Depending on your specific preferences and needs, your eyelashes can be a big reflection of who you are.

• Are you a natural beauty who believes less is more or are you a sophisticated diva that enjoys glam 24/7?

Whatever your style, there is a custom set of eyelashes that is waiting just for you. Pondering over your options will help not only your own understanding of what would be flattering, it will also help emphasize to the artist your expectations.

With a properly instructed lash artist, they are likely able to gain insight into what you want by the initial consultation. Pictures and examples that you as the customer may find are often appreciated in order to replicate a specific style and gain insight about your expectations. However, keep in mind it depends on the quality of your natural eyelashes. That’s where eyelash options come in.

Silk, Fur and Synthetic are just a few options of available eyelashes on the market. If you prefer a natural effect, mink are as natural as they come. (Besides the controversial human hair eyelash extensions now floating the web.) Mink fur extensions when purchased from USA or EU locations tend to be humanly manuafactured by brushing minks from an open range mink farm. Farmers comb the minks daily releasing residual hairs. After cleansing, cutting and arranging on sticky tape they are able to sell to markets. The mink does set a specific standard of class but it isnt for everyone. Allergies to small rodents like rabbits will prevent your mink lashes from being a good fit; Thats where silk or synthetic comes in.

Synthetic will almost always replicate the look of mascara when using a .15mm width eyelash. The natural glossy looking shine creates an appearance of makeup without the hassle. Again, its not soley based on your preference as anyone can be allergic to anything. Synthetics eyelashes of good quality tend to be made of nylon with a silk core. They should remain flexible yet maintain their shape throughout the lash cycle. Unlike silk lashes, synthetic eyelashes tend to be on the firmer side, which too some it can be too heavy. Silk would be a great alternative to synthetic and mink.

With so many options available it may feel overwhelming but there are differences that are highly beneficial to your lash needs.

One final thought to add is to find an experienced eyelash tech when wanting custom designs. If you see your lash tech only offers one specific eyelash style and does not offer any other options that fit your specific needs, it may be time to research another alternative.

Litigation has been a booming business throughout the centuries and the last thing anyone would need is a reason to be nervous of the consequence of making a bad business decision. If a client has health concerns that can potentially put them at risk, would it be wise to continue the service? No.

Being polite, sounding well educated in the matter and firm with your answer will help you to show your professionalism and protect you from potential litigation. Standing firm with your answer will seem tough at times as clients can be persistent. Obvious issues such as visible cuts, blisters, skin irritations, infections should all be avoided as it can cause further issues including expensive medical bills.
