I can now do them in about an hour - an hour 15mins. But I tell clients an hour and a half at the most.
I had a client in this morning for semi permanent eyelashes and I had finished the first eye and was starting on the second. Client then asked me the time so I checked and told her. She said she was going to be late for her hair appointment and asked how much longer I will be. I said it had taken 30mins to do 1 eye so roughly the same for the other. She said she cant be here for another 30mins as she needs to leave in the next 5mins. I said I cant do a full eye in 5mins its just not possible. She asked why it takes me so long to do them as she previously went elsewhere and it took them 30mins to do a full set! I told her the express or blink and go's are roughly that and she insists it was semi permanent she got as she always went back for infills every 3-4 weeks. Told her it was highly unlikely it was that quick.
So I asked her what she wanted me to do bearing in mind I cant do a full eye in 5mins, so it was either wait and get it done properly or take the other eye off but she will still have to pay something. She was then shocked that if I took one eye off she will have to still pay. I said she was notified in the email (she emailed me to book in) that she will be here no longer than an hour and 30mins so she should of left sufficient time between the 2 appointments. And also if she said at start of the consultation she only had 30mins I would of just given her express lashes instead.
So after all this faffing about that took up the 5mins! Then she asked time again and said she must leave the salon in 2mins or she will be late. So I had to take first eye off.
Is it possible to do a full set of semi lashes in 30mins?! I have my phone next to me when I do lashes so I can time how long it takes and my average is an hour and 5mins. I cant possibly see where I can reduce it that much to get it down to 30mins. Plus that will also be a really rush job and wont look that great! I can do express in 20mins purly because I dont need to isolate so its alot quicker!
