10 Lash Tech Mistakes to Avoid in 2025 (and How to Fix Them)

No lash tech is perfect, and mistakes are part of the learning process.

But some mistakes can hold you back from growing your lash business.

If 2025 is the year you want to grow, get fully booked, and build your dream lash career, it’s time to avoid these common pitfalls.

Let’s dive into the 10 mistakes you need to steer clear of - and how to fix them.

Mistake 1: Undercharging for Your Services

Charging too little can hurt your business in two ways: you’ll struggle to reach your income goals, and clients may undervalue your work.

💡 Fix It: Review your prices to reflect your skills, expertise, and the time you invest in each client. Premium service deserves premium pricing.

Mistake 2: Inconsistent Social Media Posting

If you’re only posting sporadically, potential clients will lose interest. Social media requires consistency to keep your audience engaged and attract new followers.

💡 Fix It: Commit to posting 4–5 times per week to begin with. Use tools like scheduling apps or join Lashology for ready-made content templates to save time

Mistake 3: Neglecting Client Retention

Constantly chasing new clients can be exhausting & expensive.

💡 Fix It: Focus on rebooking existing clients by providing a VIP experience. Offer loyalty rewards, send appointment reminders, and follow up after their visit.

Mistake 4: Using Cheap Lash Supplies

Cutting costs on your supplies can result in poor-quality lashes and unhappy clients.

💡 Fix It: Invest in high-quality products. Clients can tell the difference, and premium lashes lead to premium results.

Mistake 5: Overthinking Your Marketing Strategy

Overthinking leads to procrastination, and procrastination means you’re not putting yourself out there.

💡 Fix It: Keep your marketing simple. Post consistently, highlight your work, and use Instagram stories to engage your audience.

Mistake 6: Skipping Client Consultations

Every client is different, and skipping consultations can lead to misaligned expectations.

💡 Fix It: Spend 5–10 minutes understanding your client’s needs, preferences, and lash goals before every appointment.

Mistake 7: Not Tracking Your Income and Expenses

If you don’t know your numbers, it’s impossible to make informed decisions for your business.

💡 Fix It: Use a simple spreadsheet or app to track your income, expenses, and profit margins.

Mistake 8: Ignoring Aftercare Education

Clients need to know how to care for their lashes to get the best results - and so you avoid unnecessary complaints.

💡 Fix It: Provide clear aftercare instructions after every appointment. Bonus points if you print them out or share them digitally.

Mistake 9: Not Asking for Reviews

Happy clients won’t always leave reviews unless you ask them.

💡 Fix It: Send a follow-up message after each appointment thanking your client and kindly requesting a review.

Mistake 10: Being Inconsistent with Branding

A confusing or inconsistent brand image can make it harder for clients to trust your business.

💡 Fix It: Choose a cohesive colour palette, font, and tone of voice for your marketing. Keep it professional yet approachable.

Mistakes are part of the journey, but 2025 is your year to learn, grow, and thrive.

Avoid these 10 pitfalls, focus on consistent improvement, and watch your lash business flourish.
