Different Lash Styles

Hi there!

Ever wondered about the different styles of eyelash extensions and which one is right for you?

Let’s dive into the world of lashes and find out!

There are so many options to choose from, and each style has its own unique charm.

Here’s a quick guide to help you discover the perfect lash look for you.

Classic Lashes

Classic lashes are the go-to for a natural look.  They involve applying a single extension to each natural lash, giving you a beautiful, subtle enhancement.  Perfect for everyday wear and if you love that “your lashes but better” look.  However they are not good with very sparse lashes.

Glam Classic Lashes (wet look)

Glam classics are kind of a new trend.  It has a wet look from making the lash fans a bit thinner so they look a bit thicker which gives off a wet look.  These are proving to be very popular.  They are a bit more full than classics, but a bit less than hybrid.

Hybrid Lashes

Can’t decide between classic and volume?  Hybrid lashes offer the best of both worlds.  They combine the natural look of classic lashes with the fullness of volume lashes.  A great choice if you want a versatile look that’s suitable for both day and night.

Volume Lashes

Want something a bit more dramatic?  Volume lashes are your best bet.  These involve applying multiple ultra-fine extensions to each natural lash, creating a fuller, more glamorous look.  Ideal for special occasions or if you just love a little extra flair in your everyday look.

Mega Volume Lashes

For those who crave maximum drama, mega volume lashes are the ultimate choice.  These involve applying even more extensions per natural lash than regular volume lashes, giving you an ultra-dense, bold look.  Perfect for making a statement!  Think Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner.

Now, let’s talk about the different lash styles that can enhance your eye shape and overall look:

All the different lash styles that you can ask for:

Kitten Eye

Kitten eye lashes offer a subtle, flirty lift.  They are shorter at the inner corner, gradually getting longer towards the outer corner, but not as extreme as the cat eye.  Perfect for adding a gentle, youthful lift to your eyes.

Cat Eye

Cat eye lashes are longer at the outer corners, creating a sultry, elongated look.  This style is great for anyone wanting to achieve a more dramatic, almond-shaped eye effect.  It’s perfect for a night out or when you want to add a touch of glamour to your look.

Doll Eye

Doll eye lashes have longer lashes in the center, making your eyes appear bigger and more open.   This style is ideal for achieving a cute, wide-eyed look and is perfect for those who want to add a bit of sparkle to their everyday appearance.

Natural Eye

Natural eye lashes follow the natural growth pattern of your lashes, with a mix of lengths throughout the lash line.  This style is perfect if you want to enhance your natural beauty without it being too obvious.

Open Eye

Open eye lashes feature longer lashes in the middle of the lash line, which helps to open up and brighten your eyes.  This style is perfect for making your eyes look more awake and vibrant.

Spikes

Spike lashes create a bold, edgy look by interspersing longer, thicker lash extensions among shorter ones.  This style gives a textured, spiky appearance that’s perfect for those who love a unique, standout look.

Personally I love the look of spike lashes, however they do need more maintenance as when the spike fall out, it will look a bit gappy.

Anime

Anime lashes are inspired by the wide-eyed, dramatic look of anime characters.  This style features long, thick lashes that give your eyes a big, bright, and expressive appearance.  Perfect for anyone looking to make their eyes pop in a playful, exaggerated way.

Give anime lashes a Google, it really is something else.

Choosing the Right Style for You

Here are a few tips to help you choose the right style:

• Consider Your Lifestyle: If you’re always on the go, classic or hybrid lashes might be best.  They are more subtle and give you that natural look while enhancing your lashes.
• Think About Your Natural Lashes: If you have fine or sparse natural lashes, volume or mega volume can give you that extra oomph.
• Match Your Mood: For a subtle, everyday look, go classic. For nights out or special events, volume or mega volume will make your eyes pop.
• Eye Shape Matters: For round eyes, try cat eye or kitten eye styles. If you have almond-shaped eyes, doll eye or open eye can enhance their natural beauty.

Caring for Your Lashes

No matter which style you choose, here are some tips for maintaining your extensions:

• Avoid rubbing your eyes and using oil-based products.
• Brush your lashes daily with a clean spoolie and lash cleanser to keep them looking neat. (we sell lash cleanser in the salon)
• Book regular infills to keep them looking fresh and fabulous.
