YY Lashes

YY lash extensions are pre-formed volume fans crafted on a slender, criss-crossed base. Applied in the exact same manner as traditional classic lashes, they deliver a textured, fuller set within standard classic application times. Designed for lash artists of all skill levels, the London Lash SpeedYY and W-lash collections allow both Classic and Hybrid technicians to create soft, voluminous looks rapidly—without the need to hand-craft Russian volume fans.

What Are YY Lashes?

The name "YY lashes" stems from their distinctive shape: multiple ultra-fine synthetic strands merge at a single narrow base before split-branching into two prominent "Y" sections. Utilizing refined W-lash manufacturing methods, this structural layout forms a durable, interlocked foundation. This gives the extension an exceptional bonding surface against the natural lash, resulting in superior retention.

Because each fan arrives ready to use directly from the strip, hand-fanning during treatments becomes obsolete. YY eyelash extensions are premium, professional-grade items created to bond seamlessly to a single, isolated natural lash using professional permanent adhesives. They provide an ideal solution for technicians seeking to offer more drama than classic sets without using standard pre-made volume fans.

Why Lash Technicians Choose YY Lashes

Lash professionals integrate YY extensions into their service menus due to key operational advantages:

• Shorter Appointment Times: Picking up each fan as a single unit allows you to complete treatments faster, increasing your daily client capacity and salon earnings.

• Volume Finish via Classic Technique: No advanced volume training is required. If you possess fundamental 1:1 classic application skills, you can apply YY lashes effortlessly.

• Multi-Dimensional Wispy Effect: The interwoven base architecture creates a sought-after, wispy texture that effortlessly conceals gaps in sparser natural lash lines.

• High Yield Per Tray: London Lash boxes are densely packed with roughly 1,300 to 1,700 fans per tray, significantly reducing your cost per client.

Every box in our range is crafted from high-grade, heat-resistant PBT synthetic fibres. This ensures the extensions maintain their curl integrity over time without adding weight to the natural lash line.

Choosing the Right Adhesive for YY Lashes

Because the slim base of a YY lash offers a precise bonding surface, using a high-grade professional adhesive is essential to maximize attachment and retention. Rather than a single universal glue, your choice should depend on your room's environmental conditions and your personal placement speed.

To preserve set longevity, experienced technicians often opt for rapid-drying glues such as Royal Bond or Power Bond in standard conditions. Alternatively, consult the London Lash Glue Chart to match your salon’s real-time temperature and humidity with the ideal formula. To finish the set, applying Superbonder at the end of the treatment cures the adhesive instantly without shock-curing—preserving elasticity and reducing potential fumes for the client.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are YY lashes?

YY lashes are pre-formed volume extensions where ultra-fine fibres merge at a narrow base and divide into a double "Y" shape. Built using W-lash construction methods, London Lash YY trays provide the density of a volume set while using a simple, single-pick-up classic technique.

How are YY lashes applied?

YY lashes are applied using classic 1:1 extension techniques. Grip the extension near the narrow base where the strands split, peel it cleanly from the strip to keep the structure intact, dip the stem into adhesive, and place it onto an isolated natural lash. Because no manual fanning is required, application is significantly faster than traditional volume lash treatments.

How do YY lashes differ from standard pre-made fans?

While both options offer added volume without hand-fanning, YY lashes feature a narrower, criss-crossed base applied with classic techniques to produce a lighter, wispy texture. Standard pre-made fans feature broader fan bases designed for uniform density. YY lashes serve as an ideal transitional option between classic and volume styling.

Are YY lashes suitable for beginner lash technicians?

Yes, London Lash YY trays are ideal for technicians at any stage of their career. Because they utilize familiar classic placement techniques, no manual volume fanning skills are required. They allow classic lash artists to offer textured, voluminous finishes while utilizing their existing isolation and placement skills.

Which curls and thicknesses are available for YY lashes?

London Lash pre-made YY extensions are crafted in 0.07 thickness. Available curls include C, C+, CC+, and D+, alongside the specialized Cutie, Babe, and Bombshell curls. Lengths start from 6mm and are available in both mixed trays (like 6–14mm) and single-length boxes to cater to inner-corner details and complete volume sets alike.

Which lash glue works best with YY lashes?

There is no single best adhesive; you should choose a glue based on your placement speed, room temperature, and relative humidity. The compact base of a YY lash bonds securely when paired with proper lash preparation and a suitable professional adhesive. Use the London Lash Glue Chart to find your ideal match, and seal the set with Superbonder to lock in retention.
