Does it feel hard to get your clients to try color lashes?
You’re excited to create something different, but most clients still want to play it safe.
They love seeing rainbow sets and color blocking… just not necessarily on themselves.
That’s where the Iris Edit comes in. 👁️
It’s a color lash system designed around your client’s natural iris color. Instead of choosing a color at random, you can select shades that complement their eyes and make their natural eye color stand out.
So color feels less intimidating for the client and easier for you to introduce.
It’s a simple way to help clients ease into color without feeling like they’re going too far from their usual look.
And we’re bringing the Iris Edit to LashCon. 💜
Come see the system, explore the colors, and learn how you can start introducing wearable color to your clients.

A classic cat eye never really goes out of style. 🤎

Our rebrand didn't start with a new logo.
It started with a conversation.
The longer we stayed in this industry, the more we noticed how often burnout was treated like it was just part of being a lash artist.
We didn't want to keep ignoring it.
Our vision for ThousandLashes has grown.
Lash education and professional products will always be a big part of what we do. But we're also leaning more into wellness and the real life of the artist behind the business.
Our new design reflects that shift too.
We are in San Diego, and the softer, more relaxed feel of our new branding reflects where we are right now.
Same ThousandLashes.
Just a little more honest about what we see happening in our industry.
We'd love to know what you think of the new direction. 💜
What would you like to see more of from ThousandLashes?
What you see is the lash set.
What your client sees is the finished look on their eyes.
That’s why the mapping matters.
Spikes can change the whole look of a set, especially when you’re working with an anime or wispy style. Having a clear map makes it easier to create the look you planned instead of guessing as you go.

Colored lashes don’t have to feel intimidating.
At LashCon 2026 thelashconference, Galina + Janna Soykharev are teaching "The Iris Edit: Turning Colored Lashes Into an Easy Yes."
We’ll talk about choosing colors based on eye color, adjusting the intensity of a look, and making color easier to introduce during client consultations.
If you’ve been curious about adding colored lashes to your menu but weren’t sure where to start, this class is for you.

We’re two sisters, and after years of creating products for lash artists, we’ve learned that the little things really do matter.
A tweezer that doesn’t grip properly.
An adhesive that doesn’t work with your environment.
Small frustrations that can make a long day feel even harder.
That’s why we think about more than just how a product performs.
When we develop something for ThousandLashes, we ask:
✨ Will this make your job easier?
✨ Will it save you time?
✨ Will it help you feel more confident and in control while you work?
Because the products you reach for every day should support the way you work, not add more stress to it.
That’s what we’re building at ThousandLashes. Products made with lash artists, their work, and their well being in mind.

Inner corners = the ultimate lash test. 😅
If your client’s inner lashes are always the first to shed, here’s the truth:
💥 It's not always about the glue.
It’s often about:
✔️ The prep
✔️ The angle
✔️ The curl
✔️ The pressure on the lash line
I’ve tested dozens of combos and this ONE tweak finally changed my retention.
Now my clients don’t complain about “bald corners” by week 2.

100 sets = 100 chances to learn, grow, mess up, and get better.
These are just a few of the lessons I’ve picked up from doing my first 100 lash sets:
✔️ Technique > Tools
✔️ Clients remember how you made them feel
✔️ Retention is about more than just glue
✔️ You’re allowed to grow out of your old prices
Don’t rush to be perfect and rushing robs you of experience.
If you’re still working toward your “set 100,” keep going.
And if you’ve already been there and what would you tell your beginner self?

We’ve been working on this rebrand for a while, and seeing the new packaging come to life has been so exciting. 💜
Same products you know. A completely new look.
We wanted the packaging to feel cleaner, more modern, and more like ThousandLashes today.
And now you’re going to get to see it up close 👀
We’re bringing the rebranded products to LashCon 2026, so if you’re attending, come find us and check them out in person.
We can’t wait to show you everything we’ve been working on.

A classic kitten eye is all about where you place the longest lengths.
For this set, the lengths gradually build from 11mm to 14mm, then taper back to 11mm at the outer corner. The result is a soft, elongated look without making the outer corner feel too heavy.
Map:
11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 11 | 11
D curl • 0.1 • 1D fan
The right map can make such a difference in how the final set looks on the eye.
Save this for your next kitten eye set 🤍
