How To Prevent Hand And Wrist Pain - For The Lash Extension Artist 

READ OUR OTHER BLOGS ON KEEPING OURSELVES SAFE HERE 

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor!  I have, however, been working as a lash artist for the past 12 years. It is not unusual for me to see 10 clients in a day, sometimes 6 days a week. If you work as much as I do, you are familiar with the pains that can occur from sitting in a stool all day and working with repetitive movements for hours on end. These are the techniques I utilize and teach to my students to prevent and help with wrist and hand pain. 

My pain really became worse around the time when I was pregnant and had my babies. Hormonal changes can effect us in weird ways. Luckily I have a client who just happens to be a well recognized Orthopedic Surgeon and Specialist. So with her suggestions, and not having the luxury of being able to stop lashing, I have learned to cope, heal and prevent. 

Here are a few tips and tricks I have learned over the years to save my wrists, and hands.

Here at LAshX we receive a lot of questions from lash artists when their clients have retention issues. Artists want to know how to trouble shoot, and what to say to a client that may not be caring for the lashes properly at home. I wanted to provide a sample email you can cut and paste and alter when you get these kinds of questions or complaints.  I also do the trouble shoot verbally when clients come in and have a retention concern. 

 This email response is a real response, to a client that came into my salon, Makeup Mandy. Names have been changed. I sent this response to a client who was travelling and came into my salon for a mini touchup.  She had responded to a feedback request that she loved the salon but her lashes didn't last and she was very disappointed. My goal when discussing retention issues, or trouble shooting with clients is not to place blame on them, but rather to help them discover what is going wrong so we can fix the issue and get them the 6-8 week hold time that they would like.

I thought I would do a blog for the #MomPrenuers out there, being that it’s almost Mother’s Day.  People are always asking about how I balance, err juggle being a mom of two boys and running two businesses (www.lashx.pro, www.lashx.shop and www.MakeupMandy.com ). Truthfully, some days I feel like I can conquer the world and others I feel like i'm failing at everything. Its really really hard.
