Years ago, we would have to explain what eyelash extensions were and if they were a viable service that would remain or would fade out. Eyelashes are now a service that is here to stay. During this economic uncertainty, many spas exclusively focusing on eyelash extensions will close. The travel industry and spa attendance will also take a hit. Many would say now making an investment in adding an eyelash extension service to a menu is the wrong time. However, the argument could be made that it is precisely the right time to add this to a spa menu, especially if one has been on the fence about it. Looking at clients now, many of them are already wearing eyelash extensions.

For the small business to the spa, the implementation is very different. For both, finding talented, trained professionals are key. The spa may already have a staff member expressing interest in being trained. Starting from scratch with a professional will take about a year for them to feel comfortable. Finding an existing professional has its own set of pitfalls, namely if the professional was trained properly and if they perform at an excellent level. There will be no shortage of professionals looking for refuge in a salon environment with an existing clientele or the safety of a spa.
