When applying lash extensions, what should you consider for safety?

Ensuring that no adhesive comes into contact with the client's eyes is critical for safety when applying lash extensions. The adhesive used in eyelash extensions can be harmful and potentially cause irritation or allergic reactions if it touches sensitive areas like the eyes. Proper application techniques must be followed to maintain a safe distance from the eyes, which helps prevent any adverse reactions and ensures the client's comfort throughout the procedure.

Using waterproof adhesive, while beneficial for the longevity of the extensions, does not address the potential hazards related directly to eye contact. Similarly, the weight of the extensions or the age of the natural lashes may affect the overall aesthetic or longevity of the extensions but does not pertain directly to safety in the manner that avoiding contact with the eyes does. Each aspect of lash extension application must be carefully considered, but protecting the client from possible injury should always be the top priority.
