For beginners, consider:

• A pair designed for classic application, with tips that hold lashes securely
• Tweezers that feel balanced and comfortable in your hand, reducing fatigue
• A reliable grip that helps minimize slipping or dropping extensions

High-quality tweezers help you isolate and place every extension with confidence, transforming your technique faster than almost any other tool in your kit.

Your lash glue is the backbone of every lash set. But for beginners, it’s not just about choosing the strongest.
A beginner-friendly adhesive should:

• Have a balanced drying time that allows you to place each extension without rushing
  
• Form a strong, flexible bond that can withstand facial movement, humidity, and daily wear
  
• Reduce excessive fumes and irritation during long sessions

A dependable adhesive doesn’t just improve retention. It gives you breathing room to learn and grow, especially during those first thousand lash placements.

Selecting your lash trays wisely makes creating beautiful lash sets easier and more predictable.
For beginners, it’s best to start with:

• Classic lash trays in mixed lengths. Because they’re flexible and beginner-friendly
  
• Popular diameter ranges. They strike a balance between durability and comfort
  
• Varied curls that appeal to most clients and help you practice different styles
  

Using consistent, professional-grade lashes gives you a stable foundation to improve your application — and keeps your clients returning for more.

One of the smartest investments a beginner can make is a practice mannequin head.
Here’s why:

• It lets you practice isolation, placement, and spacing without pressure
  
• You can repeat scenarios over and over until muscle memory develops
  
• It accelerates learning techniques before working on live clients
  

Many new artists underestimate how quickly their skills improve once they start practicing with a model.
