In today's episode, we continue our UV light series with the founders of Lash Apothecary: Olivia Knight, Curtis Knight and Ann Frehner. They have been distributing their OPAL UV light system for a while and have done a lot of research to make sure what they are selling is safe. We have talked to a bunch of lash companies selling UV lights and sadly many have not been able to provide us any info on the safety of their products...thankfully Lash Apothecary was able to.Olivia, Curtis and Ann have a passion for our industry as well as for providing safe products and our discussion with them was very enlightening and entertaining. It's been great getting to hear from a chemist, physicist, engineer, doctor, manufacture and we felt it would be perfect to have someone on who is selling the product every day to lash artists because they would get the most immediate feedback on the product from their customers.BTW...we have a discount code for you can save some money on their new OPAL Series 2 System.DISCOUNT CODE: LASHCASTYou save 15% off their UV system.LASHCON TICKETS ARE ON SALEFeeling disconnected from the lash industry?

We took a couple of weeks off from the UV talk, but we are excited to be back with Soo-Jin Yang of Illuminos Lashes, the creator of the first UV light system in our industry. Soo-Jim came up with the idea of using UV light technology 12 years ago, and she had to move mountains to make it a reality in 2019. Her story is very inspiring and just shows you how tough-minded you need to be when everyone around you is telling you "no". Aside from hearing about how she created the first UV light system, she also shares her concerns for our industry and how some systems out there are overpromising how safe their systems are. She has a discount code for you if you want to buy one of her new systems. You can save $50 by using the code LASHCAST50.

We are excited to add this episode to our UV light series. If you have been on IG the last few years, you've probably seen a video showing a robot applying eyelash extensions to a client. The response from lash artists has varied. Some are excited, but most seem very skeptical. In today's episode, Nate Harding, the CEO of LUUM, comes on our show to update us on how their lash robot is progressing. He explains how it's safer than a lash artist holding a pair of tweezers, and we discuss how this innovation might affect our industry. Aside from dispelling some misunderstandings about the LUUM robot, we wanted to have Nate on to discuss the light-curing adhesive that the lash robot uses to apply lashes. His team has done a lot of work on the safety of UV lights, and he shares what he has learned.If you want even more details about LUUM, please check out episodes 141 and 142, where we did a two-part series on LUUM's lash robot.

The CEO of PLA, Mcihelle Nguyen, joins us in the LashCast booth to talk about a partnership we have built and will continue to work on this year.

We have decided to do two classes this year. We also recorded a lot of our talks, and PLA is offering a more budget-friendly online version in case you can't make it to Reno this year.In this session, Michelle breaks down all the things we'll be covering in the masterclass.

We continue our UV light series today by bringing back our favorite chemist Michael Becker to the studio. In the last three episodes, we have had a physicist and a doctor give their insights on the safety of this UV light technology but today we pivot and bring in a chemist who understands how the UV light adhesives work. Michale has been researching this new trend and helps to dispel any fears a lot of lash artists might have using the adhesive that works with the UV light.

If you are joining us on our UV Light Series, please go back to the previous two episodes and listen to those before moving forward with this episode. You'll want to get those episodes under your belt before moving into this one. :)In today's episode, we have Dr. Warren Stout joining us in the studio. We have been referring to him almost since your first episode aired over six years ago. He was our unofficial medical director when we had a salon and has spoken at every LASHCON since 2019. He has been a wealth of information and support for the lash industry. Today Dr. Stout shares his thoughts on whether or not we should be concerned about using UV lights in the lash room. I think some people will be surprised by his thoughts on this topic. Dr. Stout did some research for us and shares his findings on how many cases of injuries have been reported with UV lights. As a bonus we also talk what you can do if you get lash adhesive in a client's eye.
