Eyelash Extension Techniques
Since each lash extension technique has its advantages, any reputable lash artist should be able to provide a range of lash extension procedures. Below is a quick explanation of each method:
Classic Lashes
- Most natural looking.
- One lash extension is applied to one natural lash.
- Ideal for people who like a modest length augmentation and have healthy lashes.
Hybrid Lashes
- A mix of classic and volume techniques.
- A fuller look than classic, but not as dramatic as volume.
- Ideal for those who want more volume than classic but aren’t ready for full-on drama.
Volume Lashes
- Dramatic and full look.
- Multiple super fine lash extensions are applied to one natural lash, creating a fan effect.
- Perfect for special occasions or those who want maximum impact with their lashes.

- 80-100% lash coverage with the divine fullness level.
