A Lash Stylist Best Friend .... Tweezers! How to care for them!

Tweezers are the only tool a lash stylist needs to work 8 hours a day/five days a week!

Have several tweezers on hand!

We all know that tweezers have a life span or worst still can be dropped.  So it is super important to have several tweezers on hand.  Not to mention, we need to sanitize them and make sure that we are using all clean tools on every client!

How to care for your tweezers and tools!

To prevent damage to the tweezers tips always lay your tweezers flat when cleaning, do not use a stand-up liquid sterilizer. For added protection after cleaning, replace the protective cap over tips and store in original tube packaging.

Adhesives should not remain on the tweezers for long periods of time and must be cleaned after each session. Remove excess adhesive with PremierLash Gel Remover or acetone.

Do not brush tweezers, we recommend soft cotton cloths only. Strong bristles of certain brushes may cause mild scratches rendering the tweezers more prone to brown staining. Handle them separately from other instruments. Make sure all instrument surfaces are visibly clean and free from stains or debris. Inspect each instrument for proper function and condition. Check that forceps tips are properly aligned.

Use only neutral pH (7) detergents. Low pH detergents will cause a breakdown of stainless protective surface and black staining if not rinsed off properly. High pH detergents will cause surface deposits of brown stain, which will interfere with operation of the instrument. 70% Isopropyl Alcohol is also recommended and safe for disinfection use.

Stronger chemicals like Barbicide or Acetone may corrode the tweezers by removing the protective layer.

After cleaning, rinse instruments thoroughly under running water. While rinsing, open and close tweezers to ensure that hinge areas are also rinsed out.
