Not every province or state requires you to have a certificate or license to practice lash extensions. We highly recommend that you take a course or training to make sure you are capable of applying eyelash extensions properly and safely.
At Beautiverse we make sure to have hands-on training with our students and teach them all the skills necessary to succeed in the lash industry.
Under eye patches are used for covering the natural bottom lashes, providing comfort for your clients eyes, a perfect base to draw your lash map and a safety guard from tweezers.
Medical grade tapes are used to protect the lower lashes from adhesive during application. Lash tape also helps press down puffy under eyes or high cheekbones, helps tame twitchy eyes and helps with isolation.
Made to hold the adhesive droplets during the lash application. They come in various forms such as rings, pods, jade stones and disposable adhesive stickers. For safety reasons, we do not recommend adhesive rings as they are more susceptible to cause irritation to your mucus membranes, and you can drop adhesive on your clients face or eyes.
Lash trays come in different curls, diameters and lengths and hold the lash extension fibers.
Lash spoolies are used to untangle the lash extensions during the service and given to every client after the service to take home and brush their lashes daily.

Pick up tweezer, used to pick up the lash extensions and place them onto the natural lashes. Used by your dominant hand.
Micro swabs are used to clean and prime the natural lashes before application.
Nozzle wipes are used to clean the adhesive nozzle tip of remaining adhesive after use to prevent clogging of your adhesive bottle. They can also be used to soak up tears from watery eyes during application.
Bladeless fan is used to blow away any fumes created by the adhesive curing and irritating your clients eyes. Can also be used to dry water after cleansing your clients lashes and to dry tears.
