How to make a lash extension aftercare card (free)
Every lash client leaves with one question on their mind: “How do I keep these looking good?” A printed or textable aftercare card answers it for them — and quietly markets your studio every time they read it. This free generator lets any lash artist build a professional, branded aftercare card in three steps, with no design skills and no Etsy template to buy.
Three steps
- Add your details. Type your salon name, your name, phone, Instagram and website. Upload your logo if you have one.
- Edit the instructions. We pre-fill the standard lash extension aftercare advice. Change any line to match the adhesive and style you use.
- Download. Pick a business-card or 5×7 size, choose your brand color, then download a print-ready PDF or image to text to clients.
Why every lash artist should give out aftercare cards
Lash retention is the number-one reason clients leave a bad review or never rebook — and most retention problems are aftercare problems, not application problems. When a client gets lashes wet too early, sleeps face-down, or uses an oily cleanser, the extensions slide off and they blame the work. A clear aftercare card sets expectations the moment they leave your chair. It reduces “my lashes fell out” messages, protects your reputation, and gives clients a reason to follow your Instagram and rebook.
A branded card also looks far more professional than a screenshot or a verbal “try to keep them dry.” It signals that you run a real business that cares about results — which is exactly the kind of artist clients refer to their friends.
What to include in lash extension aftercare instructions
While you should always match advice to your own products, most lash artists cover the same essentials:
First 24–48 hours
- Keep lashes completely dry — no water, steam, sweat or tears.
- Avoid saunas, hot yoga, long hot showers and swimming.
- Skip makeup around the eyes while the adhesive fully cures.
Ongoing care
- Cleanse daily with a lash-safe, oil-free foaming cleanser.
- Brush with a clean spoolie each morning to keep lashes neat.
- Avoid oil-based products, waterproof mascara and lash curlers.
- Never pick, pull, or rub the lashes — let shedding happen naturally.
- Sleep on your back or use a silk pillowcase to reduce friction.
Rebooking
Most clients need a fill every two to three weeks as natural lashes shed. Putting the rebooking window on the card turns aftercare into a gentle booking reminder.
Print them or text them
You can print the PDF as standard business cards (3.5×2 in) to tuck into every appointment, or as larger 5×7 cards for a premium touch. Prefer to go paperless? Download the image instead and send it to clients by text or Instagram DM right after their appointment, while aftercare matters most.
