What matters most
- Classic sets use individual extensions for definition.
- Hybrid sets combine classic-style definition with fan texture.
- Russian sets use lightweight fans for greater fullness, adjusted to the natural lashes.
Classic extensions
A classic set applies an individual extension to a suitable natural lash. It can provide length and definition while keeping a separated appearance. The result still depends on how many healthy natural lashes can be safely covered.
Hybrid and Russian extensions
A hybrid set mixes individual extensions and lightweight fans, creating a blend of definition and texture. A Russian set uses fans more consistently for a fuller result. Fuller does not mean that every client should wear the longest or heaviest option.
The practitioner must choose lengths and weights that respect the natural lashes. Bring reference photographs for direction, but expect the result to be adapted rather than copied exactly.
Choose with maintenance in mind
All extension styles shed as natural lashes complete their cycle. Infills replace suitable gaps and rebalance the set; they do not make an overgrown or heavily depleted set new again.
- Say whether you already have extensions and who applied them.
- Book removal separately when changing or ending a set.
- Avoid pulling, twisting or coating extensions with unsuitable products.
Common questions
Before you book
Are Russian lashes always very dramatic?
They are designed for greater fullness, but length, curl and density can be adjusted within what is suitable for the natural lashes.
Which set takes longest?
Appointment time depends on the set, coverage and natural lashes. The current menu provides planning estimates, and the final time is confirmed with your request.
Can another salon's extensions be infilled?
They must be assessed first. Product, mapping, condition and remaining coverage may make removal or a fresh set more appropriate.
