Classic vs Volume
Trying to decide Classic vs Volume Eyelash Extensions?
Your eyelashes are such a small part of your face. Often times our lashes go unnoticed in their natural state. That’s where I come in. With my line of beautiful lash extensions and my experience as a 4x Certified Lash Artist, I can make your eyes as beautiful as you know they were meant to be.
Eyelash Extensions are not a one size or one look fits all. I offer you options when it comes to styling or designing the perfect look for you. Here are the 2 types of lash extensions that I offer.
Classic Set
A technique where I apply 1 eyelash extension to 1 natural lash. My Classic Set is great if you are looking to add length and enhance your already beautiful eyes.
They can be designed to be either natural or dramatic, totally a personal preference.
Volume Set
I apply 5 to 8 extensions to 1 natural lash. A lighter extension is used to ensure that I maintain lash health and proper application of the extensions.
If you are looking to achieve a thick, full look, then my volume set is perfect for you.
What Are Lash Extensions?
Eyelash Extensions are tiny synthetic lashes that are attached to your natural lash.
Both Classic and Volume Eyelash Extensions will make your lashes appear longer and fuller.
The extensions are placed one millimeter away from your eyelid or lash line, with one or more extension being fixed to an individual natural eyelash.
Depending on what type of look you are wanting, you can choose Volume Eyelash Extensions for thickness and drama, or Classic Extensions for a subtler, more natural look.

Volume Extensions for A Lush, Full Look
Volume Eyelash Extensions do exactly that; they increase the volume of your lashes, making them appear thicker than your natural lashes would.
This style of Extensions take longer to apply than Classic Extensions, and they cost more. This is because I use up to 5 to 8 times the lashes and they are more time consuming to design and apply.
Classic Extensions Enhance Your Natural Beauty
There’s nothing wrong with wanting a subtle look.
Classic lashes are when I apply only one synthetic artificial lash to 1 natural lash. They are faster to apply than Volume Extensions and they cost less.

Let’s talk about Volume.
This is the most versatile lash treatment that I offer, and suit most clients. Volume Eyelash Extensions is actually a technique, that is very advanced. Only experienced and certified technicians offer this service.
When clients are considering Volume Lashes they are always concerned that they won’t look natural. Compared to a classic set, volume lashes look absolutely real. I place the lighter, thinner extensions intricately and they look perfect even up close. Check out some of my before and after pictures. It is hard to believe she wasn’t born with these lashes!
Volume Eyelash Extensions are Perfect for:
- The older client who has sparse natural lashes.
- The client who wants extra coverage and a soft fluffy look.
- The client who wants a more glamorous and thicker look, that can’t be achieved with classic lashes.
- The level of fullness can vary with Russian Volume. I can appy 2 to 4 lash extensions which allows me to create the effect you are wanting.
What are Volume Eyelash Extensions?
This is when multiple ultra fine and very light weight extensions, are placed onto the natural lash. These multiple lashes are fanned, creating extra fluff, coverage and fullness. This level of fullness cannot be achieved with Classic Extensions.
Although I use multiple light weight extensions, the fan is placed onto 1 individually isolated natural lash.
A good Volume Eyelash Extensions artist is not created overnight. We invest hours of practice over months and years to become skilled in this advanced technique.
This technique is very time consuming and intricate. If you are just beginning to checkout Volume Lashes, be sure to do your research when looking for your professional.

Let’s talk about Classic Eyelash Extensions
Classic lashes are when 1 eyelash extension is applied to 1 natural lash.
These are beautiful but consider this… if you only have 50 suitable natural lashes per eye, then you will only achieve a look of 50 eyelash extensions. If you have 100 natural lashes per eye then you will achieve a look of 100 extensions per eye.
Classic lashes are suitable for you if you :
- have a naturally thick lash line or a good amount of healthy natural lashes.
- are younger and have few gaps in your natural lash line.
- are looking for a natural/medium effect.
