7 Lash Safety Checklists You Need to Know Before Starting Any Treatment

Whether you're new to lash extensions or a seasoned client in Singapore, safety should always come first. With the growing popularity of lash treatments, from classic extensions to volume lash styles—more beauty salons and technicians are offering these services across the island. 

But before deciding to get the service, it is important to hire a lash technician who will ensure proper hygiene, high-quality products, and professional standards for you. This is key to protecting your eyes and enhancing your natural beauty safely.

Here’s a comprehensive lash safety checklist every technician and client should know before starting any treatment!

Lash Safety Checklist Before Treatment 

Patch Testing: Why It’s Important?

Patch testing is one of the most important steps before any lash application. It helps determine if a client is allergic or sensitive to the adhesive or products used during the treatment.

In Singapore’s humid climate, allergies may be more easily triggered due to increased moisture and heat. A patch test can prevent reactions such as redness, swelling, itching, or even serious infections.

‍

Check Sanitation and Workspace Cleanliness

Lash treatments involve working very close to the eyes, which are one of the most sensitive parts of the body. Any bacteria, dirt, or contaminated tools can lead to infections like conjunctivitis or styes. That’s why hygiene is non-negotiable!

In Singapore, salons are required to follow guidelines set by the National Environment Agency (NEA). Reputable lash studios will display their hygiene certification on-site.

What to look for in a lash salon?

• Clean floors, walls, and furniture
• Sanitized tweezers, brushes, and tools before each use
• Disposable bed covers and towels are changed after every client
• Proper ventilation to manage glue fumes
• A neat separation between used and clean tools

It’s also completely acceptable (and smart) to ask questions. Don’t hesitate to ask how frequently the tools are disinfected, what type of sanitization products they use, or how often disposable items are replaced.

Get a Proper Client Consultation

Before starting any lash appointment, you should be able to consult thoroughly with your lash artist first. This step ensures they understand your eye health, allergies, and lash history before applying anything.

What should be covered?

• Previous lash treatments and reactions
• Any existing medical conditions (especially eye-related)
• Current medications (some can increase sensitivity)
• Desired lash style and density
• Consent and photo documentation of your natural lashes

In Singapore, keeping detailed client records is part of good business practice and shows professionalism.

‍

Guide You Through The Process

An ethical lash technician educates clients about what’s happening during each step of the process. It builds trust and helps avoid problems later. Some things that your lash technician might share include: 

• What to expect during the appointment
• Signs of an allergic reaction
• Aftercare after the appointment
• What to avoid (like steam rooms or oil-based cleansers)

‍

Check Product Expiry Dates

Lash adhesives and solutions degrade over time, especially in Singapore’s humid weather. Using expired glue can lead to skin irritation, allergic reactions, and weak bond strength,  causing your lashes to fall out prematurely.

You can ask this detail to your lash technician, and they should be willing and okay to let you know about this. Lash Studios takes product safety seriously and shows a commitment to client well-being.

‍

Use High-Quality Products

When selecting a salon lash service provider, choose one that uses reputable, recognized lash brands. Cheap or unbranded products may contain harmful chemicals or irritants!

‍

Provide Aftercare Guidelines

Lash care doesn’t end at the salon. Proper aftercare extends the life of your extensions and keeps your eyes healthy, thus, a good lash artist should also provide thorough aftercare guidelines for their client. Usually, you will be advised of these dos and don’ts:

• Avoid water, steam, and sweat for 12–24 hours
• Don’t rub your eyes too hard
• Never pull on the lashes
• Use an oil-free lash cleanser daily
• Brush lashes daily with a spoolie
• Skip mascara

Do keep in mind that in Singapore, where it’s hot and humid year-round, aftercare is extra important to prevent buildup and premature fallout.
