What is the primary role of a client consultation in eyelash extensions?

The primary role of a client consultation in eyelash extensions is to assess the client’s lash needs and health. This step is crucial because it helps the technician understand the client's expectations, any previous experiences they may have had with lash extensions, and any concerns they might raise regarding their natural lashes and eye health.

During the consultation, the technician evaluates the condition of the client's natural lashes and eyelid health, which is essential for determining the appropriate type of extensions to use, the adhesive that should be applied, and the length and volume that would be suitable for the client's individual style while maintaining lash health. This careful assessment ensures both the beauty and safety of the lash application, as not all clients may be suitable candidates for certain types of extensions.

While promoting new products, scheduling return visits, and selling aftercare products might be part of the overall client experience, they are secondary to the foundational step of understanding and assessing the client’s unique needs and health concerning eyelash extensions.
