What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of applying eyelash extensions to a client, comprising:
 providing an eyelash extension pallet including a planar surface for receiving strips of eyelash extensions, surface indicia for indexing the strips of eyelash extensions according to thickness and length, and an integrated glue well;   selecting at least one strip of eyelash extensions;   placing the selected at least one strip of eyelash extensions on the pallet according to the surface indicia;   placing at least one drop of eyelash extension glue in the glue well;   positioning the pallet adjacent to head of the client;   isolating a single client eyelash to apply an eyelash extension;   retrieving a single eyelash extension from the at least one strip of eyelash extensions;   dipping the single eyelash extension in the glue well;   dragging the single eyelash extension along an edge of the glue well to remove excess glue; and   placing the single eyelash extension on the isolated client eyelash and releasing.   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , further comprising repeating the isolating, retrieving, dipping, dragging, placing and releasing steps. 
     
     
         3 . An eyelash extension pallet, comprising:
 a front planar surface for receiving strips of eyelash extensions and a back planar surface parallel to the front planar surface;   indicia applied to the front planar surface indicative of thickness and length of new eyelash extensions and used for indexing the new eyelash extensions; and   a glue well disposed below the front planar surface for holding glue.   
     
     
         4 . The eyelash extension pallet according to  claim 3 , wherein the pallet comprises a hard material that may be repeatedly cleaned with acetone. 
     
     
         5 . The eyelash extension pallet according to  claim 4 , wherein the hard material comprises a hard plastic material. 
     
     
         6 . The eyelash extension pallet according to  claim 4 , wherein the hard material comprises polypropylene. 
     
     
         7 . The eyelash extension pallet according to  claim 3 , wherein the indicia are printed on the planar surface. 
     
     
         8 . The eyelash extension pallet according to  claim 3 , wherein the indicia are stamped into the planar surface. 
     
     
         9 . The eyelash extension pallet according to  claim 3 , wherein the indicia are printed on an adhesive sticker, the adhesive sticker adhered to the planar surface. 
     
     
         10 . The eyelash extension pallet according to  claim 3 , wherein the planar surface has a width, W, a height, H, and thickness, T. 
     
     
         11 . The eyelash extension pallet according to  claim 10 , wherein W is about 4″, H is about 7″ and T is about ¼ inch. 
     
     
         12 . The eyelash extension pallet according to  claim 3 , wherein the glue well forms a spherical depression in the pallet surface. 
     
     
         13 . The eyelash extension pallet according to  claim 12 , wherein the glue well has a maximum depth of about 3/16″. 
     
     
         14 . The eyelash extension pallet according to  claim 12 , wherein the glue well comprises a rim, the rim coplanar with the front planar surface, the rim forming a boundary between the front planar surface and the glue well, and the rim having a diameter at the front planar surface of about ⅝″. 
     
     
         15 . The eyelash extension pallet according to  claim 14 , wherein the rim is at least ¼″ from any pallet edge. 
     
     
         16 . The eyelash extension pallet according to  claim 3 , wherein the pallet is rectangular with four edges. 
     
     
         17 . The eyelash extension pallet according to  claim 16 , wherein all edges of the pallet are rounded. 
     
     
         18 . The eyelash extension pallet according to  claim 3 , wherein the glue well is located closer to one corner of the pallet than any other corner. 
     
     
         19 . An eyelash extension pallet, comprising:
 a rectangular polypropylene sheet having front and back planar surfaces, including dimensions of width, W, a height, H, and thickness, T;   indicia applied to the front planar surface indicative of thickness and length of new eyelash extensions; and   a glue well, the glue well having shape of a sliced sphere having a depth, d, disposed within the front planar surface and configured for holding drops of glue, the glue well further comprising a rim, the rim coplanar with the front planar surface, the rim forming a boundary between the front planar surface and the glue well, and the rim having a diameter, D.
