Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Lash Artist

When choosing a lash artist, it helps to ask more than just the service price or appointment length.

I'm constantly extending my lash knowledge, as someone truly passionate about the lash industry, there is still 1 question that gets me every time.

I'm sure by now you are dying to know what wish more customers would ask!

Lash extensions should not cause ongoing pain, poking, burning or significant discomfort. Raise concerns promptly.

Make sure you take your time in choosing the right lash place, do not choose someone based on how long they have been doing lash extensions, trust me, years are not equivalent to technique or quality.

Rules and training expectations differ around the world. Check the requirements that apply in your city, province, state or country.

In Canada, applicable public-health, business and occupational rules may vary by jurisdiction. Do not assume there are no regulations at all.

Ok ok ok, so here it is,

In the hundreds of clients and the endless amount of calls and questions, the number 1 craziest question I get asked, is a question I'm not asked at all and wish people would ask me!!

Never does anyone ask me if I'm certified!!

A short course and a certificate do not by themselves establish practical competence. Ask what was taught, how much practice was required and whether ongoing support is available.

What is crazier than that?? Yes, there is more you should know..

A professional setting is encouraging, but always ask about the artist's actual training and safe application practices.

Avoid assumptions about other businesses or their employees. Evaluate each provider's training, procedures and client care individually.

Now we know asking for certification is super important you must also know there is another huge problem that even certified lash technicians are experiencing.

When comparing lash courses, ask about hands-on instruction, student feedback, assessment and the specific skills a graduate can demonstrate.

Choose education based on the quality of instruction and practice opportunities, not unsupported claims about other training providers.

A poor experience may discourage someone from trying lashes again, but reactions require careful assessment; permanent intolerance cannot be assumed.
