Bringing Japanese Innovation to Melbourne
At Marico Salon, we’re committed to offering the most innovative lash enhancement technologies from around the world. When we discovered the revolutionary LED lash extension technique taking Japan by storm, we knew we had to bring this game-changing approach to Melbourne.
Our team travelled to Japan specifically to master this cutting-edge technique, ensuring we could offer our clients the very best in lash enhancement. After rigorous training and perfecting our approach, we’re proud to have completed over 4,000 LED lash sets in the past year alone—with overwhelmingly positive feedback from our delighted clients.
How LED Technology Works
Unlike traditional lash extensions that rely on air-curing adhesives, LED lash extensions utilise a special adhesive that cures instantly when exposed to UV LED light. This scientific breakthrough has transformed the lash extension experience, offering immediate results and exceptional durability.
At Marico Salon, we’ve carefully selected premium-quality LED adhesives that not only create a strong bond but can also be removed easily with standard extension removers. This is actually a significant point of difference—we’ve had clients come to us after receiving LED lashes elsewhere, only to discover their adhesive was practically permanent! Our commitment to using only removable, high-quality LED adhesive ensures your natural lashes remain healthy and undamaged.
The Benefits You’ll Love
Immediate Results, No Waiting
Say goodbye to the 24-hour waiting period! With LED technology, your lashes cure in just 2 seconds, meaning you can shower, swim, or exercise immediately after your appointment. You’ll leave our salon with perfectly set lashes that are ready for whatever your day holds.
Waterproof Wonder
Your active lifestyle shouldn’t limit your beauty choices. LED lash extensions are completely waterproof, allowing you to enjoy swimming, sauna sessions, and hot yoga without concern. Your lashes will maintain their perfect placement regardless of moisture exposure.
Comfort Like Never Before
Perhaps the most remarkable benefit our clients report is the significant improvement in comfort. The absence of fumes means no more eye irritation or stinging during or after application. Many clients who previously experienced mild discomfort with traditional extensions (without even realising it) tell us they simply can’t go back after experiencing the comfort of LED lashes.
Different Application Process
Traditional lash adhesives continue to cure for hours after application, with your skin exposed to the adhesive throughout this process. With LED technology, the curing process completes in just seconds, significantly reducing exposure time. Many clients who couldn’t previously wear lash extensions have found LED to be a suitable alternative, though everyone’s sensitivity is different. We always recommend a patch test for anyone with known sensitivities.
Enhanced Design Capabilities
The controllable nature of LED adhesive allows our artists to create more precise, beautiful designs. Your lashes maintain their perfect positioning without becoming messy or clumped, resulting in a consistently beautiful look throughout their lifespan.
Lightweight Comfort
Many clients comment that LED lashes feel noticeably lighter on their natural lashes. This weightless feeling contributes to overall comfort and helps maintain natural lash health.
Freedom in Your Skincare Routine
With LED lashes, you’re free to use any skincare products you prefer—including oil-based cleansers and moisturisers. Traditional extensions often require avoiding oil-based products, but LED technology eliminates this restriction, allowing you to maintain your preferred skincare routine.
Exceptional Longevity
Perhaps most impressively, LED lash extensions typically last 1.5-2 times longer than traditional extensions. This means fewer maintenance appointments and longer-lasting beauty—a win-win for your schedule and your wallet.
Experience the LED Difference
After thousands of successful applications, we can confidently say that LED lash extensions have revolutionised the lash enhancement experience. The combination of comfort, convenience, and longevity makes this technology truly superior.
