Can the preview show different curl types — J, B, C, CC, and D — on the same client?

Yes. Generate a separate preview for each curl the client is deciding between. A J curl reads as a subtle mascara lift, C is the most requested everyday curl, and D or L+ gives the dramatic, fully-open eye look. Showing them side by side on her own lash line settles the debate faster than a laminated curl chart ever does.

Does it distinguish lash-mapping styles like cat-eye, doll-eye, and natural round, or just add generic length?

It distinguishes mapping style. Cat-eye tapers shorter lashes at the inner corner and builds length toward the outer corner, doll-eye concentrates length in the center to open the eye, and natural round follows the client's existing lash line proportionally. The preview reflects the map you select, not a flat length increase across the whole eye.

How does it handle hooded or monolid eyes, where curl looks different once the eye is open versus closed?

The AI generates the preview from an eyes-open photo, so it reflects how the chosen curl actually sits against the client's lid type — including whether a C or D curl will show above a hooded crease or tuck under it. This is the exact question hooded-eye clients ask most, and it's the one a static curl chart can't answer.

Is this only for full sets, or can I use it when a returning client wants to change her lash map at a fill?

Both. It's most useful before a first full set, but it works just as well when a returning client wants to go from natural round to cat-eye, size up her curl, or lengthen for an event. Run the preview on her current photo and confirm the new map before you touch her existing set.

How is this different from just showing a client photos of past classic sets on my phone?

Portfolio photos are someone else's eye shape, lid type, and natural lash density — clients discount them for exactly that reason ('her eyes aren't like mine'). This preview applies the style to the client's own eyes, so what she agrees to is what she's actually going to look like.

Will it show a full, dense look on a client with naturally sparse lashes who isn't a great classic candidate?

No — and that's deliberate. Classic is one extension per natural lash, so the preview reflects a density the client's own natural lash count can actually support. If she wants more fullness than her natural lashes allow, that's the moment to talk hybrid or volume instead of overselling a classic set that won't hold.

What happens to client eye photos after the consult — do you store them?

That's your call, not ours — it's your studio's software. We build the storage and retention policy around what your business needs and make sure it meets GDPR, CCPA, or any other privacy regulation that applies to client images in your market. No training on your data, ever.

What does a classic lash preview tool cost for a single studio versus a multi-location salon group?

There's no off-the-shelf plan, so there's no published price list. Share your details and we'll discuss project scope and pricing on a free consultation call — see /pricing for details.

What is a classic lash preview preview?

A classic lash preview tool uses AI to show a client what a classic (1:1) eyelash extension set will look like on her own eyes before the lash artist begins application. The technician photographs the client's eyes at the consultation, and the tool generates a photorealistic image of the chosen length, curl, and lash-mapping style — cat-eye, doll-eye, or natural round — applied to her actual lash line and eye shape. Lash studios use this at the consult chair to confirm the style before committing to a 60- to 90-minute application.

Why it matters

A full classic set runs $80–$200 depending on market and artist tier, and takes 60 to 90 minutes of table time the artist can't get back if the client is unhappy with the shape. The objection isn't whether lash extensions look good — it's whether this length, this curl, on this eye shape will look natural or spidery. Lash mapping language — J curl versus C curl, 9mm versus 13mm, a doll-eye map versus a cat-eye map — means nothing to a first-time client staring at a chart. A preview turns that chart into a picture of her own eyes, so the style gets agreed on before the artist opens the tray, not renegotiated mid-application.

Who uses this

Lash artists and studio owners use it at the consult chair before every full set, especially with first-time clients or anyone requesting a dramatic curl or length change. Front desk staff at multi-artist studios use it during online booking follow-ups to lock in style ahead of the appointment, so the artist isn't mapping from scratch in the chair. Mobile lash techs use it on a tablet in a client's home before unpacking their kit.

Heard this from a lash client?

She points at a curl chart — J, B, C, CC, D — and has no idea what any of those letters mean on her own eye, so she defaults to "just make it look natural" and is disappointed anyway.

She has hooded or monolid eyes and is scared a C or D curl will disappear under her crease or press into her brow bone once her eyes are open, so she downgrades to the safest, least dramatic option every time.

A friend's lash extensions came in clumpy and spider-legged from another studio, so she sits down for her consult already bracing to say no to whatever map you draw up.

How classic lash preview previews work

Three steps. Under 10 seconds. No design skills needed.

Photograph the client's eyes at the consult chair

A close, front-facing shot with eyes open, under your normal lash-bar lighting. No special camera, ring light, or studio setup required.

AI applies the classic lash map

The model adds single extensions along her natural lash line in the length, curl, and mapping style you select — cat-eye, doll-eye, or natural round — while preserving her actual eye shape, lid type, and lash growth pattern.

Present before you open the tray

She sees her own eyes with the set on and agrees to the map. You go into the 60- to 90-minute application already knowing she's sold on the shape, not hoping she'll like it when the mirror comes out.
