🚨 CORRECTION🚨 you can not patch test for lash extensions. I thought there was some form of solution involved but, just like gel polish for example, the lash glue should never make contact with the skin, therefor no patch test is needed. You can of course get a test from a dermatologist for things like acrylates but this is an allergy that can form over time and may not show on a patch test
you can do a lash patch test by applying about 10 lashes per eye, usually just short ones that won't be noticeable, and leave them for 48 hours before getting a full set done. this exposes you to the product to see if you'll have a reaction. however, a full set can take up to 2-3 hours so there is a chance that even if you do not have a reaction to the patch test you could still react to a full set due to the longer exposure time. also lash techs should NEVER give medical advice. if something goes wrong you always tell the client to seek medical attention from a doctor.
That’s correct that it shouldn’t touch the skin but also allergies to lash extension adhesive typically develop over time so any kind of “test” even applying a couple lashes like the above poster suggested won’t alleviate all instances of allergic reaction as people could get them for years before developing an allergy.
Second client doesn’t clean her lashes either. That’s what all the crusty was. Sometimes it’s not ONLY a bad lash tech. The other part is client upkeep
I’m just… I’m so shocked that she didn’t go to the ER immediately after her mom looked over and saw what looked to be blood pooling in her eyes. I can’t even fathom a universe in which that wouldn’t be someone’s immediate response….
I don't know if this was in the US, but in some parts of America there's a strong culture against going to the doctor. It's probably related to the cost of healthcare, but even if you can afford to go a lot of people don't bother to
I can't believe Haley's mom didn't take her to the doctor right away. Not only can you be permanently blinded by an infection, but your brain is vulnerable to the bacteria as well. Scary.
For real. That Mom was neglectful and irresponsible to her child’s health by not taking her to the doctor when HER EYES ARE FULL OF BLOOD !?!? Absolutely ridiculous
In college I woke up with an irritated and puffy eye so I went to the campus clinic to have it checked out. They gave me some eye drops to help with the irritation but then it got worse, it turned red, and I had to go to the emergency room! Turns out, I had an allergic reaction to whatever was in those eye drops that I got from the campus clinic. Our eyes are sensitive! We have to take care of them!
Probably the preservative. I use eye drops for dry eye, but my eyes became sensitive to the preservative and I had a similar allergic reaction. I now have to use preservative free drops. I developed an allergic reaction to both shower gel and hygiene wipes and both times the doctor said it was the preservative. My doctor said it is a very common allergy.
I realised I was sensitive to eyedrops because I would immediately develop headaches / migraines. I Googled to see if this was common but the websites weren't helpful. I'm glad to see this discussion, I thought I was the only one who faced issues with eyedrops!
As a Lash technician myself it's horrifying some of the stories I've heard that have scared women away from ever getting it done again. People getting their eyelashes CUT or going to a hair salon or nail salon and getting botched cluster lashes that were applied with HAIR GLUE it's just absolutely insane to me what people will do for $$$.
Sometimes (more than "sometimes") I want to Touch my Head about this, what specifically Young Girls does with her Bodies - Hair - Nails - Faces - and Lashes, Eyebrows and Natural Things AS this! 😢😢
@@Kayla_P99Google "lash extension technicians in my area" and see which business catches your eye. Make sure they have some kind of social media/website so that you can see their work. Read through the reviews as well. All the lash technicians I've went to were always close to having 5 stars or had 5 stars. Usually lash extension places are quiet, clean, and have blocked off/secluded rooms for clients to lay down in and get the service done. If you're not seeing any of that, don't proceed
Pretty harmless, no? NO. 😂 I can't believe that the first 2 people didn't seek medical help immediately. The 2nd one not even questioning her crusty eyelashes is so concerning to me. Anything to do with the eyes is 100% not worth the risk because there is so much at stake if it gets worse.
They're mad lucky they didn't go blind, especially the one that kept going back to her quack lash tech. Our eyesight is probably one of the most taken for granted senses, but hopefully they learned their lesson before they try anything that does make them lose it.
@wolvie1618 they were getting clear signs of infection, there is SO much at risk as well as your sight (which I'm not undervaluing) but you can get the infection tracking to your brain and, well, that can be it!
Something I'd like to add with allergic reactions is that even if you're not allergic to something you've used multiple times with no problem, allergies can develop at a later date.
I agree with you 100% I’m 30 and just started last year havjng spring allergies before last year pollen was never an issue. Last year while on a vacation My eyes were fucked it wasn’t till after the vacation where I went to a botanical garden it happened again it was so severe I ended up in the er..before that I never had any allergies mt whole life…shit happens the worst story was the girl with the hair dye allergy with the swollen head…we need to patch test and get an allergen test yearly..it’s scary
@@gabrielladiaz6933 Spring allergies are rough. I've always had them. Ragweed and cottonwood are the biggest culprits for me. 😫 I have an uncle who used to work as a chef and developed a shellfish allergy in his mid 40s. That's actually what inspired my original comment. Also, I 100% with yearly allergen tests. Ideally, patch tests should be done before each session.
ive developed a nasty latex allergy only within the last 2 or 3 years, i noticed it after i got my navel pierced. my piercer put a square gauze pad over it with plaster tape around the edges.. i had a red bubbly flaky frame on my stomach for 3 months!😂 way to show off my new piercing🥲😂
I hate that so many lash techs are so careless and inconsiderate of the potential medically consequences that could happen when they rush or are just not good at applying them. Of course, issues can happen in the best of hands but ive been to 5 lash techs and my current one is the only one who ive had zero irritation with. It seems like everyone thinks they can be a lash tech these days🤦🏻♀️ I think there should be a cosmetology degree or some kind of oversight. right now, they can take courses with anyone who thinks they are qualified to teach😢
Our highschool has a cos clas and I think that we should all have something like that if we want to go into cosmetology immediately after highschool, but otherwise you should take like. 6-12 month course
This is' a great Idea ! Nobody in Germany is Just thinking about something like this !!! 😮 But this is' something because that, that our european Kids and Youngsters Not so intensive using Cosmetics - thank's God 🫣❣️🙏😂😂 But at the other Side: learning about Chemicals, Procedures - the whole Knowledge about healthy Skin - should BE really in a time and hours of learning to know something more about human Skin, growing Up in Puberty (as Example), to treat your Skin at the Best you can do yourself and learn, to know about the Indigrients and also your/their/our Food Intake what can make your Skin and your whole Body to getting worse - or the very best it IS possible ❣️🥰👏🎉
When I was 21(16 years ago) I worked for Benefit cosmetics and one of our biggest sellers was BooBoo Zap, a salicylic acid treatment. I had been showing a guest the product and gotten some on my hand. I didn’t wash my hands immediately after handling it. BIG mistake, huge! I must have I gotten an itch and instinctively rubbed my eye. I can’t remember if I realized immediately after or if it took some time, but I do remember the pain. As soon as I realized what I had done, I went to the back to flush my eye with water. It helped, but I ended up at the eye doctor the next day because it hurt to blink. The ophthalmologist told me that I needed to go on steroid eye drops, because it had made small holes in top layer of my retina. Luckily, I got to it in time, so my eye is fine. Moral of the story, immediately wash your hands after doing your skincare with actives. Don’t be stupid like me lol.
@@wolvie1618 It was just in the first layer, but yeah. She showed me a picture of it. I kinda looked like when you have a shallow chip in the surface of a tile. That’s the best way I can describe
@@acid_tongue_4315 considering her eyes were swollen and bleeding, that’s major indicators for receiving urgent medical care. Eyes are resilient with the correct care…along with all organs of the body if you care for them correctly.
@acid_tongue_4315 they *can* be but they also can be ruined and they can ALSO track infection to the brain. With like....immediate pus everywhere for days that would have been my first concern. Possibly even more than losing her sight although that's clearly permanently disabling in a way that I believe is really difficult to adapt to, but brain infections can end your life or leave you with permanent neurological issues. It's no joke
as someone who has bad eyesight and needs glasses, even a natural eyelash going into my eye is not fun. I could never imagine going through a thing this terrifying and dangerous .....and trusting the salon again to help. Also, love the IVE shirt 😊
YES, THIS! I don't wear false lashes myself, I use a mascara that doesn't irritate my eyes, but it took a long time to find one that didn't. lol Anyway, having my lashes fall into my eyes hurts so much, I know what you mean! This is just another reason for me not to ever get my lashes done or wear false lashes, tbh.
I used to do lash extensions and 9 times out of 10 when someone came from another lash stylist to me for a fill I would have to take them all off and start fresh. There are so many horrible sets being done out there. It's one of the biggest reasons I quit doing it.
The fact that people are jumping from tech to tech for maintenance also explains why so many bad professionals are able to stay in business…. like don’t go trial testing when the subject is your eyes, I can see how frustrating that must have been to treat careless client after careless client.
I try telling people to not buy anything from places like shein and temu (for a number of reasons). But they just don't want to listen because it's such (a good deal). Sometimes your better off doing without something than buying these items.
@@biazacha exactly, don't play with your health. Nothing that goes on or in your body should be bought at a discount online. Save up and make the investment because the hospital bills you could get at the end of a bad reaction will be far more than the cost of a reputable product from a reputable seller
Unfortunately there is a good brand carried by shien and its a shame cuz joocyee is a reliable brand and established in asia but its carried by shien of all brands ☹️
I'm 60 years old (and, yes, I come here because James is awesome!). I've been having something (perms, color, hilights, etc,) done to my hair for over 45 years, and I have NEVER, not once, had a salon professional perform a patch test on me for anything. Is it a UK thing to patch test? So smart! I'm in the US, and I've never heard of a salon that patch tests.
I move to the USA about 2 years I’m from Costa Rica and well in my country for the health services to approve salón they must do it. If they don’t you just go and report and an investigation will be performed. I move to the USA and went to a salon in 2 states NC and Georgia and you are right none of them offer me and I ask they said isn’t necessary
yeah its a legal requirement here in the uk, if a salon is caught not doing them they can be fined/prosecuted this goes for not only hair but i had to get a patch test done for eyebrow tint too. I think they only really pursue legal action against a salon though if someone had a bad reaction and they weren't patch tested.
I’m in California and my hairdresser made me do a patch test a week before she highlighted my hair. But she’s also teaches advanced hair color technique classes, so she always goes by the book for these things.
I'm Always very careful with everything i bought for my skin, hair or eyes. Even the best brands can have side effects. But when is not a good brand the risk is much worst and huge. I think these vídeos are actually very important. Thank you James. I love your opinions and your voice is just so smooth, you can talk about everything that it always sounds amazing, lol. 💜
As James says natural doesn’t mean better. I’m hypersensitive to so much stuff I refuse to use things that are “all natural” anymore since a rose water mask left me with chemical burns on my cheeks. Always patch test anything that you’re trying for the first time and anything red should also always be patch tested.
Even a brand you trust can make a product that isn’t safe/good for you. Happened to me with a brand of lip balms that work well on me, but when I tried one of their face masks it gave me a reaction
I have to say, I used to work at an Eye Hospital in London in the Pharmacy, and the amount of patients we’d see with lash extension issues was terrifying. Allergic reactions being the most common, but also infections, damage to the cornea or even lice! In my opinion, and the opinion of a lot of my colleagues in the hospital, no matter how qualified the technician is, getting lash extensions just isn’t worth the risk. Something that close to your eye with such a high risk of a reaction or infection is just not worth it.
I can't fathom how only the last woman actually went to get medical treatment for this. Swollen, bloodshot, leaking eyes, anything, just get help. I was going through a bad period of health many, many years ago as a teenager. And you know the crusty little pieces you get in the corner of your eyes when you wake up? I was getting a huge amount of them and it was glueing my eyelids shut. I would wake up unable to open my eyes in the morning. You best believe I got medical treatment. But every morning my Mom had to help me with warm water, cotton wool and something else (I cant remember what all these years later) to unglue my eyes. It did clear up in a few days to a week or so, but it was terribly scary for me and I didnt have blood or puss or swelling. How could you not seek medical attention if you have any serious eye problems?
I had that happen to me once when I was in either late elementary or early junior high school. It was absolutely terrifying waking up and being physically unable to open my eyes or see. My mom called it hay fever and it was already known that I had allergies that manifested through eye symptoms so I didn’t need to go to the hospital, but the thought of someone having extreme reactions via pus and blood in their eyes and NOT going to the hospital is insane to me. I know it’s a bit evil to say, but it feels a bit like an intelligence/common sense indicator when someone has enough money to go to the hospital for something that is clearly serious yet they sit on their butt and twiddle their thumbs acting like it’s fine and will go away without medical intervention.
@@Polyeurythane 100%. I honestly can't remember what the cause was for me (like I said it was not a good health time). But as soon as it got to be more than usual crusties, I went to a medical professional. It was safe but it was scary. I can't understand how someone in the middle of the day has puss glueing their eyes shut and doesn't go to the doctor or hospital. What?!?!
So true that an allergy/sensitivity can arise unexpectedly! I bleached and dyed my hair for years until one time I broke out all behind my ears, back of neck and scalp. I didn't think it was a big deal & would clear up but the skin behind my ears started to peel and fall off and was constantly oozing clear discharge. My hair would get matted to my ears and the quack doctors around here took 2 years to figure out how to fix it. It was awful, my whole body broke out in the itchiest rash during this time. A new doctor finally helped me by realizing my skin had got infected from the initial allergic reaction. Years later I tried semi permanent dye to see if I could use that instead of permanent- NOPE, I broke out again but went to the doctor before it got too bad. I'll never risk it again!
If you’re having salon lash extensions done, they shouldn’t rip your own lashes out. Our eyelashes naturally fall off & regenerate & the extension should jus fall off with the old shafts. Also I think if you’re keeping your lashes (any kind) on for over 3 days, you should def use a foam cleanser bc you can get like hair follicle mites n shit & it can cause even worse problems
I had a pretty bad eye infection when I was younger with pus running down my face every hour, it was SUPER painful and from getting blush in my eye. A good brand that is. I will say tho that with the last girl, just because both her eyes got bad doesnt mean it was both the lashes. It is super easy to touch the bad eye and then accidently rub the good one and transfering dirt and infection.
I got an allergic reaction to hair bleach and the hairdresser talked to me like I was a moron saying it wasn't possible. Next time I got it done I got anaphylactic shock, and even whilst I was wheezing and terrified she still insisted it wasn't possible and MADE ME PAY before I could get an ambulance.
I just had a similar but less severe reaction to eyelash extensions. They did strongly suggest several times that I had a patch test. I declined bc I had had eyelash extensions a few years ago without a problem and I was going on a trip. 2 days later my eyes were red, swollen, kinda oozing, and extremely itchy. I made an appointment to have them removed, but the day of the appointment they seemed to be fine and over the reaction. So I kept them on. Big mistake! They got red and itchy again and I got a rash on my eyelids. I picked them off myself so I'm sure I lost a lot of natural lashes too. 2 weeks later and just now noticing improvement.
Omg this is so terrifying! I used to get lash extensions, and I used to overlook the mild eye irritation that I would have for the first couple of days after having them done. I eventually realized that I was destroying my real lashes, and the glue is not good for the eyes.
As someone who just this year tried to “tough it out” when they had serious eye issues… just go see an eye doctor. Sometimes it’s as simple as taking a prescription eye drop for a couple days or two weeks. I was literally not even able to look at my phone screen at the lowest brightness in a pitch black room, my eyes were so sensitive to light.
Pay attention to your other allergies, they could clue you in to how you could react to some of these products and procedures. I’m super allergic to adhesives- bandages, sports tape, stickers, they take my skin right off with them. The few times I’ve tried false lashes for Halloween, no shock, my eyes are red and burning by the end of the day. I can only imagine what would happen if I were to get lash extensions. Magnetic strip lashes end up working way better for my skin if that’s the look I’m going for
Are you allergic to adhesion itself or latex? I have the same issue but I’m allergic to latex. Most eyelash glues have latex so I have to be really careful when buying lash glue, but when they’re latex free they’re fine!
Same! For me, it takes time, too, so if I wear a bandaid for a day - I'm usually okay, but leave it on for longer, and I will have a bandaid-shaped rash. I can wear falsies maybe once a month, but if I try and do it more often, my eyelids will be red and itchy. I also had a similar reaction to a temporary tattoo, the one with jagua fruit, I think. Tattoo shaped rash immediately lol 🥲
@@xErinxx ditto! Duo's a great lash glue even if you aren't allergic to latex, and i make sure to buy the latex-free various first aid items like tape and bandages
It’s time for Sunday chit chat with James. I had eyelash extensions in the nail salon in 2014. Never again ETA- I am considering a professional service and I will check for patch tests
I remember as a teenager I woke up with one eye extremely swollen, sealed shut and the area around my eye was all crazy too. My dad took me straight to the walk in and everyone was looking at me and asking if I had been in a fight. It was so embarrassing. I ended up having really bad conjunctivitis. The doctor was able to open my eye and clean it up and I got the medicine I needed and thank god never had it since it was awful
OMG I’m fuming. As a licensed esthetician I am so mortified and I have SO much to say. Firstly: Your esthetician or lash tech should ALWAYS recommend you to see a doctor in the case of pain, swelling, fever, or discoloration of the skin or orifice. As far as lash extensions go, if a client of mine ever had any sort of reaction, #1 I’m not telling them it’ll be fine. I’m asking them a ton of questions to determine the seriousness of the situation (either visit me or the doctor). I’m recommending they have the lashes removed ASAP, and then to the eye doctor right away if there are still issues after removal. A lot of cases, once the extensions are off, the eyes get better relatively quickly, but that’s why you always reach out to your professional right away if you sense any sort of problem. Your concern may be very common, and your practitioner may be able to help you right away, and a doctor wouldn’t be necessary. Or they may say, ‘Run to the ER, why are you calling me?!’ Lol Second, if your eyes are THAT F***ED, GO to the DOCTOR!💀 I can’t believe those girls.🤦♀️ And that brings me to my third comment; the estheticians reaction. What a shame. There’s the red flag, that “professional” should not be practicing. I can tell you a lot of my clients have told me that in the past, they felt like their concerns weren’t taken seriously by a practitioner. This unfortunately seems very common. Aside from listening to our clients, the most important thing we can do as professionals is learn proper safety and heath protocols, and know how to deal with problems as they arise. Fourth statement, research your practitioner! Ask them questions about what types of products they use, and where they received their training. Do they hold any licenses? I first thought this horror story was about a practitioner who used Shein lash extensions on a client. Wouldn’t put it past shein to carry something like that. Lol I mean, people are even doing their own lash lifts, which is f-ing sketchy to me, but you do you I guess. Lol Ok, I think my rant is done. Please be safe and research people you’re going to for treatments. We work with an organ- the skin, and your eyes, treat us as if we were doctors. You wan to see the best doctor right? Ok, tata for now!😊
I had surgery and didn't know until afterwards I was allergic to the glue they used to stick on the dressing that was on. I broke out in unbelievabley itchy welts- in the middle of my back, where I couldn't touch because there was a surgical incision healing ... It was awful. Just the glue.
With strip lashes, its usually the glue used to apply them that causes any irritation or allergic reaction. I wonder if the glue was from shein as well?🤷♀️😳 latex in a lot of lash glues cause reactions in people who are sensitive 😢
I’ve always wanted to try lash extensions, but hesitated. Never did I think THIS could happen! After watching this, it’s a HELL NO for me. I’ll be just as pretty with my natural, boring lashes that God blessed me with. Thank you for sharing this story.♥️🙏🏼 🎃HAPPY👻HALLOWEEN🎃
As a person that is severely allergic to many facial/hair products, thank you for testing your clients before proceeding with your service. I learned the hard way that it's not going to be "fine" if it really goes south, I went to hospital with a near anaphylactic shock because I wanted to dye my hair black. Even when I let my hair be bleached a year before that my skin was severely irritated for days. Don't let your customers be dumb, please! I didn't do the swab both times and now deeply regret ever dying my hair.
I’ve always tried to be careful with my eyes- always making sure I get my contacts out, not using too old makeup, etc. Hell, I was even avoiding fake eyelashes doing colorguard my senior year. remember when I got my hair dyed professionally I used permanent dye thinking it was just box dye that gave me a reaction. I was WRONG. My lymph nodes swelled up, and then when my under eye began swelling, I immediately knew something was wrong and got some steroids and the swelling went down. I don’t blame the hairdresser/colorist, I just frankly should’ve known better. But yeah- I’m always cautious of fake eyelashes and other things; I think I’ll just save up for lasik and take care of my eyes.
I had a similar reaction to eyelash extensions and false lashes as well. It wasn't as bad as these situations since I went to the doctors right away. Since I have been seeing my dermatologist, I'm able to buy products that I know I'm not allergic to more. For eyelash glues I can only use one with two ingredients, Acrylates/Ethylhexyl Acrylate copolymer, water.
I got truly shocked on how people don't talk about alergies caused by gel, acrylic, polygel extensions. I tried gel nails once and it gave me a minor allergy on my finger, after that I tried polygel which people said it was safer for skin so I bought a small starter kit. First I tried to put on those fake fingers and turned out really pretty so I tried making on my pinky finger after that. Once I noticed the allergy after some days I carefully removed the extensions but just got worst, my finger skin peel off and got all deformed for about 1 whole month. Now after treatment my skin is going back to normal but I won't try anything from now on. I'm really frustrated cuz I always see people saying how amazing these are but that wasn't the truth for me
P.S.A whitening/britening eye drops will not and do not help with irritation or allergies, if anything they can make things worse. They work by restricting blood vessels in your eyes that cause the redness, so while things might look better you may inadvertently be causing further irritation. If you do use eye drops just use regular hydrating ones, or better yet ask the pharmacist or your doctor.
Like the contact eps one thing i dont play with is my eyes. Now that everyone wanting to have a side hustle lashes is one of the things they sell and they get them from shein, aliexpress and other dropshipping sites with no testing or safety regulations. And its scary to think about
this is actually crazy, knowing she waited so long and didn’t even want to take the lashes off. my eyes are sensitive so they frequently get swollen and I get a stye sometimes bc of the slightest bit of dust or eye makeup. therefore, I understand the “shock” which is normal bc of the inflammation so it’s more so like an inflamed twitching sensation. however, I’ve never had blood pooling at the bottom or sooo much mucus or really any at all come out from it swelling so bad. however, I can say that they usually say to use a warm towel to help it but it only makes it go down a little and then comes back worse. so now I just use a freezing cold towel.
I got eyelash extensions and had a bad reaction to the flumes of the glue. Not the glue itself though. My eyes over a week were irritated and blood shot. Plus the up keep of these lashes is extensive. Washing my face was a big deal. In my opinion stay away. Thank gosh nothing worse happened but I’m sticking to my glamnetic lashes from now on. Luv ya James!🩵
For all of those of you you who are not from the US and wondering why she didn't immediately go the ER... In the US, even if you have good insurance, if you go to the ER and are not admitted to the hospital (like if they treat you in the ER and it is not something severe enough to actually be admitted to ICU or something like that) it can cost you upwards of $500. If you don't have insurance, it is generally at least a couple thousand. I has to go the ER when I had just moved back to my home state of CA from NY so I didn't have insurance at the time, because I had a 103° fever for over 2 days straight. I tried to go to a urgent care because I knew I had Strep Throat but they referred me to the ER instead... I was there for two hours, they figured out I had Strep Throat (of course), and wrote me a prescription for antibiotics. It cost me $4,600. And the antibiotics were $60 on top of that. That was in 2012, and the costs are even higher now.
If you have enough money to go get eyelash extensions and a refill, you have enough money to go to the emergency room when your eyes start to weep pus and marinate in blood 🤷♀️ IMHO
Your eyesight is so precious! I wouldn't care if I had to go into a huuuge debt. If my eyes looked like that, I'd even run to the hospital. I only got one body and one set of eyes. It's my job to take care of them. I really can't understand why she didn't seek medical help.
Same kind of thing happened to me too with lash extensions this year. My eyes got so red and sore. I guess it was because of the glue they used. I went to see a doctor and got some eye drops which helped. Never gonna get lash extensions again...
Even something as simple as starting a new medication or supplement can make you vulnerable to an allergic reaction so always do the patch test. 🥰 Another great one, James! Thank you💙👍
From years of irresponsible contact lens habits in my teens, my eyes are incredibly sensitive to this day.. 20 years later. So i have to be very careful about anything getting in my eyes. Well the Laroche Posay double repair sunscreen slid right into my eyes from my gery oily skin, and it felt like acid. I couldnt open my eyes without worsening burning. Thankfully the nurse at work had sterile saline syringes and sprayed them at my eyes and then i would wipe them and repeat till i could stand to open my eyes and use the eye cups to flush my eyes! It was the worst! My eyes were so stingy and red the rest of the day. When i got home I immediatly washed my face and put in my nighttime eye gel and went to bed bc having my eyes open hurt so bad. Ive had sunscreen sting before, but nothing like that!😮
Great informative video. I really appreciate that you and your brother Robert are so serious and aware about you respective subjects and at the same time completely all over the place on your twin channel 😜 I’m obsessed!
It's sad to see people not being careful! Never ever buy anything for your skin from cheap products or companies like Shein. Even if you look up all ingredients there can still be cross contamination and you want to reduce your chance of that happening by using credible and safe brands. You can even get surprise allergic reactions sometimes.
I’m really curious if it was the lashes that she bought or if it was glue that might’ve came with it. I’ve bought strip lashes from all kinds of dodgy places, but I always use the glue that I have from my local drugstore and not the stuff that comes in the package. If it’s the lashes themselves that’s kind of crazy. I don’t know what would be in them that you would be allergic to
My daughter is allergic to developers for dye. I had an allergic reaction to ink from a tattoo and it was a nightmare bc the tattoo was on my head. It was covered in hives and blisters that produced oozing liquid and it itched like you wouldn't believe. It was horrendous and there was nothing I could do but wait it out bc it's permanent.
I think having an allergy patch test is only a UK thing because in the US the process of doing that alone would leave you with no clients because getting a referral to an allergist is a hassle on its own not to mention getting insurance to pay for it just for a salon visit. Healthcare isn't as accessible here so the idea of requiring something that's only accessible to people with money and multiple times? Like I said, you wouldn't have clients because most people would not go because that's too difficult a requirement for one appointment.
Hey! Oh no it’s not a proper like derm led allergy test! In the case of the salon I worked in, you walk in, request a patch test, we put some of the colour and mix behind the ear and it has to be left there for 24 hours. And then the client just calls if they’ve had a reaction and we’ll cancel their scheduled appointment
@JamesWelsh that makes much more sense because that would be like a three month process and would only be accessible to those who have health insurance
That shein story got me spooked because I bought 2 different sets from them for the first time and was using them perfectly fine with glue I got from the beauty supply and everythingvs been fine so far. As fabulous as they look, I probably won't get their lashes again.
Nothing like this but ended up with an allergic reaction type pink eye from my a fresh new contact lense. It set it within six hours of putting them it. I had to go to urgent care right after work. I actaully took the contact out and worked for several hours and drove to urgent care with only one eye being able to see as that eye still had it's contact in. The other eye (the infected one) i took it out and was walking around with only one eye open. It was so annoying. I haven't worn contacts since. I have given them up. Since then I find that in that eye contacts are hella painful now.
It’s completely unacceptable that she did not go to the hospital! Even if she, as so many have brought up in the comments, is an American and is adverse to going to the hospital. I wouldn’t be worried about a bill if you’re at risk for going blind. Like honey go to the hospital and let them send you the bill afterwards. She’s extremely fortunate that all it took was her removing the lashes and that there wasn’t any permanent damage.
Omg I saw the girl with the glue on lashes and I’ve had problems with them too if I don’t wash them first! Sometimes even if I buy lashes from CVS or Walgreens and don’t wash them first I have the same problems though… I’ve had lash extensions in the past and I HATED them even with the most expensive glue my eyes turned red, and all my lashes fell off. I just accepted that I’ll have to have glue on lashes instead of extensions. I ordered some off shein and literally RIGHT now after sleeping in them I have some irritation on my left eye lid. But it’s gone away in a few hours after washing very well and some alcohol free witch hazel. So if you have problems with the shein glue on lashes wash them first and don’t sleep in them unwashed like I did lol
It’s not just the glue you can be allergic to - the cleaning stuff they use is also something that can be a problem 🤷♀️ I was fine after having mine done - patch test no issues - then 7 hours later my eyes were swollen and itchy and I started getting anaphylaxis symptoms. Went straight back to the salon to get them removed as until they are removed all the symptoms will continue and a&e can’t remove them 🤷♀️
The worst thing that happened to me wasn't on my face, but my nails. I had a manicure, and they nicked my cuticle. A day or two later, I noticed some swelling and redness around the cut, but I didn't think much of it at first. I cleaned it with some soap, water and peroxide. The next day, or two, though, it got worse. It started turning green and purple, and there was a white spot in the middle. When I touched it, it was painful, and I think it might have been warm to the touch, too, but that might have just been my imagination. That was when I knew I had to see a doctor. My sister made me an appointment for the next day after school, and I spent the night and the next day trying (failing) not to think about what it could be. I recognized the symptoms from somewhere, and while I could have just googled it, I didn't want to confirm before the doctor told me what it was. By the time I got to the doctor, I had managed to calm down. The calm lasted right up until the doctor asked me what I was there about. I opened my mouth to tell him what was wrong, but instead of saying words, I just started sobbing. Fortunately, the doctor wasn't fazed at all (and I'm pretty sure he thought I was about to ask for a pregnancy test). He calmed me down enough that I could show him my hand and say "I think it's gangrene. Please don't cut my hand off". To the doctor's credit, he did NOT burst out laughing at me, but I could see how hard he was trying. Then he calmly examined my hand and told me that what I had was, in fact, NOT gangrene, but a paronychia. For those that don't know, a paronychia is a pretty common infection that you can get from picking at hangnails, or in my case, having a subpar manicure done. The doctor didn't even take a whole ten minutes to diagnose me. The treatment was just to soak my hand in warm water and gently squeeze the pus out (that was the white spot I saw, FYI). Repeat as necessary until the infection was fully drained. No medicine. No needles. No reason at all for my little panic attack. In my defense, I was 17 and a more than a little given to dramatics. I had another paronychia a few years after that, but I knew what it was that time. I hope this story helps someone. Make sure if you're going to get a manicure to go to someone who knows what they're doing, and DON'T PICK YOUR HANGNAILS!
I got eyelash extensions for about 6 years.. religiously.. I couldn’t stand how I looked without them. Never had any issues. I was always very careful. That was until about 2 years ago, I had a new lash tech at my regular salon (this place was very reputable in my town and it was not cheap). She glued lashes directly onto my lash line, including one that went directly into the follicle and I ended up with a severe eye infection by the next day. It was really bad. I couldn’t see. I told the salon and they did not take it seriously. They blamed me and said I had an allergic reaction and signed a waiver so there’s nothing they can do, which is untrue as it was confirmed by multiple drs to be an infection due to a lash being stuck in my skin. I never signed anything. I almost ended up needing to go to a specialist, I was close to losing my eyesight, but fortunately the antibiotics worked in time and the swelling went down. It was terrifying because I am already partially blind in my other eye, the infection was on my good eye. I lost all of my lashes. I have never had lash extensions again. I’ve had some recurring infections since. I’m very careful with eye makeup. Fortunately over time I got back into makeup again. I spent more time doing my eye makeup and I become content with how I look with mascara, eyeshadow, liner, etc. Taking all my supplements as directed by my dr helped my lashes grow and thicken up again. I’ll never get them done again after this. It also turned me off getting my nails done despite never having an issue. I come from a family with a background in hair & beauty, my mum owns a salon & before I decided to study psychology, I was an apprentice and studying hair & beauty. So I cut & colour my own hair, do my own nails & I only trust myself. It very much scared me away from almost all procedures. I even stopped getting microneedling and facials done out of fear and just focused on learning about skincare & getting a great daily skincare routine. They were reported but nothing ever happened. They remove bad reviews but I have warned others. I had only ever had good experiences for years prior to this. It scares me because I was always very careful to only go to reputable salons but all it took was one inexperienced tech to destroy all of that. I can imagine many others have had the same thing happen.
It's so incredibly scary what she had to go through and I'm utterly shocked she was advised to go to the dr sooner. Just a note on patch testing in the eyelash extension industry, it isn't really a requirement. As you said, you can have a reaction to anything applied to you, your skin hair ect. at any time. Within patching testing for eyelash extensions around 10 lashes are applied per eye - compared to the full 200-300 in the full set appointment. Thats a massive difference in glue used & fumes emitted. As long as your tech has spoken to you through the whole process, the risks involved and yes you can do a patch test of course (better to be safe than sorry!) But there are many cases where people have had a patch test and been completely reaction free, then gone for their full set and had a reaction. In my opinion it's far more important to go to a tech that will be honest with you, make you feel safe & is educated properly. Rather than someone who just offers a patch test and doesnt fully even understand the whole process of lash extensions.
You can develop an allergy at any age as well. I'm 44 now, had total thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine treatment at 43 for papillary thyroid cancer. A few months after my surgery, I started having such severe allergic reactions to eye serum and eye makeup products (ones I'd used for years) that I had to go to the hospital--swelling, pus, one eye swelled shut. Apparently I now have a compromised immune system plus thyroid eye disease due to my thyroid issues; my eyes are SO sensitive to everything now! It could be worse, but it still sucks.
Back in the early 90's I was that kid. I had back then & still do now dark hair on my upper lip that only got worse once I started my periods. I had lasses bitching & laughing with lads shouting really unkind names, also laughing... I was so ashamed, embarred & miserable. I begged mum to let me wax, she refused. Hard. Made me feel even worse for being so "weak" letting the bullies get to me. She did offer to buy me a product to bleach the hair on my lip. It just made everything so much worse being a brunette with now almost white hair lining my top lip. Even with my permanent tears, truanting & not leaving the house - she would not relent. I had to resort to plucking each hair out separately. That Mum did the exact right thing for her girl, well done lady! I'll fight anyone who disagrees 😅 I've live it & it's hell. I'm close to 50 now & don't give a crap, so it did not set any kind of president about beauty standards at all. I'll wax every now & again if I have an event or special occasion... I love my lady 'stashe & laugh about it with my hubby, he calls me Brian Blessed & I tell him that he's just jelly because his beautiful wife can grow a better moustashe than he can!! 🤣😂🤣
Not being funny but if you think Shein are going to be producing something designed to go practically on your eyeball in a sterile or even clean environment you might wanna think again 😭
🚨 CORRECTION🚨 you can not patch test for lash extensions. I thought there was some form of solution involved but, just like gel polish for example, the lash glue should never make contact with the skin, therefor no patch test is needed.
You can of course get a test from a dermatologist for things like acrylates but this is an allergy that can form over time and may not show on a patch test
you can do a lash patch test by applying about 10 lashes per eye, usually just short ones that won't be noticeable, and leave them for 48 hours before getting a full set done. this exposes you to the product to see if you'll have a reaction. however, a full set can take up to 2-3 hours so there is a chance that even if you do not have a reaction to the patch test you could still react to a full set due to the longer exposure time.
also lash techs should NEVER give medical advice. if something goes wrong you always tell the client to seek medical attention from a doctor.
That’s correct that it shouldn’t touch the skin but also allergies to lash extension adhesive typically develop over time so any kind of “test” even applying a couple lashes like the above poster suggested won’t alleviate all instances of allergic reaction as people could get them for years before developing an allergy.
And also reactions will get worse each time so once you have a reaction you should never get them again.
@@jaxandthebag4895 so true, thanks for adding on!
Second client doesn’t clean her lashes either. That’s what all the crusty was. Sometimes it’s not ONLY a bad lash tech. The other part is client upkeep
I’m just… I’m so shocked that she didn’t go to the ER immediately after her mom looked over and saw what looked to be blood pooling in her eyes. I can’t even fathom a universe in which that wouldn’t be someone’s immediate response….
I would’ve gone THE MOOOMENT my eyes started going red
That is exactly what I was thinking!
Right?! Girl, there is BLOOD pooling in your goddamn eyeballs, this is not a drill
I don't know if this was in the US, but in some parts of America there's a strong culture against going to the doctor. It's probably related to the cost of healthcare, but even if you can afford to go a lot of people don't bother to
yeah usually crying blood is a sign that you need to immediately go to the ER, or that you're just a goffic vampire and preps need to stop flamin
I can't believe Haley's mom didn't take her to the doctor right away. Not only can you be permanently blinded by an infection, but your brain is vulnerable to the bacteria as well. Scary.
For real. That Mom was neglectful and irresponsible to her child’s health by not taking her to the doctor when HER EYES ARE FULL OF BLOOD !?!? Absolutely ridiculous
Didn’t even think about that terrifying
Her Mom is probably narcissist.
In college I woke up with an irritated and puffy eye so I went to the campus clinic to have it checked out. They gave me some eye drops to help with the irritation but then it got worse, it turned red, and I had to go to the emergency room! Turns out, I had an allergic reaction to whatever was in those eye drops that I got from the campus clinic. Our eyes are sensitive! We have to take care of them!
Probably the preservative. I use eye drops for dry eye, but my eyes became sensitive to the preservative and I had a similar allergic reaction. I now have to use preservative free drops. I developed an allergic reaction to both shower gel and hygiene wipes and both times the doctor said it was the preservative. My doctor said it is a very common allergy.
I realised I was sensitive to eyedrops because I would immediately develop headaches / migraines.
I Googled to see if this was common but the websites weren't helpful. I'm glad to see this discussion, I thought I was the only one who faced issues with eyedrops!
As a Lash technician myself it's horrifying some of the stories I've heard that have scared women away from ever getting it done again. People getting their eyelashes CUT or going to a hair salon or nail salon and getting botched cluster lashes that were applied with HAIR GLUE it's just absolutely insane to me what people will do for $$$.
I'm tempted to get extensions but I don't know the first thing to look for for a good lash tech
Sometimes (more than "sometimes") I want to Touch my Head about this, what specifically Young Girls does with her Bodies - Hair - Nails - Faces - and Lashes, Eyebrows and Natural Things AS this! 😢😢
@@Kayla_P99Google "lash extension technicians in my area" and see which business catches your eye. Make sure they have some kind of social media/website so that you can see their work. Read through the reviews as well. All the lash technicians I've went to were always close to having 5 stars or had 5 stars. Usually lash extension places are quiet, clean, and have blocked off/secluded rooms for clients to lay down in and get the service done. If you're not seeing any of that, don't proceed
cuz y'all tax. anyways
hang on, what'd you mean they're cutting eyelashes out here??? thats actually mad
Pretty harmless, no? NO. 😂 I can't believe that the first 2 people didn't seek medical help immediately. The 2nd one not even questioning her crusty eyelashes is so concerning to me. Anything to do with the eyes is 100% not worth the risk because there is so much at stake if it gets worse.
They're mad lucky they didn't go blind, especially the one that kept going back to her quack lash tech. Our eyesight is probably one of the most taken for granted senses, but hopefully they learned their lesson before they try anything that does make them lose it.
@wolvie1618 they were getting clear signs of infection, there is SO much at risk as well as your sight (which I'm not undervaluing) but you can get the infection tracking to your brain and, well, that can be it!
Something I'd like to add with allergic reactions is that even if you're not allergic to something you've used multiple times with no problem, allergies can develop at a later date.
I agree with you 100% I’m 30 and just started last year havjng spring allergies before last year pollen was never an issue. Last year while on a vacation My eyes were fucked it wasn’t till after the vacation where I went to a botanical garden it happened again it was so severe I ended up in the er..before that I never had any allergies mt whole life…shit happens the worst story was the girl with the hair dye allergy with the swollen head…we need to patch test and get an allergen test yearly..it’s scary
@@gabrielladiaz6933 Spring allergies are rough. I've always had them. Ragweed and cottonwood are the biggest culprits for me. 😫
I have an uncle who used to work as a chef and developed a shellfish allergy in his mid 40s. That's actually what inspired my original comment.
Also, I 100% with yearly allergen tests. Ideally, patch tests should be done before each session.
ive developed a nasty latex allergy only within the last 2 or 3 years, i noticed it after i got my navel pierced. my piercer put a square gauze pad over it with plaster tape around the edges.. i had a red bubbly flaky frame on my stomach for 3 months!😂 way to show off my new piercing🥲😂
@@Kornkitt3n 😅 That sounds hectic.
Allergies are scary, honestly.
I hate that so many lash techs are so careless and inconsiderate of the potential medically consequences that could happen when they rush or are just not good at applying them. Of course, issues can happen in the best of hands but ive been to 5 lash techs and my current one is the only one who ive had zero irritation with. It seems like everyone thinks they can be a lash tech these days🤦🏻♀️ I think there should be a cosmetology degree or some kind of oversight. right now, they can take courses with anyone who thinks they are qualified to teach😢
Our highschool has a cos clas and I think that we should all have something like that if we want to go into cosmetology immediately after highschool, but otherwise you should take like. 6-12 month course
If your in the us most states I believe you need to be a este or a cosmo. Ask to see their license!
This is' a great Idea !
Nobody in Germany is Just thinking about something like this !!! 😮
But this is' something because that, that our european Kids and Youngsters Not so intensive using Cosmetics - thank's God 🫣❣️🙏😂😂
But at the other Side: learning about Chemicals, Procedures - the whole Knowledge about healthy Skin - should BE really in a time and hours of learning to know something more about human Skin, growing Up in Puberty (as Example), to treat your Skin at the Best you can do yourself and learn, to know about the Indigrients and also your/their/our Food Intake what can make your Skin and your whole Body to getting worse - or the very best it IS possible ❣️🥰👏🎉
@@Bibagodiva55plenty of German girls get eyelash extensions. Sorry to burst your self-righteous bubble.
When I was 21(16 years ago) I worked for Benefit cosmetics and one of our biggest sellers was BooBoo Zap, a salicylic acid treatment. I had been showing a guest the product and gotten some on my hand. I didn’t wash my hands immediately after handling it. BIG mistake, huge! I must have I gotten an itch and instinctively rubbed my eye. I can’t remember if I realized immediately after or if it took some time, but I do remember the pain. As soon as I realized what I had done, I went to the back to flush my eye with water. It helped, but I ended up at the eye doctor the next day because it hurt to blink. The ophthalmologist told me that I needed to go on steroid eye drops, because it had made small holes in top layer of my retina. Luckily, I got to it in time, so my eye is fine. Moral of the story, immediately wash your hands after doing your skincare with actives. Don’t be stupid like me lol.
Holy sh!t HOLES?!? Yikes! 😨
@@wolvie1618 It was just in the first layer, but yeah. She showed me a picture of it. I kinda looked like when you have a shallow chip in the surface of a tile. That’s the best way I can describe
I had booboo zap! I remember shelaq from back then, too. And that thick eyeliner pencil. I miss the eyeliner pencil and brow lift pencil most
Christ, never mind coming away with all her eyelashes after story 1, but the fact she had no issues with her sight! That’s scary!
That's exactly what I was thinking !
The eyes can be hella resilient
@@acid_tongue_4315 considering her eyes were swollen and bleeding, that’s major indicators for receiving urgent medical care. Eyes are resilient with the correct care…along with all organs of the body if you care for them correctly.
@acid_tongue_4315 they *can* be but they also can be ruined and they can ALSO track infection to the brain. With like....immediate pus everywhere for days that would have been my first concern. Possibly even more than losing her sight although that's clearly permanently disabling in a way that I believe is really difficult to adapt to, but brain infections can end your life or leave you with permanent neurological issues. It's no joke
as someone who has bad eyesight and needs glasses, even a natural eyelash going into my eye is not fun. I could never imagine going through a thing this terrifying and dangerous .....and trusting the salon again to help. Also, love the IVE shirt 😊
YES, THIS! I don't wear false lashes myself, I use a mascara that doesn't irritate my eyes, but it took a long time to find one that didn't. lol Anyway, having my lashes fall into my eyes hurts so much, I know what you mean! This is just another reason for me not to ever get my lashes done or wear false lashes, tbh.
I used to do lash extensions and 9 times out of 10 when someone came from another lash stylist to me for a fill I would have to take them all off and start fresh. There are so many horrible sets being done out there. It's one of the biggest reasons I quit doing it.
The fact that people are jumping from tech to tech for maintenance also explains why so many bad professionals are able to stay in business…. like don’t go trial testing when the subject is your eyes, I can see how frustrating that must have been to treat careless client after careless client.
I try telling people to not buy anything from places like shein and temu (for a number of reasons). But they just don't want to listen because it's such (a good deal). Sometimes your better off doing without something than buying these items.
Bitch some of us aren't born with a silver spoon in our mouths, poor people needs clothes too
Or at least don’t try to buy stuff that’s gonna go in your eye “on a budget”… that’s like common sense.
@@biazacha exactly, don't play with your health. Nothing that goes on or in your body should be bought at a discount online. Save up and make the investment because the hospital bills you could get at the end of a bad reaction will be far more than the cost of a reputable product from a reputable seller
Unfortunately there is a good brand carried by shien and its a shame cuz joocyee is a reliable brand and established in asia but its carried by shien of all brands ☹️
@@espeon871 just make sure that it's not a knock off of the real thing because that happens all the time.
I'm 60 years old (and, yes, I come here because James is awesome!). I've been having something (perms, color, hilights, etc,) done to my hair for over 45 years, and I have NEVER, not once, had a salon professional perform a patch test on me for anything. Is it a UK thing to patch test? So smart! I'm in the US, and I've never heard of a salon that patch tests.
I move to the USA about 2 years I’m from Costa Rica and well in my country for the health services to approve salón they must do it. If they don’t you just go and report and an investigation will be performed. I move to the USA and went to a salon in 2 states NC and Georgia and you are right none of them offer me and I ask they said isn’t necessary
yeah its a legal requirement here in the uk, if a salon is caught not doing them they can be fined/prosecuted this goes for not only hair but i had to get a patch test done for eyebrow tint too. I think they only really pursue legal action against a salon though if someone had a bad reaction and they weren't patch tested.
I’m in California and my hairdresser made me do a patch test a week before she highlighted my hair. But she’s also teaches advanced hair color technique classes, so she always goes by the book for these things.
I can’t imagine the lash tech didn’t call an ambulance herself! I’d be terrified if a client looked like that! And it’s your EYES
I love these “when beauty turns ugly” videos please please keep making them 🙏🏼 ❤
Same here I love them. I tend to get every side affect possible and like to know about risks
I'm Always very careful with everything i bought for my skin, hair or eyes. Even the best brands can have side effects. But when is not a good brand the risk is much worst and huge. I think these vídeos are actually very important. Thank you James. I love your opinions and your voice is just so smooth, you can talk about everything that it always sounds amazing, lol. 💜
Very well put, I couldn’t agree more 👍🏼🌹🌿
Heck yes💚
As James says natural doesn’t mean better. I’m hypersensitive to so much stuff I refuse to use things that are “all natural” anymore since a rose water mask left me with chemical burns on my cheeks. Always patch test anything that you’re trying for the first time and anything red should also always be patch tested.
@@sarahwatson3192 i had a serious skin problem with Dove and Vichy rose cream. My skin doesn't like anything from those two brands.
Even a brand you trust can make a product that isn’t safe/good for you. Happened to me with a brand of lip balms that work well on me, but when I tried one of their face masks it gave me a reaction
I have to say, I used to work at an Eye Hospital in London in the Pharmacy, and the amount of patients we’d see with lash extension issues was terrifying. Allergic reactions being the most common, but also infections, damage to the cornea or even lice! In my opinion, and the opinion of a lot of my colleagues in the hospital, no matter how qualified the technician is, getting lash extensions just isn’t worth the risk. Something that close to your eye with such a high risk of a reaction or infection is just not worth it.
I can't fathom how only the last woman actually went to get medical treatment for this. Swollen, bloodshot, leaking eyes, anything, just get help.
I was going through a bad period of health many, many years ago as a teenager. And you know the crusty little pieces you get in the corner of your eyes when you wake up? I was getting a huge amount of them and it was glueing my eyelids shut. I would wake up unable to open my eyes in the morning. You best believe I got medical treatment. But every morning my Mom had to help me with warm water, cotton wool and something else (I cant remember what all these years later) to unglue my eyes. It did clear up in a few days to a week or so, but it was terribly scary for me and I didnt have blood or puss or swelling. How could you not seek medical attention if you have any serious eye problems?
I had that happen to me once when I was in either late elementary or early junior high school. It was absolutely terrifying waking up and being physically unable to open my eyes or see. My mom called it hay fever and it was already known that I had allergies that manifested through eye symptoms so I didn’t need to go to the hospital, but the thought of someone having extreme reactions via pus and blood in their eyes and NOT going to the hospital is insane to me. I know it’s a bit evil to say, but it feels a bit like an intelligence/common sense indicator when someone has enough money to go to the hospital for something that is clearly serious yet they sit on their butt and twiddle their thumbs acting like it’s fine and will go away without medical intervention.
@@Polyeurythane 100%. I honestly can't remember what the cause was for me (like I said it was not a good health time).

I can't understand how someone in the middle of the day has puss glueing their eyes shut and doesn't go to the doctor or hospital. What?!?!

JAMES THE IVE SHIRT?!! IM OBSESSED
So true that an allergy/sensitivity can arise unexpectedly!
I bleached and dyed my hair for years until one time I broke out all behind my ears, back of neck and scalp. I didn't think it was a big deal & would clear up but the skin behind my ears started to peel and fall off and was constantly oozing clear discharge. My hair would get matted to my ears and the quack doctors around here took 2 years to figure out how to fix it. It was awful, my whole body broke out in the itchiest rash during this time. A new doctor finally helped me by realizing my skin had got infected from the initial allergic reaction.
Years later I tried semi permanent dye to see if I could use that instead of permanent- NOPE, I broke out again but went to the doctor before it got too bad.
I'll never risk it again!
If you’re having salon lash extensions done, they shouldn’t rip your own lashes out. Our eyelashes naturally fall off & regenerate & the extension should jus fall off with the old shafts. Also I think if you’re keeping your lashes (any kind) on for over 3 days, you should def use a foam cleanser bc you can get like hair follicle mites n shit & it can cause even worse problems
Every one has hair mites. Its natural and part of every one. Google it.
I had a pretty bad eye infection when I was younger with pus running down my face every hour, it was SUPER painful and from getting blush in my eye. A good brand that is. I will say tho that with the last girl, just because both her eyes got bad doesnt mean it was both the lashes. It is super easy to touch the bad eye and then accidently rub the good one and transfering dirt and infection.
They contacted the lash technician?? I would have been in the emergency room!
STOP I LOVE THE IVE SHIRT SM!! U ATE THAT
I got an allergic reaction to hair bleach and the hairdresser talked to me like I was a moron saying it wasn't possible. Next time I got it done I got anaphylactic shock, and even whilst I was wheezing and terrified she still insisted it wasn't possible and MADE ME PAY before I could get an ambulance.
What the heck??😮
I would’ve sued. That’s literally why there are strand tests recommended before the full process. Omg I’m so sorry that happened to you
Omg 😢 so sorry you went through that! You should sue :(
Sue if it hasnt been long.
I would've called 911 or the authorities! She was holding you hostage!

I just had a similar but less severe reaction to eyelash extensions. They did strongly suggest several times that I had a patch test. I declined bc I had had eyelash extensions a few years ago without a problem and I was going on a trip. 2 days later my eyes were red, swollen, kinda oozing, and extremely itchy. I made an appointment to have them removed, but the day of the appointment they seemed to be fine and over the reaction. So I kept them on. Big mistake! They got red and itchy again and I got a rash on my eyelids. I picked them off myself so I'm sure I lost a lot of natural lashes too. 2 weeks later and just now noticing improvement.
Omg this is so terrifying! I used to get lash extensions, and I used to overlook the mild eye irritation that I would have for the first couple of days after having them done. I eventually realized that I was destroying my real lashes, and the glue is not good for the eyes.
As someone who just this year tried to “tough it out” when they had serious eye issues… just go see an eye doctor. Sometimes it’s as simple as taking a prescription eye drop for a couple days or two weeks. I was literally not even able to look at my phone screen at the lowest brightness in a pitch black room, my eyes were so sensitive to light.
I’m distracted with his shirt 😂😂😂 I was like “eeehh wonyoung? Yujin???” Only realised it’s Ive shirt 😂
James!!! Please, please do more of these story time videos.. this suits you so much! You can add it as a regular series!
Pay attention to your other allergies, they could clue you in to how you could react to some of these products and procedures. I’m super allergic to adhesives- bandages, sports tape, stickers, they take my skin right off with them. The few times I’ve tried false lashes for Halloween, no shock, my eyes are red and burning by the end of the day. I can only imagine what would happen if I were to get lash extensions.
Magnetic strip lashes end up working way better for my skin if that’s the look I’m going for
Are you allergic to adhesion itself or latex? I have the same issue but I’m allergic to latex. Most eyelash glues have latex so I have to be really careful when buying lash glue, but when they’re latex free they’re fine!
Same! For me, it takes time, too, so if I wear a bandaid for a day - I'm usually okay, but leave it on for longer, and I will have a bandaid-shaped rash. I can wear falsies maybe once a month, but if I try and do it more often, my eyelids will be red and itchy.
I also had a similar reaction to a temporary tattoo, the one with jagua fruit, I think. Tattoo shaped rash immediately lol 🥲
@@xErinxx ditto! Duo's a great lash glue even if you aren't allergic to latex, and i make sure to buy the latex-free various first aid items like tape and bandages
It’s time for Sunday chit chat with James.
I had eyelash extensions in the nail salon in 2014. Never again
ETA- I am considering a professional service and I will check for patch tests

I remember as a teenager I woke up with one eye extremely swollen, sealed shut and the area around my eye was all crazy too. My dad took me straight to the walk in and everyone was looking at me and asking if I had been in a fight. It was so embarrassing. I ended up having really bad conjunctivitis. The doctor was able to open my eye and clean it up and I got the medicine I needed and thank god never had it since it was awful
OMG I’m fuming. As a licensed esthetician I am so mortified and I have SO much to say.
Firstly: Your esthetician or lash tech should ALWAYS recommend you to see a doctor in the case of pain, swelling, fever, or discoloration of the skin or orifice. As far as lash extensions go, if a client of mine ever had any sort of reaction, #1 I’m not telling them it’ll be fine. I’m asking them a ton of questions to determine the seriousness of the situation (either visit me or the doctor). I’m recommending they have the lashes removed ASAP, and then to the eye doctor right away if there are still issues after removal. A lot of cases, once the extensions are off, the eyes get better relatively quickly, but that’s why you always reach out to your professional right away if you sense any sort of problem. Your concern may be very common, and your practitioner may be able to help you right away, and a doctor wouldn’t be necessary. Or they may say, ‘Run to the ER, why are you calling me?!’ Lol
Second, if your eyes are THAT F***ED, GO to the DOCTOR!💀 I can’t believe those girls.🤦♀️
And that brings me to my third comment; the estheticians reaction. What a shame. There’s the red flag, that “professional” should not be practicing. I can tell you a lot of my clients have told me that in the past, they felt like their concerns weren’t taken seriously by a practitioner. This unfortunately seems very common. Aside from listening to our clients, the most important thing we can do as professionals is learn proper safety and heath protocols, and know how to deal with problems as they arise.
Fourth statement, research your practitioner! Ask them questions about what types of products they use, and where they received their training. Do they hold any licenses? I first thought this horror story was about a practitioner who used Shein lash extensions on a client. Wouldn’t put it past shein to carry something like that. Lol I mean, people are even doing their own lash lifts, which is f-ing sketchy to me, but you do you I guess. Lol
Ok, I think my rant is done. Please be safe and research people you’re going to for treatments. We work with an organ- the skin, and your eyes, treat us as if we were doctors. You wan to see the best doctor right? Ok, tata for now!😊
I don't trust makeup from shien enough to put on my eyes, face, or lips. I bought an eyeshadow pallette and used it to make nail polish.
I wouldn't even make nail polish with anything from Shein and/or Temu.
I had surgery and didn't know until afterwards I was allergic to the glue they used to stick on the dressing that was on. I broke out in unbelievabley itchy welts- in the middle of my back, where I couldn't touch because there was a surgical incision healing ... It was awful. Just the glue.
😢 I know the feeling.
@@ttyngordon I'm really sorry. Mine was agony. I hope yours wasn't too long, and/ or is at least over & well documented so it doesn't happen again.
With strip lashes, its usually the glue used to apply them that causes any irritation or allergic reaction. I wonder if the glue was from shein as well?🤷♀️😳 latex in a lot of lash glues cause reactions in people who are sensitive 😢
she used her usual glue, same bottle shes been using for a while!
When beauty turns ugly is my favouriteeeeeee
omg omg the ive shirt!!!!!! that's why i love u 🥹🩷🩷
Omg James I love your shirt !!!!
I’ve always wanted to try lash extensions, but hesitated. Never did I think THIS could happen! After watching this, it’s a HELL NO for me. I’ll be just as pretty with my natural, boring lashes that God blessed me with. Thank you for sharing this story.♥️🙏🏼
🎃HAPPY👻HALLOWEEN🎃
As a person that is severely allergic to many facial/hair products, thank you for testing your clients before proceeding with your service. I learned the hard way that it's not going to be "fine" if it really goes south, I went to hospital with a near anaphylactic shock because I wanted to dye my hair black. Even when I let my hair be bleached a year before that my skin was severely irritated for days. Don't let your customers be dumb, please! I didn't do the swab both times and now deeply regret ever dying my hair.
I’ve always tried to be careful with my eyes- always making sure I get my contacts out, not using too old makeup, etc. Hell, I was even avoiding fake eyelashes doing colorguard my senior year. remember when I got my hair dyed professionally I used permanent dye thinking it was just box dye that gave me a reaction. I was WRONG. My lymph nodes swelled up, and then when my under eye began swelling, I immediately knew something was wrong and got some steroids and the swelling went down. I don’t blame the hairdresser/colorist, I just frankly should’ve known better. But yeah- I’m always cautious of fake eyelashes and other things; I think I’ll just save up for lasik and take care of my eyes.
You could make a Halloween series out of stories like this 😮
38 years and I’ve never ever been patch tested. It’s never been offered and I’ve never thought of it.
I love this series so much, please never stop
I had a similar reaction to eyelash extensions and false lashes as well. It wasn't as bad as these situations since I went to the doctors right away. Since I have been seeing my dermatologist, I'm able to buy products that I know I'm not allergic to more. For eyelash glues I can only use one with two ingredients, Acrylates/Ethylhexyl Acrylate copolymer, water.
omggg i love your IVE too who’s your bias 😍😍
Love your IVE shirt!!
I got truly shocked on how people don't talk about alergies caused by gel, acrylic, polygel extensions. I tried gel nails once and it gave me a minor allergy on my finger, after that I tried polygel which people said it was safer for skin so I bought a small starter kit. First I tried to put on those fake fingers and turned out really pretty so I tried making on my pinky finger after that. Once I noticed the allergy after some days I carefully removed the extensions but just got worst, my finger skin peel off and got all deformed for about 1 whole month. Now after treatment my skin is going back to normal but I won't try anything from now on. I'm really frustrated cuz I always see people saying how amazing these are but that wasn't the truth for me
I loved the video and your T-shirt! Thank you for this awesome work!
The IVE shirt 🙌🙌
P.S.A whitening/britening eye drops will not and do not help with irritation or allergies, if anything they can make things worse. They work by restricting blood vessels in your eyes that cause the redness, so while things might look better you may inadvertently be causing further irritation. If you do use eye drops just use regular hydrating ones, or better yet ask the pharmacist or your doctor.
love the ive shirt 💪🏼
I love your Ive shirt 😍😍😍
Like the contact eps one thing i dont play with is my eyes. Now that everyone wanting to have a side hustle lashes is one of the things they sell and they get them from shein, aliexpress and other dropshipping sites with no testing or safety regulations. And its scary to think about
this is actually crazy, knowing she waited so long and didn’t even want to take the lashes off. my eyes are sensitive so they frequently get swollen and I get a stye sometimes bc of the slightest bit of dust or eye makeup. therefore, I understand the “shock” which is normal bc of the inflammation so it’s more so like an inflamed twitching sensation. however, I’ve never had blood pooling at the bottom or sooo much mucus or really any at all come out from it swelling so bad. however, I can say that they usually say to use a warm towel to help it but it only makes it go down a little and then comes back worse. so now I just use a freezing cold towel.
I got eyelash extensions and had a bad reaction to the flumes of the glue. Not the glue itself though. My eyes over a week were irritated and blood shot. Plus the up keep of these lashes is extensive. Washing my face was a big deal. In my opinion stay away. Thank gosh nothing worse happened but I’m sticking to my glamnetic lashes from now on. Luv ya James!🩵
For all of those of you you who are not from the US and wondering why she didn't immediately go the ER...
In the US, even if you have good insurance, if you go to the ER and are not admitted to the hospital (like if they treat you in the ER and it is not something severe enough to actually be admitted to ICU or something like that) it can cost you upwards of $500.
If you don't have insurance, it is generally at least a couple thousand. I has to go the ER when I had just moved back to my home state of CA from NY so I didn't have insurance at the time, because I had a 103° fever for over 2 days straight. I tried to go to a urgent care because I knew I had Strep Throat but they referred me to the ER instead... I was there for two hours, they figured out I had Strep Throat (of course), and wrote me a prescription for antibiotics. It cost me $4,600. And the antibiotics were $60 on top of that. That was in 2012, and the costs are even higher now.
If you have enough money to go get eyelash extensions and a refill, you have enough money to go to the emergency room when your eyes start to weep pus and marinate in blood 🤷♀️ IMHO
Honestly, or at the very least the urgent care. But don't go back to the eyelash tech that started this whole mess!
They have the money I feel like she was probably being bratty and just didn't want to go and dumb mom was like ok honey
er bills are 25 times the cost of extensions, what??
0:23 omg! You got an ive shirt on! I love ive too! Who's your favorite if I may ask?
Love them! Umm I don’t really have a fave tbh! But I was a big iz*one fan so I maybe am a little bias towards a couple of the members 😅
@@JamesWelsh i feel that for sure James lol! My favorites are yujin and REI! But I love every one of the members alot!
Hey Miranda 🤭
@@ningfiles. lol hi!!! 💖💖💖 Did you come here from my community post?
@@peachxtaehyung yeah lol I wanted to find ur comment
Not me using SHEIN lashes last night 👀👀👀
Did u wash them 😂
Oh shit 😂😂
Are your eyes ok? Genuinely asking.
Literally have bought multipacks from their in the past and haven’t had any issues
So glad none of them were permanently blinded ! So scary! Love your videos ❤❤
Need more of these, I’ve rewatched the playlist too many times 🤦🏻♀️
Your eyesight is so precious! I wouldn't care if I had to go into a huuuge debt. If my eyes looked like that, I'd even run to the hospital. I only got one body and one set of eyes. It's my job to take care of them. I really can't understand why she didn't seek medical help.
Same kind of thing happened to me too with lash extensions this year. My eyes got so red and sore. I guess it was because of the glue they used. I went to see a doctor and got some eye drops which helped. Never gonna get lash extensions again...
Even something as simple as starting a new medication or supplement can make you vulnerable to an allergic reaction so always do the patch test. 🥰 Another great one, James! Thank you💙👍
Lmao I love your august 2022 recap 😂 10/10
From years of irresponsible contact lens habits in my teens, my eyes are incredibly sensitive to this day.. 20 years later. So i have to be very careful about anything getting in my eyes. Well the Laroche Posay double repair sunscreen slid right into my eyes from my gery oily skin, and it felt like acid. I couldnt open my eyes without worsening burning. Thankfully the nurse at work had sterile saline syringes and sprayed them at my eyes and then i would wipe them and repeat till i could stand to open my eyes and use the eye cups to flush my eyes! It was the worst! My eyes were so stingy and red the rest of the day. When i got home I immediatly washed my face and put in my nighttime eye gel and went to bed bc having my eyes open hurt so bad. Ive had sunscreen sting before, but nothing like that!😮
Great informative video. I really appreciate that you and your brother Robert are so serious and aware about you respective subjects and at the same time completely all over the place on your twin channel 😜 I’m obsessed!
It's sad to see people not being careful! Never ever buy anything for your skin from cheap products or companies like Shein. Even if you look up all ingredients there can still be cross contamination and you want to reduce your chance of that happening by using credible and safe brands. You can even get surprise allergic reactions sometimes.
I’m really curious if it was the lashes that she bought or if it was glue that might’ve came with it. I’ve bought strip lashes from all kinds of dodgy places, but I always use the glue that I have from my local drugstore and not the stuff that comes in the package. If it’s the lashes themselves that’s kind of crazy. I don’t know what would be in them that you would be allergic to
My daughter is allergic to developers for dye. I had an allergic reaction to ink from a tattoo and it was a nightmare bc the tattoo was on my head. It was covered in hives and blisters that produced oozing liquid and it itched like you wouldn't believe. It was horrendous and there was nothing I could do but wait it out bc it's permanent.
I think having an allergy patch test is only a UK thing because in the US the process of doing that alone would leave you with no clients because getting a referral to an allergist is a hassle on its own not to mention getting insurance to pay for it just for a salon visit.
Healthcare isn't as accessible here so the idea of requiring something that's only accessible to people with money and multiple times? Like I said, you wouldn't have clients because most people would not go because that's too difficult a requirement for one appointment.
Hey! Oh no it’s not a proper like derm led allergy test! In the case of the salon I worked in, you walk in, request a patch test, we put some of the colour and mix behind the ear and it has to be left there for 24 hours. And then the client just calls if they’ve had a reaction and we’ll cancel their scheduled appointment
@JamesWelsh that makes much more sense because that would be like a three month process and would only be accessible to those who have health insurance
That shein story got me spooked because I bought 2 different sets from them for the first time and was using them perfectly fine with glue I got from the beauty supply and everythingvs been fine so far. As fabulous as they look, I probably won't get their lashes again.
Hello. Good Afternoon James 💜 Happy Sunday 💞
I love this series!! ❤
Nothing like this but ended up with an allergic reaction type pink eye from my a fresh new contact lense. It set it within six hours of putting them it. I had to go to urgent care right after work. I actaully took the contact out and worked for several hours and drove to urgent care with only one eye being able to see as that eye still had it's contact in. The other eye (the infected one) i took it out and was walking around with only one eye open. It was so annoying. I haven't worn contacts since. I have given them up. Since then I find that in that eye contacts are hella painful now.
Sir I'm at work but best know I'm coming back to watch this ❤
I was not prepared for that first picture!!!
AHHH THE IVE SHIRT JAMES IS WEARING.I LIVE FOR IT. I DIDNT KNOW U WERE INTO KPOP?
It’s completely unacceptable that she did not go to the hospital! Even if she, as so many have brought up in the comments, is an American and is adverse to going to the hospital. I wouldn’t be worried about a bill if you’re at risk for going blind. Like honey go to the hospital and let them send you the bill afterwards. She’s extremely fortunate that all it took was her removing the lashes and that there wasn’t any permanent damage.
Omg I saw the girl with the glue on lashes and I’ve had problems with them too if I don’t wash them
first! Sometimes even if I buy lashes from CVS or Walgreens and don’t wash them first I have the same problems though… I’ve had lash extensions in the past and I HATED them even with the most expensive glue my eyes turned red, and all my lashes fell off. I just accepted that I’ll have to have glue on lashes instead of extensions. I ordered some off shein and literally RIGHT now after sleeping in them I have some irritation on my left eye lid. But it’s gone away in a few hours after washing very well and some alcohol free witch hazel. So if you have problems with the shein glue on lashes wash them first and don’t sleep in them unwashed like I did lol
It’s not just the glue you can be allergic to - the cleaning stuff they use is also something that can be a problem 🤷♀️ I was fine after having mine done - patch test no issues - then 7 hours later my eyes were swollen and itchy and I started getting anaphylaxis symptoms. Went straight back to the salon to get them removed as until they are removed all the symptoms will continue and a&e can’t remove them 🤷♀️
Thank you so much for posting this James this was so informative. I adore you and you're so entertaining!
The worst thing that happened to me wasn't on my face, but my nails. I had a manicure, and they nicked my cuticle. A day or two later, I noticed some swelling and redness around the cut, but I didn't think much of it at first. I cleaned it with some soap, water and peroxide. The next day, or two, though, it got worse. It started turning green and purple, and there was a white spot in the middle. When I touched it, it was painful, and I think it might have been warm to the touch, too, but that might have just been my imagination. That was when I knew I had to see a doctor.
My sister made me an appointment for the next day after school, and I spent the night and the next day trying (failing) not to think about what it could be. I recognized the symptoms from somewhere, and while I could have just googled it, I didn't want to confirm before the doctor told me what it was. By the time I got to the doctor, I had managed to calm down. The calm lasted right up until the doctor asked me what I was there about. I opened my mouth to tell him what was wrong, but instead of saying words, I just started sobbing. Fortunately, the doctor wasn't fazed at all (and I'm pretty sure he thought I was about to ask for a pregnancy test). He calmed me down enough that I could show him my hand and say "I think it's gangrene. Please don't cut my hand off".
To the doctor's credit, he did NOT burst out laughing at me, but I could see how hard he was trying. Then he calmly examined my hand and told me that what I had was, in fact, NOT gangrene, but a paronychia. For those that don't know, a paronychia is a pretty common infection that you can get from picking at hangnails, or in my case, having a subpar manicure done. The doctor didn't even take a whole ten minutes to diagnose me. The treatment was just to soak my hand in warm water and gently squeeze the pus out (that was the white spot I saw, FYI). Repeat as necessary until the infection was fully drained. No medicine. No needles. No reason at all for my little panic attack. In my defense, I was 17 and a more than a little given to dramatics. I had another paronychia a few years after that, but I knew what it was that time. I hope this story helps someone. Make sure if you're going to get a manicure to go to someone who knows what they're doing, and DON'T PICK YOUR HANGNAILS!
I got eyelash extensions for about 6 years.. religiously.. I couldn’t stand how I looked without them. Never had any issues. I was always very careful. That was until about 2 years ago, I had a new lash tech at my regular salon (this place was very reputable in my town and it was not cheap). She glued lashes directly onto my lash line, including one that went directly into the follicle and I ended up with a severe eye infection by the next day. It was really bad. I couldn’t see. I told the salon and they did not take it seriously. They blamed me and said I had an allergic reaction and signed a waiver so there’s nothing they can do, which is untrue as it was confirmed by multiple drs to be an infection due to a lash being stuck in my skin. I never signed anything. I almost ended up needing to go to a specialist, I was close to losing my eyesight, but fortunately the antibiotics worked in time and the swelling went down. It was terrifying because I am already partially blind in my other eye, the infection was on my good eye. I lost all of my lashes. I have never had lash extensions again. I’ve had some recurring infections since. I’m very careful with eye makeup. Fortunately over time I got back into makeup again. I spent more time doing my eye makeup and I become content with how I look with mascara, eyeshadow, liner, etc. Taking all my supplements as directed by my dr helped my lashes grow and thicken up again. I’ll never get them done again after this. It also turned me off getting my nails done despite never having an issue. I come from a family with a background in hair & beauty, my mum owns a salon & before I decided to study psychology, I was an apprentice and studying hair & beauty. So I cut & colour my own hair, do my own nails & I only trust myself. It very much scared me away from almost all procedures. I even stopped getting microneedling and facials done out of fear and just focused on learning about skincare & getting a great daily skincare routine.
They were reported but nothing ever happened. They remove bad reviews but I have warned others. I had only ever had good experiences for years prior to this. It scares me because I was always very careful to only go to reputable salons but all it took was one inexperienced tech to destroy all of that. I can imagine many others have had the same thing happen.
It's so incredibly scary what she had to go through and I'm utterly shocked she was advised to go to the dr sooner. Just a note on patch testing in the eyelash extension industry, it isn't really a requirement. As you said, you can have a reaction to anything applied to you, your skin hair ect. at any time. Within patching testing for eyelash extensions around 10 lashes are applied per eye - compared to the full 200-300 in the full set appointment. Thats a massive difference in glue used & fumes emitted. As long as your tech has spoken to you through the whole process, the risks involved and yes you can do a patch test of course (better to be safe than sorry!) But there are many cases where people have had a patch test and been completely reaction free, then gone for their full set and had a reaction. In my opinion it's far more important to go to a tech that will be honest with you, make you feel safe & is educated properly. Rather than someone who just offers a patch test and doesnt fully even understand the whole process of lash extensions.
I had those same lashes and got an awful eye infection and had to throw out all my eye makeup!
You can develop an allergy at any age as well. I'm 44 now, had total thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine treatment at 43 for papillary thyroid cancer. A few months after my surgery, I started having such severe allergic reactions to eye serum and eye makeup products (ones I'd used for years) that I had to go to the hospital--swelling, pus, one eye swelled shut. Apparently I now have a compromised immune system plus thyroid eye disease due to my thyroid issues; my eyes are SO sensitive to everything now! It could be worse, but it still sucks.
I shouldn’t of watched this after dinner, my stomach is too weak for this! This scared me out of trying those under the lash line lashes.
Back in the early 90's I was that kid. I had back then & still do now dark hair on my upper lip that only got worse once I started my periods. I had lasses bitching & laughing with lads shouting really unkind names, also laughing... I was so ashamed, embarred & miserable. I begged mum to let me wax, she refused. Hard. Made me feel even worse for being so "weak" letting the bullies get to me. She did offer to buy me a product to bleach the hair on my lip. It just made everything so much worse being a brunette with now almost white hair lining my top lip. Even with my permanent tears, truanting & not leaving the house - she would not relent. I had to resort to plucking each hair out separately. That Mum did the exact right thing for her girl, well done lady! I'll fight anyone who disagrees 😅 I've live it & it's hell. I'm close to 50 now & don't give a crap, so it did not set any kind of president about beauty standards at all. I'll wax every now & again if I have an event or special occasion... I love my lady 'stashe & laugh about it with my hubby, he calls me Brian Blessed & I tell him that he's just jelly because his beautiful wife can grow a better moustashe than he can!! 🤣😂🤣
Not being funny but if you think Shein are going to be producing something designed to go practically on your eyeball in a sterile or even clean environment you might wanna think again 😭
