Individual eyelash extensions also known as classic lashes have been around for quite some time now. Classics were the first original method of a single false lash being glued onto a  single natural lash. The ultimate lash aim for a flawless natural look is to have every single natural lash attached to a false lash in order to achieve that ‘full’ look. The process of classic lashes takes anywhere between 1.5 – 2 hours. Classic extensions are applied by carefully choosing the placement of each varying length to achieve a look suited to each individual eye shape. Classic lashes should not look clumped together or feel stuck together, instead they should look separated and pointing in the same direction. A classic lash set should feel soft and natural and look as though you use really great mascara! Keep in mind that brushing regularly with a lash wand is the best way to maintain classic lashes as long as possible and helps to maintain their shape.

As you can imagine there is a lot more work involved with volume lashes, therefore they are  a higher price. A lot more lashes are used in each procedure to help add extra volume. This allows for clients a little more time in between refills, depending on how full the client wants their lashes to be all year round. Volume lashes do not need to be brushed with a lash wand as regularly as classic lashes as there are more lashes close together, helping them maintain their direction.

Remember, good lashes are a slow process, there is no quick way around it. The end goal is to walk out of the salon with an incredible set of natural looking lashes while still maintain good lash health.
