Ring Light – Dimmable 18-Inch Diameter 75W Ring Fluorescent Flash Light Kit with Stand. –No need for that crazy expensive light when this one takes phenomenal photos is completely adjustable and keeps your workspace bright and shadow free! Stool – (Check out the hydraulic bed…comes with a stool!)

Fully Electric Lash Bed/Treatment Table – LCL Beauty Fully Adjustable Electric Bed with stool. – This is my FAVE purchase for the longevity of my lash career and the health of my body. You can fit your knees under it (priority #1 in a lash bed) it’s fully electronically adjustable with a remote (no pumping your foot) for getting different angles on every client and it doesn’t take up as much space as a massage bed! *** BONUS TIP: Add 1-2 layers of memory foam in twin size (or fold a queen in half to save money…here’s my preferred topper: LUCID Memory Foam) to give your clients extra comfort AND give you more room to work next to their head! Check out this video for how I set up mine: Lash Nap Video
