## Classic vs Volume vs Russian Volume
How to choose between the main lash styles by eye shape, lifestyle and the glam you actually want.
Choosing a lash style is less about trends and more about your morning routine. The right set should look like it grew on you — and survive your gym schedule, your skincare and your sleep position.

## The three styles
Classic places one ultra-fine extension on each natural lash — reads as great mascara. Volume fans multiple feather-light extensions per lash for double density. Russian Volume pushes volume to mega fans for maximum drama.

## Side by side

## Which one is yours
- Gym four times a week, no makeup: classic — or a lash lift
- Office plus weekend plans: hybrid (50/50 classic and volume)
- Events, photos, nightlife: volume
- Bridal: book a trial — we map it to your dress, veil and the photographer light

## Eye shape and lash strength
Two things set the map: the shape of your eye and how much your own lashes can carry. Round eyes take a little length in the center to open them up. Almond eyes suit an even sweep end to end. Hooded eyes read best with the length pushed to the outer third, so the curl clears the lid instead of brushing it.
Your own lashes set the ceiling. One extension sits on one natural lash, so a fine, sparse line wears Classic comfortably and strains under heavy fans. Strong, dense lashes carry Volume and Russian Volume with room to spare. We check this in person before we choose — the honest answer sometimes isn't the boldest one.

## The cost of keeping it
A set isn't a single payment. Lashes shed on their own cycle, so you come back for a refill before the line thins out. Each style keeps its own price and its own window.
Classic refills run $90, every 2–3.5 weeks. Volume is $110, on the same 2–3.5 weeks. Russian Volume is $125, every 2–4 weeks. Book inside that window and we fill the gaps that shed; go past four weeks and it counts as a new full set.

## Your first appointment
Plan for about two hours for Classic, closer to three for Volume or Russian Volume. Come with clean, makeup-free eyes — no mascara, and skip oil-based remover that morning.
We start with a short chat about the look you're after and a look at your natural lashes. Then you lie back with your eyes closed while we place the extensions one at a time. Nothing hurts; soft pads just hold your lower lashes out of the way. It's quiet work, and most people nap through it.

## When a lift wins
Extensions aren't the right call for everyone. A lash lift ($100) curls and sets your own lashes for weeks — no fans, no refills, no daily rules once you leave.
Choose the lift if your lashes are already long but sit flat, if you swim or sweat most days, or if you just want less to think about. Add a tint ($45) and they read darker without mascara.
