When it comes to eyelash extensions, proper sanitation of eyelash extension tools is necessary in order to keep both the client and the artist safe from potential infections or illnesses. This article will provide an overview of how to clean and disinfect eyelash extension tweezers, glue, lashes, and other supplies to keep your lash salon clean.
Keep Your Lash Salon Clean
The first step in keeping your lash salon clean is to have proper cleaning supplies on hand at all times. It is important to have separate cleaning solutions for each type of tool used during an eyelash extension application – tweezers, lashes, glue, etc. You should also make sure that all surfaces are wiped down with a disinfectant solution between clients to ensure that any bacteria or germs left behind by the previous client are removed before starting with a new one. Finally, it is important to use gloves when handling any products related to eyelash extensions to avoid spreading germs from one client’s face or eyes to another’s.
Disinfecting and Sterilizing Your Lash Extension Tools
It is essential for lash artists and salons to properly disinfect their tools after every use to prevent cross-contamination between clients. Disinfectants such as Barbicide can be used on most surfaces but should never be used directly on the skin or eyes as this can cause irritation or infection. To sterilize tweezers specifically, they should be submerged in either boiling water (for stainless steel tweezers) or rubbing alcohol (for metal-plated ones) as you learned in our eyelash extension course. After sterilizing them, it’s important to dry them completely before storing them away for future use. This helps prevent rusting, which could potentially contaminate future applications if not taken care of properly. Additionally, if you find yourself needing additional protection against cross-contamination, using disposable gloves may also be beneficial when working with multiple clients during a single day’s work shift. These gloves help reduce direct contact between different people while still providing the same level of sanitation desired by professionals who want only the best results for their customers.
How To Clean Eyelash Extension Tools
Once the tools have been disinfected and sterilized, it is important to keep them clean on a daily basis. This can be done by using a lint-free cloth or paper towel with warm soapy water and wiping down the tweezers, glue, lashes, and other supplies. After cleaning them, make sure to dry them thoroughly before storing them away for future use. Additionally, if you find that your tweezers are not as sharp as they used to be, then it may be time for a replacement. Dull tweezers can lead to an uneven application of eyelash extensions, which could cause irritation or infection in clients.
Storing Your Lash Extension Tools
It is also important to store your lash extension tools properly to keep them clean and safe from any potential contamination. It is best practice to store all of your supplies separately. This means keeping your lash extensions away from your glue, tweezers away from other metal objects (such as scissors), etc. Additionally, always ensure that you close the lid on any product containers when not in use so that dust does not settle inside them. Finally, if possible, try to store all of these items out of direct sunlight. This will help prevent fading or discoloration, which could affect the quality of the eyelash extensions themselves.
