I’m a lash tech & was horrified when a client came to me with falsies she got off Facebook – they were superglued on
A LASH technician has told how she was left horrified after discovering a client’s falsies had been applied using superglue.
The lash pro explained how the woman had text her asking for help to remove her last set that she got done from someone who was advertising her business on Facebook Marketplace.
“She said they were fluffy before she got them wet but after she got them wet they became stiff,” the beauty whizz explains.
“They were attached to her whole lash line and had no isolation whatsoever.”
The lash expert, who says the lashes were the longest she’d ever seen at a whopping 25mm, goes on to detail how she applied remover in a bid to get rid of them once and for all.
But nothing could’ve prepared her for what happened next…
“I applied the remover and immediately started smelling superglue,” she explains, in a TikTok video that was re-shared by @ultimatebykomi.
“The fumes were intense.”

After 45 minutes, the lash whizz finally managed to remove the false lashes.
“I’ve never seen anything like this before,” she admits.

It wasn’t long before the clip went viral, racking up over 119k views and endless comments from shocked social media users.
“OMG superglue!” wrote one.
A second penned: “OMG!”
A third noted: “That’s so nasty!”
Meanwhile, a fourth added: “This poor woman.”
Another asked: “Did it pull out all of her natural lashes?”
The social media user replied: “Mostly all were saved! if they’d been removed a couple days after her natural lashes would’ve been a lot more damaged.”
A further chimed in: “Wow for you to know it was super glue immediately – that had to be pretty frightening!”
