Why is it important to not apply extensions too close to the skin?

Positioning eyelash extensions too close to the skin is crucial to avoid discomfort and irritation. When extensions are applied directly at the base of the natural lashes or too near the eyelid, they can create a sensation of pulling or pressure, leading to irritation of the sensitive skin. The adhesive used in applying extensions may also cause allergic reactions or a stinging sensation if it comes into contact with the skin, which can result in uncomfortable experiences for the client. This discomfort can deter clients from returning for future treatments and may even lead to complaints or negative feedback.

Additionally, ensuring that extensions are not too close to the skin allows for proper natural lash growth and movement, preventing any potential damage to the natural eyelashes themselves. It is vital to create a comfortable experience for clients to maintain their trust and satisfaction in the service being provided.
