5 Proven Techniques to Speed Up Your Lash Application: A Guide for Lash Technicians

As a lash technician, efficiency is key to maximising your time and increasing your revenue. Lashing faster doesn't mean sacrificing quality; it's about finding the right techniques and tools to streamline your process. Here are five proven techniques to help you lash faster without compromising on quality.

  1. Master Your Isolation Technique
    Isolation is the foundation of a successful lash application. Mastering your isolation technique will help you work faster and more efficiently. Use a high-quality pair of isolation tweezers with a fine tip to isolate each natural lash. Practice makes perfect, so take the time to hone your isolation skills.



  2. Use the Right Materials
    Pre-made fans are a game-changer for lash technicians looking to speed up their application. These pre-made fans are already fanned out and ready to apply, saving you time and effort. They can come in various lengths, curls, and thicknesses, allowing you to customise your client's lash look quickly and easily. Though if you are a hand-made lash artist, it is best to perfect one type of fanning method e.g. the pinching technique, flower bouquet technique, OTS method, etc. 

  3. Invest in a Good Quality Adhesive
    A good quality lash extension adhesive is essential for a fast and efficient lash application. Look for an adhesive with an optimal drying/curing time and a strong bond. This will allow you to work faster without compromising on retention. Remember to shake the adhesive well before each use and replace it regularly to ensure continued optimal performance.

  4. Use a Lash Mapping Technique
    Lash mapping is a technique that involves mapping out the desired lash look before starting the application. This helps you visualise the final result and work more efficiently with confidence. Either use a lash mapping tool or a marker to map out the desired lash length, curl, and direction on the client's eyelid or eye-pads. 

  5. Practice Time Management
    Time management is crucial for lashing faster. Set a realistic time frame for each client and stick to it. It is beneficial to keep a timer on the side of your working station to keep track of your progress and avoid spending too much time on one eye. Remember, practice makes perfect, so the more you practice, the faster you'll become. 

 

Lashing faster is achievable with the right techniques and tools. Mastering your isolation technique, using materials most suited to you, investing in a good quality adhesive, using a lash mapping technique, and practicing time management will help you work more efficiently without compromising on quality. By implementing these techniques, you'll be able to increase your revenue and provide exceptional lash services to your clients.
