A few questions for fellow lashers

[lots of lashes]

hi all, i am newly qualified in lashes and have a few questions i was hoping you could help me with please

1. For each new glue i try do i have to buy the same brand de bonder?
Or would the 2 removers that I have do the job just the same?

2. Up until now i have only been applying one shape of lashes per set.
Could someone explain how to use 2 different shapes in the one set?
Do you mix the two in between or do you use one shape then the other
for example to the outer eye line?

3. On my training i don't think we where told to use a protein remover just
to cleanse the lashes. I have now found that since using a protein
remover when it comes to in-fills clients seem to have more lashes left.
At present i have been using the pads from nouveau lash but would like
to know which ones you would recommend?

Many thanks for all help

Who did you train with??

what help is a response like this ?
if you would care to read my profile page before you answer you would see who i trained with.

That wasn't help indeed. But you are asking really such basic questions... Your training wasn't good enough. Simple.
I would suggest to go back and have your questions answered by the trainer or get your money back.

I'm not saying this to have a go but as a genuine question.
Do other training companies tell you about using other companies products I don't think so? Or allow you to mixing different lash curls to create different shapes when you are learning the basics?
I was trained using J curls and was informed about all the different curls and lengths you can use to create different looks. But i didn't get to mix different curls or to create different shapes when it came to working on my model hence the questions above.
So why not say something either constructive or even helpful rather than comment on my training. x

ps yes i could go back and ask my trainer so could everyone else on this site

Hi Jen
I do use the de-bonder that comes with the glue. Like you when I first started lashing I tried a lot of different glues and it is an expensive experiment but you will eventually stumble across one that just suits you and stick to it.
I use mainly J B & C curls now. The B curls are lovely with just a bit more of a curl than the J. Depending on the eye shape you can mix B & C curls or B and J curls both give great results.
I dont know about you but my training day went past so quickly that it was impossible to remember everything but like most of the lashers on here say its just practice, practice, practice. This forum is a great place for advice and encouragment, I have learned loads from others experience.
Oh and I use blink me or wink me lint free eye lash pads.
Hope this helps :hug:

Thank you leemac for your helpful post,
that's the sort of information i was hoping for. Now i understand what lashes to mix together. I only have J's and C curls and thought they would look a bit odd if i mixed them together. Thats why i thought maybe i was suppose to use the J's on 3/4 of the eye and then C's to the outer corners to give the lashes more ofa flick at the sides.
Will have to get myself some B curls and have a play.

Thanks again xx

I also was not told to use protein remover when i trained and found the same as lots of lashes, that things have improved with more lashes staying on now that i do.

Im sure that everyone cannot remember everyting they were taught on their training days and would hope they remember that they were in the same boat so to speak when they first qualified, this type of system will not click in a few hours just like anails or tanning, and students do not wish to bother their trainers every five minutes , that is why we ask on here :hug:

The reason why i was not told about primmer or protein removers is because it is not a product that Glam Lash use or have available to buy, so there would be no reason to mention it in my training.
This is why this site is so good as you learn so much from others.

A mix of b and C curls make a really pretty set, for a pretty, natural look. In a mixed set I tend to use the B's 7/8 mm nose end, then a mix of B and C's through the remainder, then finish on a few B's.
I do think the training differs from company to company. I did actualy cover eye shapes in my training, but it was in 2006 so could all be differant now, lol. I dont think we ever stop learning with lashes though. The best way to learn is doing the lashes obviously. A good tip I learnt, owas taking before and after pics with every client. Its great for looking at and analizing after to see what you like/dislike about the set you have done, and seeing your progression from set to set.:hug:

thank you sassylashes i will try that next week and see how they look
better go order some B lashes now and get practising :hug:

From my experience you can use any debonder, doesn't have to be the same brand, it works. So if you switch yhour glue you can save some money on glue remover. :hug:

hi all, i am newly qualified in lashes and have a few questions i was hoping you could help me with please

1. For each new glue i try do i have to buy the same brand de bonder?
Or would the 2 removers that I have do the job just the same?

It is not compulsory to use the same brand but it does work quicker, the only downside to using a different brand is it may take a little longer to dissolve the adhesive

2. Up until now i have only been applying one shape of lashes per set.
Could someone explain how to use 2 different shapes in the one set?
Do you mix the two in between or do you use one shape then the other
for example to the outer eye line?

You mix the 2 different curls throughout the whole set, so it creates a natural and fluffy appearance, you can even mix in 3 different curls if you like, D, C & B for example,
the only thing you do need to remember is to always try to use short J curls at the very inner corner (near the nose) as the curlier ones tickle and irritate the client

3. On my training i don't think we where told to use a protein remover just
to cleanse the lashes. I have now found that since using a protein
remover when it comes to in-fills clients seem to have more lashes left.
At present i have been using the pads from nouveau lash but would like

Protein remover/primer is essential to use before applying lashes as this will remove any traces of make up left behind after cleansing and will remove all traces of natural oils that your lashes hold, making sure that the lashes are in the best oil free condition ready for the lashes to be applied and as you have found out for your self the lashes will last so much longer too, it is also more hygienic to prime the lashes before applying the lashes.
Many thanks for all help

Hope that helps Jen, feel free to PM me if you need any further advise.

I would agree with the comments on the glue remover and use of the protein. As you develop your skills you will learn you to use differnet curls, lenghts and thicknesses. Have a look at our website www.lashoutlashesuk.com you will see our different styles and descrpitions

Good luck lashing

 

[louiseprunty]

Hi, we are doing training on 11th, 16th & 26th if you want to pop in the afternoon to try out different lash curls / thicknesses than what you have been using, we will have a full range there.

We are also about to start stocking primer for people who choose to use it.

However just read some responses above which are great, if you want any advise though call / email Lou x
