The core mission of lash extensions is to accentuate a client's natural beauty, never to compromise it. This is why employing a safe and gentle removal process is absolutely crucial. During a full removal or a routine infill appointment, using the correct technique and a high-quality remover ensures the procedure is efficient, thorough, and comfortable for your client.
Selecting the Perfect Lash Remover
Anyone who has struggled with stubborn extensions that refuse to dissolve knows the frustration of an ineffective remover.
We offer two types of removers, each designed to match your skill level and specific removal needs.
- Cream Remover (Ideal for Beginners & Our Bestseller)
Texture: Rich, non-drip cream
Best for: Removing full sets
Key Benefits: Its viscous formula prevents running, ensuring maximum comfort for clients with sensitive eyes and providing easy, precise control for new technicians.
2. Speedy Gel Remover (For the Confident Professional)
Texture: A lightweight, fast-penetrating gel.
Best for: Precision removal during fill appointments.
Key Advantage: Rapidly breaks down adhesive in just 3 minutes, making it the optimal solution for resilient or hard-to-remove lashes.
How to Apply Lash Remover (Step-by-Step Guide) For a full removal:
-
Using a micro brush or flocked applicator, apply a generous amount of remover along the lash line, focusing on the base where bonds are strongest.
-
Optional: Cover with cling film or silicone eye pads to enhance penetration and reduce processing time.
-
Allow the remover to work for 3–10 minutes (follow your product’s instructions).
-
Gently sweep extensions downward using tweezers or an applicator—avoid pulling.
-
If bonds remain, reapply remover and allow extra time before repeating step 4.
-
For stubborn lashes, use the banana peel technique: hold the natural lash securely and carefully slide the extension off in a downward-peeling motion.
-
Thoroughly wipe away all adhesive residue using a dry micro brush or lint-free wipe.
-
Cleanse lashes and eye area with a specialized lash shampoo, then rinse with water.
Signs It's Time to Remove Your Lash Extensions
Knowing when to remove your lash extensions helps keep your natural lashes healthy. Consider removal if:
-
It’s been more than 3 weeks since your last fill, and extensions look sparse, twisted, or uneven—especially if you don’t plan a refill soon.
-
The extensions were applied incorrectly—for example, if multiple natural lashes are stuck together—which can cause damage over time.
-
You experience a reaction to the adhesive. If symptoms are mild, wait until irritation calms down before removal. In more severe cases, consult a doctor before proceeding.
