4 essential tips for setting up your eyelash extensions treatment room
What do you need to set up a successful lash extensions business?
You create beautiful sets of eyelash extensions, mastered your technique and now you want to design a comfortable and professional workspace for your clients. Whether you’re starting out or refreshing your space, setting up your eyelash extensions treatment room can make a huge difference in both your and your clients’ experience. Your workspace is likely to become your second home, so it’s important to make it functional and pleasant.
Choosing your location
When deciding on the location for your treatment room, think of its surroundings. Sharing your space with hairdressers or nail stylists may seem convenient, but the fumes from hair dyes (containing ammonia) or nail acrylics could interfere with your eyelash glue bonding process. Choose a space free from other treatments that involve strong chemicals to make sure the best and long lasting results for your clients.
Choosing the best treatment bed
Comfort is important for both you and your client. The right treatment bed should be adjustable to match your posture while seated. If the bed is too high or low, you could end up with back pain over time. Electric beauty couches are an excellent option as they can be adjusted easily during treatments. If you’re on a budget, portable massage beds are a more affordable alternative. These beds have adjustable heights and, with added padding or a heated blanket, can be made cozy and comfortable for your clients.
Invest in a comfortable chair or stool
Your chair is where you’ll spend a lot of time, so choose wisely. A swivel chair with a backrest and adjustable height will support long hours of work. For better posture and spinal alignment, a saddle stool is ideal. It encourages you to sit upright, which reduces back strain and helps prevent discomfort during longer sessions.
Proper lighting for your workspace
Good lighting is very important to perform detailed work on lashes. The best option is a white or daylight LED light, which gives clear, focused illumination. You can choose from various types, such as ring lights or panel LED lights, depending on your setup. It’s helpful to position your lighting away from windows to avoid inconsistent brightness. If possible, place your bed near a window to take advantage of natural light.
