Troubleshooting, Lashes aren't adhering to the shields or rods

if you use too little adhesive, lashes won't stick. You may also need to apply more glue than typical for stubborn lashes. Ensure that lashes are properly cleansed and free of debris that may cause interference. Lastly, check your adhesive product to make sure it hasn't expired and that you are storing it properly.

The lift didn't work, or the curl didn't last.

There are multiple reasons that the lifting service did not work properly.

• Check your products for their expiration date and proper storage.

• Always start with properly cleansed lashes that are free of debris.

• Using too much adhesive can prevent the lifting solution from penetrating the eyelash hairs. If needed, use the Y comb to remove excess solution.

• Not enough lifting solution was applied to ensure adequate coverage of the lashes. This can happen when it is applied too thinly, when not enough of the mid-section of the lashes is covered, or when plastic wrap is used and smears the solution unevenly. Apply solution for adequate coverage and be gentle when using plastic wrap during processing.

• The lashes were not allowed enough time to process. Check the manufacturer's guide for the appropriate processing time and use a timer during the service. If the client requests another service, it is safe to do so, keeping in mind the processing time you previously performed on the lashes.

• Check in with your client on their aftercare routine!

Lashes are too curled after the service

Make a note in the client chart to use a larger shield or rod at the next service. Overly curled lashes can be relaxed by gently combing the lashes with a mascara wand and lifting solution. Follow with neutralizing solution.

Lashes are messy or have an odd shape.

Crossed and messy-looking lashes occur when the lashes are not properly straightened on the shields or rods before processing and setting. After adhering lashes to the shields or rods, use the Y comb or eyelash separation tool to straighten and separate the lashes. If finished lashes have an L shape instead of a curl, the shields or rods were placed too far down on the eyelid. Ensure proper placement of the shields and rods before adhering the eyelashes

Lashes are frizzy and damaged.

Do not allow the lifting solution or neutralizing solution to overprocess. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for processing time. Frizzy lashes can also occur if the lifting solution is applied too close to the tips of the lashes, which are more delicate and process quicker. Remember to only apply to the midsection of the lashes
