Eyelash extensions can enhance your natural beauty and simplify your daily beauty routine, but choosing the right lash technician is vital for achieving the best results. Lashology has the best lash techs in the business, that’s just a fact! We carefully chose specialists that will provide the best quality and attention that you need. They are all skilled and certified technicians that can give you stunning, long-lasting lashes, unlike an inexperienced tech’s work that might lead to discomfort, poor results, or even damage to your natural lashes.
But we understand that just like the lash options we offer, everyone has their own preferences. So which of our expert technicians is the right one for you? To ensure you find the right lash expert, it’s important to do some research and ask the right questions before booking an appointment. Here’s a few suggestions of some questions you can ask to help put yourself at ease.
What Products and Materials Do You Use?
Rest assured all our material is the best the industry has to offer, and we stay current with any changes. Quality products are essential for achieving natural-looking, long-lasting results without irritation. But for your own peace of mind, feel free to ask your lash technician about the types of adhesives, lashes, and tools they use during application. Also, inquire about the range of lash styles (synthetic, silk, mink, etc.) and options for different lengths and curl types.
Why it matters: Using high-quality, safe products reduces the risk of irritation, allergic reactions, and premature lash shedding. Understanding what materials the technician works with also allows you to customize your lash extensions to suit your preferences.
How Long Have You Been Applying Lash Extensions?
Experience is key when it comes to lash extensions. Ask your Lashology technician how long they’ve been working in the industry and how many clients they typically see each week. This can give you an idea of their skill level and ability to handle different lash types, eye shapes, and unique needs.
Why it matters: An experienced lash technician will have honed their techniques, ensuring precision in lash application. They’ll also be better equipped to troubleshoot any issues and provide advice on aftercare for optimal results.
Can I See a Portfolio of Your Work?
A picture speaks a thousand words. Let their profile do the talking. Request to see photos of their work portfolio. This will give you a sense of their style and whether they can deliver the look you want, whether it’s natural, dramatic, or somewhere in between.
Why it matters: Reviewing their work ensures you like their style and that they can create the look you desire. It also helps you gauge consistency and quality across different clients.
What is Your Sanitation Protocol?
Lash application involves close contact with your eyes, so proper sanitation practices are critical. Lashology technicians take great care of their work space and clean thoroughly after each appointment. But please ask the technician about their hygiene standards, such as whether they use disposable tools, how they clean reusable tools, and how they sanitize their workspace.
Why it matters: A clean, sanitized environment reduces the risk of infections and complications. You’ll want a technician who prioritizes hygiene and follows strict cleanliness protocols.
How Long Does the Application Take, and What is the Maintenance Like?
Each technician may have a different pace when applying lash extensions, so ask how long the initial application takes. Additionally, ask about the maintenance required, including how often you’ll need fills, the aftercare process, and whether they provide guidelines for keeping your lashes in top condition.
Why it matters: Knowing how long you’ll be in the chair helps with planning, and understanding maintenance requirements ensures you’re prepared to properly care for your lashes between appointments.
Choosing the right lash technician is key to getting the beautiful, long-lasting results you want. All of our techs at Lashology can provide you with satisfying results. But for your own peace of mind feel free to ask any or all of these questions—about experience, product quality, and hygiene standards—so you can feel confident that you’re entrusting your lashes to a professional who will prioritize your safety and deliver the look you’re after. Your perfect lash extensions are just one appointment away!
