Health, Comfort and Safety Factors for Choosing the Right Eyelash Studio
Here is a list of factors that clients tell us are important to them, in choosing an eyelash extensions studio.
Health and safety. Is the studio licensed as a business, and by the health authorities? Is it insured? Is it clean and hygienic?
Quality. Does the studio practice exclusively eyelash extensions? Do the lashes last for at least 5 weeks, before a new set is required?
Privacy. You are on your back for up to 2 hours. You need privacy, and the lighting should also be good. Preferably sunlight and in an above-ground location (yes, some people practice in their basements).
Price. Can you afford to come back to the location, on a monthly basis? If the lashes fall off before a month, then this is not affordable for most people.
Exclusivity. Does the technician specialize in only lashes, or are her services spread amongst many specialities? Are you in danger of smelling strong fumes (such as from acetone) or loud noises (hair dryers)?
Multiple trained staff. This is important, because if you fall in love with your eyelash extensions, and you're at a studio with only one service provider, then there is a very good chance you won't get that pre-Christmas, pre-holiday, or pre-wedding refill on time. And, if you do, there's a good chance you'll pay dearly for that refill.[/box]
