Lash Extension Tweezers: How to Choose Straight and Curved

Пинцеты для наращивания ресниц ONRIAL: прямой, изогнутые Mini-L и «Голливуд»

Updated: October 8, 2026 · LashMaker team, ONRIAL brand representative in Israel

Lash extensions need at least two tweezers: straight ones to isolate (separate) the natural lash, and curved ones to pick up an extension or form a fan. Classic sets work with a classic curved tweezer, volume with L-shaped models such as Mini-L 45 and Mini-L 90, and mega volume with the ultra-thin Hollywood. Below is a table of ONRIAL tweezers and tips on choosing and care.

Why a lash artist needs two tweezers

You work with both hands at the same time:

  1. Straight tweezers in one hand separate one natural lash from its neighbors — this is isolation. Good isolation prevents stickies, which make lashes grow out unevenly and fall out sooner.
  2. Curved tweezers in the other hand pick up the extension (or form a fan), dip it in glue and place it on the isolated natural lash.

So a starter set is straight tweezers plus one curved pair that suits your technique.

Which curved tweezers to choose

For classic (1:1) and all-round work — Mini-L 90

Mini-L 90 suits many extension techniques: it picks up and separates lashes precisely and forms fans easily. The tips close softly without much force, so your hand gets less tired over a long working day. The model has a heat-resistant coating.

For volume and eye corners — Mini-L 45

Mini-L 45 is designed for volume extensions: it makes forming fans easy, which noticeably speeds up the work. The bend angle is convenient for the inner and outer corners of the eye, which are harder to reach with a straight tool.

For mega volume — Hollywood

The ultra-thin Hollywood tweezers are made for mega volume. Their shape is designed for maximum precision and easy pick-up of thin 0.03–0.05 mm lashes used for fluffy fans. Which lash thickness to use for mega volume — see our curl, thickness and length cheat sheet.

How to check tweezers

  • The tips close evenly, with no gap or misalignment — otherwise the lash will slip.
  • Grip along the whole working tip: the tweezers should hold a single thin lash securely.
  • Comfort in the hand: the tips close without effort and the tweezers don't slip from your fingers.
  • Working area for fans on volume tweezers: enough space to form and hold a fan.

Tweezer care and sterilization

  • Sterilize the tweezers after every client.
  • All ONRIAL tweezers can be sterilized with dry hot air in a dry heat sterilizer. Use kraft pouches with indicators and do not exceed the permitted temperature from the instructions.
  • Start working with the tweezers only after they have fully cooled down.
  • Store and carry tweezers in cases with silicone tip caps.
  • Protect them from drops and hits against hard surfaces: after an impact the tips stop closing evenly.

Frequently asked questions

How many tweezers do I need for lash extensions?

At least two: straight ones for isolating the natural lash and curved ones for picking up an extension or a fan. Lash artists who do both classic and volume usually keep 2–3 curved tweezers for different tasks.

Which tweezers are used for isolation?

Straight ones. They separate one natural lash from its neighbors so an extension can be attached without stickies. For example, the ONRIAL Profi straight tweezers.

Which tweezers are best for volume lashes?

L-shaped curved tweezers such as Mini-L 45: they make forming fans easy and are convenient for the eye corners. For mega volume — the ultra-thin Hollywood.

Which tweezers suit a beginner lash artist?

The Profi straight tweezers for isolation and the all-round curved Mini-L 90, which suits many techniques including classic. Our lash glue guide is also useful when you start.

How do I sterilize lash extension tweezers?

After every client. ONRIAL tweezers are sterilized with dry hot air in a dry heat sterilizer, in kraft pouches with indicators, without exceeding the permitted temperature. Use them only after they have fully cooled down.

Why does the lash slip out of the tweezers?

Most often the tips no longer close evenly — for example, after the tweezers were dropped. Store them in a case with silicone tip caps and protect them from impacts.
