Lash Extensions vs Lash Lifting

Undoubtedly two of our favourite treatments, so how do you decide which is best? We’ve weighed up a few of the pro’s and con’s to help you make the most informed decision!

The Lash Lifting treatment is the more natural of the two. A perming lotion and silicone shields are used to lift the lashes into their new more enhanced shape and will last for up to 6- 8 weeks. (so very low maintenance)!

While a beautiful lift and tint can really enhance the natural lashes, it will never offer the same volumised effect that extensions do.

Eyelash extensions involve the bonding of synthetic lashes to your natural lashes with a medically graded adhesive. There is more maintenance and time involved, but the looks you can achieve are more dramatic.

We have summarised a few of the differences below:

LASH EXTENSIONS	LASH LIFT
Can adapt each set to suit the client’s face and eye shape.	Typically lasts the same length as the natural lash cycle (6 – 8 weeks)
Can correct and mask pronounced facial features and cover natural gaps in the lashes.	Short treatment time (Approximately 60 minutes)
Longer treatment time (Approximately 2 hours)	Less costly than lash extensions
More costly than Lash Lifting	Less maintenance than lash extensions
Require regular maintenance (fills every 2 – 3 weeks)	Can wear mascara over a lash lift
No need to apply mascara	A more natural look
More dramatic look	Not suitable whilst pregnant or breastfeeding

Choosing between lash extensions and lash lift depends on your desired look, maintenance preferences, and lifestyle. Always consult with a professional to determine the best option for your needs and ensure your lashes remain healthy and beautiful.
