It is so important for lash technicians to have both shields and rods in their supplies. This means you are able to offer customizable lifts which work for every client.
Every client's lashes are unique and so are their results post lash lift. Being able to choose from shields and rods will allow you to give your clients the best possible lift, make them fall in love with your work and inevitably keep them coming back for more!
The difference between the shield and rod is the curl or desired lift outcome. Shields will create an L curl by giving a direct lift from the root of the lash. This is great for those clients with hooded eyes or skin laxity so the lash comes up and over the lid rather than into it. Shields create more of a lift and as you go up in shield sizes it will begin to add a curl too. Rods give more of a C/D curl rather than a lift. These are great for more mature clients who would prefer a subtle curl.
