Lash Kit Essentials: Lash Extensions & Accessories

We’re always mentioning our bestsellers or describing certain products as lash kit staples, but what makes these products essential? To help you understand more about the products that consistently find their way into the kits of Lash Technicians worldwide, we’ve rounded up some of our favourites. Here’s an introduction to the different types of eyelash extensions we supply and the essential products worth adding to your professional lash kit.

Classic Lashes: Chelsea 0.15

Our Mayfair range can be used to create beautiful classic lash sets, but there is a good reason we often choose Chelsea Lashes for individual eyelash extension sets: their semi-matte finish. Clients requesting classic lash extensions often want a subtle, natural-looking result.

Chelsea Lashes, formerly known as Chelsea Silk Lashes, have a semi-matte finish that makes them ideal for creating natural lash sets. Although several thicknesses are available for classic eyelash extensions, 0.15 lashes are a popular choice because they are suitable for many clients.

Clients with particularly fine natural lashes may find 0.15 lashes too heavy. For these clients, consider using Ellipse Flat Lashes, which provide the visual width of a 0.15 lash while weighing approximately half as much.

A 0.15 Chelsea lash creates a full-looking set that is slightly more pronounced than a mascara effect without appearing overly dramatic. To accommodate a broad range of clients, begin with C or CC curls in a mixed-length tray. Once you know which lengths you use most frequently, you can supplement your kit with single-length trays.

Volume Lashes: Mayfair 0.07

Since launching in 2018, our Mayfair Lashes have become a favourite among Lash Technicians worldwide. As Chelsea’s bolder and shinier counterpart, the 0.07 thickness has remained a bestseller since its introduction.

Mayfair 0.07 volume lashes are suitable for creating 2D to 5D lash fans, making them an essential choice for Lash Technicians offering volume treatments. They also pair well with 0.15 classic lashes when creating hybrid lash sets.

The Mayfair range includes a wide selection of curls, including M curl lashes for dramatic Fox Eye styles. For many clients, C and CC curls in mixed-length trays provide a versatile starting point. Once you know which lengths you use most frequently, you can add the appropriate single-length trays to your kit.

If you love Mayfair Lashes but do not have time to create every fan by hand, our Premade Volume Fans are made from the same fibre as the Mayfair range.

Multifunctional Tweezers

Choosing the right lash tweezers depends on your technique, preferred tip and the angle that feels most comfortable for your hand and wrist.

Multifunctional Tweezers are a versatile addition to any professional lash kit. They can be used to isolate natural lashes, pick up classic extensions, separate stickies, create quick 2D fans and handle Easy Fanning Lashes or Premade Fans. They also make an excellent backup pair in case another pair is dropped or damaged.

If you need additional grip, explore our Fiber Tip Tweezers collection.

Glue Shaker

A Glue Shaker may initially seem like an optional accessory, but it can quickly become an essential part of your lash kit. Eyelash adhesive must be properly mixed to perform consistently. If an adhesive has not been shaken thoroughly, it may appear grey rather than black when dispensed, indicating that its ingredients have not been mixed correctly.

Shaking adhesive by hand can be time-consuming and may force glue into the nozzle and lid. This can cause the cap to become stuck or result in adhesive leaking onto your tools, workstation or clothing.

A Glue Shaker uses centrifugal force to mix the adhesive thoroughly while helping to keep the product away from the nozzle. This produces a more consistent mixture while reducing the time and effort required to prepare your adhesive.
