With more pro brands having entered the lash market

this year, the sector is booming. As such, more salons

are offering lash extensions than ever before, but the

classic, Russian and volume treatment techniques

aren’t as easy to do as they seem. A quarter of techs

(25%) still struggle with getting the placement right

every time, while others say speed is a big issue, taking

too long to get the extensions on.

Sensitive skin has also been in the spotlight as new

treatments launch to help reduce the symptoms more

effectively. However, it can be tough to treat these

conditions as the severity varies person to person, with

more than half of you (51%) finding eczema the most

difficult skin issue to tackle. Meanwhile, three quarters

said they would love to go into business with a friend,

stating it to be the perfect partnership.
