The right lash adhesive is not just about retention. Your ideal lash adhesive matches how fast you work and the conditions in your lash room. An adhesive that cures too quickly can make placement difficult, while one that cures too slowly can interrupt your rhythm.
Aki Lashes offers four professional adhesives designed for different working speeds and environments. Here’s how to find your match.
Elite Adhesive: Controlled and Versatile
Dry time: 1–2 seconds
Elite is a great starting point for artists who prefer a little more control during placement. Its 1–2 second dry time gives you time to dip, place and adjust without feeling rushed. It is also ideal for artists who prefer an adhesive with a thinner consistency.
Infinite Adhesive: Fast, Controlled Placement
Dry time: 1–2 seconds
Infinite offers a controlled working speed while giving experienced artists the consistency they need throughout a busy day. If your timing is steady and you want an adhesive that works comfortably with a confident placement rhythm, Infinite may be your match.
Rapid Extreme: Made for Artists Who Move Fast
Dry time: 0.5–1 second
Rapid Extreme is built for advanced lash artists with quick placement. With the fastest dry time in the Aki lineup, there is less room to hesitate after dipping. If your isolation is ready and your placement is immediate, Rapid Extreme can keep up with you.
Volume Extreme: Speed + Retention
Dry time: 1–2 seconds
Volume Extreme is designed for artists who want speed and retention while creating volume sets. Its 1–2 second dry time provides a balance between efficient placement and control.
Your Speed Is Only Half the Match
Before choosing your adhesive, check your lash room’s temperature and humidity with a hygrometer. Your environment affects how your adhesive performs, so the best glue is the one that matches both your technique and your room.
