About the Author Chrystal is a Registered Massage Therapist in British Columbia and the owner of both Aspect Health & Registered Massage Therapy, and Clashes! Eyelash Extensions. While Chrystal has always been an avid learner and casual writer, she wrote her first book The Clashes Eyelash Extension Manual after she fell into the lash extension industry almost by mistake. Chrystal suffered a somewhat traumatic injury to her leg and ankle, which resulted in some permanent changes and chronic pain that meant she could no longer offer massage therapy full-time. With her clinic sitting unused 4-days a week, offering lash extensions seemed like the perfect fit! And she was right, except after doing a little research and then paying heavily (just short of $1000) for a condensed one-on-one course with a seasoned instructor, it turns out the lash extension industry is totally unregulated, which means, there are no consumer guarantees and no set standards for education or practice! Chrystal feels eyelash extension artists should be more knowledgeable and better prepared in case something does go wrong and throughout her massage therapy education and practice Chrystal has become familiar with the anatomy and physiology of the eyeballs, eyelashes and skin surrounding the eyes. She is well versed on pathological conditions, diseases, contraindications and other reasons why you may not be a suitable candidate for eyelash extensions. Combining current research and previous education Chrystal is pleased to present you with this information!
