FAQ

  • How Long Do Lash Extensions last?

  • What are lash extensions?
  • Eyelash extensions are synthetic lashes added to your natural lash to enhance the fullness, length and curl.

  • What is the difference between classics, volume, and hybrid lashes?
  • Classics are a 1:1 ratio where every natural lash gets a synthetic one added to it.  Volumes are where multiple synthetic lashes are fanned out then applied to one individual lash to create fullness.  Hybrids are 50% classic and 50% volume mix to give you the best of both worlds!
