Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This is a non-provisional application of U.S. Provisional
Application No. 62/484,788, filed Apr. 12, 2017, the entirety of
which is incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(1) Field of Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to eyelash extensions and,
more particularly, to a method for applying eyelash extensions to a
user's natural eyelashes by multiple technicians.
(2) Description of Related Art
[0003] Synthetic eyelash extensions have long been known in the
art. Such synthetic eyelash extensions are adhered to a user's
natural eyelashes to provide a more full look and enhance the
user's appearance. Traditionally, such synthetic eyelash extensions
are applied by a single technician. This is important as the single
technician is a master of their own technique and, as a result,
capable of applying the eyelash extensions evenly between both
eyes. A problem with using a single eyelash technician however
results in inefficiencies due to the need to only apply lashes to a
single eye at a time.
[0004] Thus, a continuing need exists for a method for applying
eyelash extensions to a user's natural eyelashes by multiple
technicians to decrease the application processing time
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
[0005] The present invention relates to eyelash extensions and,
more particularly, to a method for applying eyelash extensions to a
user's natural eyelashes by multiple technicians. Specifically, the
method includes accts of attaching, by a first eyelash technician,
one or more eyelash extensions to a subject's natural lashes at a
first eye of the subject; and attaching, by a second eyelash
technician, one or more eyelash extensions to the subject's natural
lashes at a second eye of the subject.
[0006] In another aspect, in attaching the first and second eyelash
extensions, each of the first and second eyelash technicians are
positioned on opposite sides of the subject.
[0007] In another aspect, in attaching the first and second eyelash
extensions, each of the first and second eyelash technicians are
positioned substantially symmetrically on opposite sides of the
subject.
[0008] Finally, as can be appreciated by one in the art, the
present invention also comprises a method for forming and using the
invention described herein.

(1) Description
[0017] The present invention relates to eyelash extensions and,
more particularly, to a method for applying eyelash extensions to a
user's natural eyelashes by multiple technicians. As shown in FIG.
1, this invention is directed to a method for applying eyelash
extensions in which two or more technicians 100 and 100' are
working simultaneously on a single subject 102. Desirably, one
eyelash technician 100 or 100' is assigned to each eye 104 or 104',
such that each eyelash technician 100 and 100' is working on a
single eye 104 or 104' at the same time as the other eyelash
technician 100 or 100'. This way the subject 102 is able to proceed
through the eyelash extension process in approximately half the
time since two technicians 100 and 100' are working
simultaneously.
[0018] The method of using two technicians 100 and 100' to applying
eyelashes simultaneously can be applied to any eyelash extension
application method in which eyelash extensions are applied to the
subject's 102 both eyes 104 and 104'. As a non-limiting example,
U.S. Pat. No. 7,600,519 (the '519 patent), entitled, "Eyelash
Extensions and Method for Applying Eyelash Extensions," (which is
incorporated herein by reference) discloses a process by which
eyelash extensions are applied to both of the user's eyes. The
method described herein can be applied to the method of the '519
patent or any other eyelash extension application method. For
example regarding the '519 patent, one technician 100 would perform
the described steps as directed to one eye 104 (including taping
up, taping down, applying extensions, cleaning, etc.), while
another technician 100' would perform all the steps as directed to
the other eye 104' including taping up, taping down, applying
extensions, cleaning, etc.). In other words, using the invention of
this disclosure, one technician 100 applies eyelash extensions to
the natural lashes of one eye 104 while the other technician 100'
applies eyelash extensions to the natural lashes of the other eye
104', thereby decreasing application times and increasing
efficiencies. To assist in each eye resulting in a similar
appearance, it is desirable (although not required) that the
eyelash technicians 100 and 100' train and practice together so
that both eyes 104 and 104' are even. Nevertheless and as can be
appreciated by those skilled in the art, the present invention can
be used with any method in which eyelash extensions are applied to
the user's 102 natural eyelashes so long as two technicians 100 and
100' are used in the process as described above or in the
particular application process as desired. Further, it should be
noted that the technicians 100 and 100' can be positioned at any
suitable location proximate the subject 102. In one example
embodiment, the technicians 100 and 100' are positioned
symmetrically on opposite sides of the subject 102 (as shown in the
top-down view of FIG. 1). In other example embodiments and as shown
in FIG. 2, one technician 100 is positioned above the subject's 102
head while the other technician 100' is positioned to the side of
the subject 102. Thus and as noted above, the two technicians 100
and 100' can be positioned at any suitable location during the
eyelash extension process.
[0019] Finally, while this invention has been described in terms of
several embodiments, one of ordinary skill in the art will readily
recognize that the invention may have other applications in other
environments. It should be noted that many embodiments and
implementations are possible. Further, the following claims are in
no way intended to limit the scope of the present invention to the
specific embodiments described above. In addition, any recitation
of "means for" is intended to evoke a means-plus-function reading
of an element and a claim, whereas, any elements that do not
specifically use the recitation "means for", are not intended to be
read as means-plus-function elements, even if the claim otherwise
includes the word "means". Further, while particular method steps
have been recited in a particular order, the method steps may occur
in any desired order and fall within the scope of the present
invention
