There is no "right" way to complete the many components that form an eyelash extension service. However, there is a "right" result that will keep your clients happy! The following prep method that I am going to share is not exclusive to me, it is the tried and true process that I was taught.
I was inspired to share this "secret sauce" process after seeing so many lash artists come into my classroom with bad habits. The major bad habit? Artists taping lashes down before using the gel pads OR using the the gel pads to anchor the lashes.
When you kick these bad habits and work on becoming a master of taping and prep, you are able to protect the delicate skin around the eyes and ensure a painless exit when the tape is removed. Your clients will happily not feel a thing!

A smooth, flawless wax can leave your skin looking and feeling incredible, but proper aftercare is essential to maintain those results and keep your skin healthy. Freshly waxed skin is more sensitive and needs extra attention to avoid irritation, redness, or ingrown hairs.
