HANDMADE OR PRE-MADE: HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST TYPE OF BOUQUETS FOR YOUR EYELASH EXTENSIONS?
In the world of eyelash extensions, the choice between handmade and pre-made bundles is a hotly debated topic. If you're an eyelash extension technician, you may have strong preferences. In the past, pre-made bundles were often associated with heavy clusters that didn't fit well with natural lashes. Fortunately, times have changed! Let's take a look at the pros and cons of each option to help you choose the one that best suits your clients' needs and your work style.
RUSSIAN VOLUME EYELASH BOUQUETS: AN OVERVIEW
Volume eyelash clusters consist of several very fine extensions applied to a single natural lash, creating a voluminous and light effect. These clusters allow you to achieve a variety of looks, from the most subtle to the most glamorous. To meet your clients' expectations, Maison Regard offers a range of clusters adapted to each style and body shape.
HANDMADE BOUQUETS: CUSTOM-MADE PRECISION
Handmade bouquets are created directly by the technician during the session, based on the desired style and the client's body shape. This technique allows for extensive customization: whether it's an airy, voluminous, or textured effect, handmade bouquets adapt perfectly to each client's wishes.
Benefits of Handmade Bouquets
- Total customization : With this technique, you can adjust each bouquet to precisely match the style desired by the client.
- Adaptation to the nature of the eyelashes : The handmade bouquets allow the weight and thickness of the extensions to be adapted according to the health and density of the natural eyelashes.
However, this technique requires time and experience. For beginners, mastering bouquet creation can be intimidating, as precision is essential to avoid any discomfort for the client. Training and practice are essential to master the art of handmade bouquets and ensure optimal results.
Disadvantages of Handmade Bouquets
- Longer application time : Creating bouquets by hand takes longer than applying pre-made bouquets.
- Technical Requirement : Creating bouquets requires regular practice and can be tedious for novice technicians.
PRE-MADE BOUQUETS: SPEED AND EFFICIENCY
Maison Regard's pre-made clusters are carefully crafted to ensure lightness, uniformity, and comfort. Unlike older versions, our pre-made clusters are soft and respect the health of natural lashes. They are handcrafted to offer optimal quality while saving you precious time during application.
Advantages of pre-made bouquets
- Time saving : Pre-made bouquets allow for quick application, ideal for technicians with busy appointments or for clients wanting a faster application.
- Uniformity of bouquets : Thanks to their meticulous manufacturing, the pre-made bouquets offer a regularity which guarantees a homogeneous and neat result.
Pre-made clusters are particularly suitable for beginner technicians, as they simplify the application process. Although pre-made, these clusters remain lightweight and flexible, providing a natural and gentle look.
Disadvantages of pre-made bouquets
- Less customization : Pre-made bouquets, while convenient, don't allow for the same adaptability as handmade bouquets. For example, for specific looks like wet effects or a light and airy style, it may be more advantageous to create custom bouquets.
- Limited adaptation to natural lashes : Although Maison Regard's pre-made clusters are designed to be safe and lightweight, their weight and volume are pre-determined, which offers less customization depending on the nature of the lashes.
IN SUMMARY: THE BEST CHOICE DEPENDS ON YOUR NEEDS AND THOSE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS
So, handmade or pre-made bouquets? The choice depends on your expertise, your clients' expectations, and the time you can dedicate to each session. Handmade bouquets offer unparalleled personalization but require advanced skill. Pre-made bouquets, on the other hand, offer speed and consistency, perfect for technicians with busy schedules or those just starting out.
Helpful Tip : Having a few pre-made Maison Regard bouquets on hand can be very useful for last-minute appointments or for clients in a hurry. It's a practical solution for ensuring a voluminous and even result, even in a limited amount of time.
