If lash tapes aren't already in your professional toolkit, you're overlooking one of the most valuable efficiency boosters in eyelash extensions. These unsung heroes of the lash world offer game-changing benefits that can transform your application process.
1. Secure the Bottom Lashes
There’s nothing worse than completing a lash treatment only to discover the bottom lashes stuck to the top ones. To avoid this, always secure the lower lashes using both under-eye gel pads and lash tape. For proper application, have your client look upward as you gently place the pads along the lower lash line, ensuring they don’t touch the eye. Then, use two or three pieces of lash tape to cover any remaining bottom lashes, even the smallest ones. Once everything is in place, ask your client to close their eyes, then slightly adjust the pads and tapes downward to avoid irritation. Always check for comfort, especially with clients who have sensitive or active eyes. After all, our priority is giving clients a relaxing session and flawless lashes.
2. Expose the Inner Corner
Having trouble accessing those tricky inner corner lashes? Don’t worry—lash tape is your secret weapon! Simply place the tape close to the inner corner and gently pull outward to lightly tension the skin, exposing those hard-to-reach lashes. This trick simplifies isolation and application while keeping your client comfortable. Just remember—the inner corner is delicate, so handle with care. When removing the tape, peel sideways (horizontally) to avoid irritation and ensure a smooth, pain-free experience.
3. Change the Angle of Lashes
Gently applying lash tape to the eyelid and lifting it upward helps elevate natural lashes, creating better visibility along the lash line for more precise extension placement. This method works wonders for clients with hooded eyes, sagging lids, or lashes that grow downward. For safety, always confirm your client's eyes remain completely closed throughout the process to avoid exposure to adhesive fumes.
4. Reduce Twitching Eyes
Lash tape can also help calm eyelid twitches —common for first-time clients, those who had too much coffee, or anyone feeling stressed. The trick? Gently press tape over the lid to create light tension. For extra calming effect, top it with a sanitized coin for subtle weight. Pair this with soothing music and invite clients to relax (or even nap!). Most twitching eases as they unwind.
