The Ultimate Lash Extension Supply List for Beginner Lash Artists (2025 Guide)

Starting your lash career is an exciting milestone—congratulations on completing your lash training! 🎉

Now comes the next big step: gathering the essential tools and products you’ll need to confidently start working on clients.

Whether your lash training course included a starter kit or you’re building your collection from scratch, having the right supplies is crucial to delivering professional results. To make things easier, we’ve created a complete beginner lash extension supply checklist to help you launch your business the right way.

1. Lash Trays for Classic Extensions

When you’re first starting out, you’ll want a good range of curls, thicknesses, and lengths. These are the most common options for Classic lashes:

• C, CC, and D Curl in 0.15 and 0.18 thicknesses

• Lengths ranging from 8mm–16mm (or a mixed tray covering the full range)

💡 Pro Tip: Mixed trays are budget-friendly for beginners, but you’ll notice some lengths (like 10–12mm) get used up faster. As you grow, switch to single-length trays in your most-used sizes to avoid waste.

2. Lash Trays for Volume Extensions

If you’ve trained in Volume or plan to offer it soon, here’s what you’ll need:

• C, CC, and D Curl in 0.05 and 0.07 thicknesses

• Lengths 8mm–16mm (mixed trays are great to start, then add singles in popular lengths)

Volume lashes require precision, so having the right trays is key for creating fluffy, even sets.

3. Lash Application Essentials: Liquids & Accessories

No lash setup is complete without the core products that ensure clean application and long-lasting retention. Make sure you have:

• Lash Cleanser (for prepping natural lashes)

• Primer (to ensure optimal bonding)

• Professional Lash Adhesive (choose one suited to your room’s humidity and your skill level)

• Gel Remover (for safe lash removal)

• Under-eye Pads & Micropore Tape

• Disposable Tools: Micro-swabs or lip applicators, mascara wands, and glue rings

• Lash Tile or Palette (for organizing your strips)

• Jade Stone (to keep adhesive cool)

• Air Fan or Nano Mister (to speed up curing and reduce irritation)

• Super Bonder (to maximize retention)

• Tweezers – at least two sets for isolation and application. It’s smart to keep duplicates in case one breaks or you need a backup between disinfecting appointments.

4. Furniture & Equipment

A comfortable and professional setup makes a big difference for both you and your clients. Consider investing in:

• Spa Bed/Chair – your client should be able to recline comfortably for long appointments

• Ergonomic Stool/Chair – your posture matters just as much as theirs

• Ring Light or Lash Lamp – good lighting is non-negotiable for precision

• Trolley or Side Table – to keep your tools and products organized

Final Thoughts

This essential lash extension supply list will set you up for success as a new lash artist. As your business grows, you’ll naturally add more advanced tools, different curl types, and additional services like lash lifts or brow treatments.

Starting with quality products not only boosts your confidence but also ensures your clients get beautiful, long-lasting results.
