STEP-BY-STEP EYELASH REMOVAL PROCESS
1. PREPARE AND PROTECT
Before embarking on the eyelash extension removal process, it is crucial to protect the delicate skin under the eyes. Begin by placing Under Eye Pads to shield this sensitive area from any contact with the remover. By taking this precautionary measure, you ensure the safety and comfort of your client throughout the procedure.
2. CHOOSING THE RIGHT REMOVER
Selecting the appropriate eyelash extension remover is vital for an effective and safe removal process. For optimal results, we highly recommend using a cream-based glue remover, such as our Lash Extension Cream Remover. Unlike liquid removers that may leak into the eyes, a cream-based remover offers better control and reduces the risk of irritation.
3. APPLICATION OF REMOVER
To start the removal process, take a pea-sized amount of the cream remover on a disposable Brush or disposable lip applicator. Be cautious not to double-dip to maintain hygiene standards. Apply the remover carefully to the base of the lash extensions, ensuring you cover the areas where the glue is visible without getting any on the eyelids. Precision is crucial during this stage, especially when you are just starting, as you want to avoid contact with the client's natural lashes.
4. ALLOWING FOR EFFECTIVE REMOVAL
After applying the remover, allow it to work its magic for approximately 45 to 90 seconds. The cream-based remover acts swiftly, dissolving the glue and facilitating easy extension removal.
For more complex cases, you can extend the waiting time, but ensure you do not exceed the recommended limits.
5. REMOVING THE EXTENSIONS
Once the remover has effectively loosened the lash extensions, you can begin the removal process. Start by working gently with foam brushes, carefully lifting and separating the extensions from the client's natural lashes. Exercise caution and avoid tugging or pulling excessively, as you want to preserve the integrity of the natural lashes. Remember, a gentle touch is key to achieving a satisfying and damage-free removal.
6. DEALING WITH STUBBORN EXTENSIONS
In some instances, a few stubborn lash extensions may require additional attention. If any extensions prove resistant to removal, apply a small amount of remover directly to the base and let it sit for an additional 30 seconds. This extra time will provide the necessary opportunity for the remover to dissolve any remaining glue, making it easier to remove the extensions.
7. THOROUGH CLEANSING
Once all the lash extensions have been removed, it is essential to thoroughly cleanse the lashes and remove any residual product. To accomplish this, use our Lash Extension Cream Remover along with clean Foam Brushes. Gently wipe downward, ensuring you remove all traces of the remover. Rinse with distilled water, pat the lashes dry, and exercise utmost care during this process, considering the sensitivity of the eye area.
8. FINAL STEPS AND AFTERCARE
As the removal process comes to a close, gently remove the under-eye pads. Take a moment to appreciate the client's beautifully maintained natural lashes, which remain unharmed by the extension removal. Dispose of the removed lash extensions and discard disposable foam brushes.
