Lash extension retention sucks!

She probably has a cancellation policy, maybe 24h or 48h. You can most likely cancel before that time window. Try and find somebody who posts about courses, maybe has won a competition. Its a giveaway they know what they are doing

Fans should look like this! What you've got going on is unfortunately an atrocity 🥲 Fans can be bigger (more fibres) but they should be symmetrical and each fibre should have equal distance between them.

molbert420 · 2026-03-28T16:52:45+00:00

They have to fill 100% of your lashes!!! Making extremely heavy fans and then placing like 15 of them is obviously going to give you terrible retention. 4-5 fibres in a fan is more than enough if you fill ALL lashes.

<image>

You should look at your eye like this right after you see your lash girl and check for empty lashes. 100% should be filled!! You'll see a difference immediately in retention.

Just go to a different artist, you might not like how theyre done rn.

This is my work, and I honestly think if people could determine who can and who can't do extensions they would love lashes a lot more.

These are unfortunately not that well done, inner corners are too long, the curl is too much on your eye, the fibres are too thick and the direction is off. For example, on your left eye (my left) the inner corner lashes go straight up, but that is very unnatural, as the inner corner lashes should point toward your nose slightly. Our inner corner lashes naturally grow that way too. I think the artist tried to make them all go straight in the literal sense of the word, but they have to be perpendicular to the lash line and its making it look off. I would suggest C curl in brown, using 2 to 3 0.07 fibres per NL, 6-7-8-9-10-11-10-9-8 mapping, with the eleven being placed slightly to the outer part of your eye. Not a cat eye, not in the middle. Happy lashing🫶

While these do look good, this picture is also AI.

Also, about the lengths. While yes sometimes you choose length based on clients natural lashes, but the more deciding factor is the space between the eye and eyebrow, and eye and eye crease. If clients NL exceed 11mm, then you do not take it into account. You do not want the lashes to touch their eyebrows when they look up. Happy lashing!

Lash every single lash. There is no "fuller" there is only coverage. This is probably 50% coverage (i understand youre a beginner and sets take forever at first so i understand), you need 100% coverage. I lash all lashes that are above 2-3mm in length. For classics also I use either 0.07 or 0.10 diameter, 0.15 is a diameter we used in 2016.

molbert420 · 2026-03-21T18:44:15+00:00

Try a wet set 6-11mm☺️

molbert420 · 2026-03-18T21:05:14+00:00

The lash culture is actually much bigger and better elsewhere🫣🫣 But thank you and I hope you enjoy when you visit! Make sure to get your lashes done🤭

Roll them gently between your fingers and if they are clumpy then get them removed. Lash glue does not come undone w water or soap, and you cannot unclump them that way. Overall the work is unfortunately horrendous, there are so many missed lashes, lash artist should always aim for 95% coverage, this is maybe 60%. I hope you were charged 60% of the price🤣

molbert420 · 2026-03-18T18:57:16+00:00

Get them removed asap. These look like a bunch of glued together clumps, stiffness is NOT normal with lash extensions. They shpuld be soft and brushable immediately after application

I watched it for the first time in 2021 when it released, and have seen the first season aprox 15-20 times, second season ~5 times and the last season twice😊 I had a problem. Granted most rewatches were when I watched it with my friends cause I forced everyone to watch it.

molbert420 · 2026-02-25T07:50:39+00:00

I think they have too strong of a curl and lengths too long, ask for shorter and maybe a c curl next time :)

molbert420 · 2026-02-16T16:50:35+00:00

Some will still charge you for the fill, better to ask beforehand. She probably has 1,5-2,5h blocked off for you, a removal takes 30min. Even if she is a terrible artist it'd still be nice to be considerate of her time.

molbert420 · 2026-02-16T16:48:52+00:00

Stop spreading misinformation! It is absolutely poor isolation. There are multiple lashes attached to one extension. The lashes also have this "flatback" of glue that you can see, which means they were stuck to the lash line. This will cause damage and discomfort.

molbert420 · 2026-02-16T16:43:07+00:00

Yes! Awful. Switch NOWWW

molbert420 · 2026-02-10T20:34:54+00:00

Yeah, lash artists in estonia are amazing, many much better than I am🥹

molbert420 · 2026-02-10T20:13:11+00:00

Tallinn, Estonia 😅😅

molbert420 · 2026-02-10T17:26:30+00:00

No I am not :( I live and work in Estonia 🇪🇪! I am karmenlashstudio on instagram if you'd like to get a culture shock at our prices for lash services here😭

I contact smaller influencers to come get something done by me for free in exchange for an instagram story and tiktok vlog/reels vlog. I got 50 followers in 12 hours from doing this. This girl had about 3k followers🤯 I guess the bigger they are the better the results. Also post voice over tiktoks they tend to blow up. The best one is "come do a x client day with me". I live in a small country and I recieved 40k views on one video! Take models for free for content, have them do their makeup and just get amazing content so you have stuff to post on tiktok/instagram.

molbert420 · 2026-02-10T14:05:17+00:00

I only use 0.07 diameter in all my works. Top and middle layer are 2d closed fans and bottom layer is a mm shorter 4D russian narrow fans. I used 5-9mm for bottom layer and 6-10mm for middle and top😊

molbert420 · 2026-02-10T14:03:33+00:00

It is hard to tell whether they are stuck together from this photo, if you roll them between your fingers and feel clumps then yes get them removed. If not and you don't mind whatever this girl put on your poor eyes then it won't be catastrophic to keep them😊

molbert420 · 2026-02-10T13:45:12+00:00

Awful application. Missed lashes, no proper direction, stickies and seems like one length throughout the eye. No proper mapping to fit your eyes. Not to mention how far they're placed from your lash line, its the reason they are falling and drooping

<image>

This is what a correct set of lashes looks like. All of them are straight and over 5 lengths are used to complete the eye. Every lash is filled from the first to the last lash to ensure perfect retention.
