What are the best tools for infilling false eyelashes

When it comes to creating a make-up look, we know that eyelash extensions are the perfect accessory. They frame your eyes to make your beautiful peepers pop. When you are pining for a bold, elongated look that mascara alone cannot provide, a false eyelash is your best friend. As a trained professional, you hold the power in your hands! You can wave your magic wand and bless your clients with gorgeous eyelashes. When you are treating a client with lovely natural lashes, you have a blank canvas to work from. This makes your job much simpler as you can cleanse and prepare the eyelid exactly how you need to. When it comes to infilling a set of eyelash extensions, things can be slightly trickier. Your client may well have uneven loss of fibres on each eye, meaning your canvas is not so blank. It can be hard to deduce exactly where lashes need to be infilled, which is why having the right tools really pays off.

At each treatment, you should impart some of your wisdom to your clients including the major dos and don’ts:

• Take care to not get your lashes wet within the first 24 hours—so no splashing your face with water, and keep the shower neck-down
• Stay away from chlorinated pools and heat treatments for the first 24 hours. This includes saunas, steam rooms and sunbeds, so don’t schedule the spa day just yet
• Try and sleep on your back for the first couple of nights to avoid squashing the lashes while they are still bonding. This is important to give the glue time to dry completely

All of these will put your client in good stead so they can enjoy their professionally treated eyelashes for longer. Perhaps the most important piece of advice that you need your clients to know is do not pick at your eyelash extensions! You can advise them on what the next steps for their extensions are: that they will fall out naturally as their real eyelashes go through the growing cycle, or they can return to you for infills to maintain fluffy and fabulous lashes for longer. Refills are a great way of extending the life of lash extensions. This is a process which can be carried out every two to three weeks to keep your client’s eyelashes looking full and voluminous.

What Tools Will I Need?

During the infill service you will enable provision for your client’s new lashes as the old ones shed. This will help will keep the volume and the lusciousness of the eyelashes intact. It is important to ensure you have the correct tools, so you feel comfortable carrying out the process. If you are relaxed, you will put your client at ease and treat them to an enjoyable experience.

When your client comes for an infill, they will likely have uneven loss of fibres. Because they still have false eyelashes on, you will need to adopt a different cleansing procedure than you would if you were doing an eyelash extension from the start. You will need to ensure you are gentle as to not disrupt the eyelashes that are still fixed to the eyelid. Be sure to check out the cleansers on our Noble Lashes website to find the perfect one for the job.

Secondly, you will need to use eye pads. You can use these alone or with tape. You will find a range of patches on our website—from simple non-woven to patches containing nourishing aloe vera. We also supply many types of tape, including medical, surgical, and hypoallergenic for all your clients’ needs.

As a beauty professional, you want your clients to look amazing. So if when they come for an infill to replace missing lashes you notice that some of the extensions are looking a bit messy, you can simply remove these and pop in some beautiful fresh lashes. To make this process simple, give the lashes a thorough brush through with a spoolie. You will now be able to better see any gaps and any lashes that have stuck together. Our Noble Lashes spoolie is perfect for both brows and lashes so is a must-have for your toolkit.

When you come across lashes that are looking a little less than fresh, use a pair of tweezers to remove. We are delighted to stock many tweezers of different sizes and styles, including straight, curved and even ones with built-in combs. If you need a single pair to top up your toolkit you can buy separately or buy one of our sets for more choice and a handy carry case! When removing the eyelash, simply grab the tip with the tweezers and peel away from the natural lash.

To really pamper your client and keep them and their friends coming back for more, why not treat them to a complimentary cleanse? Our Strawberry Lash Cleanser comes in a handy spray so you can spritz onto one of our micro brush swabs and work through your client’s eyelashes. After cleansing, take a fresh swab and remove any cleanser residue with sterilised water or contact lens solution.

After the infill treatment, your client now has full and fluttery lashes that look like a full set for the fraction of the time! To provide the best treatment for each client, make sure you stock up on Noble Lashes best-selling tools to allow you to work your magic!
