If you’re a client who wants to get their lashes filled on top of another lash artists work and you don’t understand why the lash artist doesn’t accept foreign refills, these are some reasons why: They don’t want to be held liable for a client that has a reaction after doing their refill not knowing if it was from their work or the previous lash technician’s work. They don’t want to work on lashes that could possibly not be isolated properly, have too much glue on them, or even just not done the right way. They don’t want to use different lash materials/ brands on the foreign refill client, knowing that it won’t be the same as they have on from the previous lash technician. They want their work to be fully theirs because after getting extensions your are a walking advertisement for that lash technician and they want their work to stand out and look good without it being misunderstood for someone else’s work.
Why lash artists don’t accept foreign refills: Learn the reasons behind this common policy and how it affects your lash health and beauty.
Foreign refills are when a client wants to get their lashes filled on top of another lash artist’s work. This can cause several problems for both the client and the lash artist, such as:
- Liability issues: The lash artist doesn’t know if the client has a reaction to their glue or lashes, and they don’t want to be blamed for something that was not their fault. They also don’t want to risk damaging the client’s natural lashes or eyes by working on top of someone else’s work.
- Quality issues: The lash artist doesn’t know if the previous work was done properly, with good isolation, lash weight, and glue amount. They don’t want to work on lashes that are clumpy, twisted, or too heavy for the natural lashes. They also don’t want to mix different lash materials or brands, which can affect the look and feel of the lashes.
- Reputation issues: The lash artist wants their work to be fully theirs, because they take pride in their skills and style. They don’t want their work to be confused with someone else’s work, especially if it is not up to their standards. They also want their clients to be happy with their results, and they can’t guarantee that if they do a foreign refill.
