Remember, this step-by-step program provides a general overview of the training process for eyelash extensions.

During the lash extension process, several common issues can arise. Here are some of them along with possible resolutions:

1. Adhesive Allergies or Sensitivities:
- Issue: Some clients may develop an allergic reaction or sensitivity to the lash adhesive.
- Resolution: Conduct a thorough client consultation to identify any allergies or sensitivities beforehand. Perform a patch test to check for any adverse reactions. If an allergic reaction occurs, remove the lash extensions immediately and recommend appropriate medical attention.

2. Premature Lash Extension Loss:
- Issue: Lash extensions may fall off prematurely, leading to an uneven and shorter lifespan.
- Resolution: Ensure proper isolation of natural lashes during the application process to prevent lashes from sticking together. Use the correct lash length, thickness, and curl that are suitable for the client's natural lashes. Educate clients on proper aftercare practices, such as avoiding oil-based products and excessive rubbing of the eyes.

3. Lash Sticking:
- Issue: Lash extensions may stick together, resulting in clumpy and unnatural-looking lashes.
- Resolution: Ensure proper separation and isolation of each natural lash before applying extensions. Use the appropriate amount of adhesive to prevent excessive sticking. Comb through the lashes after application to separate any lashes that may have stuck together.

4. Lash Adhesive Drying Too Slow or Too Fast:
- Issue: The lash adhesive may dry too slowly, causing lashes to move out of place, or it may dry too quickly, making it challenging to adjust the lash placement.
- Resolution: Monitor the humidity and temperature in your lash extension workspace to create an optimal environment for adhesive curing. Use a lash adhesive with an appropriate drying time for your skill level and the desired lash application technique. Work in small sections to ensure the adhesive does not dry before placing the lash extensions.

5. Lash Retention Issues:
- Issue: Lash extensions may not adhere properly or have poor retention, causing them to fall off quickly.
- Resolution: Ensure proper cleansing and preparation of natural lashes before application. Use a primer or lash cleanser to remove any oils or residues that may affect adhesive bonding. Check the humidity levels in your workspace, as low humidity can cause poor adhesive curing. Use high-quality adhesive and follow the manufacturer's recommended guidelines for optimal retention.

Remember, if you encounter any issues during the lash extension process that you are unsure how to resolve, it's essential to consult with an experienced lash technician or seek guidance from a reputable lash extension training provider like us.
