Well in the real world many therapists are trained with one brand as that's the initial one they have chosen after doing research..they are trained and then set about gaining experience through usage.

The next natural phase is to start experimenting with different products from different brands and then picking the best from each brand or in some cases completly switching...its simply quiet normal.

This applies to all treatments therapists offer from waxing,spray tanning,eyelash extensions,nails ,hair and so on.

It is possibly this natural transient nature that keeps us manufacturers on our toes ever developing new additions to our range so as to keep customers interested in us as well as of course allowing you the therapist to offer these new products to your customers in turn.

Oh and just for the record therapy4u... Kelshah doesnt work for wow and neither does she derive any commercial benifit from commenting on the product brand she as a therapist has descided to use....just like all the other peeps who use all the different brands out there do.

HTH

Every therapist is different and we all learn at different speeds,
if you are not used to using both hands to do something with then it will take you a little longer than it would take someone who is used to using both hands to perform a task,
this is something that you can put into practise simply in every day life (not writing or cooking though)
when ever you are doing something that you would normally use your dominant hand to do try to do it with your non dominant hand too,
this will get your brain used to your hand doing something it is not used to and it will help you lots,
to be ambidextrous you need to retrain your brain for your body to join in,
the advise of practising with strip lashes on a dummy head (or dolls head) is great if your finding it hard to find real models to practise,
try to practise every day, even if it is only for half an hour on a head, the more you practise the quicker you will pick it up,
i have to go now my client has come in but i hope this helps

first of all how rude,
to burst into a thread and totally change the subject. Granted threads can go a little off topic now and again but to barge in like that and have a pop at some one is just plain rude. Where are your manners? And secondly why not send a private message if it bugs you that much?
And as for things getting heated it seems the heat was coming from your end chick I mean how many times does kelshah have to repeat herself to you and you still dont seem to understand were she is coming from.

kelshah you post away chick I live in the real world and have found your answers in the past most helpful xx

Hey there Lots of Lashes, so who did you train in lash extensions with??

Lots of Lashes - Lots of practice :-)

Keep practicing and make sure its regular, sometimes if you don't do them for a while it takes a long time to get into a good rhythm. Also, I found that people who were interested in lashes were people don't necessarily have great natural lashes, ie short and straight, very fine or lashes that don't sit straight. Make sure you practice on these types of natural lashes.

At first doing a 2hour full set can be very tiring because your not relaxed, its hard to stay focused after an hour.

Try doing two one hour treatments. I found this helped me learn quicker. It also gave me the opportunity to review my work and correct my technique.

From my experience, don't practice with cheap glue because you end up clumping the lashes. A good glue is thin and will set fast.

I would recommend the new Nouveau or the Flirties glue.

Thanks for that. I've trained with Nouveau so that's good you recommend their glue. Just done the course this week, so once the kit arrives it will be practice, practice, practice.

Loubylou - I'm trying to do everything with my left hand. OMG you should see me. Totally hopeless!!! Think the training the brain is gonna be harder than I thought! Tried to write the alphabet and my husband thought it was my daughter that had done it. She's only eighteen months.

Thanks for this message. I'll let you know.
