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
