Gel eye pad allergic reactions???

by Keli R Shirey

May 29, 2014

Hey ladies, so I had a client the other day who's eyes were blood shot red the next morning after doing her lashes. A bit swollen underneath, not on top. The swelling went down the next day and the red got better over a few days. I normally don't use the gel pads due to them sliding and I notice the gel coming out. BUT I chose to use them on this client due to her very thin skin under her eyes. I really don't think it was a reaction to the glue ( I use blink ultra plus glue) and never had this happen before. I also recall my moms eyes being red the next day and I happened to use them on her a little while back! Has anyone else's clients had any issue???

    You might try Blink lint free pads .. I always check the pas before putting on as some have more gel than others .. Also if they're talkers the pad will move up and have to be repositioned .. So I'll tell them it's best to not talk and just enjoy the time to relax ..

      Thanks for the feedback girls! I will give Minkies a try! I charge $125 for a full set and between $50-$80 fir fills depending on how many need filled and the time it takes me to do them. I live north of Pittsburgh Pa, and there are a few local salons that also do extensions for around the same price. Getting into the city you could pay upwards $300! Im right around 2 1/2 hours for a full set.
      @Tiffany, I vacation in Marathon every year, love visiting Islamorada! You're so lucky to live there in the summer!!!

        Just wanted to add, from my experience doing and teaching lashes for 11yrs now, I have noticed that a lot of eye gel pads have eye "treatments" in them. These can get into the eye while doing extensions and cause irritation because they are not made to hold bottom lashes down but provide an eye treatment. Also old glue can cause major irritation too. Glue should be kept in refrigeration between usage and be changed out every 6 months. Koji tape from PremierLash.com is my favorite go to along with their sensitive eye pad (no treatment product in them and stay in place great) Hope this helps :) Cameo (Admin)
