Must have glue accessories
Lash adhesives are one of the most important goods all lash technicians should have. They are very sensitive and can easily dry out if you leave the bottle open for a long time. Some even need to be mixed with enhancers. It is necessary to make sure your lash glues always have the right consistency, are stored properly, and applied at the optimal temperature. In order for these things to happen, you will need the proper lash accessories. Here are 5 glue accessories to help you out:
Adhesive pin
This small tool might not seem too much but it is really helpful. It will save you a lot of time screwing on and off the lid of your lash adhesives during the application. Simply place the adhesive pin at the tip of your lash glue. It will keep it clean and clog-free. In addition, it will provide easy access to your lash glue.
Adhesive mixer
Thoroughly mixing a lash glue is needed in order to make sure every lash extension is properly applied. That is why an adhesive mixer is very important. This will decrease the effort you exert into mixing the solution by hand. Plus, you can be sure your adhesive is mixed properly and thoroughly.
Glue storage container
An airtight container is need to keep your lash adhesives away from moisture which can affect its consistency and effectiveness. We all know that properly storing your lash glues will lengthen the life of your lash glues. It means your adhesives will last longer and you will have a wider variety of lash adhesives to choose from.
Even the smallest amount of exposure to light, heat, and humidity can cause your lash adhesives to spoil. That is why all lash technicians should have a glue shuttle to make sure the cyanoacrylate in your adhesive will remain fresh and ready to be used. The cyanoacrylate is very sensitive to light, heat, and humidity and if exposed, the bond will break causing early spoiling.
Glue drop palette
A glue drop palette will make clean-up a breeze. All you need to do is place a few drops of the adhesive into the drop palette and you can easily access it while you apply each lash. This will help make your work easier, convenient, and faster while keeping your adhesive always fresh.
Glue wipes
Are there glue drops remaining at the tip or nozzle of your lash adhesive? Don’t just use anything to wipe it out. This is where glue wipes come in! They are lint-free so you can be sure there is no cotton or lint left behind the nozzle and tip. Glue wipes are an easy way to clean your adhesives without causing any reaction to your adhesive.
Just like how your client needs to take care of their lash extensions, you as a lash artist also need to look after your supplies, tools, and products you use. You have to make sure all of them are sanitized and clean. That includes your lash adhesives for longer retention and satisfied clients.
