Keep your lash menu simple and confident.

The best early menu has two options: a classic set and a volume or hybrid set. This keeps the decision easy and makes your timing more predictable.

Make sure each service includes a clear time estimate and the result the client can expect. When in doubt, choose clarity over variety.

  • Classic full set: natural, light definition.
  • Hybrid or volume set: fuller, darker, and longer wear.
  • Optional add-on: lash cleanse or removal with a fixed price.

Policies protect your schedule and your clients.

Lash services are time-intensive, so no-shows hurt more. A deposit and a clear cancellation window are not aggressive, they are professional. Add a short note about patch tests or contraindications so clients feel safe.

  • Deposit: 25 to 40 percent for new clients.
  • Cancellation window: 24 to 48 hours.
  • Include a note about avoiding caffeine and eye makeup on the day of service.

Local visibility is the fastest path to your first 10.

Share a short launch post with your best three photos, your service menu, and a booking link. Keep the call to action simple: book your full set. Early clients want confidence and convenience.

  • Google Business Profile: add services and your booking link.
  • Neighborhood groups: share open slots this week.
  • Collab with a brow or nail pro for a cross-referral.

Ask for reviews when the result is fresh.

Lash clients love to share results, which makes reviews easy. Send a review request the same day and include a link. Keep the tone thankful and specific.

Review and referral script

Thank you for coming in today. If you love your lashes, would you mind leaving a quick review? Here is the link.

If a friend asks about your lashes, feel free to share my booking link. I will take great care of them.

Fills are your retention engine.

Most clients need a fill every two to three weeks. Suggest a specific window based on their lash cycle and make it easy to book before they leave.

A simple reminder and a pre-booked slot will turn one client into recurring revenue.

  • Suggest two fill windows to choose from.
  • Send aftercare tips with the rebooking link.
  • Track no-show trends and require deposits for repeat reschedules.
