Lash Pillows: Why They’re Essential for Business

Why Lash Pillows are a Must for Your Business

You might think that a Lash Pillow is just another accessory for your lash bed, but they’re actually a really fundamental part of the lash salon experience for client comfort and Technicians alike. There are really good reasons for this and we’ll take you through those, as well as letting you know about what is specifically great about our London Lash Pillow, to help you discover why this would be a great investment for your lash studio.

Aesthetics

As simple as it might sound on the surface, having a pretty and professional looking lash salon goes a long way when it comes to first impressions and client satisfaction. Think about it for a second – you walk into a salon and there is mismatched furniture, no cushions on some otherwise hard benches and mess around the place. No matter how good the treatment is, you’re always going to think of the memory you got when you walked in initially. When you tell your friends about it, you’ll say something like ‘Yeah, my lashes look great and I liked the Lash Artist, but it was so messy.’

Now consider that you walked into a salon that was tidy, had soft, pretty furnishings and was designed with your comfort in mind. Let’s assume that you’ve had exactly the same level of service and the Lash Tech was just as good – you’re going to rate the professionally decorated salon higher.

What it comes down to is human psychology and our need for comfort and to be surrounded by pleasing things, whether that’s a scenic garden, being down by the beach or walking into a clean and beautifully decorated salon when you seek a relaxing treatment. 

To help you get your salon looking exactly how you envisioned, we are proud to add our Memory Foam Lash Pillow to our already popular Bed Cover as an essential to stunning and comfortable lash decor. Available in Black or Beige, you can make the choice to fit your salon aesthetic perfectly.

Functionality

Whatever you choose to have in your salon should have some purpose. That might be having some plants to make the place look fresh and lively. A stylish Mirror, cushions scattered around, a Lash Bed Cover and Pillows act in the same way, they make a positive impression on your clients and achieve the ultimate comfort during long treatments.

That being said, what is so great about our Pillow enough to write an entire blog post about it? Let's discuss!

Ergonomic Design

Ergonomic is not just a special word to describe our Lash Pillow. What it really means is that whatever is being discussed has been designed to make the client more comfortable and better supported whilst in the same position for extended periods of time.

The London Lash Memory Foam Pillow has been designed with you and your clients in mind – the soft memory foam insert is squishy enough that your client will be comfortable, but still sturdy enough to actually provide them some support. There is a head-shaped well built in which keeps their head at the right angle and level for you to work comfortably, and there is a sloping neck support which keeps their neck and spine in alignment throughout the treatment, meaning less fidgeting. 

We’ve also been so thoughtful as to make the sides gently slope downwards when the pillow is not in use, which means that when the weight of a head is applied the sides of the pillow become level, providing an even surface for you to keep your Tweezers, Lash Palette and Jade Stone without them ever rolling toward your client’s head. 

The shape of the pillow is really important, simply because supporting your client’s neck and head fully and having them at the correct level for you to work at means that they will feel much better during and after treatment, and you’ll have an easier time keeping your own spine happy.

Health & Safety

As beauty professionals and lash salon owners, cleanliness should be taken seriously, but in recent years, this has become more important than ever, and is absolutely something that clients want to see. 

To that end, in addition to the foam inside our pillows being antibacterial, we’ve also redesigned the cases to be a wipeable Black or Beige Faux-Leather, meaning that you can sanitise after each client – we’ve tested multiple antibacterial and cleansing sprays, so you’ll be good to use anything. This saves you time in washing your pillow cases, and also reduces your paper waste from putting down bedroll for each and every client. 

All in all, how you decorate your salon is a personal choice, but having decor and comfort which not only looks good but does right by your clients can only be a big list of wins.
