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 meticulously applied to each individual natural lash using a special lash glue and precise technique, resulting in a seamless and symmetrical appearance.
In the world of aesthetics, classic lash extensions have emerged as a groundbreaking solution to create stunning and voluminous lashes. They are created from premium quality synthetic fibers carefully 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 applying classic lash extensions involves a lash technician carefully isolating each natural lash using a special tweezers. Following this, a synthetic lash is applied and adhered 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, volume, and overall look. The individual lash extensions may be placed to follow the natural growth pattern of the client’s lashes, or to create different patterns for example to open eyes, or optically lift the upper eyelid, resulting in a flawlessly customized appearance that accentuates the eyes without looking artificial.
Classic lash extensions come in diverse range, offering possibilities for different lengths, thicknesses, and curl types to suit every individual’s unique eye shape and personal style. Whether seeking a subtle and elegant enhancement or a bolder and slightly more dramatic transformation, classic lash extensions can fulfil these desires with remarkable precision.
In addition to their aesthetic appeal, 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.
It is essential to note that while classic lash extensions bring forth many benefits, they require professional application by a trained and certified lash technician. This ensures quality, safety, and the desired aesthetic outcome. By adhering to these guidelines, one can experience the fascinating world of classic lash extensions and unlock a solution to emphasize the windows to the soul.
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 voluminous 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, forming a fan-like structure. Each delicate synthetic lash is handcrafted 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 utilized during the application process. Expert lash technicians create customized fans, carefully achieving a balanced and symmetrical appearance. 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 a multi-dimensional effect. By attaching multiple lashes to a single natural lash, the resulting look is remarkably light, fuller, and fluffy. This multidimensional effect amplifies the depth and intensity of the eyes, leaving onlookers captivated by their beauty.
Russian volume lash extensions offer a wide range of possibilities in terms of length, curl, and density. From a subtly enhanced and natural appearance to a bolder and fuller look, these extensions can be personalized to suit individual preferences and style, making 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 provide the added benefit of reducing the need for additional eye makeup. With their fuller nature, these extensions effortlessly amplify the eyes, minimizing the need for mascara or eyeliner.
It is crucial to note that the application of Russian volume lash extensions requires the expertise of a trained and certified lash technician. This ensures precision, safety, and the achievement of the desired aesthetic outcome. By entrusting a skilled professional, individuals can embark on an extraordinary lash journey and bask in the beauty that Russian volume lash extensions provide.
Choosing a Classic set of eyelash extensions
When selecting the appropriate set, type, and shape of eyelash extensions to complement your eye shape and fit into 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, individuals with almond-shaped eyes often look great with 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 eye shape and 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), if you prefer longer lashes, then opt for classics.
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 usually takes up to 45 minutes, covering approximately 50% of your natural lashes.
- Classic 3/4 Set: With about 160 lashes, this set covers around 80% of your natural lashes, creating a simple and natural appearance suitable for daily wear. The application time typically takes up to 60 minutes.
- Classic Full Set: This set includes around 200 lashes and takes up to 75 minutes to apply. It covers most of your natural eyelashes, offering a cute and full 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 are fuller than a typical person may have, please ask for a boost, 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 longer, medium-length, or shorter 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.
Choosing a 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 this 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 prefer a fuller look. The application process takes approximately 2-3 hours. It is recommended not to use overly long lashes for the volume sets.
During the appointment, the length, curl, and shape of the extensions are selected based on the client’s natural lashes, facial features, and eye shape. The lashes used for Russian Volume extensions are much finer than 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 provides a daring yet elegant and natural look by applying two super fine extensions to each natural lash for added fullness and fluffiness. It is particularly suitable for clients with sparser natural lashes.
- 3D Russian Volume Set offers beautiful and fluffy lashes. Three super fine extensions are applied to each natural lash, creating fullness and fluffiness without overloading the natural lashes. This technique involves safely applying multiple strands of three soft, fine extensions to one isolated natural lash, resulting in lush volume.
- 4D Russian Volume Set delivers full, fluffy, and luscious lashes for a more dramatic appearance. Four super fine extensions are applied to each natural lash, enhancing fullness and fluffiness without causing strain. Multiple strands of four soft, fine extensions are skilfully attached to one isolated natural lash, achieving luscious volume.
Please note that lash length, curl, and shape are customizable during the appointment, catering to the client’s 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 without separation. As a result, multiple natural lashes are adhered together. However, it is important to note that cluster lashes should be removed within two weeks to prevent damage to the natural lashes. When left for a longer duration, these lashes can cause harm since they lack proper separation. It is recommended to adhere to the appropriate removal schedule to maintain the health and integrity of your natural lashes.
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 yet effective way to achieve beautifully defined lashes in a shorter time frame compared to other methods.
These lashes are typically applied in a professional salon setting and provide 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, 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 to ensure the integrity of the lash extensions.
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 individual eyelash extensions.
When it comes to individual eyelash extensions, it’s essential to consider factors such as shape, curl, and length. For optimal results, we utilize lashes with curly B, C, D, and L shapes, ranging from 7 to 14mm in length (please note we don’t stock longer lashes in our salon).
