hi! Just so you know, you are going to learn so much. There is so much trial and error. I thought I knew a lot about eyelash extensions and when I go back 4 to 5 years ago, I can't believe how little I knew then. That being said...don't be discouraged. Everyone goes through things like this at the beginning.

What diameter are you using? I always want to give my clients the thicker one BUT now I see most people have very fine lashes. If you use extensions . (20/.25 or higher) there is a chance the extensions are too heavy for the clients natural lashes to take on. The natural lashes will break off with the extensions so not only will the natural lashes break, they will break way too early.
I agree with
@Melanie Hicks! The adhesive is huge. I've never used FX Fairy fix so I don't know the quality but I've used ULBON adhesive by BLINK. (I used faux mink lashes by BLINK too) AWESOME product
I wanted to give everyone a D curl b/c the lash flips up like you used mascara or an eyelash curler. I quickly realized how much longer it takes to get the lash to bind with the natural lash if the clients natural lash goes out straight. The extensions can turn a little to the right or left AND both the natural and extension don't completely lay down with eachother. (if that makes any sense)
The rule of thumb is no water or anything should be applied to the eyes. A lot of clients will say they didn't use mascara (most has oil in it), washes their face in the shower.
Are you using the same person to practice on? I have a lot of clients that sleep on their stomach. If you are a rough sleeper and the side of your face is smack down in the pillow, lashes tend to fall out faster.
LASTLY! hahahaha I just bought the nano mister. I CAN'T believe I didnt know about this lovely gem. My mentor said not using the mister is like not using a LED lamp after you get shellac or gel nails. It literally seals the deal! I HOPE this works the way the reviews and websites say it does. The word "WATERPROOF" is a word being thrown around alot with this nano mister. I have a client today at 2 and I'll be poppin my nano mister cherry!! lol WISH ME LUCK!!
