They cover how to run a mini consultation with returning clients, when to swap primer in for saline, how to adjust your glue dot timing, and why UV adhesive keeps coming up as the answer to almost every retention complaint. Plus, a solid reminder that selling your clients a lash bath is both an upsell and a client protection strategy.
