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.
