This question can be looked at in two different ways...

  1. finding the best eyelash extensions for you could refer to finding the best salon and eyelash technician or

  2. finding the best eyelash extensions for you could mean finding the best set or design for you, for example, classics, volume, hybrid, eyelash extensions for Asians or people who wear glasses etc

both of which we will cover as both will help you to find the best eyelash extensions for you.


 

Everyone wants the best and because of that everyone has different opinions on what makes the best, the best


if you're new to the world of eyelash extensions, chances are, you won't know which set will suit you best


if you've been in the game a long time you may be happy with your usual set without knowing there may be better out there


everyone has different facial features, eye shapes, eye positions, and healthy/unhealthy lashes, so there is no one size fits all


the best way to find the perfect set is to go to the salon and consult with a competent lash technician


an eyelash technician who will asses and recommend the perfect set usually within seconds


seems simple right?

but now the problem is, which salon to choose, and which eyelash technician to choose


eyelash extension salons and technicians are not all created equal


if you google search for...

  • lash extensions near me

  • lashes near me Gold Coast

or something similar, you will be bombarded with options


we'll run through 5 important factors you need to consider when searching for the 'the best lash extensions for you'



 

STEP 1.

How To Find The Best Lash Extensions For You

KNOW WHAT YOU WANT


Why Eyelash Extension

To find your personal preference, you need to know what questions to ask yourself, you need to know what matters to you and what you're trying to achieve when it comes to eyelash extensions...


Why Are You Getting Eyelash Extensions?

  • to look beautiful

  • to save time

  • to grow confidence

  • to be pampered

knowing the answer to these question will help you to consider...


Other Important Eyelash Extension Factors

  • price tag - are you looking for the cheap eyelash extensions?

  • are you a busy boss lady or mom who just wants lashes quickly to save time on the morning and afternoon makeup routine?

  • salons location - how far are you willing to travel to get what you want?

  • the overall look - are you all about the results regardless of the examples above?


so many questions to ask yourself, but one thing you should not overlook is professionalism


professional companies show that they care enough to spend time and money on their image with a nice website or booking system and a professional logo


these businesses won't want to tarnish their reputation by not coming through with the eyelash extension application basics


they're more likely have eyelash extension experience and have good hygiene procedures in place

we realise this is not always the case and the fake it till you make thing is a real thing that you will need to keep an eye on


but these examples will minimise the possibility of finding a less than desirable eyelash extension salon on the Gold Coast


what if we're off with these examples, and the thing you want to know is which are the best eyelash extensions for your facial features and lifestyle?' for example...

  • eyelash extensions for hooded eyes

  • the best eyelash extensions for downturned eyes

  • eyelash extensions for Asian eyes

  • or the best eyelash extensions for people who wear glasses

show your lash tech pics, find examples here or use an online search


just know your natural lashes need to be strong enough to take the extra weight of the thicker, fuller volume sets, and a good lash tech will advise you on a more suitable set if your lashes are not strong enough


the best way to get what you want is to book in and discuss in person with your lash technician


because of our experience the Winkx FX consultation process is fast, we can recommend the perfect lashes for you in seconds more info


and don't worry, there is a beautiful set of eyelash extensions just for you



STEP 2.

How To Find The Best Lash Extensions For You

FIND THE BEST EYELASH TECHNICIAN


when you search 'lash extensions near me' the number of options can be overwhelming


lash extension salons are popping up in the blink of an eye, which can be dangerous if you choose the wrong one


applying lashes is a sub-skill gained when training as a 'beautician' along with make-up, nails, waxing and more


did you know Australian and New Zealand laws do not require lash technicians to hold any specific qualifications?


and because it is not regulated, anyone with or without training can claim to be a lash technician


Not good news if you like seeing things!

the number of lash technicians had doubled in the 4 years leading up to 2020 Covid-19, and in the years following a resurgence of salons is set to emerge along with the number of unskilled lash technicians


check this Gold Coast eyelash extension report from Australia's 9News Network


applying eyelash extensions is a complicated skill not only is delicacy required as the work is so close to the eyes


but an artistic eye for beauty is required to ensure the lashes look natural and flawless


each individual eyelash extension is attached to the natural lashes making the process tedious and precise especially with hand-made fans


Winkx FX owner, founder, and senior lash technician Wiki trained in 2014 as a 'beautician' after trying hair, nail art and waxing she realised her love for lashing and eyebrows


with 8 sisters to practice on, thousands of clients, thousands of hours, years of experience and two lash businesses

  • Winkx FX eyelash extensions Pimpama, Gold Coast Australia

  • The LashRoom Christchurch New Zealand

we can confidently say Wiki knows her s**t


Wiki and Winkx FX has an increasing clientele base and we also apply eyelash extensions to our fellow eyelash technicians from other companies


it could be a good idea to go where the professionals go

Winkx FX Training is where we teach the techniques, procedures and skills necessary to apply beautiful, long, lasting lashes each and every time


as a B2B professional service we provide other salons and lash technicians the initial training and ongoing support with new techniques and industry updates along with refreshers to keep their salon's up to a high-standard


So... Next time you search for lash extensions near me Gold Coast ask your chosen salon if they had been trained by Winkx FX


if so, you'll know you're in good hands

EYELASH EXTENSION SAFETY


safety first... or in this case third


if you're unsure how your skin will react to the chemicals a salon uses ask the eyelash technician for a Patch Test at least 24 hours before getting your full eyelash set


this is a good time to let the lash tech know of any medical conditions or allergies that may affect your lash application


the product used should NEVER come in contact with your skin


but if it does it would be good to know how your skin will react

STEP 4.

How To Find The Best Lash Extensions For You

EYELASH EXTENSION CONSULTATION


as mentioned in step 2 the lash technician will offer suggestions over the phone but will need to see you to get an accurate picture


things the lash tech needs to consider...

  • eye shape

  • deep-set or protruding

  • downturned eyes or upturned

  • wide-set or close-set

  • natural eyelash thickness

  • natural eyelash length

these will determine whether you would best suit a style called cats-eye, dolls-eye or one of the many other styles


and of course your expectations and the look you're going for need to be discussed


ask your eyelash technician questions like...

  • What eyelash extensions should I get

  • Which eyelash extensions are best

  • Which eyelash extensions are best for hooded eyes

  • Are eyelash extensions bad

  • Eyelash extensions for Asian eyes

  • Eyelash extensions with glasses

  • When eyelash extensions fall out

  • How long have you been lashing

and the list goes on...
