How to Choose the right Eyelash Extension Type for a customer, Length, Thikness, Volume - Video 5

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of choosing the right eyelash extension type for your customers. Understanding the various options in length, thickness, and volume is essential for providing a tailored experience that meets individual preferences and needs.

Step 1: Understand Eyelash Extension Types

Familiarize yourself with the different types of eyelash extensions available. Each type serves a specific purpose and can dramatically change a client's appearance.

• Classic Extensions: Ideal for a natural look, using a 1:1 application technique.
• Volume Extensions: Multiple ultra-fine lashes are applied to each natural lash for a fuller, more dramatic effect.
• Hybrid Extensions: A mix of classic and volume techniques to provide a unique look that balances both styles.

Step 2: Determine the Appropriate Length

Selecting the right length of eyelash extensions is crucial for achieving the desired look. Consider the following:

• Natural Lash Length: Extensions should not exceed the length of the natural lashes to avoid damage.
• Desired Look: Longer lashes create a more dramatic effect, while shorter lengths maintain a natural appearance.
• Client Preferences: Discuss with your client what they envision to ensure satisfaction.

Step 3: Choose the Right Thickness

Thickness impacts both the appearance and the health of the natural lashes. Here’s how to select the appropriate thickness:

• 0.07 mm: Commonly used for volume lashes, providing a soft look.
• 0.10 mm: Suitable for a natural look but still adds noticeable length.
• 0.15 mm and above: Ideal for clients seeking a more dramatic or bold appearance.

Step 4: Assess Volume Options

Volume refers to the density of the lashes applied. Understanding the volume options will help you cater to your client's style:

• Light Volume: A subtle enhancement, perfect for clients who prefer a natural look with a bit more fullness.
• Medium Volume: Adds noticeable density without overwhelming the natural lashes.
• Mega Volume: For clients desiring maximum fullness and drama, involving several fine lashes per natural lash.

Step 5: Communicate with the Client

Effective communication is key to ensuring client satisfaction. Follow these steps:

• Consultation: Discuss desired looks, maintenance, and aftercare.
• Show Examples: Use photos or previous work to illustrate different styles.
• Manage Expectations: Clearly explain what can be achieved based on their natural lashes and desired outcome.

Step 6: Final Considerations

Before proceeding with the application, keep the following in mind:

• Allergies and Sensitivities: Always check for any allergies to adhesives.
• Lifestyle Factors: Consider how active your client is, as this may affect their choice of extensions.
• Maintenance: Discuss the importance of regular fills to keep the lashes looking their best.

Conclusion

Choosing the right eyelash extension involves understanding the types, lengths, thicknesses, and volumes available.
