Curious about the lash craze? Let’s break down the two top players in the lash game: Lash Lifts and Lash Extensions! Both are serious beauty boosters, but which one is right for your clients? And how do they stack up in terms of maintenance and upkeep?
Whether you’re helping clients prep for a special occasion or keeping them glam for everyday, it’s crucial to understand the pros and cons of each option to provide expert guidance.
Lash Lift: Natural Curl That Lasts
Think of a lash lift as a magic curling session that doesn’t involve daily maintenance. Essentially, this service curls the natural lashes with a special lifting solution that lasts up to 6-8 weeks, depending on the lash growth cycle. Perfect for clients who want that “I woke up like this” vibe!
Pros:
- No need for lash extensions or adhesive.
- Lasts for several weeks with minimal aftercare.
- Clients can wear mascara on top if they want extra oomph.
Cons:
- Doesn’t add volume or length, just curl.
- Not suitable for very short or sparse lashes.
Lash Extensions: Volume and Drama Galore
When it comes to adding noticeable volume and length, lash extensions are a popular go-to. Applied individually to each lash, they offer customizable length, thickness, and even color options. Clients love the instant dramatic look – no mascara required!
Pros:
- Customizable for length, volume, and color.
- Instant, full-volume look.
- Lasts 2-4 weeks before a touch-up is needed.
Cons:
- Requires regular fills, which means more salon visits.
- More upkeep, as clients need to avoid oil-based products and heavy touching.
- More prone to fallout with lifestyle factors (hello, face sleepers!).
Maintenance Tips to Share With Clients
