Consultation & eligibility

1. Greet the guest by first name and introduce yourself.
2. Confirm no contraindications: chemotherapy, or Lasik or other eye surgery in the last 6 months. Ask about sensitivities like watering or irritation.
3. Assess lash health. If lashes are brittle, thin, sparse or damaged, do not proceed. Recommend a conditioning treatment or growth serum, and invite the guest back once lashes recover.
4. If unsure, ask the most senior artist available.
5. Confirm the service, product (One Shot or Profusion), mold, tint color, and top and bottom tint.
6. Set expectations: 45 to 60 minutes, eyes fully closed, no pain. A tightening feeling is the adhesive setting; a slight itch can be normal while tint sits. No steam, heat or humidity for 24 hours.

Prep the eye area

1. Cleanse with foam cleanser and a brush. Rinse with water and dry fully.
2. Place under-eye pads 1 to 2 mm below the waterline and tape any exposed lower lashes.
3. Tape the upper lid toward the brow bone so lashes are not trapped under the rod.
4. Check that no white of the eye is visible. Use a dental mirror and stand if needed.
5. Check in on comfort before moving on.

Mold & styling

1. Try on molds at the lash line. Lashes should reach half to three-quarters of the mold, never past it.
2. Place the mold as close to the lash line as possible. Shields need a thin coat of adhesive; flex rods usually do not.
3. Working outer to inner corner in small sections, apply adhesive and lift lashes onto the mold with a y-comb and isolator.
4. Separate every lash. Repeat on the second eye.

Step 1 · lift

1. One Shot: pat on from root to midpoint. Never on the lash ends.
2. Profusion: apply from the base, avoiding the waterline, to three-quarters of the lash.
3. Wrap with film if lashes pop off the mold.
4. When the timer ends, lashes should be soft and molded. A peeled lash should bend into a V, not a U. If not lifted, process one more minute.
5. Remove: One Shot with alternating damp and dry swabs; Profusion with dry swabs.

Step 2 · set

1. With a clean microbrush, pat on from about 1 mm above the root to two-thirds of the lash, avoiding the tips.
2. A peeled lash that springs back into its curl is ready.
3. Remove the same way as step 1.

Tint

1. Mix tint just before use. Belmacil 2:1 tint to developer; BBL 1:3.
2. Apply barrier cream to protect the skin.
3. Remove the lower pads and tape. Tint lower lashes with eyes open looking up, then have the guest close.
4. With the mold in place, coat upper lashes root to tip.
5. Process 3 to 5 minutes, then remove with dry and damp swabs in an upward motion.

Finish & reveal

1. Apply Elleeplex ReGen to the top lashes for 1 to 3 minutes to recondition and release them from the mold.
2. Remove the mold with a damp swab, wiggling gently without pulling the lid. Clear any adhesive.
3. Rinse with a damp cotton round so no product remains. Remove tint from the skin with tint remover.
4. Dry with a fan, brush with a spoolie, and reveal in the mirror.

Aftercare

1. Keep lashes dry and product-free for 24 hours. No steam, saunas, spas, workouts or boiling water.
2. Results last 6 to 8 weeks with the lash cycle. Rebook when new straight lashes grow in.
3. Suggested home care: Elleeplex Aftercare, Elleevate Lash Lift Mascara, Elleeplex Hyaluronic Boost Serum, lash shampoo.

Clean up & notes

1. Disinfect surfaces and tools and replace exam paper.
2. Record rod or shield, size, product, step 1 and step 2 times, any wrapping, and any new allergies or sensitivities.
