If you’ve ever found yourself wondering how to lash quicker without sacrificing precision, you’re not alone. Every lash artist dreams of cutting down their application time while keeping those flawless, Instagram-worthy results.
If you’re new to lashing or a seasoned professional, speed and skill go hand in hand. In this guide, we’ll share practical tips, time-saving techniques, and the right tools to help you boost your lashing speed — without compromising quality.
At Posh Deluxe, we believe that mastering efficiency starts with the right products, the right setup, and the right mindset.
Why Lashing Speed Matters
In the world of professional lash artistry, time is money. The faster you lash (while keeping quality high), the more clients you can serve and the more income you can generate.
But speed isn’t just about earning more — it’s about client comfort and satisfaction. A quicker service means less time on the bed, a smoother experience, and a higher chance of returning clients.
Still, speed should never come at the cost of retention or lash health. The key is to work smarter, not harder.
1. Set Up an Efficient Lash Station
The foundation of faster lashing begins with a well-organised workspace.
Before your client arrives:
-
Prepare your lash trays by laying out the most-used lengths and curls.
-
Keep your tweezers, adhesive, and lash tape within easy reach.
-
Use a lash tile or palette to arrange your lashes neatly.
-
Adjust your lighting and chair height for comfort and clear visibility.
A clutter-free and ergonomic workspace can shave 10–15 minutes off your set — simply because you spend less time searching and more time lashing.
2. Master Your Isolation Technique
Isolation is one of the most time-consuming steps for lash artists. The secret? Practice, practice, practice.
To lash quicker:
-
Use fine-tipped isolation tweezers for precision and control.
-
Work under proper lighting to see every tiny lash.
-
Rest your hands on the client’s forehead or lash pillow for stability.
-
Isolate lashes in small zones instead of the whole eye — it helps you focus and build rhythm.
Once you master efficient isolation, your entire process becomes smoother and faster.
3. Choose the Right Lash Adhesive
Your adhesive can make or break your speed.
A fast-drying lash adhesive allows you to place extensions quickly before the glue cures, minimising stickies and wasted time.
At Posh Deluxe, we recommend our Bond Babe Adhesive, a professional-grade lash glue that offers:
-
1–2 second drying time
-
Strong retention up to 8 weeks
-
Ideal for experienced lash artists
For beginners, choose a slightly slower-drying adhesive (around 3–4 seconds) to give yourself time to adjust placement.
💡 Tip: Always match your adhesive speed to your lashing pace — not the other way around!
4. Use High-Quality Lash Extensions
The quality of your lash trays affects your efficiency more than you think.
Premium lashes like from Posh Deluxe are:
-
Easy to fan and pick up
-
Made with soft, flexible fibers that adhere easily
-
Consistent in curl, length, and thickness
Cheap or inconsistent lashes can slow you down, as you’ll spend extra time fixing clumped fans or misaligned fibers.
5. Pre-Make Your Lash Fans
If you specialise in volume or hybrid sets, pre-making your lash fans can save valuable time.
Consider:
-
Making fans during slower days and storing them properly.
-
Using pre-made or pro-made fans from Posh Deluxe for a faster application.
Our promade fans are heat-bonded and lightweight, ensuring they look just as seamless as hand-made fans — while saving you up to 30 minutes per set.
6. Refine Your Application Flow
Every lash artist has a rhythm — and finding yours helps you lash faster.
Try these efficiency hacks:
-
Work from inner to outer corner, or in sections (left-right-left).
-
Apply longer lengths first to build structure.
-
Use eye patches with clear markings** to stay organised.
-
Avoid over-isolating — trust your placement once it’s secure.
Consistency and muscle memory build speed naturally over time.
7. Maintain Your Tools
Dirty tweezers, clogged glue nozzles, or sticky lash palettes can seriously slow you down.
Always:
-
Clean your tweezers between clients.
-
Replace your glue dot every 15–20 minutes.
-
Store your adhesive properly in a cool, dry container.
At Posh Deluxe, we offer tweezers, adhesive accessories, and lash care tools designed for durability and precision — perfect for lash artists who want to perform at their best.
8. Keep Practicing Consistently
Speed doesn’t happen overnight — it’s the result of steady, consistent practice.
Time yourself during every set and record your progress.
Focus on improving just one step at a time — like isolation, pickup, or placement.
Over weeks, you’ll notice you’re finishing faster while maintaining the same flawless results.
