ProMade Fans Vs. Handmade Lashes

When you think of ProMade lashes, what often comes to mind? Perhaps excessive fallout, thick boxy bases, or unflattering lash sets. However, as the industry has advanced, so have ProMade lashes. Today, ProMade lash extensions offer several advantages, including shorter application times, perfectly slim bases, and the potential for flawless artistry with endless customization options.

The Evolution Of ProMade Lash Fans

In the early days, ProMade lashes faced criticism for their bulky bases and inconsistent results. Modern ProMade lashes, however, have overcome these challenges through improved manufacturing techniques and materials. ProMade fans are now 100% hand-made by expert technicians, ensuring each fan has minimal adhesive use and a narrow base, closely mimicking the fans a lash artist would create themselves… oftentimes, more consistently​​.

Advantages Of ProMade Lash Extension Fans

Shorter Application Time:

One of the primary benefits of ProMade lashes is the reduced application time. Since the fans are pre-made, lash artists can apply them more quickly, making them ideal for clients who want a full, voluminous look without spending hours in the chair.

Perfect Slim Bases:

The bases of ProMade fans are designed to be thin and lightweight, providing comfortable wear for clients. This feature also enhances the retention of the extensions, ensuring they last longer and look more natural​​.

Flawless Artistry:

With ProMade lashes, achieving a flawless look is more attainable. The consistent quality of each fan allows lash artists to create beautifully uniform sets that can be customized to match each client's unique style and preferences.

Endless Varieties:

ProMade lashes come in various lengths, curls, and volumes, offering endless possibilities for customization. This variety ensures that lash artists can cater to any look, from natural and wispy to bold and dramatic​.

Cost-Effectiveness Of ProMade Lash Fans

Are ProMade lashes expensive? Let's do the math:

Imagine the price of your hand-made volume full set is $200, it takes you 2.25 hours per set, and your total product cost is $4. At the end of three full sets you will have netted $588 in 6.75 hours bringing your hourly rate to $87.11 per hour. Stay with me. Now, imagine the same starting price of $200 per full set using ProMades, but now you can knock them out in 1.75 hours. Your product cost is a little more at $13 per full set. At the end of three full sets you net $561 but you did it in only 5.25 hours! That saves you half an hour of your day and you make $106.80 per hour!

While the initial cost of ProMade lashes might be higher than traditional handmade fans, the time saved and the consistency in quality can make them a cost-effective choice in the long run​.

Advantages Of Handmade Lash Fans

Handmade volume fans offer a unique level of customization that truly sets your work apart and are also still very cost effective. When you create fans by hand, you can fine-tune every aspect to perfectly suit your client’s natural lashes. With certain attachment techniques you can also greatly enhance your client’s lash retention.. There’s a real art to hand-made fans, and it’s where your expertise and attention to detail can really shine.

Both ProMade fans and handmade lash extensions offer unique advantages, and we wholeheartedly endorse them both. ProMade fans are perfect for achieving fast, consistent results with perfectly slim bases, making them a great option for efficiency. On the other hand, hand-made fans allow a little more customization, enabling lash artists to tailor each set to their client’s unique natural lashes. Whether you prefer mastering hand-made fans or the convenience of ProMade fans, your clients will love them! The choice is up to you!
