Abstract

A device for providing safety during the process of installing eyelash extensions onto the natural eyelashes of a subject, especially when the installation is automatic. In some embodiments, the placing of extensions is carried out by a robotic mechanism utilizing computer vision, and in some embodiments, a barrier is created between the robotic mechanism and the subject in order to protect the subject in the event of a malfunction.
