History of Lash Stylist Day
In 1879, James McCabe wrote a piece of work titled “The National Encyclopedia of Business and Social Forms,” in which he stated that eyelashes could be lengthened by cutting the ends with scissors. Other beauty books, such as “My Lady’s Dressing Room” (1892) by Baronne Staff and “Beauty’s Aids on How to be Beautiful” (1901) by Countess C., also made mention of the fact that the trimming of eyelashes, among other things, could benefit eyelash growth. Countess C. also suggested that eyelashes could be given extra length and strength by a regular wash with a mixture of water and walnut leaves.
In 1882, Henry Labouchère of “Truth” reported that women in Paris had found a way to cut and make false eyelashes by having hair sewn into the eyelids. A similar report appeared in an 1899 edition of “The Dundee Courier” where a description of the painful method for elongating the lashes was given. The article explained how the procedure achieved longer lashes by having hair from the head sewn into the eyelids.
In 1902, German-born hair specialist and noted inventor Charles Nessler patented “A New or Improved Method of and Means for the Manufacture of Artificial Eyebrows, Eyelashes and the Like” in the United Kingdom, and by 1903, he began to sell artificial eyelashes at his London salon located on Great Castle Street. He used the profits from these sales to fund his next invention, which was the permanent wave machine. A permanent wave machine is commonly called a perm and involves the use of heat and/or chemicals to break and reform the cross-linking bonds of the hair structure.

What training is required to become a lash stylist?

What is the difference between classic and volume lash extensions?

Why We Love
Natural lashes have finite length
Natural eyelashes have a certain length up to which they can grow and beyond which they will not grow, hence the use of extensions.
Artificial lashes come in different styles
Cases of eyelash extensions usually come in a variety of sizes and styles.
Natural eyelashes constantly grow and fall out
Natural eyelashes are always growing, much like other hairs on the body — and as they grow up to a certain point, they fall out.
Eyelash extensions are mostly customized
Given the fact that each individual has a peculiar size of eyelashes, artificial eyelash extensions are best customized to specific sizes.
Removal of artificial eyelashes requires professional help
It is rather impossible to take out an artificial eyelash by oneself — therefore, it is advisable to have a professional do it instead.
