It is no secret that eyelash extensions are a hot trend in the beauty world right now. Aspiring lash technicians are faced with the question of what materials they need to purchase for a starter kit. Lash supply stores offer a huge range of brands and materials for eyelash extensions.
More often than not, such variety confuses and complicates the choices for lash artists who strive to provide the best service for all their clients .
We’ve put together an ultimate overview of the basic must-have eyelash extension products you need to run your lash business smoothly.
Eyelash Extensions:
The most important material for a lash technician is, no doubt, lash extensions. It can be difficult for an aspiring lash artist to decide which eyelash extensions to choose. There are many brands and types available in the lash supply store that differ in diameter, length, curl, color, and, of course, price.
A basic set will consist of a mix-type tray, which includes black eyelashes of different lengths, one of the standard curls being C or D, and with the optimal thickness of 0.10 mm.
Individual Lash Extension Glue:
When choosing an adhesive, pay attention to its working conditions. Always adjust the humidity and air temperature in your working environment to the ideal setting for the adhesives to perform more consistently.
As a beginning lash artist, you will need more time to place the lash in the right position , so opt for an adhesive with a 3-5 second drying time.
There are two types of removers . Cream remover is best to purchase for a starter kit , as it is the most convenient way to remove an entire set of extension lashes. Lash extension gel remover is well-suited for both the complete removal of eyelash extensions and their correction.
Lash Shampoo:
Lash shampoo is designed to effectively clean both natural lashes and lash extensions before applying adhesive, helping glue retention and long wear. It is a great retail product sold as a care solution to help your clients maintain their beautiful new lash extensions.
Lash Extension Pads:
When it comes to lash extension under-eye pads, it is best to choose moisturizing hydrogel pads that provide gentle care to the delicate area under the eyes. You can select any convenient type of material for isolating the lower eyelashes, ensuring it does not cause any discomfort or allergic reaction.
We do not recommend using ordinary stationery tape for this purpose, as it may damage your client’s skin, causing swelling and pain after the extension treatment.
Pro Tip :
Purchase products from the same manufacturer, as this prevents ingredient incompatibilities. You can find everything you need in our lash extension supply store.
