    Study Notes

    Eyelash Extensions Overview

    • Eyelash extensions are popular beauty trends made from silk, mink, or synthetic fibers.
    • They are applied with semi-permanent adhesive to the base of natural lashes.
    • Extensions can be applied individually (classic) or in volume fans, enhancing the appearance of natural lashes.
    • Improper application or adhesives can cause discomfort, infections, and eyelash loss.

    History of Eyelash Extensions

    • Ancient Egyptians used kohl to darken and lengthen lashes.
    • D.W. Griffith, a film director, collaborated with wig maker Karl Nessler in 1916 to create the first eyelash extensions using human hair and spirit gum.

    Lash Extension Applications & Safety

    • Patch test new clients 24 hours before application to check for allergic reactions.
    • Apply 2–3 short extensions or up to 10 extensions per eye, focusing on the outer corner.
    • Use hypoallergenic, low-fume adhesives and educate clients about ingredients.
    • Ensure a well-ventilated workspace to minimize fume exposure.

    Allergic Reactions & Treatment

    • Common signs of allergic reaction include redness, itching, swelling, soreness, irritation, tearing, and blepharitis (due to poor aftercare).
    • If a client experiences a reaction, carefully remove extensions, apply a cool compress, advise seeking medical attention, and document the incident.

    Contraindications for Lash Extensions

    • Clients with frequent cysts/styes, alopecia, Bell’s palsy, skin trauma around the eyelid, trichotillomania, or blepharitis may not be suitable candidates.
    • Clients undergoing chemotherapy (wait 6+ months), experiencing dry eye syndrome, or having recent eye/eyelid surgery require a doctor's note.
    • Refusing service to clients with medical conditions or who treat you poorly is crucial for your well-being.

    Eyelash & Eye Anatomy

    • The eye is composed of the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and retina.
    • Lashes grow from follicles in the eyelid and go through a natural growth cycle.

    Lash Technician Licensing

    • State-issued licenses are crucial and involve education, practical experience, and adherence to safety standards.
    • Prioritize licensed professionals to ensure compliance and client safety.

    Getting Licensed as a Lash Technician

    • Research state licensing requirements and required educational programs.
    • Obtain a general cosmetology or esthetician license if required.
    • Enroll in a specialized lash training program.
    • Complete a practical exam if required by the state.
    • Stay updated on continuing education requirements.
    • Apply for licensure by submitting required documentation and fees.

    Building Your Lash Career: Business Tips

    • Invest in quality products and equipment for long-term success.
    • Share high-quality images, avoiding irritated eyes by capturing photos with the client's eyes closed.
    • Build your clientele by offering models discounted services, utilizing word-of-mouth referrals, using Facebook competitions and giveaways, advertising in Facebook groups, creating referral programs, and implementing client loyalty cards.

    Ergonomics and Workspace Optimization

    • Adjust your work chair for proper back support, knee angle, and comfort.
