To attach an extension safely and correctly, you will need to isolate one
individual natural lash before attaching the extension. If you attach the
extension to 2 natural lashes, you will cause damage and discomfort to your
client. As lash artists, we pride ourselves on clean and safe applications, and
this is where it all starts…perfect isolation!
TARGET THE LASH
Most artists tend to go in “blind” when attempting isolation. The trick is to
locate the extension you want and focus on that. Over time you will develop the
ability to recognize the lash you want and “home” in on that.
Approach the lash and the eye with your tweezers closed and then open the
isolation tweezer approx. 1mm. Accurately place your tweezer gap over the
extensions, and wiggle from left to right, so that you are wiggling the lash out
on its own. This takes some practice, but once you get the hang of it, it’s a very
effective technique of isolation.
Please know that isolation is not easy and takes time to perfect. Do not get
frustrated, instead keep working at it. It’s unlikely that when you go to isolate,
you will get the lash the first time. You must keep working at it and “attacking”
the lash you have identified.
