Why I Don’t Fill Lashes Done by Technicians
When clients reach out to me for lash services, they sometimes ask if I can fill lashes that another lash technician has done. Most lash artists suggest that it would be best to remove the existing lashes and apply a new set instead.
Why I don’t fill lashes done by other technicians:
The APPLICATION:
Many technicians struggle with poor isolation and application, which leads to poor Lash Retention. As a result, clients may not want to return to the original technician for future appointments.
Fixing improperly applied lashes is a time-consuming and difficult task. If you are not satisfied with another technician’s work, it’s not as simple as going to another technician to have them fill the existing lashes. Correcting what has already been done, if it can be corrected, is time-consuming and difficult.
The STYLING:
When it comes to styling, it’s important to understand that no two artists are the same and that their styles can vary tremendously.
If I try to follow another artist’s style, it limits my creativity and can make it impossible to achieve the best look for you.
Why I don’t fill lashes done by other Technicians
Firstly, it is impossible to fill eyelash extensions and at the same time correct styling and application errors.
Secondly, sometimes too much or not enough adhesive has been used, which can result in retention issues that cannot be corrected.
There may be application errors and unsafe extensions, such as incorrect isolation of the natural lash, where some extensions have been applied to multiple natural lashes instead of being placed on one individual natural lash.
The synthetic lashes used may be the wrong length, diameter, or weight, resulting in an unsafe set and an undesirable look.
Finally, the natural lashes may have been severely damaged due to improper technique and styling, leaving them thin, fragile, patchy, and traumatized.
