Elleebana Advanced Processing Times
ADVANCED PROCESSING TIMES
Leaving lotions on for too long can split and or frizz the lashes. This might not happen immediately but the lashes will begin to show signs of damage after a period of time (it might be only a few hours up to 24 hours later or it might be a week or two later).
Assessing a client’s lash strength might not always be determined by sight alone – you may notice that the lashes are more resistance to rolling back onto the rod and this might give you an indication that they have a stronger lash core. They might have identified to you that when they curl the hair on their head it drops quickly and this might give you some other indicators that they have stronger lashes.
Equally they might have mentioned that their hair is incredibly fine or holds a curl very well, this might indicate a finer hair structure and a faster processing time is required.
The general rule of thumb for first time clients when using Elleebana products will be processed with step 1 (lifting lotion) with 6 minutes and step 2 (setting lotion) with 5 minutes. This processing time will work for a large majority of your client base and is a good processing time to begin with if you have clients with medium to strong visually appearing lashes.
SHORT PROCESSING TIMES - A client’s ethnicity or heritage can sometimes indicate either a shorter or longer processing time. Other more visual lash conditions/health can be apparent just by looking at the lashes. For a fine lash that is thin, sparse or lighter in colour or for ethnicities whose lash strength is naturally softer or finer you will need to decrease your first time processing time. In some cases dropping the processing time for step 1 (lifting lotion) down to 4 minutes and step 2 (setting lotion) with 3 minutes – these processing times can still achieve amazing results on clients with lashes that require this reduced processing time. Some processing time options for visually thinner or weaker natural lash conditions are:
|
LIFT: 3 mins SET: 2 mins this is not a common processing time for many clients |
|
LIFT: 4 mins SET: 3 mins |
|
LIFT: 5 mins SET: 4 mins |
AVERAGE PROCESSING TIMES This is the larger percentage of clientele that we see and find these processing times are often the go to times for lifting clients who have average lash strength, thickness, density and those whose lashes lift easily. At this stage we can increase the step 1 processing time (lifting lotion) but the setting time must remain at 5 mins.
|
LIFT: 6 mins SET: 5 mins used for majority of all first time and returning clients |
|
LIFT: 7 mins SET: 5 mins may be used on clients who return after their first lift and they feel their lift wasn’t enough (alternatively you can decrease your rod size) |
EXTENDED PROCESSING TIMES In the case that a client’s lashes are stronger than average and you have attempted to process at 6 mins and 5 mins to find that their lashes didn’t lift enough you can in your next appointment increase your lifting time by 1 minute at a time. The setting time (step 2) must remain at 5 mins until the lifting lotion processing time has been maximized:
| LIFT: 7 mins SET: 5 mins |
| LIFT: 8 mins SET: 5 mins |
|
LIFT: 9 mins SET: 5 mins this is a very rare required processing time |
|
LIFT: 10 mins SET: 5 mins this is an extremely rare required processing time |
Only after all of these attempts and appointments would you then increase the setting lotion to 6 mins.
SAME APPOINTMENT RE-LIFT PROCESSING TIMES In the case that you have performed the lash lift on a client and the lift has not taken in the way you or your client would have liked you are able to re-lift your client’s lashes again in that same appointment, however, your processing time must be decreased by half or less the processing time.
NOT ENOUGH OF A LIFT If for instance if you lifted a client’s lashes for 6 mins and 5 mins, you have completely dried the lashes and assessed them and there was some visible lift but just not enough of a result you would reprocess the lashes again for 2 mins for lifting and 2 mins for setting.
NO VISIBILE LIFT AT ALL In the case that your client’s lashes after lifting for 6 mins and 5 mins and you have assessed the dried state of the lashes and there is no visible lift you may proceed with re-lifting the lashes again for 3mins and 2.5mins
If the client has left the salon and time has past since the treatment (at least 24 hours) you would need to consider the result and the condition of the client’s lashes before you choose the processing time that you wish to use.
