Help with hollywood lashes

[marlo]

:| hi i am new to this forum and am badly needing help with these lashes and i feellike giving up. i did the course approxiamtely three four weeks ago. i have completed about 7 sets since then, each time i feel i am improving. but the problem is they are not staying on my clients. some lashes are coming off after a few days and some after several days.
at first i thought i was using too much glue and nottaping up the bottomlashes secerely enough i ended up the top lashes been gluedto one or two of the bottomlashes that was a nightmare but i think i have resolved that problem. this is the steps i do - using a cotton bud i protect lower lashes with vaseline and put eye tape on, ensuring all lashes are under the tape. then i get the client to close her eyes and using some tape i lift the longer lashes and tape to the lid. then i apply protein remover. using the tweezers i separate the lashes and choose a donor lash. i pick up the extension by the end and run it through the glue several times ensuring lash is coated but not too thick at first i was going to one thrird the way down of the donor lashe and moving the extension up and down a couple of times then droping on to lash I i have also tried selecting the lsh and dropping the extension on to it then gently moving up and down ) i do not know which way is best. i remove and residue of glue and dry with the blower. sometimes i can see that the lash is not totally attached when it has dried so i know they wont last but others i think are perfect should las but don't. i am only charging £20 for a set taking 2 hours and i managed to getapprox 18 lashes on each eye yesterday. sorry for the long story but i amgetting disheartened. i feel bad atcharging people lashes that don't last. any advice welcome

You have to make sure the bond is created from the base of the extension all the way up to where the natural lash ends along the length of the extension,
with your extension you need to wipe it through the glue twice and you should have 3 small drops of glue on the extension now,
now wipe the extension up the length of the donor lash twice, on the third wipe place the extension against the donor lash,
use your blower to start the drying process,
if it looks like it has too much glue on the extension use a cocktail stick and wipe downwards on the extension,
(if you wipe upwards it will take the extension off)
this will remove any excess glue and help you to push the extension into place if it is not fully bonded,
hope that makes some sense to you and helps you out :hug:
