πΈ Lash Cluster Application Worksheet πΈ
π Introduction to Lash Clusters
Lash clusters are small groups of lashes that are applied directly to the natural lash line for a fuller, customized look. They are faster to apply than individual extensions and can be styled for natural or dramatic results.
π§Ό Sanitation & Safety First
Before working with lashes, always remember:
-
Wash Hands β Clean hands before touching tools or lashes.
-
Sanitize Tools β Disinfect tweezers, scissors, and other tools before and after each client.
-
Disposable Products β Always use disposable mascara wands and glue rings.
-
No Double Dipping β Never re-use lash glue or tools without cleaning.
-
Client Safety β Make sure clientβs eyes are closed and protected during the entire application.
π Lash Cluster Sizing
Choosing the right size creates balance and comfort:
-
Short (8β10mm): Great for inner corners or a natural look.
-
Medium (12β14mm): Perfect for everyday volume with some glam.
-
Long (15mm+): Best for dramatic looksβuse sparingly on outer corners for flair.
π Tip: Mix different sizes for a natural, wispy effect!
