Summary

Summer is the season lash artists dread most for retention, and it's usually not a technique problem. Mike and Shauna walk through everything that affects your lash bonds when temps rise: humidity, sweat, oils, saltwater, and how your adhesive storage plays into it. They cover how to run a mini consultation with returning clients, when to swap primer in for saline, how to adjust your glue dot timing, and why UV adhesive keeps coming up as the answer to almost every retention complaint. Plus, a solid reminder that selling your clients a lash bath is both an upsell and a client protection strategy. If you're heading into summer fielding retention questions, this one is worth a listen before your next appointment. New classes available at olivorlash.com, including an upcoming beginner course in Las Vegas. Financing available.
