If you are a lash extension technician who is always looking to improve and try new things, adding color lash extensions to your service menu can be a great idea. Let's go over some more details about this type of eyelash extension.
1. Why should your salon offer color lash extensions?
Colored lash extensions have been popular for many years. People who want to try something new, those who like to put on makeup and a stand-out look, are adored at parties.
Colored lash extensions are an excellent way to attract new clients while also offering something unique that is not available in every salon. If someone gets colored lash extensions from you, they will return for regular eyelash extensions or other services. This market is extremely competitive, and there are many eyelash technicians nowadays, so this can be an excellent way to stand out and increase brand awareness.
2. Who can you offer colored lash extensions to?
If your salon offers color eyelash extensions, these are the target clients.
- Trendsetters
This look will appeal to young people who enjoy experimenting with makeup. Those who are inspired by the popular TV show Euphoria will want to wear as many different colors on their faces as possible. It's impossible to achieve with just mascara; colored lash extensions will be far more effective.
- Clients who want to enhance their natural eye color
Colored lashes can draw attention to the color of a person's eyes. Orange tones, for example, complement blue eyes, whereas pinkish and purple tones complement any eye color, especially green eyes. Even so, if your clients' eyes are already a bright green, blue, or light brown, going for a full set of color lashes in bright hues can greatly boost their eye color. Purple extensions make brown eyes appear larger and enhance the beauty of green eyes. Green lash extensions draw attention to brown eyes and make them appear fashionable. Blue lash extensions enhance the appearance of blue eyes and complement green and brown eyes as well.
- Costume matching
If your clients have a special occasion requiring them to wear a costume, having colored eyelashes can be fascinating.
3. How do you go about applying color lash extensions?
Colored lash extensions allow you to express your individuality. Here are a few styles to consider:
- Full set
Of course, there is a full set. Each colored extension is glued to one natural lash, just like regular lash eyelash extensions. This is a very standout look. Blue, purple, and pink are the most common colors for the full set.
- Wispy lashes
Wispy lashes with colored eyelashes are another popular look. It's usually done with colored lashes that are shorter and regular black lashes that are longer. It can also be done the other way around. Spikes can be colored and the rest can be black. It can also be two different colors, such as a basic set in green and spikes in red. Perfect for the daring!
- Ombre lashes
The ombre look is popular in hair, permanent brows, nails, and eyelash extensions. The ombre colored lash extensions set includes extensions with darker roots and lighter tips. It can be any color, and people absolutely love the ombre style.
- A pop of color
Finally, a pop of color eyelashes, a cat-eye design in black lash extensions with a few color lashes in the outer corner of the eye. This look is much more sophisticated while still being playful and creative, making it ideal for those who have never had colored extensions before. It's not as remarkable as the full set, but it's still worth mentioning. Lash artists typically place 10-15 eyelashes in the outer corner.
4. Is there anything else you should know about color eyelash extensions?
If you want to include colored lash extensions in your service menu, here are some rules to be followed:
- Use clear glue instead of black, as black will clash with pink, yellow, or other brightly colored lashes.
- Examine the client's natural lashes carefully to ensure that the colored extensions are not too heavy for the client's eye.
- Keep track of the length you're using and stick to the mapping.
