What is a contraindication for receiving eyelash extensions?

A contraindication for receiving eyelash extensions is a condition or factor that makes a certain treatment or procedure inadvisable for a specific person. In this case, having allergies to adhesives or sensitivities to eyelash materials is a significant concern. If a client has demonstrated an allergic reaction to eyelash extension products, such as adhesives or the lashes themselves, it poses a risk of adverse reactions, which can include irritation, swelling, or more severe allergic responses.

In contrast, having healthy natural eyelashes, previous eyelash extensions, and normal skin sensitivity do not inherently prevent someone from receiving eyelash extensions. In fact, healthy natural eyelashes are an ideal foundation for applying extensions, and previous experience with eyelash extensions can help inform the client’s preferences and outcomes. Normal skin sensitivity, while it may require careful product selection, does not rule out the possibility of safely applying eyelash extensions. Thus, the correct identification of allergies or sensitivities as contraindications is crucial for ensuring client safety and satisfaction in the eyelash extension process.
