Building Your Lash Kit: Essential Supplies for Irish Lash Artists

Whether you’re just starting out as a lash artist in Dublin or have been lashing for years, having the right kit is essential to delivering beautiful results and keeping clients coming back. Too often we see new artists overspend on trendy gadgets they don’t need, only to discover they’re missing critical basics like a reliable adhesive or quality lash cleanser. Ireland’s high humidity and unique market mean your kit should be carefully curated. In this guide I’ll share the must‑have items for every professional lash artist, how to choose quality supplies, and why investing in tested products pays off in retention, efficiency and client satisfaction.

**Essential products for your lash kit**

A well‑rounded lash kit covers three areas: preparation, application and aftercare. Here’s what you need:

• **Cleansing & prep:** A gentle, oil‑free lash shampoo removes makeup and sebum, while a primer like our Strawberry Primer balances pH and improves adhesion. Clean lashes mean better retention and healthier eyes.

• **Adhesive:** Select a glue formulated for Ireland’s humid climate. Our FAST PRO Ultra Glue cures in about one second in 40–70 % humidity, giving strong retention with minimal fumes. Always keep a spare bottle and change it every four weeks.

• **Application tools:** High‑quality lash trays are the heart of your kit. Our ULTRA‑SOFT lashes made from premium Korean PBT come in C, D and L curls and multiple lengths, perfect for classic, hybrid or volume sets. Pair them with your favourite tweezers. Microfibre brushes help you apply primer precisely and remove extensions without waste.

• **Glue accessories:** Honeycomb glue cups maintain a fresh drop shape and reduce waste. Spare glue nozzles prevent clogs and keep your adhesive bottle clean. Medical tape and eye pads, like our Nano‑Hydrogel Patches and LashTech Precision Tape, secure lower lashes and lift lids comfortably.

• **Removal & aftercare:** A cream or gel remover dissolves extensions safely when it’s time for a full set. Provide clients with a lash cleanser to maintain hygiene between appointments and teach them how to care for their extensions to avoid lash mites and irritation.

**Choosing quality supplies**

Not all lash products are created equal. Here’s how to shop smart:

• **Look for vegan and cruelty‑free materials:** Synthetic PBT lashes are hypoallergenic and hold their curl better than animal fibres.

• **Check humidity and temperature guidelines:** Adhesives should specify their ideal working environment. In Ireland’s damp climate, avoid glues designed for very dry conditions.

• **Beware of generic bulk kits:** We’ve tested many products from Russian, Vietnamese, Chinese and Korean manufacturers and found that quality varies widely. Cheaper glues may cure too slowly or irritate the eyes. Investing in trusted brands with transparent sourcing protects your reputation.

• **Seek professional bundles:** Bundles like our **Lash Pro Essentials Set** combine primer, shampoo, remover and FAST PRO Ultra Glue at a discount. It’s a smart way to build a kit without overspending.

**FAQs about lash kits**

**What do I need in my first professional kit?**  
Start with the basics: a reliable adhesive, primer, lash shampoo, quality lash trays in a few curls and lengths, tweezers, microfibre brushes, glue cups, eye pads, tape and remover. Add more curls and volume lashes as your menu grows.

**How often should I replace my supplies?**  
Adhesives should be replaced monthly once opened. Eye pads, brushes and glue cups are single‑use; tweezers and tools last longer but should be sanitised after each client. Lash trays remain usable until empty but discard any strips exposed to dust or oil.

**Where can I buy lash supplies in Ireland?**  
Buying from a local supplier saves shipping time and ensures products are formulated for our climate. Maison Lashé stocks everything from lashes to primers, glue cups and training accessories, all tested by our team.

**Are Maison Lashé products vegan and cruelty‑free?**  
Yes. Our lashes are made from high‑quality Korean PBT and all our products are free from animal testing and harsh chemicals.
