Let’s talk about LED honestly, clearly, and with all the facts…
The lash world loves a shiny new trend, and right now LED lashes are stealing the spotlight. Whether clients hear about LED curing lights on TikTok or see salons posting about next-level retention, the question always finds its way to us:
Is LED the future of lash extensions?
Let’s break it down with real facts, real experience, and zero hype.
What Are LED Lashes?
LED lashes aren’t a different type of extension, but instead it is a different curing method.
Instead of waiting for adhesive to cure with humidity, LED systems use an LED-safe light and an LED-activated adhesive.
The benefits:
• Faster curing
• Longer retention
• Reduced irritation from fumes
• Your lashes are completely water proof
• Less time waiting for adhesive to “set”
Some salons also use LED for enhanced hygiene protocols, depending on their system.
Is LED the Future?
LED is an incredible advancement, but it doesn’t replace technique.
Even with LED, great lashes still depend on:
• Perfect isolation
• Correct adhesive usage
• Smart lash placement
• Personalised styling
• Proper prep
LED is a tool. A powerful one. But still… a tool.
Good fundamentals remain the core of beautiful, long-lasting lashes.
Our LED Journey at Kiki Lashes
We don’t follow trends, we test them. Thoroughly.
Which is why this matters: Kiki Lashes was the first to bring LED lash technology to Sydney.
We’ve been using it longer than any other salon in the area, giving us an edge in experience, safety, and technique.
Our Own LED Products and training
This part is special.
Before using any samples for pur own LED adhesive collection on clients, we tested more than 30 different LED glues from global suppliers.
Some cured too slowly.
Some held beautifully but irritated sensitive clients.
Some cured fast but retention wasn’t consistent.
Only one formula passed every test.
And that’s the one we now use and offer under our own Kiki Lashes brand.
The results speak for themselves:
• Quick curing
• Ultra-long retention
• Low irritation
• Safe and stable
• Better than anything we’ve ever used before
We didn’t settle until we found a product that matched our standards, and our client’s expectations. Now we use it every day and trust it completely.
