- Hey SOCO CZcams Squad!!!
I just wanted to say THANK YOU to the moon and back for supporting all of our endeavors. I am SO new to CZcams, so I also wanted to say THANK YOU again for being patient with me as I make mistakes with video uploads, posting… and you know, all of the things 😂. I’ll get the hang of this, I promise!!
Let’s get into it!!! MAKING FANS!!! Oh my gosh, was this hard for me. When I was a year into lashing, I was an ambassador for a very big lash company. This was long before volume lashes existed, so I was only offering Classic Lashes, and I was really happy with that. What I didn’t realize would happen was… I was let go from my position, because I sucked at volume. Yep! Just like that… POOF… they didn’t want me anymore. It was heartbreaking, embarrassing, and I really questioned my art.
Instead of giving up [even though I felt so defeated], I took a few volume classes. It wasn’t until me 8th class that it actually started to click. I PRETENDED that it clicked, because everyone else seemed to understand fanning… and I felt really stupid. As some of you know, I am almost always the LAST person in every class to understand something, complete the set… and it’s not because I’m a perfectionist. It’s because I am a REALLY slow learner.
Instead of giving up, I decided to put on my bravery pants and try and help other artists understand what I didn’t. I know what it’s like to be the only person to not ‘get something.’ I know what it’s like to feel left out, because you just can’t seem to keep up- no matter how much you try. I know too well what it’s like to pretend that I understand something to avoid feeling embarrassed. If you can relate to that, you’re in good company, because so do I.
My CZcams channel is solely dedicated to the Lash Artist who pretend to understand what their dong for social approval. But here, you don’t have to pretend. You’re human, and it’s okay to ask as many questions as you have.
This channel is the cone of safety, and I really want you to feel comfortable asking all of your questions, ESPECIALLY if it’s something that you think you should know. This is the place where you don’t have to pretend, and you ca be human.
Any and all questions are accepted, so please feel free to leave a comment if something doesn’t make sense, and comment your Instagram Handle so I can follow you there!!!
I can’t wait to meet you guys, and dedicate videos to someone like you.
XO
Jena

Just wanted to say I literally have this video on repeat every time I practice fans and I love how much you've helped!!
Ommmggg stawwwppp!!! No freaking way!! This made my whole WEEEEEKKK!!!!
Tutorial starts at 14:50
OMG!! I can’t find words to explain what I am feeling right now. I watched your video as I am sitting at my desk(I work from home) and I practice on my fans on my down time. I’ve been getting better but this video made me feel like a damn master at fanning. And you’re so right about practicing and time because I’ve given up like 3xs already and I keep coming back. You’re a lash queen!! Thanks for being so transparent and honest. I’ve purchased a lot from you and I am happy with your lashes. The only problem Ive had has been with the hydrogel patches not sticking to my clients and I haven’t used them again. I purchased the .04 and they’re A-M-A-Z-I-N-G used them while watching this video. I definitely need help understanding retention, I use your primer and bonder but sometimes I can’t understand what’s going on!! Next item to purchase will definitely be your adhesive. XOXO from Dallas, I hope you come to Tx soon!
Omggg really?! Aaahh your comment literally just put me in the BEST mood!!! Thank you SO freaking much for your comment!!!!!
I love your perspective into this and can tell how kind and humble you are! Im a beginner lash tech and hearing your kind words really helps a lot! At the moment my business is so slow but I keep seeing other lash artists being booked up and I am just hoping I get there someday too! I hope you start posting again!🥰
Jena is literally the best in the game ! Even if there’s others just as great she’s not affraid of teaching us and sharing her knowledge. I SWEAR everything I watch one of her videos and then lash I get better and better! Thank you ☺️🫶🏽
The lash community is blessed to have you !!
Oh my GOSH!!! That is so freaking sweet of you!!! Thank you SO much!!!! I really appreciate you!!! I’m so happy that you like our videos!!! I promise, making more is on the agenda!!!!
You are a great teacher. Love how detailed you are. As a newbie, you have been VERY helpful. Thank you. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
This is literally the best video that explains this video so well, thank you for this!!!
Oh my gosh, thank you so freaking much! I really appreciate that more than you know! I’m so happy that it helped you!
Wow, this is the first hour long video that I’ve ever watched all the way until the end! Such a helpful, informative video that I couldn’t find anywhere else! And I LOVE how honest and down to earth you are! You gained a subscriber for that alone! Thankyou so much, you are amazing and such an easygoing person and I love that so much about you!
I would love to see an attachment video by you with this kind of detail!! You really have a great way of explaining things. I keep hearing contradictions about placement with lashes that are either crystallized or Pre/pro made. Some say only attach underneath. Others - only on top and then others - to the side. I’d love to see your technique! Thanks for all you do!!
OK that is a great idea! I am putting it on my list! You will get fantastic attention if you place it properly. But I think that there are different areas on the Iowa different method should be used… Just it looks nice and clean. But again totally just my opinion… But I have just done so many trial and error and seeing what works best for my clients… And I would love to share that with you guys!
This video was god sent. thank you so much! I love your teaching style. I feel much more confident after watching this video.
You are very informative. Thank you. The world needs more people like you
Thank you so much! That really means a lot and that was really really sweet of you to say. I really appreciate that that more than you know! I’m really happy that this is so helpful for you!
I’ve watched this video several times, I’m a student and I was almost giving up on this course but ur sure an amazing teacher.
Holy moly! Thank you SO much! I really really appreciate that. Don’t give up! It’s hard for everyone at first. I promise. And sometimes it’s hard after years. People just don’t like when people think they’re struggling so they pretend it’s all so wonderful 🥰🥰🥰
Omg!! Haha this is what I 𝐻𝐴𝑇𝐸𝐸 about “pinchers“ - they ALWAYS make it look so, so easy!!! I just can’t get the hang of it, no matter how much I practice! 😤
Thank you for the tips & the video though! Hopefully this is the “missing piece” and I’ll finally get the technique down!!
❤❤❤
xoxo
If you take an in person class with me, you’ll be pinching in 10 minutes 😍 GUARANTEED
I love how you said , its so many people faking,, I'm one of those people who is very hard on myself and the people that has been in this industry for years are making the newbies feel like omg how can u not get this, i have been doing hair since i was 12 and sometimes i have a hard time.. but honety is everything.
Thank you for explaining it so well. This video has really helped me. Thanks again!!
Thank you for making this video. It’s so easy to understand!!
Oh my gosh THANK YOU!!!! You’re the sweetest!!! I’m so glad it helped!!!!
I love your attitude! Thanks for the detailed tutorial
Oh my gosh, THANK YOU, Janet-poo!!! That’s super sweet!!!!!
I tbh wasn't thinking that the video would help me cz I'm having such a hard time doing fans but it actually did, it's so much easier for me now! Thank you sooo much💗💗💗
This was really good!! And yes I'm that girl that keeps taking classes to perfect the fan. This video was awesome.
Thank you SO much Dwanna!! I’m so happy it helped you!!! I was SO that girl, too. AND the last to ‘get it’ in every class. I know how frustrating it is!!! So glad it helped 🥰🥰🥰
I love how you taught this! Thank you
Thank you so much!!!! I really appreciate that!??
Honestly you eliminated my fear of making fans😊 so much appriciation❤❤❤
Your amazing! I just come across this video, inspirational ❤️ thankyou
Omg THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I’m so happy that it helped you!!!!
You did a phenomenal job!
Thank you so much I love your explanation it really makes sense how you explain it
Oh my gosh!!! Thank you!!!! I’m so happy it was helpful!!!
You are a wonderful teacher!
I love your Channel thank you for teaching us I can't wait to see other videos of yours
Oh my gosh thank you so much! I know I need to do more videos… I just need to find the time but I promise I will! Thank you so much for all of your comments!
She said a lot of great things in the beginning but the video rly starts at 14:50 You’re welcome 😜
Omg!! Thank you so much! I thought the thicker side of the fans meant I was doing them wrong 😂
Thank you for the info. The more you know makes it so much easier and makes you feel so confident 💕 this is the first time I’ve seen any of your videos, where do YOU usually place your fans? Side, top, bottom??? 😊
This made my day!!!! I usually place in the side so I can make the fans tall and skinny- it makes the top view look cleaner 😍😍
Thank you so much for this video it changed my life
Oh my gosh that made my day!!!!!!! I’m so happy it helped!!!!
I just took my training last weekend and you have by far become my favorite channel! My question: for a spike..exact same process except for skipping opening your tweezer to open the fan? Would you crystallize the exact same way?
You totally can! I think it just depends on whatever your preference is. My personal preference is to wrap the spike because it’s really easy to do. So I just pull the spike off dip it into the glue and go straight to the pre-isolated natural lash. But it doesn’t have to be done that way… I think that it’s just quicker to do it this way. I am so excited… I am going to Texas to train with my friend Chris (That Lash Guy) pro… And we are going to try to each other on our best method so that we can both offer each other’s styles. It’s going to be so awesome because I’m really excited to be able to offer the flower bouquet method!
this video was SO helpful i wish i would’ve watched it before i paid for my course lol !!
this is SO helpful!
Oh my gosh!!! Thank you Kimmie!!!! I’m so happy it helped you!!!!
Thank you so much for this video ❤️
Oh my gosh you’re so welcome!!
You are so sweet and very nice thank you for offering your help so much I appreciate
You are SO welcome!!! Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate you!!!
Thank you so much for this video! Can you do a video on different fans? like closed/narrow/wet etc.
Absolutely!!!!
I greatly appreciate how vulnerable you are when it comes to accepting not everyone will get it right away but it’s not impossible. I struggle with the pinching method because of my sweaty hands, my base is skinny in the front but kind of bigger in the back. Is it supposed to be that way according to this tutorial? If so I’ve been really hard on myself for no reason 😂
Oh my gosh if you struggle with pinching, you should follow us on TickTock! We are just @socolashes And we are doing a free workshop on pinching I believe it’s Wednesday, September 21 at 11:30 AM Pacific standard time? You can head to your Instagram and our TickTock to figure out the date… And we also have the option to buy a $99 kit and you also will get a certificate of completion! But you totally don’t have to buy anything to follow along and you can use your own product if you want!
@@SoCoLashes I just followed on tiktok! Will be putting it in my reminder that would be 2:30pm for me here NYC. Thank you so much 🥰
Omg thank you for that video ❤️
Omg Thank you so much!!!!
Thanks for this video, its really helped me
This video has been helpful, do you apply the lash in glue again to place on client?
Great information ty
This is the motivation I needed today! Thank you for this video for honesty and mentorship 🫶🏽 your a Gem!!!
Omgggg THANK YOU!!! I really appreciate it!!!!!!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who has taken so many volume classes and not gotten it!
Question- if you crystallize then you can’t wrap, right? I thought wrapping was super important for retention.
You’re SO not alone!!! Okay so this is the endless debate; who’s work holds up better: Russian Volume or Wrapping. I don’t think either will ever admit who is better! Haha but I think a physical wrap with the lashes (when the lashes wrap around the NL) OR a physical wrap with the adhesive (using enough to wrap around the NL) are the same. It has more to do with a perfect placement and the proper amounts of the correct adhesive than anything. 😍
That’s totally just my opinion though!! 😍😍
The .04 are the best lashes!!! Fan beautifully
Omggg yes!! They’re literally my FAVORITE!!!!!!! I’m so glad you’re loving them!!!
Great job thanks❤
Thanks for your help ☺️ God bless you 🥇☦️🙌🕊
Wow
Thnx a lot for all details
Aww thank you so much!!! I’m so happy you loved it!
Wow your place is so beautiful I love it very very nice
Oh my gosh!! Two things! First- I’m SO sorry I missed your comment. I really appreciate you coming by and supporting my page. And two, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I really appreciate you!!!! It’s been two decades in the making and it’s really special to us ✨✨✨
Fab content!!! Xx
Oh my gosh thank you so much!
Can you please do a video on how to map for cat eye and best curls to use please please
Great video
I am so glad I found your videos I was about to give up because it's so hard for me to even make a fun the tools that I get on Amazon there are so horrible I need to find a good resource for my tools my lashes you say they need to be good product will you please tell me what's the good product on lashes and thank you
DON’T GIVE UP!!! You just have to fund the way your brain learns and it will all make sense!! I’m a.d.d. and learning is really difficult for me.
@@SoCoLashes thanks so much
Retention video please! Love the video
That’s actually a really fantastic idea! Thank you so much for the idea! I’ve been eating inspirational at least I really appreciate it!
I love you 💝. thank you for your good words
Hey so I’m having trouble with opening the tweezer just a tiny bit to create the fan. I seem to be opening it to much where the lashes just fall out the tweezer. If you get wat I’m saying wat should I do?
Hi!!! What tweezers are you using? It could be the tweezers. If they’re not perfectly balanced it won’t allow the fan to create itself properly. If you send me an email at jena@socolashes.com we are changing our tweezers to one for $35 or 2 for $40! This will be our tweezers prices indefinitely 🥰 It could also be the lashes. Quality of tweezers and lashes are really important. I prefer our SOCO .04 lashes because they do half of the work for you.
Do you redip in glue to attach to lash or is there enough to apply to lash after pinching?
Yes exactly!!! I created the fan, then I dipped it to attach. Does that make sense? 😍
I learned fanning off the strip when I took my volume course and didn’t like it/ pick on it very well and have had better luck with pinching. But ever so often the lashes “jump/cross over” when I release tension trying to create a fan and I don’t know how to recover it enough so I have to toss it. Can you tell me where I’m going wrong? I definitely feel like I struggle on the release for the fanning.
So you think it’s your tweezers? If the pick up is off and the they aren’t perfectly balanced, this can happen. If you want a tweezer discount code, let me know!!!
I would appreciate that a lot!
Omg perfect timing!!! We are doing our 20% Labor Day Sale!!!! Code: LA22 😀😀😀
Are they normal lashes or easy fans?
❤ For all us hard learners. 😊
Awww yay!!!! Thanks girl!!!!!!
Pls are you selling all around a world?and what mm you use to make fans?can we make it with smaller?
So you crystallize and then redid to apply?
Yes! Exactly!! ❤️❤️
My tweezers seem to start out fine but after 30 minutes of use I find they loose their shape and stop grabbing lashes. Is this normal?
They likely have glue in the tips. Even if there is one hair stick in between it will throw off your grub because it’s so precise. Just clean the tips. I’ll post a short to show and EASY way to speak the tips, even if they look completely clean. You’d be surprised at how much comes off! 😍
I am a visual learner. I have to see an example before I fully understand the concept.
Psa for anyone impatient like me
Fanning starts at 21:30
How can I email you what you said in the beginning really touched me and I would really like to email you ? I’m not sure how I don’t have social media besides CZcams and TikTok but you mentioned being able to email you and that you actually respond yourself ! Can you point me into the direction where I can find information to email you ! ❤❤😊
I hear you about shaking but I ran out of batteries for my glue shaker last month and ever one who came back had worst retention not bad but not as good.
What glue are you using? I’ve never had that issue with any we have everything carried! That sucks! B
@@SoCoLashes Bella lash diamond. I
@@SoCoLashes i mean it wasn’t bad it just was not as good and it could have been something else. Lol. Idk.
@@SoCoLashes but have you ever used a glue shaker
These are obviously gorgeous but MOBILESTYLES #clients sometimes notice these #lashesextensions fall faster than smaller fans. Thank you for the #lashestutorial. 🌞
Hi! I’m not sure what you mean by that 🥰
But cyanoakrylate is posinus to the human body, arent yall scared to get contact allergy after a while lashing like this for years?
I see people who have been doing it for over a decade, myself for 8 years. I don’t have yet a sensitivity, but that’s a. Great question!
I have a friend that does some times have a reaction to the glue, so she bought Flonase and uses it a few minutes before her appointment and it’s been helping with the reaction so far
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can’t thank you enough!! classes are so expensive and for someone like me who is just starting it seems almost impossible to save enough money. Again thank you it means the world! 🥹🤎
Oh my gosh, well then this video was for YOU!!! Was it helpful?? 😍😍😍
@@SoCoLashes super helpful! Love that you demonstrate everything it makes it easier to understand 😊 Thank you again!
Aahh thank you!!!!! I appreciate you!!!
I'm in the same boat. It's hard to save up and all I want to do is be a lash tech so I can be able to support my kids.
Girl taking classes sometime don’t work 😫😫
An hour video of nothing but insightful information? Thank you so so much!!!!!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much!!!!!! I really appreciate that!!!
