Hi guys - I trained with Flirties a couple of years ago - love their glue - their glue - all glues do not love me!! It appears that exposure to varied lash or nail glues gives me the same reaction that I have been reading about on here (even the sensitive glues which I am forced to use as the symptoms are slightly less so) - flu like symptoms, dreadful rash on throat, itching puffy eyes & lids at the worst - and that just with me as the tech!! - however, now I lash the bare minimum of people and as I work from home am loving the summer as I can do it outside!!! I think ventilation is the key - if the mask works for you then absolutely use them - a fan blowing across your glue away from you or an extraction unit, glue on a stone away from you (not in a ring) - hay fever tablets the day prior & after - if anyone else has any magic solutions then PLEASE let me know as I LOVE lashing but seriously twice a week is all I'd let myself do now
Perhaps we need a pole for glue allergy lash techs & which glues they have used and reactions on a scale of 1-5 perhaps?
I'll look to set up unless any geeky members fancies stepping upto the plate for me
