Why Light Curing Adhesive?
& why it’s the best thing ever!
Your comfort, safety, and lash health matter to me—and that’s exactly why I use a light-curing adhesive system for all my lash sets.
Traditional lash glue can release strong fumes that cause irritation, this adhesive is made with up to 40% less of the chemical that’s known to cause sensitivities while traditional adhesives still have about 90%. Instead of letting the glue dry on its own, I use a gentle purple light to instantly cure each lash as it’s applied to reduce exposure of any irritating fumes to the eye.
What does that mean for you?
No fumes during your appointment
Less risk of irritation or allergic reactions
Longer-lasting lashes—some of my clients can go up to 4 weeks between fills!
This system was created with your health and safety in mind—and it’s backed by science, not just trends.
It's a win-win—for your lashes, your skin, and your experience! 🕊️

Washing your lashes is SUPER easy and requires 4 steps. Luckily, you can do this at the sink or in the shower. Gather the following: lash cleanser, cleansing brush, lash wand, syringe bottle, mini fan, and a face towel.
Step 1: Pump cleanser onto your closed eyelid, ensuring it's for eyelash extensions only. New clients receive a complimentary bottle with their first appointment!
Step 2: Use the lash brush to gently stroke your lashes downward as well as in a circular motion targeting the top and bottom of the lash line. When done wipe off any excess soap with the brush.
Step 3: Hold the towel under your eye, then rinse your lashes with the syringe bottle to remove the soap. Ensure there's no makeup residue. Repeat on the other eye!
Step 4: Use the mini fan and lash wand to brush and dry your lashes. If you don’t have a mini fan, no biggie! Just pat the lashes with your face towel, let them air dry and brush them out. All done!
Btw it's totally normal for some lashes to shed during a cleanse! It’s a refresher for your lashes. ♡
