As a master lash tech with over 10 years of experience, my advice for achieving the perfect classic lash set is all about personalization. No two clients have the same eye shape or natural lash type, which makes it essential to start with a thorough consultation. This helps determine the most flattering lash lengths, curls, and styles to suit their desired look.
The key to a classic lash set is enhancing natural beauty in a subtle yet elegant way. The focus should be on choosing lash extensions that blend seamlessly with your client’s natural lashes, providing a polished look that doesn’t overwhelm their features. Opt for lash lengths and curls that complement their eye shape while maintaining the health of their natural lashes. Extensions should never cause stress or damage to the natural lashes, so it’s crucial to balance the desired style with what's appropriate for each client’s lash strength and condition.
Using premium-quality lashes and adhesive is non-negotiable for both lash health and longevity. Not only does this ensure the best retention for your clients, but it also contributes to the overall appearance and comfort of their extensions.
When applying a classic set, consistency in lash placement and isolation is key. Clean and precise work allows the lashes to look flawless, natural, and comfortable for the client to wear. The effort you put into isolation and placement ensures the extensions remain clean and long-lasting.
Don’t forget the importance of educating your clients on proper aftercare. Advise them to avoid oil-based products around their eyes, cleanse their lashes regularly with a lash-safe cleanser, and gently brush their lashes daily to maintain their shape. With these tips, your clients can keep their lash extensions looking fresh and beautiful for weeks.
At the end of the day, a well-executed classic lash set should highlight your client’s natural beauty with timeless elegance, all while ensuring the health and safety of their natural lashes.
