What are classic eyelash extensions?

Classic lash extensions, also known as individual eyelashes, is a beauty treatment that enhances the natural eyelashes and eyes. Lash extensions are carefully applied to each individual natural lash using a special lash glue and precise technique, resulting in a seamless and symmetrical appearance.

Classic lash extensions are great to create stunning and natural or glamour results. They are created from premium quality synthetic fibers designed to simulate the look and feel of natural lashes. The synthetic materials used ensure durability, flexibility, and a weightless sensation upon application, allowing for a comfortable and long-lasting experience.

The process of classic lash extensions application involves a lash technician carefully isolating each natural lash using tweezers. Following this, a synthetic lash is applied and bonded to the isolated natural lash. Lash extension adhesive is both gentle and safe for the delicate eye region.

What makes classic lash extensions truly remarkable is their ability to seamlessly blend with the natural lashes, enhancing their length, thickness, and overall look. The individual lash extensions may be styled to follow the natural growth pattern of the client’s lashes, or to create different patterns for example open eye look, or to visually lift the upper eyelid, or the very popular cat eye style. This results in a flawlessly customized appearance that accentuates the eyes without looking artificial.

Classic lash extensions come in a wide range, offering different lengths, thicknesses, and curls to suit every unique eye shape and personal style. Whether you are seeking a subtle and elegant enhancement or a bolder and slightly more dramatic transformation, classic lash extensions can meet your expectations with remarkable precision.

In addition, classic lash extensions also eliminate the need for mascara and eyelash curlers, saving valuable time during morning beauty routines. With proper care and regular 3 weekly touch-ups, these extensions can maintain their beautiful look for weeks and even months.

It is essential to note that while classic lash extensions bring many benefits, they require professional application by a trained and certified lash technician. This ensures quality, safety, and the desired outcome.

What are Russian volume eyelashes?

Russian volume lash extensions also known as multi lashing or 2D, 3D, 6D lashes, revolutionize the world of beauty with their fuller look and advanced application technique. These lash extensions offer a fuller look that pushes the boundaries of lash enhancement to new heights.

The Russian volume lash technique involves the application of multiple ultra-fine synthetic lashes to a single natural lash, creating a fan-like shape. Each delicate synthetic lash is handmade and designed to be incredibly lightweight, ensuring a comfortable and seamless experience for the wearer.

The artistry behind Russian volume lash extensions lies in the precision and technique used during the application process. Expert lash technicians create customized fans by hand, carefully achieving a balanced and symmetrical look. This technique allows for greater control over the final result, empowering individuals to achieve their desired level of fullness and intensity.

What sets Russian volume lash extensions apart is their ability to create almost a multi-dimensional effect. By attaching multiple lashes to a single natural lash, the final look is remarkably light, fuller, and fluffy.

Russian volume lash extensions offer a wide range of possibilities in terms of length, curl, and density. From a subtly enhanced and natural appearance of 2D fans to a bolder and fuller look of 4D, these extensions can be personalized to suit individual preferences and style. This makes them an extraordinary choice for those seeking a truly transformative lash experience. Please mind that these lashes are usually applied shorter in length, as they accentuate volume rather than length.

Russian volume lash extensions also reduce the need for additional eye makeup. With their fuller look, these extensions amplify the eyes, reducing the need for mascara or eyeliner.

It is crucial to note that the application of Russian volume lash extensions requires a trained and certified lash technician. This ensures precision, safety, and the desired outcome.

Classic set of eyelash extensions

When selecting the appropriate set, type, and shape of eyelash extensions to complement your eye shape and your lifestyle, there are a few key considerations to keep in mind. It’s important to note that the terminology used may vary among different lash technicians or salons, but here are some general guidelines:

Eye Shape: Different eye shapes can benefit from specific eyelash extension styles. For example, if your eyes are almond-shaped you will look great in a variety of lash styles, while those with round eyes may want to opt for a cat eye and those with hooded eyelids focus on opening up their eyes shape optically lifting an upper eyelid.

Classic Eyelash Extensions: Classic eyelash extensions involve applying one extension to one natural lash. They are perfect for adding length and curl to your natural eyelashes. The application time can range from 1-2 hours depending on the set. These lashes look ‘separated’ and thicker (compared to Russian volume lashes). Classics are great if you prefer longer lashes.

Lash Sets: Different lash sets offer varying amounts of lashes attached. Here are classic sets examples:

  • Classic Half Set: This set typically includes around 120 lashes. It provides a simple and natural look, ideal for everyday wear. The application time takes around 45 minutes, this set covers approximately 50% of your natural lashes.
  • Classic 3/4 Set: With about 160 lashes, this set covers around 80% of your natural lashes. This set creates a simple and natural look suitable for daily wear. The application time typically takes around to 60 minutes.
  • Classic Full Set: This set includes 200 lashes and takes up to 75 minutes to apply. It covers most of your natural eyelashes, offering a fuller look. The choice of extension thickness and length can determine whether you achieve a natural yet full result or a more glamorous effect.

If you feel that your natural lashes may be fuller than a typical person may have, please ask for a classic boost set, and we add some extra time to your appointment to allow more lashes to be covered.

Customization: When selecting lash extensions, you can choose from long, medium-length, or shorter and more natural extensions, different lash thicknesses, and various curl options. This customization allows you to achieve a desired look while considering your natural lash condition and personal preferences.

Russian volume set of eyelash extensions

Russian Volume eyelash extensions involve applying multiple extensions to one natural lash. The volume sets vary in the number of extensions, with 2D having two, 4D having four, and 6D having six extensions per natural lash. These extensions are lightweight and delicate, ensuring no damage to your natural lashes.

The Russian Volume sets create a fluffy and denser effect than sets achieved with classic lashes. The 2-3D sets are suitable for everyday wear, while the 4-6D sets may be ideal for weddings, larger events, photo shoots, or if you just prefer a fuller and less natural look. The application process takes approximately 2-3 hours. It is recommended not to use longer lashes for the volume sets.

During the appointment, the length, curl, and shape of the extensions are selected based on the strength of your natural lashes, facial features, and eye shape. The lashes used for Russian Volume extensions are much finer compared to classic extensions. All sets can be tailored to achieve a natural or more dramatic and fuller appearance, with the only difference being the number of lashes attached.

  • 2D Russian volume set gives an elegant and natural look with two super fine extensions to each natural lash for added very light fullness and fluffiness. It is particularly suitable for clients with sparser natural lashes who like the natural look.
  • 3D Russian Volume Set offers beautiful medium fullness of lashes. Three super fine extensions are applied to each natural lash, creating fullness and fluffiness without overloading the natural lashes. This technique involves application multiple strands of three soft, fine extensions to one isolated natural lash, resulting in lush medium volume.
  • 4D Russian Volume Set delivers fuller, fluffy, and luscious lashes for a bit more dramatic look. Four super fine extensions are applied to each natural lash, enhancing fullness and fluffiness without causing heaviness. Multiple strands of four soft, fine extensions are attached to one isolated natural lash, achieving fluffy volume.

Please note that lash length, curl, and shape are customizable during the appointment, catering to your preferences and eye features.

Different types of eyelash extensions.

Eyelash extensions are available in four main types:

Strip Lashes: These lashes can be applied by yourself at home and should be removed before going to bed. They provide a temporary enhancement to your lashes.

Cluster or Flare Lashes: These lashes, often used for special occasions, can last from one day up to two weeks. However, it’s important to remove them after two weeks to prevent potential permanent damage to your natural lashes.

Cluster lashes, also known as Party Lashes, 2 Week Lashes, or Weekend Lashes, are a type of eyelash extension that is applied directly along the lash line. As a result, multiple natural lashes are adhered together. So, it is important to remember that cluster lashes should be removed within two weeks to prevent damage to the natural lashes. When left for longer, these lashes can cause harm since they are not properly separated. It is recommended to remove them on time, to keep your lashes healthy.

Express lashes: Express lashes are a popular option for those seeking an efficient and time-saving solution to enhance their lashes. They offer a quick way to achieve longer lashes in a shorter time frame compared to other methods.

These lashes are typically applied in a professional beauty salon and give a semi-permanent result. During the application process, individual lash extensions are glued to your natural lashes using a lash extensions adhesive. The technique involves attaching lash extensions to natural lashes, but without separating them properly.

Express lashes are designed to last for a specific duration, typically around 2-3 weeks. It is important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your lash technician.

Individual Eyelash Extensions: Individual lashes are applied one by one to your natural lashes. This method offers a longer-lasting effect. There are two popular variations: classic and Russian volume, both individual eyelash extensions.

When it comes to individual eyelash extensions, it’s essential to consider factors such as shape, curl, and length. For different results, we use lashes with curls like B, C, D, and L shape, with lengths ranging from 7 to 14mm (please note we don’t stock longer lashes in our salon).
