5 Reason Why Consultation is Key to Eyelash Extension Service
Had an eyelash extension service and were less than satisfied with the experience or the outcome? You’ve heard so much about lash extensions, you’ve seen them on the woman in the grocery store check out line and had to have them. While running errands you spot a place with a sign in the window that boldly states EYELASH EXTENSIONS. So you walk in and give it a try.
After a few days you regret your decision. Your eyelids feel heavy and your lash extensions are falling out. You wake up a little congested eyes a bit itchy. You look in the mirror and you don’t recognize the person staring back at you. I have been in the lash business for almost 10 years and this scenario is not uncommon. Eyelash extensions are not for everyone! And to help you determine if they are right for you first speak with a licensed beauty professional for a consultation.
Here are 5 reasons why a client consultation is key to a safe and successful eyelash extension service that will keep you coming back for more.
1. Health Screening
Helps to determine if there are any medications, physical or psychological conditions that might prevent you from having a safe out come. This step is widely overlooked and as a result you may have an unintended reaction that could have been prevented by answering a few important questions.
2. Past experience with Eyelash Extensions
This may seem like an obvious question right. But this simple yes or no question can help avoid repeats of the same bad outcome. If the answer is ‘No’ great you can move on to the next question. If the answer is ‘Yes’ well that opens the door to another conversation and some serious soul searching as to whether or not to proceed. However, people with sensitive eyes may prefer an eyelash lift and tint procedure instead. Which uses your natural lashes being permed and tinted.
3. Service Orientation
Your lash stylist should walk you through the steps of the procedure. You’ll be more comfortable knowing the details of the process while your eyes are closed. Some lash stylist may post these steps on their website or social media pages so be sure to check them out.
4. Life Style
Eyelash extensions are all about you! Your lash design should fit the way you live. Busy mom, working woman, physician, cancer survivor, high profile professional. How you live, work and play will determine the lash design that fits your life.

5. What’s Your Desired Look
Seems like a simple question right. Lash extension designs are not one size fits all and its outcome should be a reflection of how you see yourself. The question “what do you want your lashes to look like” can be difficult to answer let alone articulate. But having an in depth conversation coupled with photos or illustrations of various lash designs will certainly help guide you and your lash stylist to a beautiful lash design that’s perfect for you.
