One of the most common questions lash artists face is: "Is my client having an allergy, or is it just irritation?"
In this episode, I break down the key differences between lash extension allergies and irritations, why it's important to know the signs of each, and how to confidently troubleshoot client concerns while staying within your scope of practice.
Drawing on nearly 12 years of experience as a lash artist and educator, I also shared why continuing your education is one of the best investments you can make in your career and why it's okay to question outdated industry advice as new research, products, and techniques continue to evolve.
In this episode, we cover:
💖 Why the lash industry is constantly evolving and why continuing education matters.
🦋 The importance of questioning outdated information and staying current with industry best practices.
✨ The differences between a true adhesive allergy and an irritation including the common signs and symptoms of each type of reaction.
💖 Why lash artists should never diagnose or recommend medications for clients.
🦋 When it's time to refer a client to an optometrist or other medical professional.
✨ Practical troubleshooting tips to help keep your clients safe, comfortable, and coming back to you again and again.
Whether you're a new lash artist or have years of experience behind the tweezers, this episode will help you better understand how to identify common issues, improve the client experience, and continue growing as a knowledgeable beauty professional!
