What should a technician do if an eyelash extension is applied incorrectly?

When an eyelash extension is applied incorrectly, the most appropriate course of action is to remove the incorrectly applied extension and reapply it correctly. This ensures that the extension is securely attached to the natural lash, maintaining the integrity of both the extension and the natural lash.

Improper application can lead to issues such as discomfort for the client, potential damage to the natural lash, or unevenness in the appearance of the extensions. Reapplying correctly ensures that the extensions last longer and look more aesthetically pleasing, while also adhering to best practices in lash extension application, which prioritize the health of the natural lashes and the satisfaction of the client.

Covering the extension with mascara or leaving it as is could lead to further complications. Mascara can clump the extensions and might cause damage, while leaving the extension incorrectly placed can result in damage to the natural lash or an unsatisfactory look. Consulting with the client about their preference might seem considerate, but ultimately, it is the technician's responsibility to provide a service that is safe and meets professional standards.
