Scrub a dub dub, no lashies in the tub! 🧼
I know that this topic may seem so played out to you as clients but it really is true - your lash artist can be the best in the WORLD & still really struggle through an appointment when the canvas shows up with oily lashes. As someone who prides myself on offering 2-3 week retention, I am here to tell you that I have to use 2x the amount of adhesive on a client who shows up with dirty lashes just to get a good attachment.
When there is oil on your natural lash, the adhesive is shock cured and literally repelled away from the natural lash - this causes space between the oily natural lash & the extension, giving the opportunity for the extension to come flying off at even the slightest touch. If you haven’t purchased a good cleanser from your lash artist yet, now is the time to do it. Lash extensions are an investment and you doing your part will make sure that you get the absolute best outcome every time.
Lash artists - if you struggle with clients who don’t cleanse, are frustrated AF & want my secrets to achieving 2-3 week retention even under the worst circumstances, DM me the word RETENTION to see how I can help you! ⛓

Hear me out:
1. Unless a client pulls out their eyelash extensions or is on a medication that causes hair loss, retention is always the lash artist’s fault
2. Your client's lack of knowledge of the lash extension service says more about you & your lack of education or research to resolve issues in your business
3. Just because someone has gone viral from lip syncing to funny reels doesn't mean that they are experts in their field. When you look at their page, are your learning anything? Or are you just spending money to meet someone because they are popular?
4. No great lash artist became great simply by working on clients. If you are too scared to invest in your education or cancel nights out to sit in your studio & practice - you will never be as great as the artists that you look up to.
5. Some adhesives may perform better in specific environments, but people who know how to read their adhesive by sight and consistency are able to use it no matter what their lashing conditions are.
6. With practice, you can grow into your prices just as quickly as you can grow out of them! Better to start high than work your ass off just to raise you prices $5 once a year and take 10 years to get to your desired rate.�What say you?

If you've been following me for awhile, you know that I'm a one man show. I will be out of town with family from October 11-October 22, so orders will not be able to be shipped out at this time. Thank you so much for your patience & continued support!

We hear it all the time - “I won’t get extensions because they ruined my lashes last time.” Lash extensions didn’t ruin your lashes, the lash artist you went to ruined your lashes.
Here are a few ways to know whether your lash artist has your natural lash health in mind:
1. Your extensions should never hurt
2. If you just got a fill or a full set, you should not still have extensions that are overgrown at the base
3. Your lashes should never be falling out in clumps that are adhered together (this can also happen if you wear heavy makeup & don’t cleanse properly)
4. You shouldn’t consistently have patches of lashes that do not have lashes healthy enough for extensions (however, this can also happen if you pick out your extensions)
Lash artists, share this on your page to help debunk the myth that lash extensions are harmful to your client’s lash health - let’s bring some non-believers to the bright side ☀️

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Me 🙋🏻♀️
When I started scouting out lash trays in 2019 it was because I was having a hard time finding a brand that was consistent: whether that meant always in stock or quality of product. I had tried so many new brands that just didn’t work with my unique technique (we all have our own style) & I knew exactly what I needed in order to make sure that I could not easily perform my job but also have a product that allowed me to work as fast as I could in order to send my clients out the door to my complete satisfaction.
I took all of the things that made it hard for me and turned that into something that is easy for you: a brand of lashes that is user friendly & able to work with all methods of creating volume fans, as well as strips that stay stuck to the tile - no matter how many times you move them around - so that you’re never wasting your hard earned money.
Can I still use other products? Yes. Do I want to? No. I stand behind these lashes 100% and they are all that I have used since my first order in October of 2020. If you want to see what I mean, head to the shop and use the code NEWBIE for 20% off of your first order. Don’t forget to check out the $12 sale trays either!

Hey lash artist, does this sound like you?
❌ You're scared of your adhesive. You use way too little because you have no clue how to control it & are terrified of “damaging” your client’s lashes.
❌ You don't know how to "read the room" so if anything is slightly off, your adhesive fails.
❌ No trainer has been able to show you how to properly attach extensions to the natural lash, so you just hope that what you are doing will last 2-3 weeks.
❌ As a volume artist, you're not wrapping your fans, so they will easily pop off with any interference.
Here is the hard truth: it’s you, not the glue. Stop asking other lash artists for their recommendations - learn how to work with and manipulate your adhesive to work in your current location; even if it isn’t the ideal environment.
The only acceptable reasons for poor lash retention:
👉🏼 the client is on a medication or has a health condition that causes hair loss (check out my pinned posts for potential culprits)
👉🏼 the client is a picker
Retention is the #1 reason most lash artists lose their clients & can’t stay fully booked. I can teach you how to easily achieve 2-3 week fills that still look like full sets. The best part? you will be able to implement these tricks as soon as tomorrow!

🤳🏼RING RING: Your new favorite lash brand is calling!
I believe so strongly in these lashes that I want you to try them too - use code NEWBIE to get 20% off of your first lash order 💸
Freebird lashes were specifically tested to work with all volume techniques - giving you the reassurance that they’re not just going to be another new brand of lashes that sits in your drawer collecting dust. The fibers are soft enough to shimmy or pinch but sturdy enough to work with fanning on the strip or using a sticky dot; to make the deal even sweeter, you can grab small chunks of the .03s for a classic lash alternative in order to save yourself from spending tons of money on different products! Let's just say versatility is what we believe in. 💅🏼
Freebird lash extensions come from the mind of a lash artist who struggled for years with creating volume fans, until one day she realized that it was the product working against her - so she set out to bring out a product that would make it easier for even the newest of volume artists to perfect their skill set. With consistent quality, lash strips that stick tight to your tile & a soft but sturdy fiber that volume dreams are made of - this is a tray of lashes that will make volume fanning fun again, not a chore.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT:
It just warms my little heart when other lash artists love lashes as much as I do 🥹
When I began scouting lash trays in 2019, I knew exactly what I wanted:
1) Strips that stayed stuck to the tile when I went to pull fans
2) Lashes that were compatible with all methods of volume fanning, because I had spent money on so many trays that I couldn't use with mine
I didn't stop until I was able to achieve both of those points in order to give lash artists a seamless experience in service, as well as sending their clients out the door with impeccable results.

I started lashing in 2015 and it did not come easy to me! It wasn't until 2019 until I truly started to feel comfortable with lashing & that was after I took four. trainings in one year 🥹. Trainings are awesome ways to pick up new tricks but implementing the tips when you leave is the hard part - it's so easy to get overwhelmed and fall back into old habits.
Here is what I did to get me where I am now:
🪤 If you don’t have a full clientele, work a full 8 hour day. That means, if you only have 3 hours of clients, spend the other 5 hours at work practicing. This doesn’t have to be on models, in fact, I suggest that you don’t practice on models until you feel more confident - why? Because you don’t have to worry about feeling rushed if your model is getting antsy.
🪤 If you do have a full clientele, practice outside of your working hours and SAVE those fans to use on your current clients if you begin to run out of time when implementing your new skill.
RETENTION will save your life. I tell every single student, after isolation, retention is more important than any other skill that you will learn. Retention buys you the time to practice and to gain speed because you don’t have to worry about rushing to beat the clock.
Do you struggle with retention? 90% of lash artists do, it’s not just you. It’s something that is touched on but never expounded on in all of your courses which is why I created a simple lash retention course that will have your clients coming back with 2-3 week retention easily, just by teaching you how to properly apply the lash adhesive & lash products that you already have. Right now, Lashing with Intention is $100 OFF (only $149) - head to the link in my bio to learn more about how this course is the most important education you need to make the big bucks in your lash career 💸

"Charge your worth and add tax."
There is a market for everyone - you can charge bottom of the barrel prices and work 10 hours a day to make ends meet or you can pull the lowborn, price yourself higher and work less to allow yourself more freedom. While it will always take longer to build a clientele at a higher price point, the rule I always reminded myself of was that I can grow into a higher price point just as quickly as I can grow out of a lower price point.
Now which one of those choices do you think you'd be left feeling resentful of? 😶🌫️
For tips & tricks on how I built a full clientele on $400 full sets & $150 fills, go ahead and give me a follow - I promise that it's a lot simpler than you think it is.
