Your lash artist will begin with a lash consultation, analyzing your face and eyes to identify the lash style that will suit you best. After your lashes have been cleaned, dried and brushed, your lower lashes will be taped down to keep them out of the way, and your upper eyelid will be taped in place too.
Your lash artist will map out the design of the eyelashes and then work through applying the extensions, using one pair of tweezers to part your natural lashes, and another pair to pick up and affix the extensions.
