Troubleshooting Common Elleebana Lash Lift Mistakes

Elleebana lash lifts have become a staple in salons worldwide due to their speed and stunning results. Clients love the low maintenance look these lifts provide, which makes them a lucrative service for beauty professionals.

However, achieving consistent perfection requires precise technique and attention to detail. Even experienced technicians encounter challenges, but understanding common pitfalls helps ensure every client leaves happy. Here are some tips for troubleshooting common Elleebana lash lift mistakes.

Overprocessing the Lashes

Overprocessing creates frizzy, “corkscrew” lashes that look damaged and messy. This usually happens when you leave the lifting lotion on for too long or apply it to the tips of the lashes. Always adhere strictly to the recommended processing times based on the client’s lash texture and health.

Apply the lotion only from 1mm above the lash line up to the apex of the rod/shield avoiding the delicate tips unless you are using the Elleeplex Profusion system. If overprocessing occurs, you can use the Elleeplex ReGen or Elleeplex Aftercare to restore moisture. To avoid overprocessing altogether, implement lash flex and set checks.

Incorrect Rod Size Selection

Choosing the wrong rod size significantly impacts the final curl. A rod that is too small for long lashes creates an overly tight curl that hits the eyelid, while a rod that is too large for short lashes results in a underwhelming lift.

Analyze the client’s natural lash length carefully before starting. The lashes should wrap around the rod comfortably, with the tips extending just past the middle of the rod’s curve.

Improper Lash Placement on the Rod

Lashes must sit straight and parallel on the rod to ensure a clean, uniform lift. If lashes cross over each other or clump together during placement, they will remain set in that position. Also avoid flipping the lid as this will create a very underwhelming lash lift.

Use your Elleebana Precision Lifter tool to separate and straighten every lash before applying the lifting solution. Taking extra time during this step prevents messy results and ensures a professional finish.

Not Using Enough Adhesive

Adhesive secures the lashes to the rod and ensures they remain in the correct position throughout the treatment. Using too little glue causes lashes to detach from the rod mid-process, leading to an uneven or non-existent lift. Apply sufficient adhesive to keep lashes firmly anchored, working in small sections to prevent the glue from drying too quickly but avoid using too much adhesive as it will create a barrier and prevent the lash lotions from processing properly.

Issues with the Solutions

The efficacy of your lifting and setting lotions directly affects the outcome. Expired or improperly stored solutions lose their potency, resulting in a lift that drops quickly or fails to take.

Store your products in a cool, dry place between 39.2 and 75.2 degrees Fahrenheit away from direct sunlight and always check expiration dates. Use sachet packets immediately upon opening to ensure the ingredients remain active and effective.

Mastering the Technique

Consistent practice and proper training are the keys to mastering the Elleebana lash lift. By avoiding or troubleshooting these common Elleebana lash lift errors, you can provide superior results that keep clients returning. Success lies in the details, from the initial consultation to the final conditioning step.
