WHY and HOW do glue drops happen? There's a million reasons it's happening, but good news is - there's also a million ways to fix it! Don't feel disheartened or defeated if it's happening to you, because it happens to everyone. And 9 times out of 10, it's an environmental issue or some other factor is causing it - not necessarily your skill set!
If it's a one off thing, then you know it's either environmental or the aftercare causing the issue. If the paritular client pulls, plucks or picks their lashes, it'll break up the bondage between the fan and the adhesive. If they are gym girlies and have poor aftercare, same thing - the bondage will break apart! But most importantly, the humidity and temperature - was it correct?
You must be changing and adjusting the room temperature multiple times a day - once in the morning, mid day and in the afternoon. The weather is constantly changing so you must do the same! Similar to if you're dipping in too little or too much, the fan itself will pop off the natural lash. But if the room is too cool or too dry, the bondage will cause poor curation which again, leaves you with left over glue residue.
If it's a reoccurring issue, then it could be an environmental issue, but more so an application issue. Things like the time of day, temp and humidity range or incorrect sizing, dipping and application techniques. Are they too heavy? Too long? Or maybe the client has oily skin and you're not prepping and setting correctly?
Trial and error is the best way to eliminate out any factors causing you issues. If you're not sure where to start - you have to break it down! Make sure you know your customers well and your attention to detail is OUT OF THIS WORLD.
As yourself things like:
Who has oily skin?
Who comes in for early morning apps?
Who has weak lashes?
Who gets fuller volumes?
Who exercises regularly
Once you have these questions answered (write down a list if you need) then the process of elimination will be easy! Figure out if it's reoccurring or a one off issue and go from there! If you need to move clients from the morning to afternoon - try that! If you need to start priming more - give that a go! You can also try dropping down in volume, diameter or length to see if that makes a difference.
Either way, I'd always recommend getting the room settings right first, making sure your dipping and application techniques are perfect and the diameter, thickness and volume your using is suitable! Sometimes it's inevitable, no matter what you do! The glue drops just won't go away so next best thing - offer a removal and start fresh.
Don't ever place an extension on top of the left over glue residue! Instead, use your tweezers and the "pinch" method to gently glide them up and off the natural lash! If you're having issues - use a little bit of remover and place directly on the glue drop, leave for 5 minutes and wipe away!
But don't stress, there's always a resolution to every issue - no matter what! WE BELIEVE IN YOU AND KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!
Love always,
