Innovation in the lash industry is moving rapidly, with groundbreaking technologies and innovative products setting new eyelash extension application and maintenance standards. From the advent of the UV Lash System, which delivers precision UV lashes, to cutting-edge adhesives and advanced application techniques, these innovations are transforming the way Lash Artists work and the experiences clients receive. Let's take a look at the latest trends and technologies reshaping the lash industry today.
Promade Fans: Revolutionizing Lash Technologies
The introduction of Promade Fans marks a significant advancement in lash technologies. Touted as Korea’s newest development, unlike pre-made fans, pro-made fans are designed with what the creators are calling "wrapping technology," which allows them to wrap around natural lashes, similar to handcrafted Russian Volume fans. These new fans are made from PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), a durable thermoplastic technology developed in Korea; these fans feature a narrow, long stem base that creates a dense lash line, which is said to improve retention. Their slightly wider bases enhance attachment and are bonded 1-6mm above the base to ensure better adhesion of each fiber to the natural lash and the extension fiber.
Promade Fans simplify the application process for Lash Artists and offer clients a fuller, more dramatic lash line. For more information on Promade Fans, you can visit Paris Lash Academy, a trusted Prolong Lash Reseller Partner.
Lash Glue Innovations: Super Bonder Technology
Lash glue, or lash adhesive, is the most critical component of the Lash Artist's toolkit. The latest innovation in lash adhesive is Super Bonder Technology, which introduces bonders that dry adhesives in just 30 seconds and claims to increase retention by up to 30%. These glues cure instantly, sealing in adhesive fumes and reducing irritation for clients sensitive to traditional lash glue. Super Bonder promises improved durability, faster application times, and reduced allergic reactions, making it a game-changer in lash adhesive technology.
If you’re unsure whether these new super-drying bonders are suitable for your level of expertise, you should contact your trusted supplier, who will guide you through the glue maze to help you select the best lash glue and bonder for your level of lashing expertise.
The Innovative Lash Petals
Lash Petals are an ingenious update to the traditionally shaped lash pad. They offer a more realistic and practical way to practice and display lash styles to clients. This clever little change means the shape of the lash pad mimics the curve of an eye. Lash Petals allow artists to create and showcase lash designs more effectively and realistically. They are an excellent tool for training practice sessions and a great visual for client consultations.
Anti-Glare Lash Tiles: Enhancing Work Efficiency
The new anti-glare lash tiles are valuable to any lash artist's toolkit. Traditional lash tiles can reflect overhead lighting, causing distractions and making it difficult for the Lash Artist to see their lash pallet clearly. Anti-glare tiles, with their matte finish and non-slip base, provide a stable and glare-free surface, allowing artists to work more efficiently and comfortably.
UV Lashes: New Cutting-Edge Technology in Eyelash Extensions
The innovative UV Lash System introduces UV Lashes as a significant advancement in eyelash extension technology. This lash application system uses a specialized UV adhesive that cures only when exposed to UV light, ensuring a precise and durable bond without premature drying. The UV lash adhesive, similar to those used in gel nail sets, hardens instantly under a UV LED, creating a strong, lasting bond and reducing the risk of allergic reactions to glue fumes.
Benefits of UV Lashes:
This new technology is definitely a step up from traditional lash application, so it’s worth taking a moment to look at the benefits and considerations before adding UV lashes to your salon's menu of services.
- Faster Application: The UV curing process is quick, reducing overall application time and, hence, appointment times.
- Enhanced Durability: UV adhesive forms an exceptionally strong bond, leading to longer-lasting extensions and confidence in the glue's adhesion upon application.
- Reduced Allergic Reactions: The absence of fumes minimizes the risk of allergic reactions, making it suitable for clients with sensitive eyes or skin.
- Instant Curing: The adhesive sets immediately under UV light, ensuring an efficient and more precise application process.
Considerations of UV Lashes:
- UV Exposure Risks: Industry professionals are concerned about the potential risks of UV exposure to sensitive eye areas, including premature aging and skin damage.
- Equipment Availability: This technology is reasonably new, so choosing the right equipment, whether handheld or standing UV lamps, requires careful consideration. Taking a trial-and-error approach to testing this technology could be costly both financially and to your business reputation if you don’t get it right from the start.
- Health Precautions: Do the research and consult with medical and industry professionals before integrating UV Lashes into your salon service offering.
Special Occasion Lashes: Adding Glamour with Coloured Lash Extensions
Coloured Lash Extensions have been around for many years but, more recently, are gaining popularity for both special occasions and everyday wear, allowing clients to add a touch of glamour to their look. These extensions can be mixed with traditional lashes to highlight eye colour or match an outfit, creating a unique and striking appearance.
New Single Fiber Lashes – Ballet Lash Extensions
One exciting, interesting new product introduced recently to the plethora of lashes available by manufacturers is called "Ballet Lash Extensions." These single-fiber lashes feature three-dimensional, curly waves a bit like crimped hair. They are perfect for adding an artistic and themed look to special occasions or events like Halloween, where a spooky wavey lash look might be just the ticket.
The Importance of Lash Aftercare
Prolong Lash Professional Lash Shampoo
Aside from innovative new technologies and application methods, there’s one thing that never changes: simply great lash aftercare!
