Choosing an eyelash technician that is right for you can be confusing as there are many factors to take into consideration. Make sure to do your research before committing to your eyelash extensions. Make sure you ask questions and feel comfortable with your decision.
First factor to take into consideration is if the technician is certified. Technicians spend their money and their time to be properly trained to ensure all of their clients are going to be happy, healthy, and safe before, during, and after the application. Professionals use professional products and know how to properly apply lashes to make sure there is no damage done to both your eyes and your eyelashes. Good technicians will have a variety of different lashes to choose from (curly to not as curly, long to not as long.) Being properly trained also ensures that the technician knows the procedures to sterilize their tools and make sure they practice proper hygiene. It is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your eyes.
Another factor to consider is price. A good technician knows the work involved in creating the perfect look for their client and will not sell themselves short. Cheaper is definitely not always better. Just like with a tattoo artist or hairstylist, you more often than not get what you pay for. If lashes are done improperly you could end up with uneven lashes, or worse, lashes that are stuck together and clumpy. If lashes are done improperly they can and will damage your natural lashes.
A good technician will be proud of their work and want to show it off. They will have before and after pictures to show potential clients what they can do. Nowadays, social media is more popular than ever and most technicians will have their work online for people to see. Word of mouth is another huge factor. If you see a friend with beautiful, well-done lashes, ask her who she went to and how her experience there was. If you hear horror stories of people’s experiences from other technicians you will be sure to avoid them at all costs.
Eyelash technicians should provide their clients with information on how to properly care for their eyelashes after the application. Proper after care is important for the health of the natural lash. If the lashes are properly cared for after the application they will not only last longer, but keep your natural lashes healthy and on track with their natural shedding cycle.
In the end, the Eyelash Technician you choose is up to you, so do your research. Are they certified? Is the facility clean? Are the products used professional products and FDA approved? Is the price too good to be true? Did you look at the technician’s before and after pictures? Did you read reviews or ask opinions of others experiences with the technician? Does the technician have a variety of eyelashes to choose from? Do they provide client with aftercare instructions? Best of luck in your search for beautifully done lashes.
