Whether you're just starting out or refining your skills, every lash tech has questions. We’ve rounded up the most common ones — and answered them with honest, experience-backed advice.
🔥 1. What’s the difference between Classic, Hybrid, and Volume lashes?
-
Classic: One extension per natural lash (1:1). Natural and clean.
-
Hybrid: A mix of Classic and Volume fans for texture.
-
Volume: Handmade or premade fans applied per lash (3D–20D). Fuller and fluffier.
💧 2. Why won’t my lash glue stick properly?
It’s likely an issue with:
-
Humidity or temperature — Use a hydrometer to monitor your space.
-
Poor lash prep — Always cleanse and dry lashes properly.
-
Old glue — Replace every 4–6 weeks, and shake well before use.
📅 3. How often should clients get infills?
Every 2–3 weeks is standard. After 4 weeks, most techs recommend a full new set due to natural shedding and grown-out lashes.
🧪 4. What’s the best glue for beginners?
Look for a slower-drying glue (1–2 second dry time). This gives you a bit more time to adjust the fan before it cures. Be sure to match the glue to your workspace humidity.
📸 5. How do I get better at lash mapping and styling?
-
Practice with face charts or mannequin heads
-
Take photos of every set to review your shape and symmetry
-
Try pre-drawing your map on eye pads with colored markers
🧼 6. What do I need for proper lash prep?
-
Lash cleanser or lash foam like our Whipped Cream Cleanser
-
Rinse bottle with distilled water
-
Lint-free wipes
-
Eye pads + tape for secure isolation
Prep is retention. Don’t skip it.
💬 7. Is it okay to message clients to remind them to book?
Yes — it’s not pushy, it’s professional. A gentle reminder keeps your books full and shows your clients you’re organised and care about their lash maintenance.
💡 8. Can I use premade fans and still create high-quality sets?
Absolutely. Today’s heat-bonded premades (like ours 😉) are lightweight, symmetrical, and safe when applied correctly. They save time and deliver consistent results.
