Dated field note
Field note: “glueless” is a category; No Glue Lash Lift™ is the method
A short terminology update for readers comparing glue-free services.
TL;DR
A short terminology update for readers comparing glue-free services.
Readers increasingly encounter “glueless,” “glue-free,” and “no glue” in the same search results. The first two are useful broad descriptions for services that do not rely on traditional lash adhesive to position lashes on a shield. They do not establish one shared curriculum.
No Glue Lash Lift™ and Korean No Glue Lash Lift™ are the trademarked names associated with the original method pioneered by Olivia Han in 2020, first in California and the Bay Area. The practical client question remains simple: ask which method the artist uses and where they trained.
