Macey is an experienced Lash Technician specialising in Classic, Hybrid and Russian Volume Lash Extensions.
One of the advantages of lash extensions is that they subtly but distinctively enhance my clients' natural beauty. Lots of people want to feel more beautiful without drastically altering their appearance. As a lash artist, I spend time consulting with each client about the type of look they want to achieve, whether it's full-on glam with Hybrid or Russian Volume lashes, a more natural look with a full set of Classics or look like they're wearing permanent mascara. Extensions are the perfect way to boost confidence in a low-key, understated manner.
My clients love their thicker, fuller lashes and keep their lashes looking full with regular infills.
Classic lashes are the perfect way to enhance your natural lashes. With the classic technique, one individual lash is applied to one natural lash to create a set of longer and thicker lashes. Classic extensions offer an even lash line that opens up the eye. Depending on the look you desire there are a variety of curls, lengths, and thicknesses to choose from.
Hybrid lashes extensions are a 70 to 30 mix of both classic and volume lashes. Choosing hybrid extensions gives you the best of both worlds. Hybrid extensions offer a variety of texture and more volume, but without the sometimes-unnatural look of volume lashes. If you’re looking for a lash line with a bit more volume but not quite as full as volume extensions, then this is the lash for you.
Russian volume lashes are ultra-fine synthetic lashes applied in a fan-like shape, which adds to the 'volume' look. Russian volume eyelash extensions help fill in the gaps between sparse natural lashes that classic extensions can’t always do. The volume lashes create a fluffy, softer look to the lashes. They have been reported to cause less damage to the natural eyelash, because of the lighter weight.
Classic lashes will look longer, you will have a defined lash line and you will wake up looking 'made up'.
Hybrid lashes give you a varied texture with more volume but without the (sometimes) unnatural look of volume lashes. The lash line is broken and quite spikey looking.
Volume lashes can give a very dramatic and full look, you may look like your wearing false lashes all the time. There is no bulky strip or lash separation, lashes are FULL.
So which is the best for you..?
If you're someone who wears strip lashes whenever you go out, you'll love the look the volume lashes achieve - you'll have the look without having to apply or remove them. If not, it's hybrid or classic for a natural look. It really depends on the look you want to achieve.
