I have been dying my eyelashes since i knew what eyelash dye was, which was a couple years back now. i lived in canada so i guess we can do it here haha, its so safe or why would so many people do it?? i get mine done at a salon because i fear with my clumsyness id get it in my eye ( which wont blinde you it just feels like you poked urself in ur eye with mascara, so just let urself tear up n ur ok ) but anyway, i have girlfriends that use 30-day mascara and it works wonders! but this is just my 2 cents! i just haaaaaaaaaaaaad to post!

I have been using eyelash and brow dyes for 35 years! I have had 2 customers in all that time that had a reaction. They had a rey eye for 24hours with no other ongoing problem. I have even flicked a chunk of dye in my own eyes as I was attempting to dye my own with eyes open. Had no short or long term problem. I think part of the bad rap they have received is some salons are probably using too strong a peroxide to mix with the eyelash dyes. Using a 3% solution is safer and will less likely cause problems. If you are blonde or have vitiligo this is a much needed beauty fix. Nothing like looking in the mirror first thing in the morning and you have eyes and eyebrows. it really frames your face. All the products available are european. I hope this helps some of you see things from a professional perspective. I have been a beautician(in Australia) and also an aestetician in the United States.

I have been going to the same salon for the past two years because a friend of mine was offering their services for free. When she stopped working there, she bought the products i used so I could continue dying my lashes and brows at home. After using the refectocil at home though, I noticed a very blatant warning label repeated four times on the box, tube and instructions. The warnings really freaked me out =/ Until I searched online for dangers, I thought she might have accidentally bought the wrong product. Seems quite clear now though that there are no US eyelash dying products. additionally, are eyebrows a lot safer since it is much more difficult to get the dye in your actual eye? I know I won't accidentally make that mistake so should I cease my concern?
