(CLIENT PREPARATION CONTINUED)

Before Lash Treatments

Follow basic sanitation procedures
Fill out Client Record card and discuss treatment.
Have client remove contact lenses.
Place client in a partially reclining position in the facial chair.
Drape clean towel across client's chest to protect clothes.
Remove all eye makeup thoroughly with a non-oily makeup remover, and
dry area.
Complete client consultation sheet
Position client comfortably
Take a before photograph
Protect client’s hair with a head band or mop cap and drape a towel or bed
roll over the client’s upper body to protect clothing
Sanitize your hands
Remove any traces of make up using an oil free make up remover and a
clean cotton pad, place cotton pad in bin
Comb through the lashes using a disposable mascara wand, put the
mascara wand to the side for later in the treatment

Cleansing with a lash bath shampoo is VITAL to successful bonding. Make sure you
prepare your clients natural lashes for the extension application by using Protein
Remover wipes or liquid before beginning the treatment. This will ensure you have
clean lashes with no residue on them which will aid in creating a perfect bond.

You MUST clean the client’s eyelashes to start with even if they did not wear eye
makeup or mascara to the appointment.

Let’s face it, pre-treatment is a minefield. From cleansers to primers, boosters
to pre-bonders - what does it all mean? And does it even make a difference?

To cut a long story short, how you complete your pre-treatment has as much of
an effect on the retention of the lashes as the glue you use. It can be the
difference between 2 weeks of retention, and 5 weeks of retention, so it is very
important to get it right - lash retention is client retention, after all!
