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.

Our lash techs have seen all lifestyles and eye shapes, so will be best suited to recommend something for you. If you don’t have something already in mind.

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.

I hope this helps you understand a bit more about the wonderful world of lash extensions! If you have any questions or need advice on which style to choose, just send an email to hello@lashesbykrissy.com.au

Thanks for tuning in, and I hope you have an amazing day!

We Sat Krissy Down For a Chat

We asked Krissy 12 questions, some personal, some professional about her time running Lashes By Krissy.

What inspired you to pursue a career in the beauty industry, specifically in lashes and brows?

A: I came to Australia almost 7years ago, and I’ve always loved how getting lashes made me feel.

I used to do my make up before work and it would take me 45 mins and I’d get cranky if I can’t put a strip lash on or can’t do both of my brows even.

Now I have brow tattoo done and with lashes I feel like I can conquer the world and am ready for my day.

Share a fun fact or a hobby outside of work that clients may not know about you.

A: I’m a busy person, but I get up 5 in the morning to go to the gym.

I do this 5-6 times a week. It’s helped me a lot with my mental health.

It’s something I do for myself as it’s tough juggling personal life and business.

What is your favorite part of helping clients enhance their lash and brow beauty?

A: My favourite part is when they open their eyes and see how much they love their lashes.

To be able to cater for their personalised needs, from natural to full glam and make them feel special for bdays, holidays or special events in their life.

Do you have a favorite lash or brow trend or style? If so, what is it, and why do you love it?

A: I am obsessed with wispy lashes.

I think it’s a perfect combination of glam and natural look, adding texture that’s just beautiful when clients open their eyes.

Its fun and I always get that high feeling when clients ask me and trust me to do this appointment.

Can you provide a tip or trick for maintaining healthy lashes and brows between salon visits?

A. I usually wash my lashes in the shower. I get scared washing it in the vanity because i got one of my eyes closed haha.

It’s easier to wash in the shower so I can rinse straightaway.

Wash the lashes after you’ve done your shampoo and conditioner to remove any excess products.

With brows always keep the brows hydrated. A brow serum is perfect addition to your skin care.

Share a memorable client success story or transformation that you’ve been a part of.

A: I would just say not only that clients feel extra beautiful after the appointment but it’s also the fact that I made most of my friends with the line of my work.

It’s amazing to be able to share our stories and see growth with my clients all throughout this year.

From them getting married, having babies, getting a new job, quitting a stressful job and many more. It’s amazing to be part and be able to listen to them.

What sets Lashes By Krissy apart from other salons, in your opinion?

A. My team and I work really hard to provide the best service to all the clients that come in to the salon.

From our smiling face when you enter the salon, our respect for our client. Our snack bar, drink on arrival.

How do you stay updated on the latest beauty trends and techniques in the industry?

A: I follow a lot of companies on socials that always post updated trends and techniques from all over the world.

When I say a lot, I mean 100’s haha.

What do you enjoy most about working with our team at the salon?

A. The team are so much fun!

Seriously couldn’t ask for a better group of girls. We hang out on the weekend going to the beach or bowling.

But in the salon as well, we always help each other out and look after each other. It’s a great bond.

Is there a particular product or treatment you recommend for clients looking to achieve their lash and brow goals?

A. First would be lash shampoo always! Clean lashes last longer and keep your lashes healthier.

2nd, If you want something permanent and tired of filling in your brows, brow tattoo has been my life saver for the past 7 years

Share one piece of advice for clients seeking the best lash and brow care.

A: For lash extensions it’s best to schedule your infill on time to keep lashes full, as we book up fast.

And always, wash your lashes.

What do you hope clients will experience when they visit your salon?

I hope that current and future clients will have an amazing experience with us.

I hope our beautiful clients know that we are here and they can always reach out to us.

The friendships that get built with amazing people.

More to come

We will be doing this for all of our staff, so keep tuned.

What is Microblading?

Eyebrow microblading is the art of creating fuller thicker eyebrows through the use if a manual tattooing technique. The process involves the application of detailed, fine lines on the eyebrow area that effectively mimic the natural color and fine hairs that form the eyebrow. First, a fine scalpel or blade is used to make fine, microstroking incisions on the skin in a shape and form that has been predetermined by the microblading specialist and the client. Next, ink or dye is placed on the area that effectively soaks into the tiny incisions, creating a tattoo.

Benefits from Permanent Cosmetics

The brow microstroking tattoos are semi-permanent which means that while they won’t wash away easily, they will only last around 6 months before a reapplication becomes necessary. It is recommended not to get the eyebrow area wet for a couple of days after the procedure to ensure that the ink has a chance to settle and that it remains for longer.

Poor vision or just cant see well to apply your makeup anymore
Allergies to topical makeup or skin sensitivities
An unsteady hand or poor motor skills due to Parkinsons disease, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, or stroke survivors.
People with busy lifestyles and hectic work schedules who want to look their best all day long with out having to stop, check and re-apply their makeup due to smudging or smearing. Those of you whom after a busy day want to look great for your evening without having to do a thing
People who enjoy activities like working out at the gym, yoga, swimming, boating, hiking, biking, tennis, camping, etc., that are concerned with their eyebrows or makeup coming off. Some people even avoid activities such as these because of that concern. Through permanent makeup, I can give you the personal freedom you need to go do the activities you enjoy.

The procedure should always be performed by a professional in hygienic environment using sterile instruments. Infection can result from not using clean and hygienic equipment. Bleeding can occur and it is best to take steps to minimize this by refraining from consuming alcohol or using and blood thinning medication at least 72 hours before the procedure.

Beauty is when you can appreciate yourself. When you love yourself, that’s when you’re most beautiful

If the tattoo’s so great, why not get it done permanently? Well permanent eyebrow tattoo may become discolored overtime giving your eyebrows a color that may fall into a blueish to greenish shade. Also, with semi-permanent, you’re not out of luck if your brow shape is totally “out” because reshaping is always possible.
