What lash extension services do you offer?

Classic, hybrid and volume lash extensions, each available as a full set or a fill.

Which lash style is right for me?

Classic is the most natural, volume is the fullest and most dramatic, and hybrid sits in between with a textured, wispy finish. If you're not sure, we'll look at your natural lashes and the look you want and map your set together at your appointment.

How long does a lash appointment take?

Plan for about two hours for a full set. Fills are shorter.

Do lash extensions damage your natural lashes?

Properly applied lash extensions do not damage natural lashes. Each extension is isolated to a single natural lash and matched to what that lash can support, and good aftercare keeps your natural lashes healthy.

How often do I need a lash fill?

Every two to three weeks. Natural lashes shed a few at a time, and regular fills replace those extensions so your set stays full.

Lash Styles

What are classic lash extensions?: Classic lash extensions use a one-to-one method: one synthetic extension is bonded to each individual natural lash. They add length, curl and darkness while keeping a natural, mascara-like finish.
Are classic lashes good for a first lash appointment?: Yes. Classic lashes are a popular first set because the look is natural and easy to get used to. You can move to hybrid or volume at a later fill if you want more fullness.
What is the difference between classic and volume lashes?: Classic places one extension on each natural lash. Volume places a handmade fan of several ultra-fine extensions on each natural lash, which creates a fuller, softer, more dramatic look.
What are hybrid lash extensions?: Hybrid lash extensions are a mix of classic extensions (one per natural lash) and volume fans (several fine extensions per natural lash). The blend gives a textured, fuller look that sits between classic and volume.
Are hybrid lashes right for me?: Hybrids suit you if classic feels too subtle but full volume feels like too much. They also work well if your natural lashes have gaps, because the volume fans add density where it is needed.
What does a wispy lash set mean?: A wispy set uses longer spikes placed between shorter, fluffier lashes to create a feathered, textured outline. Wispy styling is often done as a hybrid.
What are volume lash extensions?: Volume lash extensions are handmade fans of two or more ultra-fine extensions applied to each natural lash. They create a fuller, darker and softer look than classic lashes.
Are volume lashes heavy or damaging?: When applied correctly, no. Volume extensions are much finer than classic extensions, so a whole fan is matched to what your natural lash can comfortably hold.
Are volume lashes good for thin natural lashes?: Often, yes. Because each fan covers more area, volume can make a sparse or fine natural lash line look full without overloading individual lashes.

Aftercare

What should I avoid with lash extensions?: Avoid oil-based cleansers and makeup removers, waterproof mascara, lash curlers, and rubbing or pulling at your lashes. Oil breaks down lash adhesive, and friction causes early shedding.
How do I clean my lash extensions?: Wet your lashes, apply a lash-safe foaming cleanser with a soft brush, rinse with clean water, pat dry, then brush through with a clean spoolie.
