Elleebana Flex Shields - Combo Pack

• How are these shields like the current Elleebana Extreme Styling Shields?  

  • We have stayed with our identifiable color of orange. We have seen so many brands begin to carry an orange rod or shield in their range and many suppliers producing orange-colored silicone products because of just how identifiable the Elleebana orange is. 

   

  • These little beauties also have the similar elevated lift curvature that offers an extreme lengthening and heightened result to the lifted or laminated lashes.   

   

  • Storage and cleaning are the same and yes, these too will stain if you tint lashes while they are still wrapped on the shield.  This is the nature of silicone products – we have actually experimented with all sorts of cleaning products on the market (and some unconventional cleaning stripping products – think Coke a Cola!!) to reduce this staining and what we have uncovered is the faster they are rinsed the better.  Using the Elleebana method of a lash bath to remove the tinted lashes (and tint) from the shields (during the service) does immediately begin to rinse the shields with water but attending to the tint removal quickly will reduce the staining in the long run.  

   

  • Our tree tool sizing guide is still appropriate for sizing up these shields. 

So how are they different to our previous Elleebana Extreme Styling Shields?

The physical silicone product is softer, more moldable and more FLEXible – hence the name.  This supple silicone is ultra-soft, comfortable and form-fitting for so many clients eye shapes.  They truly assist with the shield placement during the lifting service and similar to our flex rods the new silicone nature means there is no need to use adhesive on the back of the shield to hold the apparatus in place (from all of our tests, we dare not say EVER because there may be an eye shape we haven’t lifted before, but if you watch our Instagram reel we discussed some interesting statistics on this – here is the link for you to watch and share https://www.instagram.com/reel/CmXck0ZB8IE/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=).

If a salon has the need to rub to remove make up from the gentle lid area, this sometimes can cause micro cuts or soft abrasions to the eyelid area, and so to then apply adhesive, can see some clients comment that the adhesive can be irritative on the skin.  Not needing to use adhesive any longer will reduce any discomfort from this step.  Clients who also have some aversion to the use of the adhesive on the skin will also find this to be an easier service.  This aids to speed up the application time and most certainly is a game changer for salons using Elleebana, we have definitely had the feedback that some salons even feel like they are missing a step because its faster and they also have commented on saving money as a result of less adhesive required for their services.

Also, what is different with the new Elleebana flex shields is that there is a shield for each eye.  Meaning a Left and a Right side – this is clearly identified by the markings on the outer and inner sides of the shield where it lists the following:

SS R – Small Shield Right side

SS L– Small Shield Left side

MS R – Medium Shield Right side

MS L – Medium Shield Left side

LS R – Large Shield Right side

LS L – Large Shield Left side

On the packaging we have once again integrated the use of a QR code (perhaps the best things to come out of Covid is that many more people know how to use these handy codes 😊).  The QR code will take you through to the following link: https://elleebana.com/flexshields/
