Shop Lash Supplies →1. Lash Extensions: Building Your Core Inventory
Your lash extension inventory is the most important and most frequently replenished part of your kit. A well-stocked professional inventory covers:
- Classic lashes — 0.10mm, 0.12mm, 0.15mm in C, CC, D curl; lengths 8–16mm
- Volume lashes — 0.05mm and 0.07mm for handmade fans; lengths 8–15mm
- Flat/ellipse lashes — 0.15mm and 0.20mm for sensitive clients
- Premade/promade fans — 4D, 5D, 10D for faster volume sets
- Specialty curls — L, LC, M for hooded and monolid clients
- Colored lashes — brown and caramel as minimum; bold colors for creative sets
Stock management tip: Keep 2–3 trays of your most-used diameters and curls. Rotate stock every 3–6 months. Track which lash types you use most per month and reorder before running out — running out mid-set is unprofessional and disruptive.
2. Tweezers: Your Most Personal Tool
Every lash artist needs at minimum two pairs of tweezers — one for isolation, one for volume application:
- Isolation tweezers (straight or slightly curved) — for isolating one natural lash during application
- Volume tweezers (curved or angled) — for picking up and placing volume fans
- Backup pairs — always have at least one backup of each type; tweezers can drop and lose tip alignment mid-appointment
Clean tweezers with adhesive remover after each client. Store in a protective case. Replace when tips no longer close precisely.
3. Adhesive: The Critical Consumable
Stock at minimum two adhesive types:
- Fast-dry (1s) — for your standard workflow at controlled humidity
- Sensitive formula (2s) — for clients with sensitivity or reactive eyes
Replace adhesive drop every 15–20 minutes during application. Discard opened bottles after 4–6 weeks. Store unopened bottles in a cool, dry place. Never shake adhesive bottles — creates air bubbles that weaken bonds.
4. Primer, Bonder & Booster: The Retention Stack
- Lash primer — applied before adhesive on every set; removes oils; balances pH; the single most effective retention step
- Lash bonder — applied after the full set; accelerates curing; locks in retention; reduces fume exposure
- Lash booster — nourishing treatment for clients with fine or weak natural lashes; applied between appointments
Use primer + bonder on every set as standard protocol. This alone will improve client retention complaints significantly.
5. Hygiene & Client Protection Supplies
- Hydrogel eye pads — protect lower lashes and under-eye skin; soothing for sensitive clients
- Micropore tape — for securing lower lashes and skin; use sensitive-skin tape for reactive clients
- Micro brushes — for primer, remover, and bonder application; one per client, never reuse
- Disposable spoolies — one per client for brushing during and after application
- Jade stone or glue ring — for holding adhesive during application
- Lash shampoo — for pre-cleansing client lashes before application
6. Removal Supplies
- Cream remover — for sensitive clients; slower-acting, more protective
- Gel remover — for standard removal; faster, cleaner finish
- Removal wrap/plastic wrap — for covering eye pads during removal to accelerate the process

- Tweezer case — protective case prevents tip damage during storage and transport
- Lash trolley or organizer — keeps all supplies accessible during appointments; reduces setup time
- UV sterilization box — for sterilizing reusable metal tools between clients
Inventory Management: Keeping Your Kit Stocked
- Audit your kit monthly — check expiry dates on adhesive, primer, and bonder; restock before running out
- Track your fastest-moving items — typically your most-used lash diameter and adhesive; keep 2x stock of these
- Set reorder triggers — reorder when you reach 30% remaining stock, not when you run out
- Rotate adhesive stock — use oldest bottles first; never use adhesive past its opened shelf life (4–6 weeks)
