Classic and Volume Tweezers may look identical, but they’re not! When it comes to Volume, the tweezer is a make it or break it. Even the most skilled Lash Artist will not be able to create volume fans with the wrong tweezers. Volume Tweezers are more expensive, as they are created with precision so it can pick up those ultra-fine extensions.
Volume Tweezers have a “sweet spot”, where the foot of the tweezer closes completely. The foot is completely flush, so it can grab onto the entire volume fan without it falling apart or losing any lashes. Tweezers are handmade, so the “sweet spot” will vary on every tweezer even if it’s from the same manufacturer. It’s best to purchase tweezers that are hand tested, so you’re guaranteed to receive a pair that works properly.
