This very particular kind of relationship is a special one, so how do you find the perfect lash technician?

If you’re new to the world of lash treatments or you don’t have a regular / perfect lash technician just yet, you may be wondering where to start. Just like a hairdresser, it’s important that the person you trust with your eyelashes is professional, skilled and talented.

On the search for your perfect lash technician? Here are some traits to look out for.

They will be happy to show off their work

All good lash technicians love to show off their work, whether it’s an LVL treatment or individual eyelash extensions. If their website, Instagram or Facebook page is filled with amazing photographs of work that they’ve done, you can be assured that they know what they’re doing and they’re confident in showing that off.

They ask you to come in for a patch test before your treatment

If you’ve booked yourself in for an LVL treatment, then a good lash technician will always ask you to come in for a patch test beforehand. Some techs will ask you to come in for a patch test before using certain adhesives; it’s all about safety first for the perfect lash technician.

They listen to your needs

A good lash technician will listen to you and help you choose the right look for you by asking questions and explaining your different options. Whether you want a dramatic look for a night out, a natural everyday look or you’re a bride-to-be wanting a trial, a great lash technician will go out of their way to give you the eyelashes you’ve always wanted.

They won’t be ‘cheap’

Hear us out here. The cost of eyelash treatments will differ depending on your area and the particular salon, but beware of ultra-low costs. A good lash technician will charge you an appropriate amount due to the high quality of their work and the time that it takes; if a price seems too good to be true, it probably is, and it’s not worth risking your eyelashes to save a few pounds.

They can show you their qualifications

All trained Nouveau Lashes technicians will have a certificate of achievement that they will be happy to show you if asked. We include all of our trained Nouveau Lashes technicians in our Salon Finder so you can find a qualified tech near you, safe in the knowledge that they’re part of the #UltimateLashBrand.
