Introducing Purple Light™

The Lash Lounge is proud to be the first salon franchise to offer LED lash extensions, also known as UV lash extensions—our Purple Light™ Experience! This groundbreaking technology uses low-powered LED Purple Light™ to flash-cure the adhesive bond between your natural lash and extension in fewer than 4 seconds!

Life-changing. Why? Instant curing means better lash extension retention (i.e. less lash fall-out) and fewer trips into the salon for lash fills.

But wait—there’s more! Our new Purple Light™ adhesive, also new to the lash-extension market, is one of the best lash adhesives and one of the best eyelash glues for sensitive eyes. It’s made with the cleanest, most biocompatible ingredients AND with less cyanoacrylate than traditional lash-extension adhesive.

If you’ve ever experienced dry, burning or irritated eyes after an eyelash-extension service in the past, this was likely the culprit. Now, with ~30% less cyanoacrylate than traditional glues and instantaneous drying, lash extensions are now a possibility for guests with sensitivities with eyelash LED light!

Traditional Vs. LED Lash Extensions

At The Lash Lounge, lash extensions are what we do. As industry pioneers, we’ve always committed to quality—the best of the best in semi-permanent eyelash extensions. They’re applied by licensed and certified stylists in The Lash Lounge’s proprietary lash design technique and they’re double heat-rolled to maintain the integrity of the curl, combined with medical-grade adhesive to ensure both your safety and the longest-lasting lashes.

What are led lash extensions?

LED lash extensions, or UV lash extensions, are the same high-quality lashes you’ve come to expect from The Lash Lounge; the only difference is how they’re applied to your natural lashes. LED lash extensions use low-powered Purple Light™ to drastically speed up the adhesive curing process—from 24–48 hours with traditional lash glue to fewer than 4 seconds with LED light for lash extensions.

How do uv lash extensions work?

UV lash extensions, aka LED eyelash extensions, are semi-permanent extensions applied to your natural lashes using a special eyelash adhesive that cures, or bonds, to your natural lashes instantaneously when exposed to Purple Light™, also known as UV-A light.

Are UV Lash Extensions Safe?

UV eyelash extensions, you may be thinking: That doesn’t sound good… Don’t worry! Purple Light™ does not penetrate your skin, making it even safer than the blue light emitted from your phone or TV. For perspective, to equal the same amount of UV exposure from the sun in one minute, you’d have to stand under our Purple Light™ for 60 hours nonstop!

LED Light for Long-Lasting Eyelash Extensions

The Purple Light™ Experience ups the ante for long-lasting lash extensions with eyelash LED light. Why? Traditional eyelash adhesive relies on moisture in the air to fully harden over the course of 1–2 days. That means that external factors temperature and humidity can complicate this drying process, compromising lash retention. With light-cured lash extensions, that instant adhesive bond locks your extensions into place in fewer than 4 seconds flat. External factors have no effect on this drying process—which also means no more waiting 8 hours to sweat, sauna or get your lashes wet; you can do so immediately!

Purple Light™ Sensitive Eyelash-Extension Glue for Sensitive Eyes

If you’ve ever received a traditional lash-extension service and experienced dryness, irritation or burning, that was likely due to a cyanoacrylate sensitivity or allergy, one of the main ingredients in eyelash extension glue. This is exacerbated by the 24–48-hour dry time of traditional lash-extension adhesive, which relies on air and moisture to cure. During that process, small amounts of formaldehyde fumes are released, which is what causes the irritation.

Because our Purple Light™ UV lash extensions cure immediately with the best lash adhesive offered by any eyelash salon franchise, that fume exposure is almost eliminated completely, making people who were previously not eyelash candidates now eligible for Purple Light™ lashes!

Our exclusive Purple Light™ adhesive contains ~30% less cyanoacrylate than traditional adhesive and is made with the cleanest and most biocompatible ingredients, it is not a hypoallergenic eyelash glue. People with cyanoacrylate allergies cannot get LED eyelash extensions.

Purple Light™ LED Lash Extensions FAQs

You can get Purple Light™ LED eyelash extensions at The Lash Lounge! Because LED lash extensions are an advanced service that requires additional stylist education and certification, Purple Light™ availability varies by salon.

The only difference between LED lash extensions and traditional lash extensions is the way in which the extension is cured, or glued, to your natural lash. Traditional lashes are dependent on air and moisture to fully harden over the course of 24–48 hours. During this time, external factors like temperature and humidity can compromise that bond, affecting lash retention. Purple Light™, on the other hand, cures the extension in fewer than 4 seconds.

Yes, you get your lashes wet immediately after LED eyelash extensions vs. waiting 24-48 hours with traditional lash extensions. That’s because, with purple LED light, the adhesive bond between your natural lash and the extension fully cures in fewer than 4 seconds!

Purple Light™ lash appointments vary by salon, service type and stylist level. With a regular stylist, a typical light-cured lash extension full-set appointment takes about 2 hours, while a refill appointment takes between 75–90 minutes.

Short answer: Almost everyone is a perfect candidate for LED eyelash extensions! If you can get regular lash extensions, you can get UV lash extensions.
Purple Light™ lashes are also known for being especially great eyelash extensions for sensitive eyes. If you’ve experienced dryness or burning following a lash-extension service in the past and do not have a cyanoacrylate allergy, then LED lash extensions are for you!
