What is UV Lash Glue?
UV lash glue is a photoinitiator-based lash extension adhesive that only cures when exposed to UV light — it will not bond on its own like standard cyanoacrylate glue. Because the adhesive remains inert until the UV lamp is applied, fume release during placement is significantly reduced, making it the safest option for sensitive clients and fume-free salon environments. FDA & CE certified. Requires a UV Lash Lamp (sold separately).
⚠️ This adhesive requires a UV Lash Lamp to cure. It will not cure on its own like standard lash glue.
Minimal-fume UV lash adhesive that only activates under UV light — dramatically reduced fume exposure during application.
Instant cure with the lamp, full placement control before curing — the safest option for sensitive clients and fume-free salon environments.

How To Use UV Lash Glue
- Prep — Cleanse natural lashes with Eyelash Primer for maximum adhesion
- Dispense — Place a small drop of UV glue onto a jade stone or glue ring — keep away from UV light until ready
- Dip — Dip the lash extension base into the UV glue
- Apply — Place 0.5mm from the lash line — take your time, it won't cure until you use the lamp
- Cure — Once placement is perfect, cure with the UV Lash Lamp for 3–5 seconds
- Continue — Move to the next lash and repeat
- After use — Wipe the nozzle clean and seal tightly — keep away from UV light during storage
Storage Instructions
- Store in a dark, cool place away from UV light and sunlight
- Keep the cap tightly sealed when not in use

FAQ
Does UV glue work without a UV lamp?
No — UV glue only cures when exposed to UV light. Without a UV Lash Lamp, it will not bond. The lamp is required and sold separately.
Is UV glue suitable for sensitive clients?
Yes — because the adhesive only activates under UV light, fume exposure during application is significantly reduced compared to standard lash glue, making it a better option for sensitive clients and those with adhesive allergies.
Does humidity affect UV glue?
No — unlike standard lash glue, UV adhesive is not affected by humidity or temperature. It only cures under UV light, making it consistent in any environment or season.
How long does UV lash glue retention last?
Retention is strong and comparable to standard adhesives when applied correctly with proper prep using Eyelash Primer and client aftercare with oil-free lash shampoo.
What is the difference between UV lash glue and standard lash glue?
Standard lash glue cures through moisture in the air — fumes release on contact and dry time is fixed (0.3–2 seconds). UV lash glue only activates under UV light, so fume release during placement is minimal and you have unlimited placement time before curing. UV glue requires a lamp; standard glue does not.
Do I need special training to use UV lash glue?
No special certification is required, but familiarity with lash extension application is recommended. The main difference from standard glue is the curing step — you cure each lash with the UV lamp after placement instead of relying on air-dry time.
