Local Lash Salons vs. Independent Contractors

Eyelash Extensions, Lash Lifting

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at January 7th, 2023

Lash extensions are a popular beauty treatment that can enhance your natural lashes and give you a more dramatic, polished look. However, when selecting an eyelash salon, it is critical to choose a salon that can provide a wide range of services and experienced artists. Understanding the distinction between a reputable, local lash salon and an independent contractor offering lash services is also important when deciding which vendor to use.

Local Lash Salons vs. Independent Contractors

At Chic Lash Boutique, we understand how difficult it can be to choose a lash salon. Do you go to the one your friend recommended but has poor reviews online? Do you go to that artist who is renting a chair in an office space and running the whole show herself? How can you know who is trustworthy!? A local lash extension salon will have a team of certified and trained lash stylists who can provide you with all types of extensions, from classic to volume, mega volume, and specialized styles for different eye shapes. Trusted local lash salons will also provide additional lash services, like lash tinting and lash lifting.

Local Lash Salon Policies

We thoroughly vet our artists to ensure they have the training, skills, and certification to provide the best results possible. Our salon artists have been trained to work with various lashes and know how to tailor each set of extensions to the client's eye shape and preferences. They are also up to date on the latest lash industry trends and can offer tips and advice on maintaining and caring for your lashes after your appointment. If you are concerned about whether the extension look you want is suitable for you or have very specific/unique concerns, we easily have access to a community of lash experts to discuss the best course of action to develop a solution for you. We can pull from each artist's collective education and training, giving us centuries worth of lash knowledge. The collective knowledge provides insight into every lash condition, experience, issue, style, etc; this allows us to always create desirable looks that are healthy and sustainable for your lashes. Self-employed lash technicians or those new to the field may possess a different level of expertise and credentials than professional salon artists; hence, results are never guaranteed. Additionally, their service offerings may be limited, and their availability may be inconsistent, making it challenging to book an appointment. While these lash contractors may be a slightly cheaper option initially, it’s not worth the aggravation if they don’t meet your expectations and needs.

Local Lash Salons - Maintaining the Highest Standards

Independent artists do not have a team to hold them accountable regarding industry standards, sterilization, health & hygiene - due to the volume of traffic in a salon, there is more oversight and compliance enforcement. Salons are inspected by a third government party regularly. Clients go between artists in a salon. Therefore, the work must be close to perfect for each artist to create the overall desired look seamlessly. At Chic Lash Boutique, we use only premium materials, solutions, and tools to do our work; and we follow strict sanitation procedures to guarantee the well-being of our clients. When searching for a reputable local lash salon, choosing a salon with experience and an established reputation is always the safest, surest way to go!
