Behind the Chair: 5 Things Your WiNKED Artist Wishes You Knew 💕

Ever wondered what's truly on your beauty artist's mind as they meticulously perfect your lashes, craft your ideal brows, or enhance your lips? (Beyond just making you look absolutely stunning, of course!)

At WiNKED, we're all about connection and transparency. We love sharing our passion with you, and sometimes there are those little insider tips that can make your appointment even more seamless, elevate your results, and help us work our magic more effectively.

So, we're pulling back the curtain! Here are 5 things your WiNKED artist genuinely wishes every client knew:

1️⃣ Clean Is Always Queen

This one's at the top of our list for a reason! Please, please make sure your lashes are thoroughly cleansed, and your face (especially around the brow and lip areas for permanent makeup) is clean and free of makeup before your appointment. We promise, we won't judge — we'll actually be incredibly grateful!

For lashes, a clean canvas means superior adhesive bonding, which directly translates to better retention and more time for us to apply beautiful extensions instead of cleaning. For permanent makeup, a clean surface is absolutely crucial for precision, optimal pigment absorption, and the best possible healing. It truly makes all the difference in your final result.

2️⃣ Silence Is Golden (If You Choose It)

We often get asked if it's okay to be quiet during an appointment, or even fall asleep. The answer is a resounding YES!

Some clients absolutely love to chat, and we cherish those connections and conversations. But if you prefer to relax, listen to a podcast, or even catch a quick nap during your service? We are never offended. In fact, we love that you feel comfortable enough to truly unwind. This is your dedicated time for self-care and escape, and we want you to be as comfortable as possible.

3️⃣ Consistency Is Key for Lasting Beauty

When it comes to maintaining your beautiful enhancements, consistency is vital.

For lash extensions, waiting too long between fills (beyond that ideal 2-3 week mark) can impact your retention and even your natural lash health. Pre-booking your fills, especially if you have upcoming events or vacations, is truly your best friend.

For permanent makeup, adhering to your aftercare instructions and returning for your required touch-up session are crucial for achieving and maintaining the perfect, lasting results. We're artists, not magicians (though sometimes we feel close 😉).

4️⃣ Customization Is Our Art Form

We love seeing your inspiration photos from Pinterest or Instagram! They give us a fantastic starting point to understand your vision. However, it’s important to remember that lash maps, brow shapes, and lip enhancements aren't one-size-fits-all templates.

For lash extensions, your unique eye shape, natural lash health, and existing density all play a significant role in determining the best style for you. For permanent makeup, your facial structure, natural bone alignment, skin undertones, and desired outcome are all carefully considered. Trust your WiNKED artist to customize a look that genuinely fits your unique features and enhances your natural beauty. We've got you covered!

5️⃣ Your Energy Shapes the Experience

At WiNKED, we firmly believe that the atmosphere and energy within our space are just as important as the services we provide. We give you our absolute best when the energy flows both ways – with kindness, mutual respect, and trust.

We’ve poured our hearts into building WiNKED as a truly safe, positive, and empowering space for both our talented artists and our cherished clients. That harmonious vibe is our secret sauce, making every single appointment more enjoyable and meaningful for everyone involved.

Final Thoughts 💭

Being a beauty artist at WiNKED is about so much more than just applying extensions or pigment. It’s about building genuine trust, creating beauty that empowers you, and protecting your entire client experience at every single step.

If you've already been that dream client – THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts.

And if you're new to the WiNKED community, we're so incredibly glad you found us. Now you have the inside scoop!

See you all soon,

Ashli + The WiNKED Team
