Photos of your work

[Lash Out! Administrator]

Here is a photo of a Lash Model recently. I used mainly 0.20 combined with 0.15 thick J-curl lashes on her. We applied mascara on her lashes for the photos but she didn't really need it.

How do you post photos of your work in these types of things? I can never figure it out.

To post photo's go to
www.photobucket.com and create a free account.

Then upload the photo from your computer into Photobucket. Once you have uploaded the photo, photobucket will give you a html code that is attached to it.

In order to publish your image on the Chat room, you need to cut and paste the : IMG Code -( Forums & Bulletin Boards) into the chat room, here where you type.

You can choose how big you want the photo and also add flashing or moving images. Let me know if you get stuck..Have fun!

Here's a few more:

The first pic is of a client before her 4 week fill. I forgot to add tags to the photos and sorry for the biggness, not computer savvy. The other 2 clients are after their 4 week fill.

Beautiful clean work. I bet that client was happy?
What lengths/thickness did you use?

You did good with your photobucket experience...well done.

Tami Love you photos.
What thickness of lashes did you use on the middle picture with the crystals?
They look like 0.25 lashes, is that correct?

[ilashes4u]

Thanks!!! You really think those lashes are good? WOW that means alot. It seems I already had a photobucket account because of something I did on myspace. I used .15 in 10 mm and .20 in 12mm Super Curly's from Novalash.

I noticed you didn't put any 8's in the inner corner.
I normally use 3 different lengths. 8-10-12 and combine them.
Lately I've been doing more 7-9-11 with only 5 or 6 longer lashes on the outer corners.

When your applying extensions on crocked natural lashes - if you bond the extensions to the entire length, it will sit crocked too. Try bonding the extension only 1/2 way, securing the base and directing it to where YOU want it to go, rather than where it naturally will go. If your using the Flash glue, it will set fast enough for you to nudge it in the direction you want. It kind of looks like a split end effect, but nobody notices the natural lash - only the extensions. Ensure the base is secured and you control its destiny.

Thanks for the tip, I do tend to ignore the inner corners a bit. I use the NLPB glue only because thats what I was trained with. I have a question though for you. I have been useing sealer after my clients are done just to see the difference but I dont know exactly what it is supposed to do? Can you tell me why it is used and does it matter that I dont use a heated curler afterwards?

The sealer is not a product that I am familiar with. I retail Extendalife coating for my clients to use at home, but rarely do I put anything on the lashes after the application.

I have never recommended the use of a sealer, lash coating or Heated Curler straight after the application of Eyelash Extensions.
Its just not necessary IMO (In my opinion) - If it ain't broke, why fix it?
Personally, I prefer to allow the glue to cure naturally on its own, without any other chemicals or heat added to the process. You'll know if your glue is working well enough for you, by the client returns. Their lashes should be lasting between 3-4 weeks between lash fills WITHOUT having to add any sealer or coating.

I suggest that clients use the heated Lash curlers to untangle their extensions and give them a slight curl. Best time to do that is after the shower when the lashes are wet.

In the salon, I recommend the heated lash curlers to help bond C-Curls to very straight lashes or to lift the natural lashes off the tape/eyepads. Some Asian clients lashes are VERY straight and point down onto the bottom tape. Buy using the heated eyelash curler to lift the natural lashes up, it prevents the glue/extensions from sticking to it.

Hi Bonnie, thanks for your kind words!
I used 0.20 thick J-Curl lashes on that set.
She had actually come in for her 3rd lash fill, so it wasn't a new full-set photo. Most of the original lashes had grown out.

[Bonnie]

How long do you guys allow for a full set?

[ilashes4u]

2 hours usually.
