What glue/adhesive do you use?
The type of adhesive used for bonding the extensions to your natural lashes is extremely important for several reasons. First, it is important to use a medical grade adhesive that is safe, will bond correctly and will not damage the natural lashes. Second, the right type of adhesive will ensure that the extensions will stay on for the longest possible time until you naturally shed your lashes. A cheap adhesive will work against these important things because cheap adhesives don't meet the safety requirements, will not bond the lashes correctly causing them to fall off faster and could potentially damage the natural lashes. Big NO-Nos!
Unfortunately, I have found out that many of these lash salons out there cut corners here in order to help their bottom line not realizing they are only hurting their business and potentially their clients by using cheap adhesive. If you don't believe me, just go read previous employee reviews of these salons where they mention the cheap products they use among other negative things pointed out. It is also no wonder that their client reviews often complain about how easily and how fast their lash extensions fall off. In this business, it's all about safety of the client first and foremost but also retention, retention, retention! Who wants to pay all that money and not get good quality service that will last!? I leave the answer to you.
With all this, I want to assure you that I only invest in the best for my clients because I care about their safety and I want them to be completely satisfied when their extensions remain attached for as long as possible until it falls off with their natural lash. This is why I use a medical grade adhesive by my awesome girl, Elena, at Lashmakers.com who also trained me in the Russian Volume technique. Her product is amazing and used by many top independent lash artists like me. It is one of the top products in the market.

I wanted to share this information as I believe it is important for my clients to know what product I am using so close to their precious eyes. I hope this was informative and will give you peace of mind if you ever wondered about this.
Until the next post.
Lash you later!
