How To Pick The Right Lash Tweezers For You
Picking the best lash tweezers for you pretty much comes down to personal choice, which is why there are so many different shapes - but that doesn’t mean we’re not here to help you make a slightly more informed decision!
Lash Tweezers by Purpose: Isolation & Classic Lashes
1.1 Isolation Tweezers: Prioritize Wrist Comfort
Eyelash tweezers for isolation are often the first pair lash technicians use, and the choice is often influenced by what was provided in their initial lash extension course. Some stick with straight tweezers out of habit, while others opt for angled or curved styles to reduce wrist strain.
Your main options for isolation include: Straight Isolation, Pointed Isolation, Angled Isolation, or Curved Isolation. The key is to choose the shape that keeps your wrist in a neutral, pain-free position during long sessions.
1.2 Classic Lash Extension Tweezers: Versatility Matters
When picking up classic lash extensions, you can use any of the isolation tweezers mentioned above. However, multifunctional tweezers are a game-changer for your kit. They work for classic lashes, Russian Volume lashes, and easy fan lashes—making them a versatile addition. Pro tip: You can even use them for isolation in a pinch!
2. Tweezers for Volume Lashes: Sturdiness & Grip
Once you’ve nailed your isolation and classic lash routine, it’s time to invest in tweezers designed for volume lashes. Beyond the multifunctional pair, two main options stand out:
-
KB-05 Black Fiber Tweezers: Built for everyday volume lash fan creation and pickup.
-
KP-04 Pink Tweezers: Ideal for precision work with smaller or more delicate volume fans.
3. Expert Tips for Lash Tweezer Success
Tip 1: Avoid Using Curved Tweezers for Volume Fans – While technically possible, curved tweezers lack the sturdiness needed for volume work. They’re designed for isolating natural lashes or picking single classic extensions, so you may experience fan loss or shorter tool lifespan if used for volume.
Tip 2: Check for Quality Assurance – For KOLYBEL Lash tweezers, all fan-picking pairs are hand-tested. Non-fan tweezers undergo visual checks to ensure tip integrity (no wiggly tips!) and aesthetic standards. Faulty tweezers are recycled, so you get only the best.
Tip 3: Clean Glue Off Tips Properly – Medical grade stainless steel tweezers are easy to clean! Use tweezers glue remover with the included sponge balls to dissolve glue—your tweezers won’t be ruined, and they’ll stay sharp for longer.
4. Final Thoughts
The right lash tweezers can elevate your work and reduce fatigue. Test different shapes for isolation, invest in a multifunctional pair for versatility, and choose purpose-built volume tweezers for precision. Follow our tips, and you’ll find your perfect match in no time!
