Get To Know the Different Types of Eyelash Extension Tweezers

If you are working in a salon or are a fan of putting on eyelash extensions, you are probably familiar with the different types of tweezers available in the market. There are different types of eyelash extension tweezers and in this article, we will be discussing each of them.

Note that the difference between the different types of tweezers lies in the tip. Since this part of the tweezer picks, selects, and separates the eyelashes, each tweezer tip plays a huge role in the eyelash extension application.

Check out the list below if you want to learn about eyelash extension tweezers and how you can choose the best one that suits your needs.

STRAIGHT TWEEZERS

Intended for picking up eyelash extensions, the straight eyelash tweezers can be easily distinguished for their long and skinny design with a sharp point at the end. Both pointed tips of this tweezer are designed to give the tightest grip possible so need not worry about dropping eyelashes.

ISOLATION TWEEZERS

Isolation lash tweezers feature a little twist halfway through the tips. This design which is usually positioned close to the eyelid lets you easily isolate the natural eyelashes. With this, on one hand, you can use another tweezer with your other hand to put the extensions correctly on the client.

CURVED TWEEZERS

If you love creating an eye-catching volume lash look, the curved lash tweezer should not be absent from your eyelash extension tools. This tweezer features curved tips that look like the letter J, thus also known as the J tweezer.

VOLUME TWEEZERS

Also called an L-shaped tweezer, the volume lash tweezer’s tip features a sharp, L-shaped curve. A pair of volume lash tweezers can help you control the volume fans you created, thus letting you create beautiful eyelashes easily.

THE TYPE OF TWEEZER THAT SUITS YOU

For volume lashes, you will always need the L-shaped tweezer to create volume fans. This type of tweezer can help you easily pick up and attach your handmade volume fans. Most classic eyelash extensions on the other hand require the straight tweezer as its fine point tip works best in isolating and removing grown-out lashes.

For lash fans, you will need curved tweezers to create, pick up, and attach them to the client. The isolation tweezer is specifically designed to make the gripping and un-gripping process of isolating lashes easier and more comfortable.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR TWEEZER LAST LONG

There are some tips you can follow if you want to make your tweezers last. One of them is to always clean and remove glue from your tweezer as soon as you are done as dried glue can cause an imbalance in the weight distribution on the tweezer and cause damage.

Another tip is to use different tweezers when applying thin and thick extensions. Also, make sure to put your tweezer in a safe place whenever not in use. Because if they slide or fall, they will be damaged quickly. Lastly, keep your tweezers stored in an enclosed tweezer case or stand.
