Starting your lash artistry journey? The right tools are a total game-changer. They affect everything: application ease, retention, client satisfaction, and your own confidence.
We know starting can feel overwhelming. That's why we've created a no-fluff list of true essentials to get you started right—without the high cost.
1. Lash Extension Tweezers
Think of a great pair of tweezers as your most trusted partner in lashing! Here's a simple breakdown of what you need:
- Dominant Hand: A 45° pickup tweezer is your go-to tool for its versatility across different lash types.
- Non-Dominant Hand: Straight or slightly curved isolation tweezers are easiest for beginners to master.
Since preference for shape, tension, and weight varies, we recommend trying a beginner bundle. It's the best way to find your perfect match and lash efficiently without fatigue!
A common beginner mistake is choosing the strongest glue, ignoring their actual speed and environment. 😬
The golden rule? Match the adhesive's drying speed to your own technique and studio conditions (humidity & temperature). The best way to find your perfect match? Experiment with sample sizes first!
3. Lash Trays: Your First Choice
Start with mixed trays (C & D curl) for flexibility.
- Classic/Flat Lashes: The 0.15mm diameter is the standard choice.
- Promade Fans: 5D, 8D, or 10D for more volume.
4. Lash Liquids
- Lash Primer is used to deep clean natural lashes and enhance adhesive retention. (Note: If you already use a lash shampoo, a primer may be unnecessary.)
- Lash Remover is essential for safely dissolving extensions. For beginners, a cream-based formula is highly recommended as its thicker consistency prevents running, allowing for greater control during removal.
Mini Lash Fan
Using a mini lash fan offers key benefits: it accelerates adhesive drying, reduces adhesive fumes, and minimizes potential sensitivity for your clients.
