Lash techs-getting your own lashes done?

[Jigglyb4ll]

I'm a lash tech and after having a set done myself before I was trained that were hideous and left me with bald lids I've been put off getting my own done.

So after a year of searching I finally found an AH Francis trained lash tech who had a lovely Facebook page, very professional, beautiful before and after pics and a real enthusiasm for her work.
I decided to trust in her and try as she was highly recommended.

I got there and she was the most lovely lady, really nice and sounded very knowledgable.

Anyway, I'm home and my lashes are awful
She said she used 0.20 and 0.25 in 13mm right across.
My lashes are short and weak so I did say I only wanted light lashes.

They are all clumpy and glued together, there are gaps including no lashes at all in one corner and there's 'gunk' in them

She's so lovely I don't want to say anything but I just wanted to know...do other lash techs find it hard getting others to do there lashes?

I'm wondering if its just me being a perfectionist or not being happy as I would have done them different? Am I being unrealistic?

I just want others take on if it is just me?

I'm actually going to remove them shortly as they're really uncomfortable, ferl too heavy and hurt

I know this is kind of a consumer question but its one from a lash technicians point of view so I'm hoping I posted in the right place x

I never got what I wanted myself and have settled for no extensions at all

Glad it's not just me. Shame tho
I need you, elliebee or blinkin gorgeous to live nearer! Lol

 

[ProperPrincess]

Im the same. I haven't even found anyone in my area with decent pictures :-(

 

[curvygirl]

I'm the same, can't find anyone whose work I'm happy with. I also dont have the time to travel to a lash tech, get lashed, then travel home, along with regular infill appts.

So I apply lashes on my own eyes using the Blink +Go (express) method

I don't have the time to get my lashes done! (I should make the time time really)
Instead I'm having LVL on Monday 😊

I think that lashes and nails that aren't done too well can become such a norm that that is what an untrained client would probably come to expect. Embarassingly perhaps, I know of people who have been left with big clumpy spiders who say that they love their newly done lashes. So yeah, maybe it can get to a point where clumpy spider leg lashes become aa norm because that's all people know to expect.

To be fair, the above is probably an extreme example and I don't do lashes myself yet but I've seen it done with nails too where nobody bats an eyelid at a smile line that is half way down the actual nail because when you see a lot of sets like that it us understandable that people come to expect that and then actually think that it looks good!

I think that sometimes we're just extra fussy!!! I know I am. I have a lovely lady who does my lashes, and she does a great job but she just doesn't do them how I would do them if I was a client.

I bite my lip and learnt to appreciate her style
