Lash Lift vs. Lash Extensions

When deciding which service is better for you there are a few facts to consider. 

First you need to decide what look you are trying to achieve. A natural lash curled makes the lash look longer which is why you usually use a lash curler before applying mascara. However, you still need the mascara to make the lash look thicker. So a lash lift (Perm) makes the lash look longer and tinting it makes it darker but if you wear makeup you would still want to use mascara for that look. 

Lash extensions come in classic (one lash/lash) or Volume (several thinner lashes/lash) sets with different curl patterns, different diameters and different lengths. Therefore we can create any look you desire. A natural look as pictured is a classic set in a cat eye pattern. Extensions are usually used to eliminate mascara altogether but you still can use it to add drama when wearing makeup.

The important differences to consider when weighing options is how much time each service takes, the upkeep of each service and finally the cost. 

A lash lift appointment takes around 30-45 min. & adding tint adds another 15 minutes. Price ranges anywhere from $75-$125. It doesn't require upkeep as it grows out and you are back to your natural growth pattern in about 5-6 weeks.

Eyelash extensions are high maintenance with appointments taking anywhere from a first appointment being 2 - 2.5 hours and costing between $100 - $300. They require a fill appointment every 2 weeks that takes an hour and ranges from $65 - $85.

Extensions are a time saver every morning as you always look put together or awake without having to apply mascara but they also take time every 2 weeks for an appointment. So consider this and the cost to decide if this is what you want.
