Lash Extensions for Sensitive Eyes: What We Can Promise

Quick answer: After years of hands-on service, we use the professional sensitive adhesive we trust for dependable retention. Its manufacturer describes it as low-fume and designates the formula medical-grade and hypoallergenic. Low-fume does not mean fume-free, and hypoallergenic does not mean reaction-free. Retention and individual reactions can vary.

Does hypoallergenic mean I cannot react?

No. Any cosmetic eye-area service or adhesive can cause irritation or an individual reaction. The term describes the manufacturer’s product designation; it does not diagnose a sensitivity or guarantee a reaction-free appointment.

What should I disclose before booking?

• Past reactions to lash adhesive, tape, gel pads, cosmetics, or cyanoacrylate products.
• Active redness, swelling, pain, discharge, infection, or an eye injury.
• Recent eye surgery, procedure, or advice from a healthcare professional to avoid eye-area services.

Do you offer free patch testing?

Yes. Elegant Lashes By Katie offers complimentary lash adhesive patch testing for clients who want an extra step before a full service. Text us before booking so our team can help arrange it. A patch test may help identify a sensitivity, but it cannot predict or prevent every irritation or reaction. Individual responses can still vary.

When should I seek medical care?

This article is general salon information, not medical advice. Seek prompt guidance from a qualified healthcare professional for significant or worsening pain, swelling, vision changes, discharge, breathing symptoms, or any reaction that concerns you. Do not rely on a salon article to diagnose an eye condition.
