In the beauty industry, health and safety should always be a top priority, especially when dealing with delicate areas like the eyes. As a lash artist, ensuring that you handle this sensitive area with care is crucial. However, with inadequate training or improper tools, mistakes can happen, and there are several warning signs that indicate you may need to reconsider your lash technician.
Poorly executed lash applications can damage your natural lashes and even harm your eyes. If you notice any of the following issues, it’s important to address them with your salon, and if your eyes begin to hurt or swell, contact your doctor immediately.
Irritation
It’s normal to feel a bit of weight on your natural lashes after the initial application. However, excessive irritation—such as redness, itchiness, or discomfort—can be a red flag. This is often caused by lashes that have been twisted, spun, or fallen out of place due to improper application.
Snagging or Clumping
Your lashes should be easy to brush through without snagging. If your lash brush catches or your extensions feel clumped together, it’s likely due to an overuse of adhesive. This not only affects the look but can also lead to breakage of your natural lashes.
Excessive Lash Fallout
While it’s normal for lash extensions to shed as your natural lashes go through their growth cycle, excessive fallout can indicate improper application. Typically, you should need infills every 2-3 weeks. If your lashes are shedding too quickly and you find yourself needing infills after just a week, it’s time to reconsider your lash technician.
When it comes to your lash health, never compromise. Knowing these warning signs can help you maintain your lashes safely and prevent long-term damage.
