What Are Flex Hybrid Shields?

The physical silicone product is our very much loved, soft and more moldable FLEX silicone – hence the name.  I personally picture the emoji 💪💪💪 – but to be honest these are worth the 💪💪.  This supple silicone is ultra-soft, comfortable and form-fitting for so many clients eye shapes. This material truly assists with the shield placement during the lifting service and similar to our flex rods and traditional shield design the silicone nature means there is no need to use adhesive on the back of these shields to hold the apparatus in place.  Clients who also have some aversion to the use of the adhesive on the skin have now commented that lash lifting is becoming so much more comfortable and with the firm snug fitting silicone designs the entire service is much more enjoyable.  This also aids to speed up the application time and most certainly is a game changer for salons using Elleebana, we have definitely had the feedback that some salons even feel like they are missing a step because its faster and they also have commented on saving money as a result of less adhesive required for their services.

The Hybrid design of these shields is asymmetrical in design, with the inner corner of the shield not reflecting the same shape or design as the outer section of the shield. A distinctive combination of a round rod at the base of the shield giving an outward curvature from the lash line but with the body of the shield extending directly upward instead of curling back into the traditional C curl that a rod gives, these hybrids offer the best of both worlds for lash shape creation.  The straight upward design gives the length to the lashes and prevents over curling (not over processing, two very different lash lift factors).  It’s thanks to this unique hybrid curvature and shape that salons will be looking to add the Elleebana Flex Hybrid Shields to their treatments in a rush.

How to choose what to use:

❤ Features to Adore!

1. Ultra-Secure: Designed with state-of-the-art locking curvature to shape to the eyelid with optimal flex and moldability to account for most eye shapes.  

2. Tree Tab Grip Efficiency: Optimized for easy placement, attachment and removal steps, our tree tab (it wouldn’t be Elleebana without our signature tree logo) gives a grip space to release the Shield with gloved hands or tweezers from the eyelid.

3. Durable & Long-Lasting: Made from the best materials to ensure longevity and reliability as long as cleaning methods are followed. 

🫧 Cleaning methods: To maintain the longevity of your Flex Hybrid Shields, follow the same cleaning process as with your Flex Rods or Flex Shields. Silicone can stain when exposed to tint, so it’s essential to rinse the shields immediately after tinting to minimize discoloration.

 1. During lash services, use the Elleebana Lash Bath method to rinse the tint and adhesive from the shields.

2. Clean them with an antibacterial solution and warm water to remove adhesives, balms, and lotions.

3. Sanitize with High-Level Disinfectant (HLD), followed by an alcohol swab or antibacterial spray.

4. Rinse again with water and use an autoclave for sterilization—just avoid soaking them for prolonged periods.
