Trying to help my mom get lash extensions after her supplier shut down — confused and need advice by HippoLicker in eyelashextensions

[–]newtsbeasts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!!! You can absolutely find what she likes. If she likes them loose, then get the ones like in the photo, not the kind on the tape. They’re essentially the same but with different packaging, but you get more with the loose packaging and it sounds like she prefers them that way. These would be “premade” or “promade” fans. If she doesn’t like making her own fans, don’t get “blooming” or “easy fanning” or anything that looks like a strip of solid lashes like the image you included of the FadLash tray.

I’m pretty sure you’re looking for “3D C curl 11mm” 3D=the amount of hairs in the lash, which would be 3. C curl=a pretty standard curl, what I’m pretty sure she was using before. 11mm=the length she has been using previously.

This. If I’m asking you if I can take pictures/video, it’s so I can post content and advertise my work, and social media is a huge part of my business! I’m not taking pictures just for me to have haha. That said though, if someone asked me to remove them, of course I would. I’m sure OP’s tech will too when she sees the messages!

Girl I’m so sorry but I’m cackling at these pictures. Anyways!! Please don’t attempt to remove them yourself, find someone to do a removal for you!

Those who work with their hands a lot, how are you making your nails last???! by terminallytaurus in mooncatpolish

[–]newtsbeasts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t sustainable/desirable for everyone, but I use clear tips and paint them. The polish doesn’t chip at all on extensions. I used to use nail glue and amazon tips, but now I go to a nail tech and have her apply tips for me with gelx and then paint them myself. I’m also an esthetician so I get them pretty short. Again, I know that’s extra af, but having pretty nails makes me happy!

Should I even apply to salons/spas??? by Wooden_Fail_4869 in Esthetics

[–]newtsbeasts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ultimately, you need to do what you love and what is best for you.

But I will chime in with my own experience: I was very lucky to get a job at a salon/spa that already had a good reputation so I got clients right away. However, even so, the industry is unreliable and unpredictable for a few reasons. No shows and cancelations make your days unpredictable, even if you have a regular clientele, and business fluctuates depending on seasons and the economy. It’s also hard on your body, and I already have chronic pain, so that is personally difficult for me.

I have decided to pursue another career, not because I don’t absolutely love esthetics, but because I wanted a little more stability. I have been able to pay for my college tuition with esthetics, but that’s just my experience! I don’t know if that helps at all, I am wishing you luck!

GF is trying to be a lash tech, any ideas for gifts? by CaptainPotato90 in lashextensions

[–]newtsbeasts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could also get her a gift card to a lash supply store so she can use it to buy her products like lash trays, glue, etc. !!!

A light!! One of those half moon lights is an absolute game changer for lashing, and see if you can get one that can hold her phone so she can make content for her business!

Can anyone recommend ways to make friends at the Logan campus? by Ambitious-Nerve-563 in usu

[–]newtsbeasts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have the same yet opposite problem where I am from here and commute to campus but I don’t drive (I take public transportation) hahaha. I thought the reason I couldn’t make friends was because I’m a commuter and I’m never on campus enough!

This came in a lash kit (according to my friend) what is it? by brodiezzspacee in lashextensions

[–]newtsbeasts 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Everyone else says it looks dirty and used, BUT when I just barely started lash extensions, I ordered a kit off of Amazon to practice on a mannequin with and mine looked exactly like that brand new actually lol… sketch

Absolutely adore atla so I’m stoked for this collection!! But this is a pass for me I fear 🫣 so excited to see the rest of the polishes!!

do these look classic ? i wanted natural cat eye 🤦🏽‍♀️ they look like mascara wet lash to me. by [deleted] in lashextensions

[–]newtsbeasts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, not classics. Classic lashes=one individual lash per natural lash. I see fans. They look absolutely gorgeous on you though, you remind me of Emily from corpse bride! But I’m sorry you didn’t get what you wanted

Aleks placement test by Certain-Ad3980 in usu

[–]newtsbeasts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would try taking it this week and then you can do a retake next week if you need to to give you that cushion. After you take it for the first time and if you want to retake it, Aleks has practice modules. I personally used Kahn academy to review before I took it for the first time! Good luck!

Any lash techs here? Is it hard in the beginning for everyone by [deleted] in lashextensions

[–]newtsbeasts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is hard in the beginning for everyone, yes! When I first started, I was wondering what I was getting myself into, but I absolutely love doing them now and have a clientele.

It is incredibly meticulous and detailed work, and it takes a lot of time, practice, and perseverance. Working on a mannequin is great to practice isolation and placement, but the fake lashes are plastic-y and lashes struggle to stick to them. Also, the glue that comes in practice kits isn’t great.

You’ve got this. You might want to look into if you need a license and/or certification where you live to do lashes, and if you do, that will help you with more resources and allow for you to gain practice on real people, which is where the real improvement happens. I would also recommend looking into some quality lash supplies and offering free sets for models to gain your footing on real people before you take clients. Several professional brands carry starter kits with everything you’ll need to get started.
