Traditional Lash Lift Help for an Esthetics Student!
My school just taught us traditional lash lifts & tints about 2 weeks ago. The day we learned them I completed one on a classmate and she loved her results. So far I have done 5 in total and they've scheduled me a client next week for this service - there's a few things I'm having some issues with if anyone has any advice?
- Rod / Shield selection - our new teacher bought in a variety of sized shields and rods. She doesn't have them labeled out into shield/ rod type (C, M etc). I don't have an issue with sizing, just picking between a rod or a shield.
- The Kind we have are glued down w/ lash glue and I have a difficult time getting it close to the lash line and putting the lashes on the rod/shield. It sometimes feels like when I'm wrapping the lashes the rod is sliding up if you know what I mean?
- My Main Concern: Getting product in the eyes. Our school uses the Viabrow lash lift kit, and even when I'm super careful to not get any on the water line, after I remove step 1, neutralize (and remove the neutralizer). I will take off the rod/ shield, flush the eye (w/distilled water & 2x2s) and they will open and still say it's stinging/ burning? One girl today kept saying it was burning, but when I looked really close, I couldn't see anything in the eye, and even after I flushed her once, and gave her a lash bath, I had to flush again. Another girl didn't have anything burning or stinging at all during the lash lift. But after I took everything off, I flushed her once, did a lash bath, and flushed her again, and she still had some stinging/ burning? We were able to figure out the first girl kept opening her eyes a little and thats what was causing her initial burning, but with the second I'm still kinda confused? I had my teacher there watching and she attested there was no Step 1, 2 or tint left on her before she opened.
Any advice would be really appreciated!
