What are YY Lashes? 

YY lashes are applied like a classic but create a volume effect which is wispy and spiky. 

Each fan is made up of 4 lash strands which have a long base and fan out into two halves to create two Y shapes - hence the name YY. 

How do you apply YY Lashes?

When removing the lashes from the strip, grip the lash about half way (where the base splits into the YY shape). This should then keep the 4D fan intact and together before applying as you would a regular classic lash. 

A 4D 0.07 YY Lash is approximately the equivalent weight to a 0.15 classic lash.

0.07 thickness = 0.04mg, 4D x 0.04mg = 0.16mg

0.15 thickness = 0.17mg 

Why would you use YY Lashes? 

You can create a light volume/hybrid set with these lashes but apply them easily as you would a classic lash.

Can also speed up treatment time for a hybrid/light volume set as the fans are already made on the strip and easy to apply. 

Cost effective as there are many fans on each row (approx. 1600 fans per box) Enough for 8 full sets of eyelash extensions. 

Using YY lashes can create a wispy/spiky set effortlessly. 

YY lashes offer great retention results especially when used in conjunction with a Pinkfishes Adhesive last 4+ weeks due to their straight base.

What is the difference between YY, W, Clover and Fairy lashes?

YY lashes create a light volume/hybrid set and are a form of 4D fan. A 4D 0.07 YY Lash is approximately the equivalent weight to a 0.15 classic lash.

W lashes have a dimension of 6 lashes per fan in comparison to YY lashes with 4 lashes per fan, W lashes can create a fuller and darker set. YY fans have lashes that are more spaced out which will result in a choppier wispier looking set.

Our Fairy Lashes are made up of 5 lash strands which have a pre-bonded, long base and fan out into three sections which replicate the letter W. They have one 0.05 lash on both outer sections and three 0.05 lashes in the centre section which will create a beautiful wispy-spiked effect when applied! 

Clover lashes are made up of 4 evenly-spaced lash strands which have a long base.

Do I need a different qualification to apply these lashes?

You only need to have a qualification in Classic Eyelash Extensions to apply these lashes, as they are applied as if they were a classic lash to your client's natural lash.

Can anyone offer eyelash extensions?

Eyelash extensions should only be applied by trained
professionals. Make sure that you are certified by an accredited training academy and have the correct insurance to cover the treatment.

What are your lash extensions made out of?

All of Pinkfishes’ lashes are made from PBT silk, ensuring the extensions appear realistic, soft, and fluffier than other types of lash extensions. This material is cruelty-free and reduces the risk of irritation.
