Eyelash Extension Kit: Classic Lashes Edition

The Lash Kit Makes the Lash Technician, But What Goes Into A Kit?

Getting into the world of lash extensions might seem easy, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. You know you need classic eyelash extensions, lash glue, and tweezers, but with so many options, how do you choose? Let’s dive into what you need in your lash extension kit for classic lash extensions.

Choosing Your Lashes

To keep it simple, classic eyelash extensions come in four thicknesses, depending on the look your client wants and their natural lashes.

0.10 Classic lashes: Perfect for a natural look that enhances the eyes.

0.12 Classic lashes: Offers a mascara effect. Great for clients with lots of natural lashes, giving a fuller look.

0.15 Classic lashes: Gives a darker mascara effect and is the thickest of the lash extensions you should use to keep natural lashes safe.

0.18 Classic lashes: Provides a bold finish but can be a bit heavy, so not for every client.

Start with mixed length trays of C and CC curls; these are the most universally flattering and versatile. This lets you experiment with different lengths before you decide which ones to stock up on.

Glue Selection

Choosing the right lash extension glue depends on a few factors, especially your room’s temperature and humidity. Grab a digital hygrometer to check these before picking your glue. As a newbie, you'll likely need more time to place your lash extensions, so opt for Satin Bond with a 2-second drying time or Lady Bond with a 1-2 second drying time. If you’re not ready to commit to one type yet, you can also try out our glue samples.

Pick Your Tweezers

You’ll need two pairs of tweezers: one for isolating the natural lashes and one for picking up and placing the lash extensions. 

The best tweezers for you depend on your hand's comfort angle, so test different shapes to find your match. Always have a spare pair on hand — Multifunctional Tweezers are a good choice as they can be used for classic lashes, isolation, and creating quick 2D fans.

Personal note: I prefer Curved Tweezers for isolation and Multifunctional Tweezers for picking and placing lashes because their angles are super comfortable for me.

If you haven’t already, we highly recommend you check out our latest collab with Staleks. We've got seven different types of lash tweezers perfect for volume lashes, classic eyelash extensions, and mega volume lashes. Both the Petite Curved and the Petite L-Shaped are excellent for isolating natural lashes, and picking up classics!

Any More Items Needed?

Absolutely. Here’s some extra items that you’ll need:

Under Eye Patches and/or Tape: Tape holds the lower lashes down, but under eye patches are more comfortable for clients.

Lash Prep: Clean lashes and the surrounding skin thoroughly. Lash Shampoo works well if you're on a budget, just ensure you rinse properly. Build up to a more detailed routine over time to extend lash retention.

Eyelash Extension Remover: Sometimes, you’ll need to remove lashes. A Cream Remover is great as it's easy to apply and doesn't risk running into the client's eyes.

This is a simplified guide to setting up your kit for classic lash extensions. There are loads more nuances and options out there, but keeping it simple at the start is key. As you build up your skills, you can expand your kit. If you want to avoid the hassle, you can always grab a pre-made classic lash extension kit that suits your budget.
