What type of tweezers are best for eyelash extensions - 29-10-09, 11:40 PM

Currently I am using my two sets of straight tweezers that I got with my marvel lash kit, but am going to upgrade soon. I find it takes me ages to isolate lashes and wondered if it would be better if I upgraded the tweezers as well. I have seen different types though and wondered if they were better. I'm doing two or three sets a week still on case studies so am still very new. But when I move in January want to start doing it properly as a business.

I really like my straight tweezers for isolating, and bent/curved tweezer for picking up lashes. I find the curved a lot easier to pick up with hth x

I think everyone is different....some prefer straight tweezers some prefer the angled ones depending on the way you hold your hands during the application. I believe everyone has got their own preference as long as you make sure they are professional tweezers so you dont damage the lash extensions and as long as you feel confident and comfortable with them it should be ok?

I've seen the X tweezers. They look pretty cool.

I personally use 2 pairs of straight tweezers.

i have the curved ones for picking up the lashes and the straight ones for isolating altough i prefer the straight ones, they are the ones i got when i trained and i love them although think i may need some new ones now. haha any excuse to spend on lashes.

i had to edit as i had it the wrong way round and i def need a new set of tweezers i realised today xx
