Had a chat with a client about lash glue that stopped me cold
A woman in her 60s came in last Thursday and said she'd been getting lifts for 10 years with no irritation, then suddenly her eyes swelled up like balloons after a new stylist switched brands. She told me she thought all adhesives were basically the same, but that one change made her react. It made me realize how often we assume clients know the risks with different formulations, and now I'm thinking about adding a quick sensitization check for anyone new to my chair. Has anyone else had a client react to a glue they used for years without issue?

Three years using the same glue then my eyes swelled shut on a Tuesday.

they thought all adhesives were basically the same" - that part really hit me because I used to think the exact same thing. I honestly believed if a brand was reputable, the formula didn't matter much. Then a regular of mine had a bad reaction out of nowhere to a glue she'd been using for three years, and it made me rethink everything. Now I even check with clients if they've switched products recently, even if it's the same brand. It's wild how our bodies can just change like that.
