Struggling with sensitive eyes or allergic reactions to eye makeup? No need to worry! You can still achieve those stunning lashes you’ve always dreamed of. The key lies in choosing the right lash services and being informed about potential allergic reactions. Before booking your appointment, let’s delve into this.
Sensitive Eyes and Lash Extensions
If you’ve got sensitive eyes and you’re hesitant about lash extensions, don’t dismiss them just yet. While not everyone is a suitable candidate for lash extensions, they might be a better option than you think.
Moreover, one fantastic perk of lash extensions is that they allow you to ditch your eye makeup routine. This is a significant advantage, especially if your eye makeup tends to trigger sensitivities or irritations. Many cosmetic products contain ingredients that can not only irritate your eyes but also lead to allergic reactions. So why go through all that trouble when lash extensions can provide a glamorous alternative?
What to Consider When Exploring Lash Extensions
When you’re in the process of selecting a lash technician or a salon that offers lash extensions, it’s crucial to do your homework. Allergic reactions can sometimes be attributed to improper training or practices. You certainly don’t want to find yourself asking questions like “Why do my eyelashes hurt?” or “Why are my eyelashes sore?” No one wants that kind of discomfort.
Choosing a trained professional, like our LeeLash stylists who have undergone extensive training, is essential. The risk of going to someone who isn’t properly trained is just not worth it.
How The Lash Lounge Handles Eye Sensitivities
When you visit The LeeLash for the first time, you won’t immediately dive into extensions. Instead, you’ll start with some necessary paperwork to provide your stylist with crucial information. Your stylist will ask questions such as:
- Have you had lash extensions before, and if so, did you encounter any problems?
- Do you rub your eyes frequently?
- Are you currently taking any medications?
- Are you allergic to any substances, including adhesive tape or glue types?
- And a few more inquiries to ensure a safe experience.
Your stylist will thoroughly review this information during your consultation.
Protecting Sensitive Eyes with a Trial Set
Another wonderful practice at the LeeLash is the use of Trail Set, especially if you’re prone to sensitivities. If that’s the case, we recommend scheduling a Trail Set before your initial appointment and consultation.
Here’s how a Trail Set works:
- Your stylist will carefully apply about 20 short extensions across your lash line one both eyes.
- They will keep a record of which adhesives were tested on and allow you to wear them for a minimum of 24 hours, up to 48 hours.
- For guests with severe adhesive allergies who cannot receive lash extensions, a lash lift is a viable alternative to explore further with your stylist.
If lash extensions don’t align with your preferences or you’re interested in exploring other lash services, consider a lash tint. This service doesn’t involve any glue or adhesive; it utilizes plant-based dyes that are completely safe.
For a lash lift, a silicone rod and gentle adhesive are used to set the curl in place. If you have concerns about eye sensitivities, we strongly advise you to consult with a salon near you before booking any lash service, including a lift and tint.
If you receive the green light and decide to move forward, you can opt for the dynamic duo of a lash lift and tint. This combo will give your lash line a rich color and a beautiful curl that can last for up to four weeks.
