Struggling with inconsistent lash retention and can’t quite figure out why? You're definitely not alone! In this episode, I dive deep into lash extension retention—what actually causes it, what’s not your client’s fault, and the simple tweaks that can completely change your retention game. After years of teaching lash trainings, I break down the top 13 things that make or break how long those gorgeous lashes stay put.

We’ll talk technique, adhesive, and how to educate your clients on aftercare. If you’ve ever blamed your glue or felt defeated by poor retention, this episode will get you back in control and confident behind the chair.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why most retention issues actually start with the artist not the client?
• The real deal with “bad adhesive batches”?
• How do you prep, prime, and fan like a pro for seamless bonds?
• Small adhesive mistakes that secretly sabotage your sets
• How much does client education actually affect retention results?
• What’s one habit that guarantees you’ll keep improving long-term?
  
  

Tune in and take your retention skills from “hit or miss” to consistently flawless.
