What Are Clients? Clients may include:

- people from a range of social, cultural and ethnic
backgrounds and with varying physical and mental abilities Lash and Brow treatments are provided either as an individual treatment or they may be provided in conjunction with other treatments, such as a make up consultation, or as part of a facial package. They are always provided as a result of client consultation and to meet client requirements. Just as there are many different reasons to have an eye lash and brow treatment, there is just as much diversity in your client demographic. Clients may include, new or regular clients, with routine or special needs. You may have clients that are female, or male. Basically, clients can be people from a range of social, cultural and ethnic backgrounds and with varying physical and mental abilities. Subsequently, all clients must be treated with respect in a non-threatening or judgemental manner. A client may desire the treatment as a time-saving beauty trick, they may have an allergy to mascaras, or even light/blonde coloured lashes, and require it to enhance their appearance.

Treatment Plans
Treatment plan must include: - required procedures
- appropriate products
- areas requiring special treatment
- eyebrow shape
- skin sensitivity
- follow-up procedures
Required Procedures Before you conduct any treatments on a new or potential client it is important to consult with the client to gather information. This enables the therapist to obtain a thorough evaluation of the client needs and requirements and as a result recommend the most appropriate treatment to meet the clients needs. Once you have identified why your client wants the treatment and any characteristics that will influence the treatment, you can start devising a treatment plan. A treatment plan is a plan that states how you are going to perform the treatment on the client and what products are going to be used. Appropriate Products As each client is different, so might be the products you will use during each treatment. In some cases, it is obvious, such as using darker tint on a naturally darker complexion to achieve results. But in other cases, it may not be so easy to choose appropriate products for a treatment without client information. For example, a clients health and medication details are important to know when assessing client suitability for treatment. The client may be a survivor of cancer who requires an eyebrow tint after chemotherapy, it would be essential for the therapist to know of current medications that can effect contra-indications such as skin sensitivity. During the consultation, the therapist should discuss the products to be used, the effect of those products, and the probable outcome of using the product. The more informed a therapist can make the client, the more confident the client will be with the advice and professional judgement, that the therapist has to offer. Eliminating any unrealistic expectations that the client may have. Areas of skin requiring special attention When creating a treatment plan for a client, there are areas of the face that require special attention. As lash and brow treatments focus on the sensitive eye area, you need to take precautions when working in this area. The skin is very delicate in this area and can be easily removed or burnt, leaving the client with marks on the skin that should not be there. Conditions in the eye area that require special attention include:
- swelling or bruises
- pustules
- very dry or flaky patches of skin
Eyebrow Shape Consultations offer the therapist the opportunity to assess the area to be treated and explain, in detail, the benefits of a suggested treatment, and how the procedure is performed. If the eyebrow shaping is the treatment required, then eyebrow shape should be assessed. Eyebrow shaping should enhance and accentuate the eyes and will vary depending on face shape. It is the therapists job to make sure the client has realistic expectations of the eyebrow shaping procedure. Skin Sensitivity During the consultation the therapist should conduct a skin sensitivity patch test and any other testing they feel is necessary. If doing an eyelash tint for example, the tint should be tested on the clients skin 24 hours before the procedure to check for any adverse reactions. This can be done by applying a small amount of the tint to an area of soft skin, such as behind the ear, or on the inside of the forearm. The client will then come back 24 hours later and the therapist can see the results and if appropriate go ahead with the treatment. If there are any adverse reactions, then the therapist should record these on the clients treatment plan immediately and recommend the client forgo that particular treatment. Perhaps suggesting an alternative treatment if available. Follow-up Procedures The consultation is also the time to discuss the costs involved, and the frequency of treatments that is required to achieve certain results, and in maintaining those results. In some cases, follow up procedures are inevitable and essential in maintaining the look desired by the client. Eyebrow waxing/threading, eyebrow tinting and eyelash tinting are all semi-permanent in nature so will require regular up-keep to maintain the effect. It is important for the therapist to be sincere and professional. They must use appropriate manner and communication skills to make the consultation process successful. When assessing client needs, the therapist should listen to the client carefully, being sure to clarify any areas of doubt or concern that the therapist has. It is vital that the therapist walks away from the consultation with a clear and specific idea of what the client wants and how they are going to achieve it. In situations like this, no one wants surprises. The therapist must explain to the client, the treatment requirements i.e. state of undress. Removal of watches and jewellery and appropriate position on the treatment table. Ineffective positioning can lead client discomfort and poor treatment results and risk of injury to client and therapist. The main aims of the consultation are to:

- Establish rapport with the client.
- Discuss client needs and requirements.
- Ensure that there are no contra-indications for treatment.
- Discuss and agree on realistic treatment options.
- Gain client consent for treatments
- Answer queries the client may have.
- Suggest appropriate treatments and products for future or at home care.
1.2 Confirm lash or brow requirements with client
Client Requirements An essential part of providing a professional service to your clients is to identify why they want the treatment so that you can then provide accurate advice and recommendations for a treatment to meet the needs the client has identified. The client may decide on a particular treatment for various reasons, which could include the following:
- special occasion function, ball or party, holidays
- mascara irritates their eyes
- to frame the face
- to enhance the eyes
- eyelashes and eyebrows are too light
- eyebrows are too thick and bushy
- so they do not have to apply mascara
- so they are able to swim without wearing makeup.
Asking your client to describe exactly what they want shows the client that their needs are important and that they will receive the best possible service from you. To collect information about your clients needs, you will need to ask open questions and actively listen to the clients needs. Refer to our guide Provide Salon Services to Clients for information on strategies for effective questioning and listening skills to use with your clients. Identifying your clients characteristics Before beginning a lash and/or brow treatment, you must accurately identify the clients personal characteristics, as this information will affect the type of treatment you recommend and the end result. Accurately identifying a clients characteristics will assist you to recommend an appropriate treatment to your client. Each client has individual characteristics and these all need to be taken into consideration before the treatment begins. What may be correct for one client could have drastic results for another. The clients characteristics will affect the treatment in many ways, including:
- the best way to shape the eyebrows
- what type of wax to use
- what colour tint to apply
- how long to leave the tint on the hair?
- the degree of difficulty of the treatment.
The table below describes some client characteristics and how they can affect the lash and brow treatment you recommend. Figure 1: Characteristics and Effects
Characteristics | Effects on treatment |
Face Shape | This will affect the way the eyebrows are shaped. For example, very thin eyebrows would not be appropriate for a client with a large oval face. |
Eye Shape | The size, shape and width of the eyes need to be considered in order to complement the clients other natural characteristics. |
Skin sensitivity | If a client has very sensitive skin, extra care should be taken with product choice. The wax should also be cooler than normal. |
Skin tone | If, for example, the client has naturally very pale skin, harsh, black eyebrows and lashes may look false and severe. |
Hair colour | Tints that complement the clients natural hair colour will give a more natural effect. |
Texture of eyebrow hair | - If the texture of the eyebrow hair is very fine, you may need to leave the tint on for a little longer.
- If the texture is thick, the lashes may be more porous and take to the tint more quickly.

Characteristics | Effects on treatment |
Curly eyebrows | These will have to be brushed into line and sometimes even trimmed if they are too long and out of place. |
Length of eyelashes | - If the client has long eyelashes, you will need to make sure that they keep their eyes shut during

The above characteristics or any combination of them, will determine the type of treatment suitable for different clients. For the eyelashes and eyebrows, select a colour that complements the client's hair and skin colours, their age and usual eye makeup. Always discuss the choice of colour carefully with your clients to help you determine their preference. There are several questions you could ask to help you in your selection of a suitable treatment.
- What effect are you trying to achieve?
- What colour mascara do you normally wear?
- How dark would you like your eyelashes/eyebrows?
- Do you normally wear eyebrow pencil? What colour?
Recording client characteristics The best way to record your clients characteristics is by using a client card. This is a card designed by your workplace to record the details of the client and the treatments she or he receives at your salon. Client cards may appear different across workplaces but they contain similar information. An example of a client card is provided below. Figure 2: Example of client record card

- Perform a patch test according to manufacturer instructions and identify skin reactions.
What is a Patch Test? Clients will normally select lash and brow tinting to enhance their general appearance, define or correct brow shapes and emphasise the lashes with intensified colour. The function of the hair of the eyelashes and eyebrows is to protect the eyes from moisture and dust. The lashes and brows also give definition to the eye and enhance appearance. Some clients with fair lashes and brows feel that without the use of cosmetics their eyes lack this definition and detract from their appearance. Tinting the length of the lash or brow makes it appear longer and bolder, yet the effect created looks natural. For this reason, the convenience of permanent colour makes tinting a very popular and profitable salon treatment. Because tinting involves the use of chemicals, it will be necessary to carry out patch tests before you perform any tinting procedures. A patch test is a procedure where the operator applies a very small amount of the chemical product they will be using during the treatment to their client to see if they will react to it. Clients should undergo a patch test before a permanent tinting treatment to the eyelashes or eyebrows or eyelash perming. When to do a patch test It is normally recommended that a patch test be performed at least 24 hours prior to the treatment. Some clients are sensitive to different products and produce an allergic reaction immediately on contact with it, while in others the allergic reaction may be delayed. Consumers who undergo skin testing should know that anaphylaxis can occur anytime. So if any of the following symptoms are experienced, a physician consultation is recommended immediately:
- Low grade Fever
- Light-headedness or dizziness
- Wheezing or Shortness of breath
- Extensive skin rash
- Swelling of face, lips or mouth

- Difficulty swallowing or speaking
Contraindications Even though skin testing may sound like a benign procedure it does have some risks which include swollen red bumps (hives) that may occur after the test. The hives usually disappear in a few hours after the test. In rare cases they can persist for a day or two. These hives may be itchy and are best treated by applying an over the counter hydrocortisone cream. In very rare cases one may develop a full blown allergic reaction. When you perform a skin test you should always have procedures available in case an anaphylaxis reaction occurs. This is the main reason why consumers should not get skin testing performed at corner stores or by people who have no medical training. Skin testing can be done on individuals of all ages. However, there are times when a skin test should not be done. Individuals who take medications for depression, gastric acidity or anti histamines should not undergo this test. In such cases, stopping the medications for a skin test may not be worthwhile as one may develop symptoms from the untreated medical disorders. Individuals who have severe, generalized skin disease or an acute skin infection should not undergo skin testing. One needs uninvolved skin for testing. There are some individuals who are highly sensitive to even the smallest amount of allergen and in such scenarios, allergic testing is not recommended. Whenever the chances of an anaphylactic shock are high, the test is best avoided. Patch test procedure Apply a small quantity of the tinting product with a cotton wool bud in an area immediately behind the ear or on the inside of the arm. Apply the product by either painting or rubbing it on to the skin over an area of about the size of a five cent coin. Fi
gure 4: Figure 5: Leave the product on for at least ten minutes so that it will have an effect. Two responses to the patch test are possible positive or negative. A positive result is recognised by irritation, swelling or inflammation of the skin. If this occurs, do not proceed with the treatment. Wash the product off immediately and apply a soothing antiseptic cream to calm the skin. Once the offending tint is removed, the irritation normally disappears. A negative result produces no skin reaction in this case you may proceed with the treatment.

Before recommending a lash and/or brow treatment, you must identify any contra-indications to lash and brow treatments your client shows. Contra- indications are conditions that prevent you from performing a treatment or for which you must take certain precautions or modifications to treatments. Below is a list of the contra-indications for lash and brow treatments. Figure 3: Contra-indications
