No one is perfect, and that includes lash artists. We all make mistakes occasionally, but the key is to learn from them so we can avoid them in the future. In this blog post, I’ll be sharing some of the most common lash application mishaps and how to avoid them. By knowing what to avoid and by following these tips, you’ll be able to achieve better results with each lash application and keep each client safe. So let’s get started!

Our goal is to avoid causing any damage to our clients eyes and make sure their experience getting eyelash extensions is as stress free as possible.

 

Common Mistakes You Make while Applying Eyelash Extension

 

        1. Eyelid trauma

          By adhering lash extensions too close or directly on the eyelid touching the skin, cyanoacrylate adhesives will create serious burns and irritations to the eyelid skin. Their eyelids will swell up and mimic an allergic reaction, or cause an accelerated reaction to the adhesive. When the natural lashes grow, they will slowly pull apart the adhesive from the skin leaving a small open wound highly vulnerable to infection.

          To avoid this lash application mishap, place the lash extensions 0.5-1mm away from the eyelid skin.

        2. Follicle obstruction

          Death of natural lashes. Cyanoacrylate based adhesives are not to be touched to the eyelid skin. The adhesive will be clogging the natural lashes follicle oxygen intake, which means natural lash damage.

          To avoid this lash application mishap, place the lash extensions 0.5-1mm away from the eyelid skin.

        3. Ocular muscle damage

          When placing the extensions on your clients eyelashes, it is critical to use LIGHT pressure around your clients eyes. The tweezers should never press down onto the eye muscles and your hands should never put pressure on their foreheads. You should use eye pads to give your tweezers a cushion when applying the extensions. The ocular muscles of the eye are sensitive, misuse of your tools can cause Palpebral ptosis, “Droopy eye” permanently from excess pressure on the eye muscles.

        4. Lacrimal system- Clogging

          Internal and external lacrimals produce and channel tears to the surface of the eye where they flush out debris and waste. Lash adhesive wrongfully applied to these areas can cause lacrimal tamponade, or clogging of the lacrimals.
          To avoid this mishap, always use a minimal amount of adhesive when applying the lash extensions.

        5. Adhesive droplet in the eye

          Extremely dangerous and severe irritation will occur, their eye can be adhered shut. Immediately need medical attention. To avoid this, we NEVER dispense our adhesive on top of a clients face or eye, always away from their face.

        6. Eyelid micro tears

          When brushing the eyelash extensions during application, avoid brushing the spoolie against their eyelid skin. This can cause micro tears in their skin that can later get infected easily and will irritate the clients eyelid during the appointment.

          To avoid this application mishap, always be mindful when brushing the eyelash extensions.

        7. Lash clumping

          Adhering 2 or more natural lashes together with the use of lash adhesive. Commonly called “stickies”. When we fail to isolate properly, Our client will feel pulling and tugging on their lash line causing severe irritation. Our natural lashes grow at different speeds hence when 2 or more lashes are stuck together will cause irritation and premature lash loss by pulling.

          To avoid this eyelash extension mishap, always have impeccable application and isolation techniques.

          It’s important to practice these precautionary measures to avoid lash application mishaps during your client’s appointment. Always have your clients sign a consultation form agreeing to participate in the lash application.
