Lash extensions have shaped the beauty world and new ways to improve this salon favorite are always being created. One of the latest must-haves for any successful lash artist is a pre made fan. But what exactly are they and how are they applied?
We bring you the ultimate guide to pre made fan lashes below:
What Are Pre Made Lash Fans?
Instead of the traditional individual lash extensions, these are small clusters of lashes, bound together to create a ‘fan. They are also known as premade volume fans or pro-made lashes.
They are ready for the adhesive to be applied and can drastically reduce appointment times for clients and artists.
Why Choose Pre Made Lash Fans?
They reduce the time taken for lash applications; not only does this give great results to clients in a fraction of the time, but it also provides a way for an artist to generate more revenue.
The faster appointments are, the more that can be fit into the working day!
Lash artists could make these fans themselves before appointments and evening in their own time in the evening to speed things up during working hours, but as you never know exactly what a client is wanting or their eye shape, you could end up not making the right ones anyway!
While in training, all lash artists want to be able to start working on clients as soon as possible. As premade fan lashes are quicker and easier to apply, artists who are still in training can start to earn some cash by using these on clients.
It’s true, premade fan lashes can cost more than their individual counterparts, however, being able to see more clients while still providing great results can result in a lot more weekly takings.
They come in a huge variety of styles, from dramatic Hollywood glam with long stems, to subtle natural results with short stems and everything in between! You can even achieve the incredibly popular ‘fluffy lashes’ with premade lash fans.
Why Shouldn’t You Choose Pre Made Lash Fans?
There are very few products in the world that only have pros, thankfully there aren’t many cons of premade lash fans though.
They are available in many different styles to suit every eye shape and style. However, it is unlikely that every lash artist will have the resources to always have every single style in stock at all times.
This can lead to clients not being able to have the exact desired look they wanted, or artists having to try and make new fans themself during the appointment.
Premade fan lashes are also tricker to apply to the natural lashes, if not done correctly, this can lead to them falling out prematurely and clients being unhappy with the quality.
Are Pre Made Fan Lashes Safe?
Yes, they are! Providing they are being applied by an artist who is properly trained., using quality tools and glue.
Some wearers have reported damage to their natural lash from premade fan lashes, however, the reason for this is due to lash artist errors such as applying them too close to the lid, not properly isolating the lashes, or just not paying close enough attention.
Using L-shaped tweezers will help to properly isolate lashes and apply premade lash fans.
By using these fan lashes, your clients can receive some of the best lash extension results out there, but without it taking upwards of three hours. With the right knowledge, tools, and care, these last for weeks, and clients will soon be singing your praises to their friends and family, leading to more bookings!
