When you first step into the wonderful world of lash extensions, your instinct tells you to start asking for advice regarding the best lash extension glue in all the professional groups and communities you have just recently joined. But, this will only lead to a few dozen recommendations and a lot of confusion. Why? Because every lash maker has…
“Lash life is all fun and games!” Is it? Successful lash makers may seem lucky, but this is not what has made them reach the top. The world of beauty, of lash extensions, is just like any other – competitive, challenging, tough. Only the strongest survive.
But first, let’s talk about a few common lash life myths that affect society’s perception on this profession:
The base becomes very narrow and very precise. It is almost perfect and made for natural eyelashes.
The humidity is absolutely irrelevant; different from the Peachick technique.
We Lash makers have to understand that this situation exists and we cannot change it – as much as we wish we could. First and foremost, it is important that we strictly adhere to the recommended guidelines to help reduce the infection rate. I think it’s really bad what I get to read in the communities.
The life of a lash trainer is not always easy.
On the contrary: it is getting harder and harder to be successful in our industry. Only those who are strong can keep their business alive in this market.
I noticed that most lash makers are no longer willing to pay a higher price for training.
Lash adhesives differ in their capabilities (viscosity, drying time etc.), but not in adhesive strength. Humidity and room temperature have nothing to do with the adhesive strength, but influence solely the drying time of the adhesive.
The world of eyelashes is not necessarily easy to withstand. To be able to stand out here, you should acquire a thick skin. 99.9% of the eyelash business is owned by women. When many women meet, there is a lot of envy and “catfight”. Both are totally unnecessary; because if we hold each other up and work together instead of against each other, we can be more successful.
