What is a potential risk when using substandard lash products?

Using substandard lash products significantly increases the likelihood of allergic reactions. This is primarily due to the presence of irritants or harmful chemicals that may be used in inferior products. Quality lash extensions and adhesives are formulated to be safe on the skin and eyes, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions. When products do not meet safety standards, they can provoke sensitivities or allergies in clients, leading to discomfort, swelling, or redness.

While reduced durability of the extensions, quicker shedding, and lower costs for clients may be associated with poor-quality products, they do not pose the same immediate health risks as allergic reactions. An allergic reaction can result in serious complications, making it vital for lash artists to use only high-quality, reputable products to ensure the safety and satisfaction of their clients.
