this will cause bald spots, gaps, and pain for your
client.

NOW, THE FUN PART.

This is where it get's hands on! there's no
amount of words that can explain the
EXTREME IMPORTANCE of precise fanning and
thin bases. Please click below to watch the
video.

after watching the video and

practicing as much as you need to,
please come back to the E-BOOK to
continue the module.
 The first step to making a perfect fan is making sure your
tweezers are up to par. Make sure that your tweezer has the
perfect grip in order to pick up the hairs off the lash strip. Also
make sure that you are using the CORRECT tweezers, if you are
unsure of what tweezers to use, please refer to page 14.

Looking at your lash strip , you want to bring your

tweezers as close as possible to the base, your
tweezers should be lined up straight with the lash
strip. Close your tweezers and slowly pull TOWARDS
you. Make sure that you are holding a tight grip
when pulling the hairs off the strip. Once off the
strip, take your index finger and your thumb and
pinch the base of the fan, as you are pinching the
fan, slightly loosen your grip on your tweezers.
Loosening your grip will allow the hairs to fan. when
you have your fan, dip into your glue and you are
now ready to place.
 retention at it's finest
You may have seen the term "retention"
previously in the module, but did you know
exactly what it meant?
The term retention in the lash industry is
something that you will hear a lot. It's important
to know what this means, retention means how
well the extension holds onto the NL, this
matters because ideally, your client should be
coming in with at least 45-50% of their lashes
still on within 2 weeks. There are some factors
that will prevent that from happening that are
not in your control but let's go over what you can
control in order to get GOOD retention

keep reading, it's about to get juicy..

 What I'm about to tell you , is the KEY to getting
the best retention as a beginner lash artist.

First things first.. CLEAN LASHES!

Tell your client to come with absolutely NO make
up, this makes our jobs easier as a lash artist.
Even though they came with no make up, give
EVERYONE a lash bath and I mean EVERYONE.
Lather the appropriate lash cleanser and use
your cleansing brush to get in there and remove
all dirt and oils that may be sitting on the lashes.

Lash Bath Secrets

Put contact solution in your lash bath instead of
water.. yea I said it! CONTACT SOLUTION, also
known as saline. Saline is great when prepping the
lash because it strips oils and debris, allowing a
healthy, tighter bond between cyanoacrylate and
the natural lash. It also helps restore the lashes PH
LEVELS so WIN WIN.

PRIME. PRIME. PRIME.

NOT priming your client's lashes is like not priming the
walls before you paint.. what happens? The paint
literally falls off. Your client's lashes will too.
ONLY PRIME YOUR OILY CLIENTS
 ISOLATE. ISOLATE. ISOLATE.
Isolation is KEY to retention. Remember we
learned how important it is to isolate?
Isolation also helps with retention because
when you isolate correctly while also using the
right diameters and length, it puts less stress
on the NL, therefor causing it to go through its
ENTIRE cycle. Poor isolation will result in
putting stress on the NL which will cause
premature breakage, and when the natural
lash breaks, what goes with it? RIGHT! the
extensions.

PLACEMENT. PLACEMENT. PLACEMENT.

for MAXIMUM retention, try to place the
extension UNDERNEATH the natural lash, be sure
to dip the base of the extension 2-3 mm into the
glue so the NL can be FLUSH with the extension.
This will help because the extension will not
become loose and it will create a seal to where
debris can not get in between.
 A great retention hack is sealing and bonding the
lashes after you've finished the set. I will go over
my EXACT steps that help me with outstanding
retention.

1. Let your set air dry for approximately 2-3 minutes after
placing your final lash.
2. After the 2-3 minutes is up, apply your BONDER. Let that
air dry for another 1-2 minutes. A little goes a long way so
please keep in mind that more is not always better.
3. After applying your bonder and letting it air dry, IF your
client is oily, you can provide a lash bath to fluff and open
the fans back. Once you've provided your lash bath, you
can dry as usual with your fan and then apply a SMALL
amount of sealer. This is the step that locks everything
into place. After letting that dry you can now brush
through the lashes and have your client open their eyes
when you feel is appropriate.

Please notice how I said air dry and not drying with
your fan, this is because when you are fanning so
closely , it causes the humidity to drop and
remember that humidity is one of the most
important things when working with your glue.
 Also notice the times in between drying. This is
important because if the glue is not all the way dry,
it can cause something called SHOCK CURE. Shock
cure is something that happens when you apply
liquid to the glue that is still wet, it will leave a
white residue on your clients lashes and it will
definitely be noticeable.

Debunking an Old School Myth

Most instructors will teach you to tell your client that they have to wait 24-48
hours before getting their lashes wet but let's be serious. Are we really going
to take a shower without getting our lashes wet or avoid washing our face and
hair for 1-2 days? Just to avoid our lashes getting wet? NO.

Truth is, that was an old school practice but we are a new generation
of lash techs, we are NEW school, and we now have the technology
and ingredients to debunk that myth! If you are applying bonder on
your clients lashes after a set, they will be able to get their lashes wet
immediately. Reason being is because adhesive dries from inside out,
meaning it starts in the middle and continues to cure all around but
with bonder, bonder helps the adhesive cure ALL throughout right
away. Meaning it cures from outside in & voila, you can now get them
wet right away and even go as far as providing a lash bath
immediately like stated on the previous page.
 Retention Killers
You know retention hacks for the best
results but now it's time to go over retention
KILLERS. Below will be a chart of retention
killers that you can educate your clients on.
Educating your clients is a big part in
retention because their after care reflects
your work.

sleeping on their face not washing lashes every day

crying using mascara

using oily products taking super hot showers

rubbing or picking not brushing lashes

smoking being to close to open fire

using sunscreen applying make up often

 when / why to turn away a client
As a beginner, you might be tempted to take every
single client you encounter but some time during
your lash journey, you will have to turn a client
away unfortunately, not every client is a good
candidate for lash extensions and we will go over
why.

When becoming a lash artist, you don't only want to

make a client happy but you also want to make sure
that their natural lash remains healthy during the
process. Down below will list multiple examples on
when to turn away a client and why.
 Examples
A client comes in and has very short sparse lashes, she
states that she is on medication and it thins her hair so that's
the reason she's getting extensions, however, she wants bold
mega volumes. What do you do?

Answer: you advise her that she is not the best

candidate for mega volumes, but you can try a
lighter approach like classics or a very natural
hybrid. She doesn't want either of those styles so
you would politely turn her away and tell her that you
guys may not be the best match.
WHY? Reason being is because a mega volume fan
will be entirely too much weight for her sparse
lashes. You can lash her but within 3 days, her
lashes are bound to snap and it will reflect your
work.

this absolutely can not hold a mega

volume.
You have a client that comes in with severe allergies
and her eyes are red and puffy.. however, she says
that it's okay for you to lash her but will you?

Answer: absolutely not. You politely tell her that she is

not the best candidate as of right now and should
consult with her doctor immediately. When cleared, she
may come back.
WHY? if you are lashing over something that is already
irritated, it's likely that it will inflame even more, making
it impossible to cleanse the lashes properly and
resulting in infection that can then fall back on you.

You're performing a fill on a client that is a regular,

after awhile you start to realize that she NEVER
follows proper after care and there is build up / dead
skin on her lashes. If you have told her multiple times
that she needs to purchase a lash shampoo and she
says she's fine.. what do you do?
Answer: you respectfully part ways and tell her that you
can no longer service her.
WHY? Because you repeatedly told her about proper after
care and she still did not follow instructions , you now
have to waste extra time picking dead skin off her lashes
and now she is at high risk of blepharitis which again can
fall back on you and effect your other clients.
 Please remember that this is YOUR business, do
not feel bad turning away clients who are not a
good match for you.

Becoming your own boss, also means knowing how

to deal with clients. We went over when & why to
turn away a client but what about refunds, dealing
with unhappy clients, and how to keep from those
clients ruining what you've built.
 You will encounter so many people in your
journey but you most definitely won't be able to
please every single one of them. If you have an
upset client always remember to remain
professional and STAND YOUR GROUND.. what I
mean by that is NEVER offer a full refund right
away.Your time? COST. Your product? COST.
Your effort? COST. If a client is unhappy with her
lashes, you have so many other options to try
and please her. You can start by trying to figure
out why she doesn't feel happy with her results,
you can then offer a free fix and if she doesn't
budge you can offer 20$ off her next service,
still not working? At this point you can offer her
HALF of her money back. If that still doesn't
accommodate her needs, you can offer a full
refund BUT she will have to come in so you can
remove her lashes as well. Never let a client walk
around with your product FOR FREE. You can
also have them sign a policy waiver before their
appointment that states that refunds are not
available, also post it up on your social media or
booking websites, doing so will ensure that
nothing falls back on you.
 Marketing & promoting
Other than basic knowledge as a lash tech, it's
important to know how to market and promote.
As a beginner, you want to use this time to grow
your page as much as you can. Social media will
be your best friend, if you're camera shy? I advise
you not to be. Get it out your system. like NOW.

I know what you're thinking, how do I promote if I

don't have clients.. easy, join your local Facebook
groups, mom groups in your area and yard sale
groups too! you want as much exposure as
possible, for example look up on facebook
"[YOUR CITY] MARKETPLACE"
"[YOUR CITY] BUY,SELL TRADE"
"[YOUR CITY] MOM GROUP" once you join these
groups, start making post, in your post, mention
that you need 3 FREE models to do eyelash
extensions on for your portfolio and watch the
comments roll in, if you're too uncomfortable
doing that, start practicing on your family and
acquaintances. Everyone loves free stuff so you
are bound to get AT LEAST one model.
however , if this does not work in your favor, keep practicing on
your mannequin and post your mannequin work!
 Cold Marketing
Another marketing tip is COLD MARKETING, which
is old school marketing, have a referral program set
in place. If your client refers 6 people, give them a
free service or a discounted service, eventually this
will bring in friends, family, friends of friends, and
etc.
Pass out business cards wherever you go, do you go
shopping? leave your business cards on shelves, in
boxes, near candles, near the make up aisle, near
the baby aisle, anywhere you know that someone is
bound to see it. If you see a girl with falsies, offer
her a business card and 10% off for her first visit ,
see a mom? mention how she's more than welcome
to catch a break and come get beautified for a
discounted price. Go around town and ask to leave
business cards, do you get your nails done?
Eyebrows? Hair? ask your tech or stylist if you can
possibly leave business cards as well. Someone will
be happy to pick up or leave with your card.
If you haven't already, join lash groups on facebook
as well, lash groups are a group of lash techs who
give you awesome advice, they also do follow trains
which is great to gain followers, these lash groups
will teach you so much, here are a couple of my
favorite groups.
Lash Artist Tips and Tricks

Lash Tech Techniques

Lash Barbs

Beginner Lash Artist Tips

Lash Artist Business Support

These groups are FULL of beginner techs, soon to be techs,
and experienced techs/ trainers. If you are stuck on
something, you can simply post in these lash groups and ask
for advice/ feedback and they will help a TON! They also
motivate you on your worst days so you always feel like you
have a lash bestie!
 social media marketing
Remember when I said social media will become
your best friend? Well now is the time, let me
introduce you to social media marketing. Now
days, it's all about social media. When someone
wants a service, what do they do? look for
someone on social media. Let's start off with
your post. HASHTAGS, HASHTAGS, HASHTAGS,
use hashtags that are relevant to your post, also
use hashtags that have your location and even
surrounding areas about 20 miles out, when you
put your location in your hashtags someone is
most likely going to come across your page
when they look for techs in their area.

Besides using hashtags with your location, here's some

hashtags that are my absolute favorite and bring traffic to
my page.
#lashretention #lashtips #hollywoodlashartist
#popularlashtech #celebritylashtech #hottestlashartist
#25mmlashes #dcurl #ddcurl #cccurl #megavolume
#volumelashes #lashextensions #lashboxla #lashbabe
#lashsecrets
 Always remember to use hashtags that
have to do with your CONTENT. Irrelevant
hashtags will not get you your target
audience. When using these hashtags be
sure to switch it up, don't use the same
hashtags in every single post as if you are
just copy and pasting, this will mess up
your algorithm and you may get shadow
banned (meaning instagram will hide your
post from new people). They don't have to
be completely different but take out about
4 hashtags every post and replace it with
new ones. You can look at other lash pages
to see what hashtags they are using as
well.
 content
Aside from hashtags , What kind of content should you post?
When should you post? What platforms should you post on?

You should make content that relates to your business

and what you do, first of all, post your work of course,
make sure you are taking quality pictures of your
work. Other than your work, make INSTAGRAM REELS,
you can record behind the scenes lashing, real life lash
tech problems (people love drama), and informative
post.Typically, you should be posting 1-3 times a day,
when you repeatedly show up on someones timeline,
they will eventually think of you when it is time to get
their lashes done or if someone needs a
recommendation.You should be posting on ALL
platforms whether it's Instagram, Facebook,
Snapchat, TikTok, or Twitter. People like to see that
you are repetitive when it comes to owning a
business, they like to see that you are active. Also,
someone may not have a certain platform so it will be
beneficial if you can offer a platform that they do
have. If they have ZERO social media, that's when you
show them pictures of your work and give them a
business card so they can come in and see for
themselves.
 Social Media Bio
Everything plays a part in clientele, when
someone is looking for a service, they
don't want to see how many kids you
have in your bio or who you're married to.
Don't put a summary about what you do
for a living or your hobbies.

If you don't know what you should put in your

bio, keep reading. I'll show you an example!

The template will be from instagram but you can

also apply this information to your other social
platforms.

people are in a rush and very impatient. You
want your potential client to see that their

having to text you and wait for a reply.
 booking website
Having a booking website is crucial to bringing in
clientele. Clients DO NOT want to wait for a reply
or DM back and forth. Why put them in a hassle
when they can literally click a few buttons and
know that they have a secured appointment.Work
smarter not harder.

 where to register for insurance

you can register for insurance at

Nextinsurance.com
Do not ever think that nothing will never go
wrong, you NEED to have insurance. Sure, you
can run your business without it but that doesn't
mean you should. Business Insurance covers the
cost associated with property damage and
liability claims. Without insurance, you may have
to pay out of pocket for costly damages and
legal claims against your company.

Insurance often scares off small business

owners who are new to this! So many
people think that insurance is costly but if
you use the website above, you can get full
coverage for as low as 30$ a month! If you
have never filled an insurance claim, don't
worry.. I will post my template on the next
page with answers to your questions.
When filling out your insurance, you will be filling out
your basic info first. The questions asked will be
something along the lines of
what do you do for work?
how many owners?
any employees?
name of business?
about how much do you make?
in some cases, your social security and a picture
of your ID

Answer these questions truthfully.

They will then ask you about something called

limits which is circled in the picture above. This
section is just choosing how much money you
want to cover for each occurrence. You can
enter your own numbers or you can use the
numbers I have listed.
 To find these categories, please look at
page 81 for reference.
Each Occurrence: $1,000,000.00
Damage to rented premises: $100,000.00
Medical Expenses: $15,000.00
Personal & ADV Injury: $1,000,000.00
General Aggregate: $2,000,000.00
Products -Comp/Op AGG: $2,000,000.00

After you have filled out all the numbers, they

will have you confirm that everything is correct
and then have you pay. Once paid, they email
you a copy of your certificate of insurance and
you now READY TO GO.

If you have any questions about this part of the

module, please do not hesitate to ask during
your FaceTime/Zoom call. I will be glad to
answer your questions.

When practicing lash extensions, you only

need a few supplies, you don't need

I have witnessed so many beginner techs
splurging on supplies and then realizing
that this isn't something they want to do
so they have to turn around and get rid of
everything.

How to make your lash room
aesthetically pleasing
When setting up your lash room, try to find a
theme. For instance, my color theme is black,
grey, & pink with hints of white and beige.
You want to make your lash room a safe
space for your clients, even if you are lashing
from a living room or bedroom, you can put
up a room divider, have a cute waiting chair
in the corner, have a comfy lash bed and a
snack cart. THERE IS NO EXCUSES!

Fiber grip tweezers are perfect for beginners because these

tweezers have an all around sweet spot. You will be able to
pick up the lashes off the strip with no problem.
 You may notice that amazon products are more
affordable than other brands. However, most amazon
products (besides the disposables) are NOT for long
term use. Products like adhesive tweezers, liquidated
items such as primer, bonder, and remover should
eventually be purchased from reputable brands. reason
being is because the liquidated items sit in the
warehouse for long periods of time under alternating
weather conditions which can cause issues with your
supplies and cause faulty sets.

Here are some other great brands

that I used as a beginner

SOCOLASHES: Stay awhile adhesive, Primer, Sealer

 ALRIGHTTT NOW, I HAVE TO GET A LITTLE STERN WITH YOU GUYS
ON THIS SUBJECT BECAUSE I JUST WANT THE BEST FOR YA

You may be quick to purchase one of these

amazon kits because they're super cheap and
have ALL the supplies you need right?.. Well
did you stop and wonder why I listed all
individual products in my amazon storefront
rather than a kit with all the supplies? Hmm

Even though you're still in your practicing stage, the quality of

your supplies matter a ton. Cheap is not always a "deal". You'll
probably become frustrated and figure you can't do this
whole lash artist thing because you're struggling to do things
like make a fan or getting your glue to stick when all you had
to do was upgrade your supplies..
 If you find a kit that consist of a mannequin
head and disposable like lipstick wands, eye
pads, glue rings, tape etc. then that's fine but
the kits that consist of lashes, glue, and
tweezers, you should AVOID.
 The kits that consist of lashes, glue, and
tweezers will have you questioning why you
even chose this career. The lash trays are so
plasticky and hard, not to mention their
probably easy fans, the glue is either super
runny or super thick, fumes make your head
hurt, and it doesn't stick, and the tweezers
will NOT help you when trying to grip the
lashes to make a fan.

Try to purchase the products

individually as listed on my
amazon storefront.

 How to read your lash trays

All the information you

need will be on the
bottom of the tray.

Where it says
0.05, this is the
diameter, which
is the thickness/
weight of the
natural lash
which we have
learned
previously in the
course.

The "12mm" is the length of the whole

The letter "D" is tray. If there is only one number, then that
initiating that it's is the ONLY length in the tray. Although
the curl of the lash. you won't find mixed curl trays, you will
often find mixed length trays. If they are
Lash trays will
mixed trays, you will see something like
never ever consist "14-19mm" or "20-25mm"
of different curls.
How to place an order of lash trays
I often get this question a lot, "how many lash trays
should I be purchasing" and the answer is, it all
depends on you and your clientele.

When you are a beginner tech , you

want to have trays to practice with
and trays to use on your clients.
For practice, you should get 4 trays.
(1) 0.3 tray
(1) 0.5 tray
(1) 0.7 tray
(1) 0.15 tray

These trays can be mixed trays so

you can play with different lengths &
they can all be different curls so you
can experience different curls as
well. Whether it's C, Cc, D, or DD curl.
For your clients, you want to have at least 3 curls
on hand. C, Cc, and D curl are most common
(DD curl is often way to curly for most clients)
As far as length, try having at least
10-20 mm on hand. Eventually, if you
want to offer longer lengths, you can do
so but if you are just starting out and
you're on a budget, these lengths will do!

Your order should look something like this:

(1) 0.3 MM
length: mixed 8-15 mm
curl: C

(1) 0.5 MM
length: mixed 14-19 mm
curl: Cc
Practice Trays

(1) 0.7 MM
length: mixed 20-25 mm
curl: D

(1) 0.15 mm
length: mixed 8-15 mm
curl: D
 For your trays that you will be using on your clients, I would highly
recommend using single trays. Mixed trays only come with 1-3 of
each length and you'll end up spending more money than needed.
you can start small and get 2 trays for each length.

Your order should look something like this:

Volume Trays 0.3,0.5, & 0.7

(1) 10 mm

(2) 12mm (2) 12 mm

 a huge thank you
Thank you so much for purchasing my E-Book, I put
so much planning, time, trial and error, and hard work
into this course so future lash artist can get the
education they need without spending 800+ dollars
on a 1 day course. I tried to cover as much information
as possible that will help you better understand your
lash journey. Thank you for trusting me and PLEASE
REMEMBER that you can reach out to me whenever
you feel discouraged, or need a little more
mentorship!

Sincerely, your new lash bestie
