Im using the Flash lash glue is this one different to the one I'm using. Im happy with the flash Lash glue but interested in the difference.

Hey Maxine...good to hear from you!

Its a totally different glue. Takes longer to dry, much thicker consistancy and lasts 2-3 weeks between fills. No fume/vapours. Great for clients that have eyes that water all time or are very sensitive.

Hi Tami

After using the flash runny glue, I'm not sure I want to go back to the thicker gloopy stuff .... I LOVE it!

Yeah I know Fran,
I'm still having a love affair with my Flash Lash glue.
But we need to offer variety and choice for client needs.

Im sold too. I've tried heaps, but nothing compares to the Flash Lash

i've been using the novalash adhesive.. hated it.. too thick and takes forever to dry!! I love the thinner setting adhesive.. less separating!!! And a lot faster dry time.

Hi Marocco, welcome If you like thinner glues that dry fast - you will love the flash glue. My fills are coming in ever 4 weeks with about 70-80% of the extensions still on. I found that it does dry in 3 seconds- so I get heaps less lashes sticking together. For $78 a bottle that lasts over 8months, I think its great value too.

[marocco]

cool > I will give a a try when I need to get a new bottle. I am currently using lashfx. Love it.. I hope my clients can book every 3-4.I just did a full set in less than 90 minutes.. the client had really easy lashes to deal with.. they were gorgeous! I really love the thinner adhesives!!!

[flirties]

Can some one please tell me if the flash lash glue has fumes that make the clients eyes sting and water,

Hello everyone, another newbie member here

[eyecandy]

hey flirt (cute name) the flash glue does not make my clients eyes sting if they keep their eyes closed when I'm lashing them. I dry their eyes off for a few mins before they open and its all good.

Hi Lash Me - welcome the the Lash Chat.
Since you have asked me several questions, I will break it down into point form for you.

i hav read about the stuff thats in it formaldehyde
Yes formaldehyde is primarily a preservative. It is also been labeled a carcenogenic - cancer causing.
Lash Adhesives do not touch the skin (only the hair), therefore it has no ill effects to the health of your client.

formaldehyde - can cause cancer or even kill the lash roots so people end up with sparse lashes over time are your glues
Because adhesives do not touch the skin - it does not effect the health of the natural lashes. After all ,natural lashes/hair is already 'Dead hardened kerotin'. The health of the natural lashes is effected by 'Maderosis'. The medical name 'MADEROSIS' - is the environmental factors that cause sparse lashes caused by too much weight on the natural lashes. Even excessive application of mascara, lash curlers and rough eye makeup removal can cause Maderosis. When we are talking about eyelash exensions, weakening of the natural lashes is caused by POOR lash length/thickess choices. If the extensions you applying are too thick/heavy or if they are over extended by more than 80%, the lashes can become finer, thinner and sparse. However in most cases the lashes grow back to the same thickness/length after the correct extensions have been reapplied to suit the natural lashes. Say a 0.10mm or 0.15mm thickness would be ideal.

are your glues free of this stuff
ALL adhesives contain formaldehyde! - even ours.
It is added in the production of the adhesive. Without formaldehyde, the glue dries up during the manufacturing. The formaldehyde is then distilled out of the end product. Minimal traces are left in the adhesive.

do you get your clients to sign papers of ome sort not to hold you responsible
I have all my clients sign a 'waiver release form' when they have a new full set.

were can i get them
If you would like a copy of the one that I use, please email me and I would be happy to send it to you as an attachment.

some companys state that there is none of that formaldehyde in it
Nothing more than a Marketing scam.....As mentioned above it is the primary ingredient Neccessary to make lash extension adhesives. Some adhesives have as little as 0.05g - However NO supplier can make the claim that their glue is 100% formaldehyde free, as it is added in the manufacturing.

how long can a person have extensions on for do u recommend a rest for a few months
Its a bit like acrylic nails. Some people take them off and have a full set reapplied months later. If the lash stylist knows what she/he is doing and is not overburdeoning the natural lashes with excessive weight, then there is no need to 'have a rest'. This is a waist of money for the client and likely to have them not continue after you remove them.

what does it mean that it is korean government approved
When Eyelash extensions first come from Korea, the Chinese started inventing their own adhesives which were extremely high in formaldehyde and then selling them back to the Koreans. It was not manufactured correctly and there were many injuries as a result. The Korean Government stepped in and took control of the situation and had to regulate the industry. Our adhesives/ingredients are approved by the registery.

I hope that all the above helps you understand a little more about your questions.
If you need anything else, please let me know.
Tami
