How To Properly Isolate Lash Extensions + Tape Application/Removal

The first thing you're going to want to do is make sure that those bottom lashes are completely taped down. You want to ensure that that tape is covering all of your clients, natural lashes on the bottom, and that there's not any extra lashes sticking out. You really want to make sure that you line this tape up right below the water line, not on their water line and not into their eye. If you tape your tape too high, this can really easily cause irritation, cause their eyes to water, so just go ahead and line that tape up right beneath the water line, and just so, it's just covering up those bottom lashes and ensures that your clients, lashes, aren't Going to get stuck so just a little tip or trim have your client to look up at you whenever i'm trying to get my clients tape down, and i can't always see their lashes clearly i'll have them to look up at me and by looking up at Me it just really allows them to open up their eye nice and wide and it'll separate those bottom lashes and those top lashes from one another. So, as you can see here, i have her look up at me and is causing her to put her eye all the way up, and then i can just go back in with the white tape and cover up any extra lashes that i see that the initial Tape now did not cover. This is something that i do without my clients. I always tape down with the blue tape first, just because it causes less tension on the lashes and it's not as sticky, but it'll still hold them down, and then i just go in with either a clear tape or a white tape and over any other lashes, That i see that have not been covered, and i also really like the color of the white tape, because now you see when she closes her eyes, i can see perfectly where the lashes are that i need to still lash in for her feel. So if you see that there are one or two natural bottom lashes, not taped down from your initial tape down, you want to make sure that you go in and get those taped down really good, if not it'll very easily cause their eye to get glue, shut Or you can also lash the bottom lash thinking that it's a top lash, because once their eye is shut, you won't be able to tell which lashes are actually on the bottom and on the top. So you always want to go in and make sure that you just get everything taped down really good, because it's going to make it twice as easy to get your set done. Okay, so now that we've got the tape down done, we can go ahead and move along to the isolation portion, and i slowed this down for you guys a bit just because i want to try to make it as clear as possible, starting with my tweezers at The base of the lash line and i'm just using them to open up the areas so that the natural lash is nice and isolated from any of the lash line. And then using my tweezers to open up the area. Where i want to isolate the lash and place a lash extension on so as you can see, i'm just sliding it right next to the natural lash, i'm not sliding it on top, i'm not sliding it under, but i'm holding my tweezers and making sure that i Don'T let any of the other natural lashes or any of the other lash extensions touch that lash that's professional lashtech. We use. You know one second group glue two second drying glue, so you really have one second to place that on right, but you can do your lash heads much faster using a fast drying adhesive so really make sure that you are properly isolating the lashes it'll help with Retention it'll help with the client's natural lash, and you just always want to make sure that you're using the best techniques possible and when you're placing the lashes on you're, placing it on properly the first time. So i'm going to go ahead and do the same thing as you can see just start at the bottom of that lash line make sure that you're getting any other lashes. That may be near that natural lashes you're trying to lash and you can just go ahead and slide on the lash extension right on the side - just go ahead and drop it in and then once you do, that you want to make sure that you turn the End of the tweezers so that you're able to straighten out your lash. So it may look like it's right onto their lash line. But you want to also make sure you don't get it onto their skin just on right onto the bottom of the lash line and go ahead and use those tweezers to turn the lashes and make sure that they're, nice and neat this one is in real time. You can't see as clearly the full isolation but you're just going to continue the same process so make sure there's no other lashes from this angle. It'S kind of hard to see the way it's isolated, but i'm just using the same exact process. There'S no other lashes. Touching it no other natural lashes, no other lash extensions and i'm just going through and making sure that everything is nice and clean and nothing is stuck together. So once you get done, placing the lashes on you can just go ahead and check um with the mirror. I always like to use a mirror just to see if there's anything that looks out of place and then of course you want to go ahead and brush them out and then just take a really good look to see. If there's any other areas where you need to add more lashes want to focus on making sure your lash sets are as neat as possible, um and that your client is getting. You know a nice clean, look every time they come so just kind of brush through take a good look see if there's any areas where you need to add anything to remove anything, and if not, then we can go ahead and move on to the tape removal. Okay, so moving on to the removals so, like i mentioned in the other video, sometimes i use the white tape and other times i use the clear. So in this instance, i use the clear tape but, as you can see, i'm pulling the tape down in a downward motion. So it's really important that you use this little tip or this little trick, because it doesn't cause any tension to your clients lashes, because they're already growing in a downward direction. So you want to make sure that you also take your time and you don't poke them with the tweezers, but that you get just the bottom edge. As you can see, you just want to pull straight down and release the tape and then from there. I just go through and make sure nothing is stuck. I go ahead and seal my client down with some sealant and we're good to go.
