Ever wished your lashes looked good the moment you woke up, no mascara, no curling, no touch-ups through the day? That’s exactly why eyelash extensions have become a go-to beauty treatment for so many people. They add length, lift, and definition to your lashes effortlessly, helping you look put-together even on your busiest days.
If you’ve been curious but unsure about the process, safety, or upkeep, this guide breaks it all down simply. From understanding what eyelash extensions are to learning how to care for them properly, here’s everything you need to know before booking your appointment.
Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent fibres that are carefully attached to your natural lashes using a professional-grade adhesive. Each extension is designed to enhance length, curl, thickness, or volume, depending on the look you’re going for.
Unlike strip lashes or mascara, eyelash extensions:
When applied by trained professionals, eyelash extensions blend effortlessly with your natural lashes and feel lightweight.
Every set of lashes is designed around your eyes, natural lash strength, and the kind of finish you prefer. Whether you love a barely-there look or something more defined, eyelash extensions can be customised to match your personal style while keeping your natural lashes comfortable and healthy.
Classic eyelash extensions involve applying one extension to one natural lash, creating a clean, natural-looking enhancement.
They’re ideal if you want:
This style works especially well for the ones who are trying it for the first time or those who already have a good amount of natural lashes and simply want them to look more refined.
Volume eyelash extensions use multiple ultra-fine lashes, hand-fanned and applied to a single natural lash. This technique adds noticeable fullness without weighing your lashes down.
They’re perfect if you’re looking for:
Despite the dramatic finish, volume lashes are designed to feel soft and comfortable when applied correctly.
Hybrid eyelash extensions combine classic and volume techniques in one set, offering the best of both worlds.
This style is great if you want:
Hybrid lashes are often recommended for the ones who want more than a natural look but prefer something softer than full volume.
If you’re getting eyelash extensions for the first time, knowing what to expect can make the experience feel much more comfortable. The procedure is carefully designed to be safe, relaxing, and completely customised to your eyes.
The appointment begins with a detailed consultation. Your lash artist evaluates your natural lashes, eye shape, and lash health, and discusses the look you want to achieve, whether that’s natural, full, or more dramatic. This step ensures the extensions chosen suit your features and won’t strain your natural lashes.
Your eyes are gently cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or residue. Under-eye pads are then placed to protect the skin and keep lower lashes out of the way, allowing for precise and hygienic application.
With your eyes closed, individual eyelash extensions are applied lash by lash using a professional-grade adhesive. The process is completely painless and often described as deeply relaxing. Each extension is placed with care to ensure balance, comfort, and a natural-looking finish.
Once the application is complete, the adhesive is allowed to set properly. Your lash artist then checks for symmetry, separation, and comfort, making final adjustments so the lashes feel light, secure, and effortless.
The entire procedure typically takes 60–120 minutes, depending on the style and volume selected, making it a calm, one-time appointment with long-lasting results.
Eyelash extensions usually last 2–4 weeks, depending on:
To maintain fullness, most clients opt for refill appointments every 2–3 weeks.
Proper aftercare plays a big role in how long your lashes last and how good they look.
Following these simple habits helps keep your lashes neat, secure, and long-lasting.
