Glue drying before I can place it. AC issues?

  • It's getting hot outside so I turned on the AC in my studio. Now my 1sec glue is drying way too fast. It feels like it cures on the extension before I even touch the natural lash. Result = zero stickiness and extensions just brush off. Is the air conditioning ruining my drops?

  • Yes, AC blows dry air and can completely mess up your environment! Check your hygrometer. The AC might be blasting air right at your station, making the glue drop cure instantly. Try moving your lash bed away from the direct airflow and see if that helps.

  • AC drafts are the absolute worst for lash tech comfort and glue stability. If you can't change the airflow, you might need an adhesive with a slightly slower drying time just for the summer months. Take a look at the formulas here https://stacylash.com/collections/glue and try picking something that dries in 2 seconds instead of 1, it will give you that extra moment you need.
