5 Myths About UV Lashing Debunked

UV lashing is a revolutionary technique in the lash industry, but with innovation comes misconceptions. As lash artists, it’s important to stay informed and confident when explaining this method to clients. Let’s separate fact from fiction by debunking the five most common myths about UV lashing.

Myth 1: UV Lashing Is Unsafe for Clients

The Reality: When done properly with the right equipment, UV lashing is completely safe. The UV light used in the curing process is carefully controlled and designed for minimal exposure. Additionally, many adhesives, like our Halo UV Adhesives, now use advanced photoinitiators, which offer improved safety and lower irritation risk compared to older formulas.

To further ensure safety as a lash artist, UV-protective glasses (like our Halo UV Glasses Clip-Ons) can be used for added client peace of mind.

Myth 2: UV Lashing Causes Allergic Reactions

The Reality: Allergies are a concern with any adhesive, but UV adhesives are often less likely to cause reactions. Traditional lash adhesives cure slowly and can emit fumes for hours after application, increasing irritation risks. UV adhesives, on the other hand, cure instantly under UV light, locking in fumes and reducing exposure.

Proper patch testing and using high-quality products are always essential for minimizing risks.

Myth 3: UV Lashing Requires Perfect Room Conditions

The Reality: Unlike traditional adhesives, UV adhesives are temperature and humidity independent, making them a game-changer for lash artists. No more struggling to maintain specific conditions in your studio!

Whether it’s hot, cold, humid, or dry, UV adhesives perform consistently, allowing you to focus on your artistry rather than worrying about your environment.

Myth 4: You Can’t Use UV Lashing Without Traditional Adhesives

The Reality: While some lash artists choose to keep a backup traditional adhesive, UV adhesives are more than capable of standing on their own. Modern UV products are formulated for durability, flexibility, and retention comparable to, if not better than, traditional adhesives.

Backup adhesives can be helpful in case of unforeseen circumstances, but they are not a necessity when using high-quality UV products like the ones we offer at EvLo Lash Co.

Myth 5: UV Lashing Isn’t Worth the Investment

The Reality: The upfront cost of UV lights and adhesives might seem high, but the benefits far outweigh the expense. Faster curing times, fewer irritations, and consistent results mean happier clients and more referrals. Plus, UV lashing saves time during appointments, allowing you to take on more clients in a day.

With options like our Halo UV Light and Focus UV Light, there are tools to fit every budget, making UV lashing accessible and profitable for lash artists at all levels.
