Frequently Asked Questions

ORDER

Is there any discount codes I can use?

We have multiple ways for you to score a discount for a Mega Lash Academy order.

1. Use code LASHBOSS and save 5% on your first order.

2. Join our Text Club here to receive special offers, alerts about specials and reminders.

Can I cancel my order?

All orders are automatically processed on our secure merchant processor and sent for shipment as soon as they are placed. During this process we incur irreversible fees. 

Therefore, while we understand that orders might need to be changed sometimes, we are unable to do it free of charge after a certain point. We strictly adhere to the following cancellation policy:

  • If you cancel your order BEFORE it has been shipped, you will be assessed a 6% cancellation fee before credit is issued.
  • If you cancel your order AFTER it has been shipped, please follow our Return Policies & Procedures. The cancellation will have to be treated as a Return with all applicable fees.
  • Orders which are REFUSED AT DELIVERY will be assessed all of the applicable fees listed above - including restocking, cancellation and other applicable fees.

I entered the wrong address and the order has been shipped, now what will happen?

We are sorry that this happened, and we have definitely been there. We understand that mistakes happen, and we want to do whatever we can to get your lash supplies to you ASAP!

However, we are asking you, the customer, to understand that we are a small business and every time we have to re-ship we end up losing money on the sale. Not just losing profit, but losing money. We would like our customers to review and please be understanding of the following policy:

If you have made an error in entering your address, we will need to send you an invoice to cover the complete cost of re-shipping your order once it's marked as returned-to-sender. We understand that that means your lash supplies will arrive to you very late and not in time when you need them. If this is not your preference, the other option would be to refund your order, less our cost of shipping and a 15% penalty.

In the event that an order is mistakenly delivered to the wrong address, we kindly ask you to arrange for the collection of the items at your own expense.

This policy is not our preference, nor is it our first choice. However, the simplest solution to this problem is to carefully enter and review your address as you are placing your order.

How do discounts, sales and special offers work?

All offers are limited to stock on hand; no rain checks or vouchers are available unless otherwise noted. Not valid after purchase, on prior purchases, gift cards, gift certificates, taxes, shipping, or handling and processing charges. Purchaser must pay applicable sales tax. Offer may not be combined with any other sale, promotion, discount, code, promo, coupon and/or offer. Promotions have no cash value. Offer cannot be sold, transferred, or otherwise bartered. Void where prohibited, taxed or otherwise restricted. Returns or cancellations of any portion of a purchase requires equal forfeiture of offer or amount equal to offer. Mega Lash Academy has the right to end or modify any promotion at any time at its sole discretion. other restrictions may apply.

Why does my order need extra verification?

Please do not take offense or feel upset in any way. Today’s world is full of credit card fraud, to protect us, our customers and credit card owners we may ask for verification documents for various reasons. Such as…

  • Your order has a high chance of fraud or has been flagged as “high-risk”.
  • The distance between your billing address and ordering location is very far or the locations do not match.
  • The billing address you provided does not match the address registered to the debit/credit card (AVS mismatch or not defined).
  • First-time high value orders or with Next Day Delivery service

If you’ve ever been asked for your ID when making a purchase at a store using your credit card, this is no different. We simply want to be sure that all your account details are correct, that the credit card is authorized for use by you and sometimes our anti-fraud system does make mistakes. Once the requested documents have been provided to us, we will activate and approve your order ASAP.

When providing your ID, make sure that:

  • You hide all information except your name, address, and photo on the ID card. 
  • The name on the ID card matches the cardholder name used at checkout.

Note: In an effort to reduce fraudulent transactions and increase credit card security, all flagged orders are automatically canceled after 7 days if there are no steps taken to verify your identity.

When will my order ship?

In most cases, excluding pre-orders, orders ship within 1-2 business days Monday through Friday (excluding holidays). Please note that, during sales and holidays, you may experience order processing and shipping delays. Shipping and delivery dates aren’t guaranteed unless otherwise noted.

When will I receive my order?

Domestic orders normally arrive within 2-7 business days of shipping, unless otherwise noted.


International orders normally arrive within 3-21 business days of shipping depending on shipping service you choose at checkout. Please note that these orders need to pass through the customs office in your country before it will be released for final delivery, which can occasionally cause additional delays.


Once an order leaves our warehouse, carrier shipping delays may occur due to factors outside our control. We unfortunately can’t control how quickly an order arrives once it has left our warehouse. Contacting the carrier is the best way to get more insight into your package’s location and estimated delivery date.


Note: The shipping timeline estimate begins AFTER your order is fulfilled by our team. Please allow 1-2 business days for order fulfillment and then the quoted time for shipping and delivery.

What is an estimated delivery date?

The estimated delivery date is when your order should arrive. Generally, the estimated delivery date is based on a combination of the processing time for the items you ordered, the transit time and today’s date.

Processing time + Carrier transit time + 1 day = Estimated Delivery Date

For example: If the processing time for an item you purchased is 1-2 days, and the transit time for the shipping method you chose is usually 2-4 days, your estimated delivery date is 3-6 days from today.

ADHESIVE

How long does lash adhesive last?

Our unopened lash adhesive has a max life span of 8 months from the manufacture date if stored properly. This can be found printed on the side or bottom of the bottle. Once opened, we recommend changing your glue bottle every 4 weeks for the best retention, and maximum every 6 weeks (if the glue consistency do not change). We recommend writing the date of when you opened it so you always remember.

How should I store my lash adhesive?

Always keep the adhesive top clean throughout the application process using a disposable glue wipes - this will prevent any clogging. Ensure lid is clean and on tight after each use. *Do not use natural fibers, such as Q-tips, they will get stuck and will produce heat or even a fire.

Store your glue at room temperature (68-72°F) in a cool, dark place, away from humidity and direct sunlight. This helps with the consistency of the adhesive.

You could also store your glue in an airtight container. Some lash techs store their glues in a box with rice, as rice absorbs any potential moisture in the air.

Tip: Always have a fresh back up bottle ready to go in case of an emergency, nobody wants to get caught in the middle of an appointment with no glue on hand.

Which is the best lash glue?

The best lash glue for you will depend on a few different factors. As a beginner, you’ll be looking more at glues like Tempo which have a more gradual drying time (1-2 seconds). 

For the most accurate suggestion, you’ll need to know:

  • Your room temperature.
  • Your room humidity.
  • How long it takes you to place an extension on the natural lash after you’ve dipped it into the glue.

It’s worth investing in a hygrometer to keep an eye on your typical room conditions.

Is your adhesive latex free?

Yes, all of our adhesives are latex and formaldehyde free!

Which glue should I use when working with colored lashes?

Clear, or transparent glue is colored lashes'  best friend, especially lashes with light color, for example, light blue, yellow, pink or white. To create a bright and colorful look that truly pops - use a clear adhesive. This way the bonding won’t be visible, which is especially helpful when using bright colors. Our Clear Vibe adhesive is the perfect choice for this!

Alternatively, you can use a black adhesive to create a more defined eyeliner effect. When working with darker colored lashes, for example, dark blue or brown - try using black glue. You will be surprised how easily you can achieve an eyeliner effect this way.

P.S. Make sure your glue application is spot on, as it will be more visible with colored lashes!

Which glue is best for clients with sensitive eyes?

All our glues contain the same active ingredient, which is cyanoacrylate. The majority of allergic reactions are caused by the fumes of cyanoacrylate. If a client has experienced a reaction, the likelihood is now they will always be allergic. That is why we do not recommend performing a treatment on a client who had previously developed an allergic reaction to the adhesive or is showing any signs of the reaction.

If you perform a treatment on a client with contraindications to the treatment, you may not be covered under your beauty insurance.

Clients who experience just mild discomfort from the glue fumes may benefit from reducing the fumes with Megabonder at the end of the treatment. 

Why my lash glue became stringy (gloopy)?

There are a few reasons why your glue could become string (or gloopy), however, it usually comes down to incorrect storage and care of the bottle itself. 

Here is a little checklist to prevent it from happening:

  • Ensure your glue is not expired and that it was stored correctly in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and protected from humidity.
  • Ensure that no residue glue in the nozzle has been pushed back into the glue bottle - this may ruin the rest of the glue.
  • Check if your glue has not been opened for longer than 6 weeks.
  • Ensure you close the cap right after pouring out the drop of glue as otherwise, the glue can start changing its consistency.
  • Do NOT wipe the nozzle with a wet wipe as it may cause the glue in the bottle to become stringy.

My glue nozzle is clogged, what now?

You can purchase spare nozzles to replace the blocked nozzle.

To prevent it from happening in the future, please ensure to clean your glue nozzle after every use with a lint-free wipe, always store your glue correctly.

Why does my glue bottle has white residue?

The white residue on your glue bottle is adhesive that has shock polymerised due to exposure to moisture. This may be caused by not storing your glue correctly or by not fully closing the glue cap. 

Please ensure you always store the glue in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight and that the glue cap is always fully attached to the bottle.

My lash glue appears clear, is this normal?

Every glue should be shaken for at least 1-2 minutes prior to use for the ingredients to mix. 

Unless you are using Clear Vibe, which is a clear glue, your glue drop should always be black without any traces of transparent liquid. Ensure you shake the glue not only before the first use of the day but also each time you open it to refresh your glue drop.

BUY NOW, PAY LATER

What is ‘Buy Now, Pay Later?’

The term ‘Buy now pay later’ (a.k.a BNPL ) is referring to the customer taking home their purchase but paying for it over time.


In the past, ‘Pay later’ shopping typically referred to an interest-free period following the purchase, during which no payments were made and no interest charged. However, after this interest-free period, payment in full was expected otherwise the interest from the original time of purchase was added.


Finance technology has revived the concept of ‘Shop now, pay later’, with modern versions much clearer about the payment and interest plan over the period of the loan.

So, how does 'Buy Now, Pay Later' work?

Shop now and spread the cost across 4 interest-free installments to be charged every 2 weeks. Every purchase will be evaluated and approved by Shop Pay or Klarna.

The maximum spend allotted is based on your history with the service. The longer you have been using ‘pay in 4’ successfully, the more likely you will be able to spend more. A minimum spend of $10 is required.

Please note, Mega Lash Academy is unable to provide any details if you're not eligible to pay using pay later services. If you have any questions regarding your payment, please contact Shop Pay or Afterpay customer service.

Disclosure: *See payment terms. A higher initial payment may be required for some consumers. CA resident loans made or arranged pursuant to a California Financing Law license. 

Are there requirements to use pay later service?

Yes, you’ll need:

  • A US-issued debit or credit card.
  • To be 18+ years old.
  • A US billing address.
  • An SMS-capable phone number.

Disclosure: *See payment terms. A higher initial payment may be required for some consumers. CA resident loans made or arranged pursuant to a California Financing Law license. 

How do I sign up?

If your cart is eligible for 4 interest-free payments, the option will be presented at checkout. After confirming your phone number, you’ll be sent an SMS message to confirm your identity. You’ll then set up your payment method with one of the pay later services and accept the terms of your payment plan.

What if I can’t make a payment?

Please reach out to your pay later customer service team and they’ll be happy to look into the options available.

Are there late fees?

A late fee may be charged if an automatic payment cannot be collected. Please see your pay later services' terms for full details.

Should I lash pregnant client(s)?

This is something which is down to the individual salon/lash technician/client/insurance. When performing a treatment on a pregnant client there is a risk that in the event of an allergic reaction, the client wouldn’t be able to have any medicine to reduce the symptoms. We always recommend checking with your insurance provider if they cover you in the event of working with pregnant clients and making an individual decision based on that.

Do you offer lash training courses?
