What is the difference between Classic vs Volume Eyelash Extensions?
The difference lies in the application technique, appearance, and overall effect:
Classic Eyelash Extensions:
Technique: One extension is applied to one natural lash (1:1 ratio)
Effect: Provide a natural, mascara-like look by enhancing the length and curl of your natural lashes.
Ideal For: People with good number of natural lashes who want a subtle enhancement.
Thickness: Classic extensions are usually thicker because they rely on one lash for volume.
Volume Eyelash Extensions:
Technique: Multiple lightweight extensions (usually 2–6) are fanned out and applied to a single natural lash (e.g., 2D, 3D, 4D, etc.).
Effect: Creates a fuller, fluffier, and more dramatic look.
Ideal For: People with sparse or thin lashes or those looking for a glamorous, voluminous appearance.
Thickness: Volume lashes are thinner than classic ones, making it possible to apply multiple extensions without weighing down the natural lashes.
Combination: Hybrid Eyelash Extensions
Some salons offer hybrid extensions, a mix of classic and volume techniques, to give both length and volume while maintaining a natural yet slightly dramatic look.
