Are you struggling to find a lash artist that gives you exactly what you want? Every lash tech specializes in different styles, sets and timing, so it’s important to research the lash tech that you go to in order to get what you want. Here is a guide to help you find the perfect lash artist for you.
Licensed
First and foremost, when picking any lash artist, always make sure they are professionally licensed at their respective state board of cosmetology or equivalent institution. This is important to make sure your lash artist is legally performing lash extensions. These institutions ensure that your lash artist knows about and follows proper sanitization practices and safety guidelines.
Certified
Although it’s not required to be legally “certified” in many states in the United States to perform lash extensions, it is a good idea to check if they have gotten further formal education in lashes from a reputable lash educator. Unfortunately, since the lash industry is relatively new, many esthetician or cosmetology schools do not teach how to perform lash extensions. They just allow estheticians to perform lash extensions as long as they have their license.
Socials, socials, socials
Lash techs usually post their work on social media to advertise their target clientele. Every lash tech has different styles that they specialize in. Lash techs are artists and express creativity through their work. Make sure their style matches your style as well. Even at our own salons, every lash artist has a unique style that might match certain clients better.
Timing
Some clients enjoy the whole process of getting lash extensions, while some clients just want to be in and out with their brand new set of lashes. While you should typically expect to sit for at least 2 hours for a brand new full set, some lash artists can be faster than others.
Just as a small warning. Some lash artists compromise the health of their client’s lashes to go faster. Be wary of these lash artists as they can ruin your natural lashes. Try to look through their social media to see if they take the health of your lashes seriously.
