I’m a lash pro & there are red flags when you’re getting yours done… if they can’t do a classic set, run immediately
A LASH whizz has revealed why you should walk out immediately if your beauty technician can’t do a classic set – and other five red flags.
Millie Sampson, from Cornwall, the UK, took to TikTok to explain what you should look out for when paying for lash extensions.
According to the blonde, who claimed to the the Global Lash Artist of the Year, 2022, you should dash out if your guru only does three different lengths.
When getting your lashes done, your set should have more than one to three lengths, Millie explained in the video.
Just as important is seeing if they can do the very basics.
If your lash tech can’t create a classic set, they won’t be able to do much more – after all, classics show skill, she noted.
Just as important, Millie said, was asking for any proof of qualification.
The fourth major thing that instantly screams ‘red flag’ can be found on their social media page, where they showcase their talent and portfolio.
”Only posts photos of the same 8-12mm cat eye on every single client – red flag.”
The length of the hair is just as key when getting your lash extensions, and for Millie each millimetre makes a differece.
”Goes over 9/10 on the inner corners – red flag. I personally don’t use over an eight,” she explained.
Millie’s final tip was to see if your lash guru offers multiple options – they should know which style would suit your eye shape the best.

Since being uploaded on the platform, the video’s racked up over 65k views and dozens of comments.
Numerous beauty fans shared their horror stories, with one writing: ”The lash tech I went to took 45 min on volume infills and 10 days later I have 40% of lashes left.”
Someone else agreed, adding: ”Over the 9/10 on the inner corners is crazy.”
”obsessed with you and your work,” a fan penned.
A fellow whizz in the industry was of a different opinion, hitting back: ”Disagree. I have so many clients with super long lashes that can take up to 14-15mm.
”Also many techs have signature styles that clients ask for.”
