Before you book an appointment, find a professional lash technician who has a solid list of recommendations and high reviews. Have a look through their social media pages including their Instagram for photos of their previous work to see if it matches your style. If the lash technician specializes in long, bold eyelashes, you may want to find someone who creates natural lash finishes. A lash technician who knows things like eye shapes is more likely to give you the lashes of your dreams, which is why Harper's Bazaar recommends finding someone proficient in makeup.
You should also know what types of lashes your technician uses. There are three types of eyelash extension materials you can choose from: mink, synthetic, and silk. For a more natural look, opt for mink and silk lashes. Synthetic lashes, on the other hand, are thicker, darker, and are much more eye-catching (via Byrdie).
