This is a real lash HORROR 😳
This poor girl came to me needing an infill and what I saw was horrifying! She was going to this other lash tech since January, paying $80 every WEEK!! And still what I saw did not look healthy or good.

Let’s talk about a major epidemic happening in the lash industry right now: The 2-day crash course “masters” charging Master Stylist prices for... whatever this is.

We’ve all seen it (or worse, been a victim of it):
❌ Zero isolation (hello, permanent damage and pain)
❌ Chunks of glue holding on for dear life
❌ Heavy, thick extensions ruining natural lashes
❌ The Audacity: A $180+ price tag plus a mandatory 25% tip.

Taking a quick weekend course and buying a ring light does not make someone a safe lash artist. Proper lashing takes months, sometimes years, of practice, anatomical knowledge, and precision. Your natural lash health should never be the price paid for someone’s “practice run.”
If you’re a client: Cheap work isn’t good, but expensive work isn’t always qualified. Look at raw, unedited close-ups of your tech’s work. Ask about their certifications. If your eyes burn, itch, or feel heavy, that is not normal.

If you’re a licensed, hardworking tech who actually spent time mastering your craft: Drop a 🧵 in the comments to show love for the real professionals.

Not quite ready for lash extensions? I got ya! 🙌🏻 Lash lift is such a amazing treatment if you want that boost for your natural lashes.
It will give you a length that you always wanted and tint to highlight your eyes.
Add a pop of mascara for even more dramatic look 💓
