The Truth about Pre-made Fan Lashes!
There is a lot of pre-conception when it comes to pre-made volume fan lashes…
They are often called ‘cluster’ lashes.
Pre-made volume fan lashes are stand-alone hugely popular lash! (NOT cluster lashes!)
Pre-made volume fans are a great go-to lash, for many lash technicians!
A very versatile lash that creates super-quick volume & mixed with classics creates Hybrid lashes.
Using a good professional branded pre-made volume fan will make all the difference.
A professional, pre-made volume fan will have a lovely heat-bonded, seamless stem.
Offering great lash retention without thick, clumpy, heavy stems/base!!
Purchasing a low-cost, non-professional pre-made volume fan is not recommended due to their quality & poor lash retention!
Introduction to Pre-made volume fans…
AHFrancis introduced pre-made volume fans nearly a decade ago & CEO Karen was definitely against them!
Karen was so used to making her volume fans & thought that pre-made volume fans were cheating!!
Pre-made volume fans had a bad reputation, damaging the natural lash & Karen was very resistant to introducing them to AHF.
After meeting with her suppliers at the International Beauty Show & lots of research & development.
Karen changed her tune completely…
Of course, It has been trial & error & some of the suppliers she found were better than others.
Finally, Karen found a supplier that offers the highest-quality pre-made volume fans out there!
Karen offered lots of refresher workshops & Zoom calls AHF customers & pre-made volume fans became best-sellers & still are to this day!
As this trending lash progressed & the demand grew, so did the lash pack sizes, curls, lengths & lash thicknesses.
Hybrid lashes are such a popular lash & mixing a pre-made volume fan with a classic lash is so quick & easy & a real game-changer!
Pre-made volume fans do take the fuss & faff out of volume lashes saving time & creating more salon revenue!

Q. YES, pre-made volume fans are super-easy to apply, we recommend the lash ‘dipping’ method rather than the coating & bonding method used for classic lashes.

There are a variety of fan dimensions from 3D up to 10D & a variation of thicknesses & lengths which will enable you to create your own bespoke set of lashes!
