As a lash artist, your speed and precision determine the quality of your work and how many clients you can serve. But getting faster shouldn’t mean cutting corners. The secret to lashing efficiently is working smarter, not harder.
If you’re looking to increase your lash speed while keeping every set flawless, these 10 expert techniques will help you work more efficiently without compromising quality.
1. Perfect Your Isolation
Isolation is the foundation of a clean lash set. If your isolation technique is weak, you’ll spend more time correcting stickies and removing misplaced lashes. Invest in high-quality isolation tweezers and practice using both hands to improve your speed and accuracy.
2. Use the Right Adhesive
Your adhesive plays a huge role in speed. If it dries too slowly, you’ll have to hold each extension in place longer. If it dries too fast, you might struggle with attachment. Choose a glue that matches your room’s temperature and humidity for optimal performance.
3. Optimize Your Setup
A well-organized workspace helps you move efficiently. Keep your adhesive, tweezers, and lash trays within easy reach to reduce unnecessary movement. The less time you spend searching for tools, the faster you can work.
4. Master Fan-Making
If you do volume lashes, speed in fan-making is crucial. Whether you use pinch, flower bouquet, or the strip method, practice different techniques until you find the fastest one for you. Pre-made fans can also help cut down application time while maintaining a flawless look.
5. Pre-Map Your Lash Sets
Lash mapping eliminates hesitation and keeps your application consistent. Before you start, mark your lengths and styling directly on the eye pad. This way, you won’t waste time deciding which lash to place next.
6. Control Your Environment
Adhesive performance depends on temperature and humidity. If your room isn’t at the right levels, your glue won’t work efficiently, causing slow attachment or retention issues. Use a hygrometer to monitor conditions and adjust with a humidifier or dehumidifier as needed.
7. Train Your Hands for Precision
Speed comes with practice. The more you work, the better your muscle memory becomes. Set aside time to practice pickup, placement, and fan-making techniques so your hands move with confidence and efficiency.
8. Work in Layers
Instead of placing lashes randomly, work in layers—starting from the bottom and moving up. This method helps create a fuller look faster and ensures even distribution, making the application process smoother.
9. Stay Organized
Sorting your lashes by length, curl, and diameter saves time during application. Use a well-labeled lash palette to avoid unnecessary searching and speed up your workflow.
10. Keep Learning and Improving
Even the best lash artists continue to refine their techniques. Taking advanced training helps you discover faster application methods, better retention techniques, and more efficient ways to deliver high-quality results.
