A Full Guide for Choosing Your Eyelash Extension Style


Lash extensions are an increasingly loved way to enhance your natural beauty, providing longer, fuller lashes that can look and feel natural. Their versatility, low maintenance, and confidence-boosting effects make them a go-to beauty treatment for so many.


We offer three distinct styles to effortlessly achieve your desired look without the hassle of a full makeup routine. Each
lash extension is meticulously applied to a single natural lash using a specialized adhesive, resulting in a seamless and natural-looking finish. Find your perfect fit with this guide.


Classic Lash Extensions

Classic lash extensions offer a natural and effortless look by applying one lash extension to each natural lash. They are loved for their ability to provide a subtle yet elegant enhancement to the eyes by offering length while still looking natural.


Classic Lash Extension Pros:

  • Minimal Maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep, making it ideal for those with busy schedules.
  • Few Gaps in the Lash Line: Provides a seamless and cohesive appearance.
  • Natural Appearance: Blends seamlessly with your natural lashes for a subtle yet noticeable effect.


Classic Lash Extension Cons:

  • Limited volume: compared to other styles, this is the least volumizing option.


Ideal Candidate:

  • Those looking for a more subtle enhancement to their natural lashes.
  • Lives or desires a low-maintenance lifestyle.
  • Has thicker natural lashes and a full lash line


Hybrid Lash Extensions

With moderate volume that falls between classic and volume extensions, hybrids offer a versatile option for those seeking a bit more oomph without the full intensity of volume lashes. 


Combining both single lash extensions and volume fans, hybrid extensions create a balanced look that enhances the natural beauty of your lashes. The single extensions provide length and definition, while the volume fans add a touch of fullness and dimension, resulting in a more pronounced, yet still natural appearance.


Hybrid lash extensions can be customized to achieve various looks, from a soft and fluttery effect to a more dense and dramatic finish. 


Hybrid Lash Extension Pros:

  • Balanced look: provides the perfect amount of volume without being overly dramatic.
  • Ideal for everyday wear and special occasions: offering versatility for various occasions.
  • Customizable options: choose from natural, cat-eye, doe-eye, and more. 


Hybrid Lash Extension Cons:

  • Requires more maintenance than Classic: due to the combination of different extension types.


Ideal Candidate:

  • Looking for a step up from the natural look of classic extensions.
  • Lives or desires a moderately low-maintenance lifestyle.
  • Has natural lashes with medium density.


Volume Lash Extensions

Volume lash extensions are loved for their ability to create a bold and glamorous look that commands attention. By applying 2-5 lash extensions to each natural lash, volume extensions deliver maximum density, resulting in a bold and dramatic look.


One of the main benefits of volume lash extensions is their ability to provide unmatched fullness and intensity. The multiple extensions applied to each natural lash create a lush and voluminous effect that beautifully frames the eyes, making them the perfect choice for those craving maximum volume and drama.


Volume Lash Extension Pros:

  • Maximum volume and drama: provides maximum volume and density for a dramatic and glamorous look.
  • Camouflages sparse natural lashes: due to the fanned look on each natural lash.


Volume Lash Extension Cons:

  • Requires regular maintenance: frequent touch-ups at 2-3 week intervals are needed to maintain the fullness and appearance of the lashes.
  • May feel heavier on the natural lashes: The additional weight of multiple lash extensions may feel slightly heavier on the natural lashes. Keep in mind, to maintain your eyelash health, an experienced eyelash technician should never apply heavier weight than what your natural lash can hold. 


Ideal Candidate:

  • Those who crave maximum volume and drama.
  • Can commit to regular maintenance.
  • Has natural lashes with sparse or medium density.


Things to Consider When Choose Your Perfect Eyelash Extensions

When it comes to enhancing your lashes, choosing the right eyelash extensions is the foundation of achieving your desired final look. Here are some key factors to consider:


Personal Style

Your personal style plays a main role in determining the type of eyelash extensions that suit you best.


  • Natural and minimalistic (Classic): Ideal for those who prefer a subtle enhancement, classic eyelash extensions provide a natural look that accentuates your eyes without being too dramatic.
  • Moderate volume (Hybrid): If you're looking for a balance between natural and dramatic, hybrid extensions offer moderate volume, giving your lashes a noticeable boost without appearing overly dense.
  • Bold and glamorous (Volume): Perfect for those who want a striking look, volume extensions deliver maximum volume and density.


Daily Routine

Consider your daily routine and how much time you're willing to dedicate to maintaining your eyelash extensions. While all options require care and upkeep, the results are well worth the effort for those seeking a more glamorous appearance. 


  • Minimal effort in the morning (Classic): Classic extensions are ideal for those with busy schedules or a low-maintenance beauty routine. With minimal effort required for upkeep, you can enjoy nearly effortlessly beautiful lashes every day.
  • Willingness to spend more time on maintenance (Hybrid or Volume): If you're willing to invest more time in maintaining your lashes for a longer-lasting and more dramatic look, hybrid or volume extensions may be the perfect choice for you.


Natural Lash Condition

The condition of your natural lashes also influences the type of extensions that will suit you best. While lash extensions do not damage natural lashes when applied correctly, neglecting aftercare instructions can lead to damage or premature shedding.


  • Abundance of natural lashes (Classic):  If you're blessed with a full set of thick, natural lashes, classic extensions can enhance your lash line by adding length and definition without overwhelming your existing lashes.
  • Moderate lash density (Hybrid): Those with medium lash density can choose hybrid extensions to achieve a fuller and more voluminous look. These extensions blend seamlessly with your natural lashes.
  • Sparse natural lashes (Volume): Volume extensions are the perfect set for those with sparse natural lashes. Designed to add maximum volume and density, these extensions create a lush and dramatic effect, transforming even the sparsest lashes into a stunning focal point.


Lash Extensions vs Lash Lift


When it comes to enhancing your lashes, there are
two popular options to consider: lash extensions and lash lifts. 


Lash extensions involve individually applying synthetic fibers to your natural lashes, resulting in a fuller, more dramatic look. While a
lash lift achieves a lifted and voluminous appearance by curling your natural lashes with a chemical solution.


Both methods offer distinct advantages, but the best choice for you depends on your personal preferences and lifestyle.
