Know your glue and control your room. If you haven’t already learned this, the humidity in your room goes hand in hand with the type of glue you use and its effectiveness. We heard from many of you when it got more humid, your glue wasn’t cooperating. This is why we offer multiple glue options for different humidity’s. It is important to have the right equipment to control your room, and keep an eye on how it holds the humidity long term.

Give your clients recommendations to enhance the life of their lashes.

• Don’t touch them, don’t rub your eyes
• Planning on going swimming? Give yourself at least 48 hours to be safe. If you can avoid it don’t put your head underwater, or wear large goggles
• Sauna? Please pass, although the glue is set, wait 48 hours or longer
• Avoid using any product on or near the lashes, oils especially can break down the adhesive
• Don’t take a steamy shower and avoid the face. Yes, please clean your face, it is necessary, but avoid touching and rubbing your eyelashes

Technicians are responsible for application and providing aftercare instructions, and the client is responsible for following the direction given.
