If you’ve ever been curious about lash extensions but felt confused by terms like classic, volume, and hybrid—you’re not alone! Each style offers a different look and feel, depending on your lash goals. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you choose the perfect set for your vibe:


Classic Lash Extensions | Natural + Timeless

Classic lashes are the original lash extension style. They involve applying one extension to one natural lash (also known as a 1:1 ratio). This creates a clean, natural look—perfect if you want to add subtle length and definition without going over the top.

Best for:

  1. First-time lash clients
  2. Those who want a natural, mascara-like effect
  3. Clients with a good amount of natural lashes


Volume Lash Extensions | Full + Fluffy

Volume lashes take things up a notch by applying 2–6 lightweight extensions to each natural lash, forming a small fan. This creates a much fuller, more dramatic effect without adding heavy weight.

Best for:

  1. Those who love a bold, glamorous look
  2. Clients with sparse natural lashes who want more fullness
  3. Special occasions or overall glam


Hybrid Lash Extensions | The Best of Both Worlds

Hybrid lashes combine both classic and volume techniques, blending single extensions with fans for a textured, multidimensional look. It’s a great middle ground for those who want noticeable lashes without going too bold.

Best for:

  1. Clients who want a fuller look than classic but softer than volume
  2. Those with uneven natural lashes
  3. A little drama with a natural finish


Whether you're aiming for effortless elegance or a bold, statement eye, there's a lash style that fits your unique look. Still unsure? We’re happy to help you choose the perfect set based on your natural lashes, lifestyle, and desired outcome!
