The price range for professionally applied eyelash extensions ranges from full sets at $100-$500+ and lash fills at $50-$250+ depending on the stylist, location, and level of expertise.
FAQ 2 – What is the difference between classic and volume lashes?
Classic lashes are single strand extensions where you can receive 1 extensions per every 1 of your natural lashes. This typically provides a beautiful but realistic enhancement. Volume lashes are an advanced technique where the technician applies handmade fans with 2-10 extensions per every 1 of your natural lashes to achieve more lash density.

FAQ 4 – Can I wear mascara and eyeliner with lash extensions?
For eye health reasons, the less eye makeup the better with extensions! You can wear powder or water-based eyeliner, but it is best to avoid mascara altogether because it breaks down the adhesive and clogs the lash follicles.
FAQ 5 – How do I maintain lash extensions?
You should cleanse and rinse your lashes with an eyelash extension approved cleanser, daily if you have oily skin/ wear daily eye makeup and as little as 3 times a week if not. When they are dry you should brush the extensions to keep them separated, and avoid oils, emollients, and cosmetic products in the lash line.
FAQ 6 – Will eyelash extensions damage my natural lashes?
As long as the lash stylist is not routinely applying extensions that are too heavy for your natural lashes and you follow proper lash maintenance guidelines, your natural lashes will remain healthy.
FAQ 7 – What is a lash lift/perm?
A lash lift is a semi-permanent curl to the natural lash that will last as long as it takes for your natural lashes to grow out, typically 8 weeks.
