Eyelash enhancement between private individuals: What you need to know

Summer is coming, and the desire to have beautiful eyelashes without doing anything and still look natural is taking hold. Eyelash enhancement is a hit when the good weather and holidays arrive, but it comes at a price. As we all know, this kind of service is a luxury, and the higher the qualification, the higher the price. That's why there are so many services available to you today, via social networks. Many technicians offer their services on Instagram at more or less affordable prices. But be warned: many of the real technicians with real training have absolutely nothing to show for it. More and more women are claiming to be trained, but in reality they're just looking to make easy money by ripping off their customers, since they only get their inspiration from simple tutorials... All offers at really low prices are very likely to be scams.

Looking for easy money

Eyelash enhancement scams are on the increase, because they are more than profitable for these so-called "technicians" who have no training whatsoever. Many women are looking for the best deal on social networks and at the best possible price. What could be better for these crooks? They try to make as much money as possible by offering a multitude of services at prices slightly below the norm in order to attract as many women as possible.

A service that can do damage

Don't forget that eyelashes are a living thing, and incorrect application can really damage them. Lashes can fall out, become damaged or look very unattractive. These fake technicians don't always have professional equipment and the products used may be unsuitable, toxic or very badly used. Eyelash enhancements can be botched because the lashes have not been properly cleaned before the operation. Residues (dust, sebum, etc.) on the lashes can form a barrier and prevent the penetration of products for a successful curl. This is a very common occurrence, as most people have had no training and don't know how to use each product.

A botched enhancement can lead to itching, irritation, lashes falling out or becoming brittle.

Correcting a botched eyelash enhancement

To reduce curl, you can apply mascara or moisturising lotions all over your lashes. This will relax the curls and give a more natural look. If, after this operation, the result is still not as desired, the lashes should be removed with an oily-textured make-up remover.

This will help remove the stains from the products used to raise the surface. Make sure you rub well to remove even the toughest residue. Once the products have been removed, the lashes will return to their normal shape. You will then need to repeat the facelift, making sure to follow all the steps correctly. The most important thing is to use the services of a truly trained person.

Find out more about the technician

It's important to check who we leave our eyelash care with. To do this, you can contact previous customers to get feedback on the service. Then, when you make your appointment, don't hesitate to ask questions about the enhancement process and the choice of products used, so that you can best assess her level of expertise.

Secure your booking and payment for the service

Finally, use Obvy to book the time slot. With Obvy, the technician won't be paid until the end of the service, so if the work isn't up to scratch you'll have a way to turn around and avoid losing everything. On Obvy, your money is secure until the transaction is completed, and all transactions are tracked.
