Visiting a beautician for the first time can be an exciting but new experience for many young ladies. If you feel curious but nervous, that’s normal. Knowing the right questions to ask before your first lash treatment can help you avoid surprises and walk in with clear expectations.
Which Treatments Suit Me and My Eye Shape?
Ask your lash artist what styles suit your natural lashes and lid shape. Bring a couple of reference photos and ask what they recommend and which styles they can recreate for your features.
Ask how long each option lasts and how much daily effort it needs. If you work out often, swim, or rub your eyes a lot, say so upfront, because these activities can reduce the longevity of your results.
What Ingredients and Products Will You Use?
Ask what adhesive, solutions, and cleansers they use, and whether they use professional-level products. Quality products matter for comfort, consistency, and wear time, especially around sensitive eyes.
Do You Recommend a Patch Test?
Ask if you can do a patch test if you have allergies, sensitive skin, or a history of eye irritation. Many beauticians will recommend always doing a patch test for new clients to avoid irritation or possible reactions to products. Also ask what symptoms should make you contact them right away.
How Do You Handle Hygiene and Sanitation?
Ask how they sanitize tools, prep the eye area, and protect against cross-contamination. A clean setup and clear process should feel obvious the moment you sit down.
What Should I Do Before the Appointment?
Ask what to avoid the day of your service, including eye makeup, oily skincare, and certain lash serums. If you wear contacts, ask if you should switch to glasses during the appointment to avoid irritating your eyes.
What Aftercare Rules Should You Follow?
Ask about showering, workouts, steam, sleeping positions, and which products you should skip. Following your technician’s aftercare guidelines is one of the most important ways to get the most out of your lash lift and other treatments.
Now that you know the questions to ask before your first lash appointment, you can approach your treatment with confidence knowing that you’ve found the best service for you. Enjoy the beautiful results and relaxation that comes with professional beauty services.
