How to Decide: Skill Level and Stocking Guide

Beginner: Start with YY Lashes or V-Shape 3D — both require no fan management and are the most forgiving on placement.
Intermediate: U-Shape 4D–5D or W-Shape 3D–4D — progress to mixed sets.
Advanced: W-Shape 5D–7D — custom mapping with all four series.

Wholesale stocking priority:

  1. W-Shape 4D + 5D (C & D curl) — broadest client appeal, highest volume demand
  2. YY Lashes 0.07mm (C & D curl) — essential for hybrid sets, preferred by experienced artists
  3. U-Shape 4D M Curl — growing demand for Asian and hooded eye markets
  4. V-Shape 3D + 4D — loyal niche segment for precision wispy aesthetics

Starter wholesale kit: W-Shape 4D (C+D curl) + YY 0.07mm (C+D curl) + U-Shape 4D M Curl.

FAQ

Can I mix series in one set?
Yes. A common technique is using YY Lashes as accent spikes within a W-Shape or U-Shape volume base to add wispy texture without disrupting fan uniformity.

Which series is safest for sensitive clients?
YY Lashes at 0.05mm place the least mechanical stress on natural lashes. U-Shape fans also work well due to their open, low-density spread.

What is the difference between U-Shape and W-Shape?
U-Shape has a soft open arc base for natural-full volume with minimal weight. W-Shape has a wider clover base with up to 7D tips for maximum fluffy drama.

Which series retains best?
Retention depends on adhesive quality, prep, and aftercare — not fan shape. YY and V-Shape have narrower bases that can be an advantage on fine natural lashes.
