Why your lash appointments take so long?

February 19, 2023


Have you thought about getting beautiful lash extensions, but wondering why lash artists take so long to finish your service? On average, a full set of lashes take about 2 hours for a full set! Let’s discover why lash extensions take so long and why it’s worth the wait.

Consultation Process Should Take Time

A reputable lash artist will always take their time to analyze your eye anatomy, natural lashes, and what style you’re asking for. Every eye shape is different so it’s important for the lash artist to take a detailed look to match what you’re looking for with how your eye is shaped.

Isolation is Important

Trust us, you do not want to damage your natural lashes. We’ve seen and denied many services because they come in with bald or close to bald natural lashes because their previous lash technician damaged their natural lashes from going too fast.

The lash artist needs to separate one natural lash from the rest of your lashes. This is done to prevent “stickies” which are clumps of lashes caused from the glue coming together. Rushing this part will definitely cause you to damage your natural lashes and cause your lashes to fall out in clumps.

Fan-making (only for volume lashes)

Depending on what kind of lash service you’re receiving, the lash artist then has to hand-make a fan of volume lashes. There are “pre-made” lash fans, but it is hard to customize the style for each individual client.

Application

Then the lash artist dips the extension into the glue and applies the lash extension to the natural lash.

Repeat

This process is repeated 100-150 times per eye, depending on the amount of natural lashes that you have.

This is why lash extensions take such a long time to service, but the end result is worth it. The detail that the lash artist can put into your lashes cannot be produced by any strip lash, mascara or lash lift. Not to mention, lash extensions can also save you time and create stress-free mornings for you! So come, sit back and relax knowing that your lash artist is hand-creating your beautiful lash set.

If your lash artist is finishing your full set in under an hour, there is a high possibility that they are creating stickies and clumps. Like we mentioned earlier, this is bad for your natural lashes and can end up making your lashes permanently bald.
