I have been doing semi permanent lashes for over a year now and infills are no problem, however I trained a couple of months ago in the 2 week lashes and find when I go to remove them its taking ages up to an hour.

This is what I do;
tape lashes down
put remover on 2 micro sticks and wipe it down lashes
gentle massage remover in
continue to do above until all lashes are off

am i missing something out?

I have also tried differnet glues and remover to see if it was the product but no its me!

Hi Annie
It should not be taking you an hour my lovely. If I am doing a full removal it takes about 10 mins from start to finish, if I am just removing the odd one or two badly behaved lashes at infill time it only takes about 5 mins. I read your method of removal and it sounds fine so it must be something else. Can I ask are you using a liquid or a gel remover?

Definitely use a gel remover not a liquid or you really will be there ages and more chance of remover getting in clients' eyes.
I place tissue over bottom lashes then get client to close eyes, then put gel remover on and leave to do its stuff. Then I use 2 eye shadow applicators and rub the lashes between them to remove. You may need to apply a little more gel, but it shouldn't take any longer than 20 mins maybe a tad longer if they are a VERY full set.

Hi could I just ask do any of you find the remover stings clients eyes? I've found with quite a few of mine they say it stings I use salon systems remover and only use a small amount just wondering if it's this remover xxx
 
The remover does sting because I done it to myself, thought I was going blind. I was trained to dab the micro sticks onto some couch roll to remove the excess liquid
 
Are you ladies using a liquid or a gel remover? Gel has less chance of getting in clients eyes and therefore stinging due to it's consistency....
 
I always use a GEL remover, because there is less risk of the product getting into the client's eyes.

Recently I changed my bottle of remover and found that the new bottle (same brand) of product worked faster. IMHO I think updating products periodically is good practise.

It's liquid that I use but I always remove the excess and only apply a small amount it only stings for a second but just wondered if there was a better remover that's a bit more gentle? Xxx
 
Removers as a general rule are not gentle - to work effectively they have to be strong enough to break down the glue bond. Remover should also not be getting into the eyes and therefore stinging. I'd say grab yourself a gel remover and see how u go - remember the gel only needs to be placed on the glue bond, give it 5 to work it's magic and then use 2 micobrushes to squeegee the glue bond between the brushes. I don't find that my client complain of stinging eyes when I do this.
