A Toronto professional eyelash artist shares: How to safely remove eyelash extensions? Choose the right removal product to protect your natural lashes!
Unprofessional removal methods can severely damage your natural lashes, leading to breakage, thinning, and even damaged follicles. Today, from the perspective of a Toronto eyelash artist, I'll discuss the core of professional eyelash removal—eyelash adhesive remover—and share the correct procedures recognized by the Ontario beauty industry to ensure a flawless and trouble-free journey.
Why is it essential to use professional eyelash adhesive remover?
Eyelash extensions use a strong, long-lasting, specialized adhesive to ensure they last for weeks. This adhesive cures rapidly upon exposure to air, becoming extremely hard. Forcible removal by hand or reckless use of oily products can have disastrous consequences.
· Natural eyelashes can be torn off: Forced removal can break off the natural eyelashes at the root. Once the follicles are damaged, regrowth becomes difficult and slow.
· Eyelid skin allergies or infections can occur: Rough handling can scratch the delicate skin of the eyelids and introduce bacteria.
· Uneven eyelashes can become uneven: Uneven shedding can make your lashes look messy and untidy, and the repair process can be lengthy and awkward.
Therefore, a gentle, effective eyelash adhesive remover specifically designed for the eye area is not just an option, but a necessity for ensuring the safety and health of professional eyelash extensions. At our Toronto salon, we only use Health Canada-approved eyelash adhesive removers to ensure the safety of every client.
How can Toronto eyelash artists choose a high-quality eyelash adhesive remover?
There are a wide variety of eyelash adhesive removers available in Canada, but not all of them are trustworthy. As a practicing eyelash artist in Toronto, I focus on the following when choosing an eyelash adhesive remover:
1. Ingredients that meet Canadian Health Standards
High-quality products must be Health Canada certified and typically have a gel or cream texture, rather than a thin, watery consistency. This texture allows for better adhesion to the adhesive, preventing runny, and effectively preventing irritation in the eyes. They should avoid harsh chemical solvents and ideally contain nourishing ingredients, such as vitamin E or plant extracts, to protect lashes and skin during removal. Recommended brand: Swaniyalashes Remover
2. Formulated for the Canadian climate
Toronto's winters are dry and cold, while its summers are humid and hot. This climatic change can affect the effectiveness of eyelash adhesive removers. The professional eyelash adhesive remover we choose should maintain consistent performance in various climates, completely dissolving adhesive within 5-10 minutes without rubbing.
3. Light odor for a comfortable experience
Some inferior removers have a very pungent chemical odor, which can make clients feel nervous and uncomfortable during the procedure. High-quality products are essentially odorless or have only a light, herbal fragrance.
4. Availability and After-Sales Service
We prefer products with a stable supplier in Canada. This ensures a stable supply and timely technical support should any issues arise.
In my Toronto salon, I've long used Gentle Lash Glue Remover Gel, a Health Canada-certified brand. Its safety and user experience have been proven by countless clients.
While I'm sharing the professional process here, I strongly recommend that clients in the GTA seek professional lash removal services. DIY eyelash removal at home can easily lead to accidents due to improper handling.
The professional removal process is as follows:
1. Preparation
· Products: Professional eyelash adhesive remover gel, remover stick (or small wooden stick), micro-tip cotton swabs, eye patches, nano-tip cotton swabs, saline solution
· Have the client lie comfortably, ensuring their head is stable.
2. Isolation and Protection
· Apply the professional eye patch to the lower eyelid, completely covering the lower lashes to prevent the remover from coming into contact with the skin or eyes.
3. Precise Application
· Use a micro-tip cotton swab to apply a generous amount of lash extension remover gel to the base of the extension, ensuring that the glue point is completely covered. Avoid the skin and eyes.
4. Wait for Dissolution
· Patiently wait 5-10 minutes for the remover to fully dissolve the glue. During this time, you can chat with the client and relax.
5. Gentle Removal
· When the time is up, use the remover stick to gently slide the false lashes sideways to remove them. If the glue has completely dissolved, the false lashes will slide off easily, without any force! If there's any resistance, stop immediately, apply a little more remover, and wait a moment.
6. Cleaning and Care:
· Use a nano-cotton swab dipped in saline solution to gently clean the lash area to remove any residual remover and glue debris.
· Finally, apply a layer of eyelash nourishing serum to replenish nutrients to the follicles and promote healthy growth.
Toronto Customer FAQ
Q: Will my natural lashes be reduced after eyelash removal?
A: With professional safe lash adhesive removal at our Toronto salon, your natural lashes will remain intact. If you feel your lashes are "reduced," it's actually just the removal of your false lashes, restoring your natural lashes. Unprofessional removal is what truly damages your lashes.
Q: Are there any alternative oils for eyelash removal, such as coconut oil or olive oil?
A: Absolutely not! Oils can soften the glue, but they can't dissolve it. Repeated rubbing and pulling are more damaging to your lashes than you might imagine. Furthermore, the risk of oily products getting into your eyes is extremely high. Therefore, only use professional eyelash adhesive remover.
Q: What precautions should I take after removal?
A: Avoid using oily eye makeup products within 24 hours after removal to give your lashes and follicles a rest. If needed, you can begin using eyelash serum to condition and prepare for the next grafting session. Winter in Toronto can bring significant temperature swings between indoor and outdoor temperatures. It's recommended to wear a scarf or turtleneck when going out to protect your eye area.
Conclusion:
Dear GTA friends, eyelash extensions are meant to enhance our beauty and confidence, but this beauty should never come at the expense of our health. A professional eyelash adhesive remover is just as important as the grafting process itself. It represents a commitment to your own eyelash health and the professionalism of your lash artist.
So, next time your lashes need a refresh, be sure to find a trusted lash artist in the Toronto area and use a professional eyelash adhesive remover to complete this "last mile" of care. Let each of your natural lashes be gently cared for, allowing them to continue to bloom with healthy radiance.
