I’m here to give you logical solution that will work to the point your clients will be coming with feedback like this: “I don’t know what you did but this time my lashes lasted amazing, I almost forgot to book touch up appointment”.
Hi!, my name is Magda, I am a lash artist with 11 years of experience and exactly 5 years ago I moved to foreign country for love and started my business from zero, again. After starting lashes from my own bedroom and making a share of mistakes on my own I took international trainings that still didn’t teach me how to increase lash retention to 6-8 weeks. I experienced client loss after opening my first legitimate studio in Norway, after moving to Greece I knew this is my TOP priority to provide to my clients and be able to pay the bills of newly opened Lash Studio in the city centre of Rhodes island. By providing outstanding retention to my new clients, I knew this is going to accelerate building my clientele and expanding good reputation of my studio.
How did I manage to provide 6-8 weeks retention?
I took a leap of faith in my own skills and started testing different products and taking mentorship classes with people in the education field of chemistry. I had enough courage to test product combinations on my own clients who were returning back to see what actually works. I knew that in the worst case scenario I will apologise and redo their lashes for free. After understanding the logic behind the science and knowing how to effectively work with the products I chose for the preparation system of natural lashes. I was so confident in the results that I decided to announce to all my clients 3 weeks retention guarantee as a part of booking policy with me. Can you imagine how client can feel when they get this reassurance that the money they spend are not going to be wasted?!
What’s the secret sauce to increase lash retention for up to 8 weeks?
It certainly not “the perfect or strongest glue”. Read this article CLICK to understand why low and good quality ingredient lash adhesives can perform great. Retention is more complex than just a glue, it is to understand the attachment surface energy and how lash porosity can help your adhesive to have that stone hard bond, so your work actually can last for many weeks. Have you noticed some clients have better retention and some worse? This is occurring naturally when you haven’t prepared natural lashes with a product that is dedicated only for professional use. Lash adhesives adhere better and stronger to porous surfaces
and I am sure you have tried all the lash shampoos, even the ones that offer balancing the natural lashes? The truth is, natural lashes can’t be balanced when it involves the process of chemical polymerisation (the process of adhesive bonding & hardening), you need exactly the opposite – high alkaline shampoo with raw ingredients. Take a look at the microscopic picture of the natural eyelash to the left and ask yourself a question; Which one do you think the glue would be able to attach itself with the strongest possible power? Of course highly porous surface and that’s the condition you need to create before you start working on your clients lashes, to get that amazing retention.
Why most lash shampoo can’t increase lash retention?
Very simple, they don’t have the power to open hair shaft and often contain oils that stand
in a way of smooth bonding of your adhesive. ProShampoo has the ability to open hair shaft for the time of your application and help your adhesive to grip into the natural lash much stronger and deeper creating SUPER HOLD. You need to keep in mind this shampoo doesn’t serve a purpose of cleansing natural lashes, so make sure natural lashes are super clean so it can open the cuticles correctly and give your clients long lasting extensions, even on clients with the most oily skin/lashes.
