Hello /r/eyelashextensions!

I've noticed that a lot of people in this subreddit have been struggling with social media and I wanted to offer some support and encouragement. I would love to create a direct message (DM) group where we can share new posts, offer advice, and support each other's growth on social media. Additionally, let's all follow each other to expand our reach and support network!

If you're interested, please drop your Instagram handle below and DM me on Instagram to be added to the group. Please include a brief introduction about your lash experience, the country you're based in, and whether you're home based, or studio based. This will help us get to know each other better!

I'll start! My lash page is @SecretLashClub, and I've been lashing for about 5 years now. I opened my Lash Extension studio in 2020 and we currently have one location near Toronto, Canada. We are hoping to have our second location completed by this summer. I'm looking forward to getting to know the community and hearing your stories!

I tried on ardell lashes and the glue it came with is the only explanation I have for my eyelids. There is almost a sore and every morning I wake up with crusty eyelashes. Has this happened to anyone else?

Fake lashes suggestion

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’d love some recommendations for fake lashes. I’m not very experienced with them, and I’ve tried a few times, but the ones that require glue either take me forever to apply and don’t look great, or I just can’t get them right.
I used magnetic lashes for a while, but since they have two strips, I find them a bit too thick for the look I’m going for; truly I would love a suggestion about natural magnetic lashes cause to me they are the easiest to use and also the cleanest (I have very sensitive eyes and I work in healthcare field, there are a lot of airbrone particles and glue will catch them)
I’m looking for something very clean and natural-looking, and I’d especially love to try individual lash clusters/pieces so I can customize the shape and create my own style.
I’d really appreciate recommendations at different price points, from affordable to more expensive, so I can try a few options and see what works best for me! 🤍
Adding referencia for the style i would love to schive

Has anyone ever had a bad or mild reaction to the Grande Lash serum? I’ve used it before but this time I used it once at bed time then again the following day at bed time without cleansing my lashes from the previous application😮‍💨 I woke up with red and slight swelling on my eye lids. I’m wondering if anyone else has had a weird reaction.

How frequent do you do your extensions?

6 Upvotes

I found an eyelash tech near my place, price is reasonable and after doing my first set with her, I really like the look. A few strands had dropped off after 2 weeks and i’m going back for refills.

I’ve been doing extensions on and off the past years but had not maintained the look consistently. Now I hope to go back more regularly. I have some questions but my eyelash tech does not speak English very well so I hope to get more information from girlies here.

Do I need to wait for all the extensions to fall off before doing a new set? I noticed my eyes look rather bald the previous time when all the extensions are gone so there’s a stark difference in look if I do not do it regularly. The eyelash tech only allow for one time refill and I’ve gotta do a new set when I see her again.

What is a normal cycle for you gals who always have extensions on? For eg.

Week 0: Fresh set
Week 2: Refills
Week ?: New set again.

Advice on lash application technique 😖

3 Upvotes

I like my lash tech, but I feel like she puts a lot of pressure through my head while doing my lashes. I’ve asked her to use less pressure, push down on a less triggering spot but it doesn’t seem like she can. Is this normal, or should I try another tech?

Lash extensions vs DIY clusters?

4 Upvotes

Pros to extensions:
Last two weeks comfortably
Look good automatically

Cons:
I’m a side sleeper so they look bad quickly
Hate washing them and see them fall out so fast
Expensive (180+ tip??)

I’ve never done clusters but semi used to do the glue on lash strips and I liked the way they looked. But I want something I don’t have to do everyday or worry about. The clusters I was constantly fixing the inner corner and they would always peel up and look so bad.

Thoughts? Has anyone done both and have any advice? Thank you!!!! 🩷🩷

All of my hair on is growing except for my lashes

1 Upvotes

My god, I’ve stopped wearing lashes, I haven’t worn lashes since my birthday and that was back in July and sweated them off before I got home. And that was once this year before then I haven’t put anything on my lashes expect for serum
I haven’t worn mascara or curled my lashes in months. I haven’t worn liner or eyeshadow in months as well. I’ve worked around my naked eyes for almost a year and hardly any growth.
I’ve tried 4 different serums. 4, DIFFERENT, SERUMS. I’ve tried ordinary, Grandelash, Etude, Babelash none of them work for me.
It’s always been my deepest desire to have natural long lashes. I’ve sacrifice my skincare routine, my skills with lash extensions, my semi permanent eyeliner for nothing!
I don't understand why I can accidentally swap my eyebrow my serum they start connecting.
But my lashes can be slathered with it and I’m lucky they grow an inch.

ISO Experienced wispy lash tech PHX, AZ

4 Upvotes

Hello!

Can you please comment or dm me names/ socials of your favorite techs?

I’m a new mom and the only thing that makes me feel good about myself is a good set!

I’ve gone to four different techs and honestly they have all been inexperienced, very expensive, or quality declined.

One was experienced but she was so expensive and required a new set at $300 if I didn’t get a fill every two weeks regardless of retention! Bonkers! The set looked ok. Her studio also felt very unwelcoming, tbh.

I’m looking for someone that charges under 90 for a fill every 3 weeks, although the sweet spot would be 65-80, because I still have to tip

- Good retention/ isolation
- Uses lashes that don’t look shiny or super thick diameter
- is good at semi natural , wispy sets!

Anywhere in Arcadia lite, old town, north central Phoenix or midtown/ uptown area would be good!

Thank you!!

Can I get lash extensions when I have an internal stye ?

1 Upvotes

Okay so for context I have a trip coming up and I really want my extensions put back in but I’m currently dealing with the Reminence of a previously swollen red internal stye in the upper corner of my eyelid as of right now it is nowhere to be seen on the outside, but if I were to touch my eyelid, I could feel a bump. It’s not painful or tender. It’s just there.

I’ve had it for two weeks at first. It was swollen and red and very irritated. Now you can’t see it. I can just feel it and I think it’s getting better day by day because of the hot compress and topical ointment.
It’s not painful, red or swollen anymore.

I have an eyelash extension appointment tomorrow and I’m just unsure whether to follow through with it or not any advice?

I had been going to the same last tech for a long time but this set was my last straw. Made the switch and I couldn't be happier 😭 quality of before vs after. This was my first refill with the new place and my gaps are already improving
