Handheld Mirror
Ever found yourself contorting into strange shapes to check your work? This little accessory might seem like just another mirror, but it’s so much more! It lets you see your work from a whole new angle (literally). A handheld mirror is like having an extra pair of eyes and gives you a clear view of your client's lashes from all angles to help you spot tiny imperfections like stickies, ensuring precision and perfection every time.
How to Use: Hold it at different angles to get a comprehensive view of your client's lashes. It's especially handy for checking the symmetry and overall look of the lash set.

Digital Hygrometer & Thermometer
You might not have realised it, but the conditions in your beauty room can have a big impact on the performance of your eyelash extension glue. Creating the perfect environment in your lash salon is key to achieving long-lasting results for your clients’ lash extensions. Humidity and temperature play a significant role, and a Hygrometer is a handy gadget that helps you keep track of them. It will monitor the temperature and humidity levels in your workspace, ensuring optimal conditions for your eyelash glue to cure properly as well as keeping your clients comfortable.
How to Use: Simply place it on your lash trolly and monitor the readings. Adjust your environment accordingly for optimal lash application conditions.
Why You Need It: Consistency is key when it comes to eyelash extensions, and maintaining the right environment ensures your lash glue behaves predictably.
Agate Lash Glue Stones
Tired of your lash glue drying out mid-application? Agate Stones not only look stylish on your lash trolly, but also help keep your eyelash glue cool and fresh for longer, and at the perfect consistency, giving you more time to work your lash magic without interruptions!
How to Use: Apply a small amount of lash glue onto the stone and work from there. The cool surface helps slow down the eyelash glue's drying time, giving you more control.
Why You Need It: Because precision matters, and a clean, controlled lash glue application is essential for flawless lash extensions.
Tweezer Storage Solutions
Tired of misplacing your precious lash tweezers? You've probably lost count of how many times you've misplaced your eyelash tweezers mid-application. With storage solutions like a Tweezer Holder or a Magnetic Tweezer Case, you can say goodbye to the endless search party. Save yourself time and frustration during appointments by keeping your lash tools organised, easily accessible, and protected from dust and damage.

If you’ve recently completed your lash course for Russian Volume Lashes and are still finding it a little trick to create the ‘perfect’ lash fan, then this product is for you! Practice makes perfect, and a Reusable Silicone Lash Pad is the perfect lash tool to practise on. The sticky silicone surface helps you create lash fans easily and quickly by allowing the fans to just open up!
How to Use: With your lash tweezers, pick and remove the plastic film to reveal the sticky pad underneath, start creating your Volume lash fans using your preferred fanning method, and voila! The Silicone Lash Pad is reusable for up to 15 applications, so make sure to wash it with soap and water after every use.
Why You Need It: Time is money, so the quicker and easier you can create your lash fans, the less time you’ll have to spend fiddling about with them during your appointments, and can instead fit another client into your schedule with all the time you’ve saved!
Foam Lash Tape
Last but certainly not least, let's talk about Foam Tape. This unsung hero is perfect for securing lower lashes during application, ensuring they stay out of harm's way and your work stays flawless. Plus, it's gentle on the skin, won’t leave any sticky residue behind, and is secure enough to keep those bottom lashes in place without causing discomfort to your clients.
How to Use: Apply the Foam Tape over the lower lashes before applying the eyelash extensions to isolate and protect them.
Why You Need It: Because the last thing you want is your client squirming due to discomfort. Foam Tape ensures a smooth and comfortable experience for both you and your client.
