10 Instagram Strategies Every Lash Artist Needs to Boost Bookings and Build a Loyal Clientele
Instagram isn’t just a platform for pretty pictures – it’s a powerful marketing tool that can turn your lash extension artistry into a thriving business. Here’s how you can use Instagram to promote your services, attract new clients, and build a loyal customer base.
1. Create a Stunning Portfolio Feed
Your Instagram feed is your digital business card. Make sure every post showcases your best work. Use consistent lighting, clear close-up shots, and before-and-after comparisons to highlight your lash sets.
Lash Pro Tip: Keep your lash supplies organised with the I AM Lash PRO Lash Palette, perfect for displaying lash lengths and curls for those eye-catching flat lays.
2. Highlight Client Transformations
Before-and-after photos are powerful tools for building credibility. Show potential clients the impact of your work by capturing transformations.
Content Idea: Post a before-and-after using the I AM Lash PRO Sheer Clear Lash Glue, which delivers a seamless, natural finish perfect for dramatic transformations.
3. Offer Educational Content to Establish Expertise
Educate your audience with valuable lash care tips. Not only does this build trust, but it also positions you as a lash expert in your area.
Examples:
- How to care for lash extensions to extend retention.
- What to avoid after getting a lash set.
- Why choosing the right adhesive, like I AM Lash PRO Addict Lash Glue, can make a difference in retention.
4. Use Instagram Stories to Promote Last-Minute Appointments
Got a few open slots this week? Use Instagram Stories to announce last-minute availability. Add a “Book Now” sticker for easy client booking.
Content Idea:
“✨ Last-minute spots available for Friday! Book now and get a complimentary I AM Lash PRO aftercare kit.”
5. Go Live to Showcase Your Lash Expertise
Instagram Live is a great way to connect with potential clients and showcase your skills in real time. Consider hosting a live session where you:
- Demonstrate a lash set application.
- Answer common lash extension FAQs.
- Show how you use the I AM Lash PRO Volume Tweezers to create flawless volume fans.
6. Share Client Testimonials and Reviews
Social proof is key to attracting new clients. Repost client feedback, before-and-after photos, and tagged stories. Highlight how your services made them feel more confident and glamorous.
7. Run a Limited-Time Offer or Giveaway
Create urgency with a flash sale or giveaway to boost bookings and brand visibility.
Example:
“🚨 FLASH SALE: Book a full volume set this weekend and receive a 20% discount! DM to book your spot.”
Or, run a giveaway:
“💖 GIVEAWAY TIME: Win a full set of lashes + a lash care kit featuring the I AM Lash PRO Lash Cleanser. To enter:

8. Collaborate with Local Influencers or Beauty Pros
Partner with local influencers or beauty professionals to reach a wider audience. Offer them a complimentary set of lashes in exchange for a post or story shoutout.
Tip: Create a branded hashtag like #IAMLashPROArtist and encourage them to use it in their posts.
9. Showcase Your Expertise Through Educational Reels
Reels are highly favored by Instagram’s algorithm. Use them to:
- Demonstrate lash application techniques.
- Share common lash myths vs. facts.
- Showcase a dramatic before-and-after using the I AM Lash PRO Deep Brown Eyelash Extensions for clients seeking a softer, natural look.
10. Optimise Your Bio and Link in Bio
