Jade Stone Secrets: Why This Little Gem is a Lash Tech’s Best Mate

If you've been lashing for a long, you've undoubtedly realised that the lash glue is a little component that has the power to make or ruin your entire set. It is both the diva and the show's star. Too thin? A nightmare. Too quickly dried out? Even terrible. Babes, you're making things more difficult for yourself if you're just smearing glue on any old surface. The jade stone, the little green disc you've undoubtedly seen rattling around in lash starting kits, is now available. It may seem elegant, but is there any real impact? Yes, spoiler alert: it does.

Let's examine why a jade stone is a true saviour in the lash industry and why you should use it for your lash adhesive.

Keeps Your Glue Fresher for Longer 

The jade stone is inherently cold to the touch, so it's not just for show. This implies that the glue will remain at the proper consistency for a longer period of time after you apply a drop to it. It maintains the ideal bead shape so you may dip and apply without the hassle of continuously changing out drops, as opposed to drying out in two minutes flat.

It just makes things more fun, like keeping your beverage cold on a hot day.

Saves You Product (And Money)

You're wasting money if you're binning a drop every five minutes, since glue isn't cheap, sweetie. You'll need to replace your glue less frequently throughout a set since the jade stone keeps it fresh. Less waste and more value for your money—your lash boss budget will like it. 

Cleaner, Easier Dipping

As opposed to spreading out like it would on paper or plastic, your glue drop retains its form while it is on the jade stone. Because of that flawless dome, dipping your lash extensions is smoother and less likely to result in stickies due to glue buildup. It's much simpler to dip chips in ketchup when the sauce forms a tidy dollop rather than splattering across your plate. 

Less Mess, More Professional

Customers may not pay attention to the small things, but they will notice when your setup is tidy and expert. A piece of scrunched-up foil with partially cured glue blobs doesn't look nearly as nice as a neat jade stone with a clean glue drop. Small details give you a more professional appearance, which increases client trust. 

Easy to Clean and Reuse

An additional benefit is that cleaning jade stones is a breeze. To resume, just remove the dry glue (or use a small amount of acetone if necessary). environmentally beneficial as well because you won't be throwing out a tonne of foil or tape after each customer. 

Pro Tips for Using Your Jade Stone

• Before applying the lash adhesive, cover your jade stone with a piece of micropore tape, a foil dot, or a disposable sticker. speeds up cleanup even more.
• Keep an eye on the temperature: Avoid placing it in a hot environment or direct sunlight. Keeping the glue cold is the main goal.
• Swap Frequently: To maintain optimal performance, replace your glue drop every 15 to 20 minutes, even with the jade stone.
• Several Drops: If you work quickly or are doing volume, arrange a few drops apart so you may switch between them without sluggishly. 

I promise you that the jade stone is one of the unsung heroes of lashing, even if it may appear to be a little, random piece of equipment. It streamlines your workflow, saves money, and keeps your glue fresh. In essence, it's the friend that never says much but always supports you when you need them.

Do yourself a favour and get a jade stone if you've been winging it without one. You'll thank me for it later. Your clients will be giddy with their new lashes when they depart, your glue will behave better, and your sets will appear cleaner.
