If you’re using premade fans, your setup matters more than you think. A clean, organized lash tile not only speeds up your appointments, it also improves placement, retention, and overall artistry.
In this step-by-step guide, we’re breaking down exactly how to set up your premade lash tile for faster, smoother, and more efficient lashing.
Before we jump into the steps, here’s the truth:
A messy or poorly prepped tile can slow you down, affect your pickup, and even impact your retention.
A proper setup helps you:
- Work faster with premade fans
- Keep your fans clean and intact
- Improve precision during application
- Stay organized throughout your set
If you want clean sets and quicker appointments, this is non-negotiable.
Step 1: Start with a Clean Lash Tile
Always begin with a clean laylow lash tile.
Residue, old adhesive, or dust can affect how your strips sit and how easily you can pick up fans. A fresh surface ensures:
- Better strip adhesion
- Cleaner pickups
- More hygienic application
Pro Tip: Wipe your tile down between every client to maintain consistency.
Next, place your silicone pad directly onto your lash tile.
This step is key for premades because:
- It prevents strips from sliding
- Gives you better grip when picking up fans
- Helps maintain the structure of your premades
A silicone surface = more control and less frustration.
Using a clean tweezer (we recommend our #406 tweezer)carefully apply your premade strip onto the silicone pad.
Make sure to:
- Keep your strip straight and centered
- Avoid touching the bases too much
- Use light pressure so you don’t damage the fans
This setup allows for:
- Easier fan pickup
- Less stickiness at the base
- Better accuracy during placement
Step 4: Enjoy Faster, Easier Lashing
That’s it, your tile is ready.
With everything properly set up, you’ll notice:
- Faster application times
- Cleaner sets
- Less frustration during pickup
- A smoother overall workflow
When your setup is right, everything else becomes easier.
