I just use both pairs of tweezers to scrape the glue off each other. I kind of "squeeze" one pair of tips (or just one tip if I need to scrape the inside of the tip) between the other pair of tips. Comes right off and it's free! I used to use a file, but it eventually changed the tip of my...

I do bottom lash extensions, but I do them with the eyes closed. But I'm in the US and we don't have to take extra training for bottoms. I tape up the upper lashes so they are out of the way and the lowers are free and clear. Sensitive glues don't last as long as the good, fast drying...

I don't use j's at all anymore...too straight for my liking. I love the B's and usually mix in some c's.

I like to use the Nexcare Absolute Waterproof tape. It is beige and has a little padding to it. I cut them into approximately 2" strips and then cut a little crescent shape on one side. I swipe a little jojoba oil under the eye (not too close to the lashes) and lay the tape down. if I happen...

If I have someone with some crossed or straight lashes I will "candycane" the lash. Meaning, I place the base of the extension to the side of the natural lash and then wrap it underneath the lash so the tip of the natural lash is attached to the other side of the extension--I hope that makes...

Priory, what diameter C curls do you use? They look so good! Have you ever used 7mm, or just 6? The adhesive I use is very fast drying, but has some fumes, so I think I would have to try a different kind. Although, I wonder if running a cross breeze would help?

I have been using Flash Lash and Mega Pro (purple cap) and haven't had a problem with clients complaining of fumes. But I have heard of some lashers that use a small fan (one that can clamp on their light I think) for a little cross breeze. Not so high that it dries out the glue, but just...

I thought it was great! I'm sure it will be just the nudge some may need to get going.

You can also use Pearlex pigments from the craft store to dip your lashes in. I have a couple pictures of some in my album.

Cluster lashes are not meant to last more than a few days to a week because they will damage your natural lashes. They are too heavy to be applied to a single natural lash (as semi permanent, single lash extensions are), and if they are glued to several lashes for an extended period of time...

Clients with oily skin also tend to lose lashes faster. They need to keep them really clean, and if possible, blot around the eyes during the day. And definitely make sure they are squeaky clean before you start. I use two eyeshadow applicators to clean lashes with witch hazel and then apply...

I totally agree with Loubylou. I consider nothing less than 60 lashes per eye a full set (unless, of course, they don't have that many natural lashes). It takes me close to 2 hours to do this...sometimes less, and on some ladies with more difficult lashes, a little longer. I personally feel...

I have a portable massage table that I use, but some of my clients have very comfortable sofas and it has worked out fine for me, and I love not having to drag the thing in. I just have them come back a bit so their head is slightly tilted back so I can see the lash line. I use this light...

I personally don't care for the y lashes. They don't seem to stay on as well and the ones that do tend to flop--but, I think it's good to have them in case you get a client with a big gap in their natural lashes that you may need to cover. Or, you could just piggyback two lashes to help bridge...

I use Nexcare Absolute waterproof foam tape. I precut the roll into 1 1/2" strips and cut a crescent on one side. I use a little jojoba oil below the lashline (not too close-you don't want it near the lashes). If a few baby lashes peek out, I will cover them with the white micropore tape. I...

Practice, practice, practice! Get a cheap pair of strip lashes and stick it to a mannequin head, soda bottle or even a piece of paper and practice on that. When you are comfortable with your isolation, switch to a faster glue...It is so much easier and you will have less chance for stickies...

I have spray tanned a client after lashing them and sprayed their face with no problems. But I always cure the lashes with isopropyl alcohol after every set or fill. It has worked beautifully for me!

I use a heated eyelash curler and slowly "comb" lashes up from underneath. You may have to do a couple swipes. Make sure you paint the glue all the way to the tip of the natural lash. After I place the lash I take my tweezer (a little ways up from the tip) and slowly swipe the lash underneath...

Here is the UK distributor info for Flash Lash glue from Lashout Lashes. Contact: Nicola Email: [email protected] It's the best adhesive I've tried so far, although I'm sure we have different adhesives here in the states than you have in the UK. I haven't tried any from the UK yet.

Hi Gemmaredfern, I get it from LashOut Lashes in Australia. I believe she said she has a UK distributor...i'll get the info and get back to you.
