Need help deciding which eyelash extension style to choose? Read below to learn the difference.
*Please note that not all sets are identical. The outcome varies based on the client’s eye shape as well as the amount and the condition of one’s natural lashes.
Classic Set
Classic lash extensions are an eyelash enhancement where a single extension is applied to each healthy natural lash. This method creates a more natural look compared to volume lash extensions. The classic technique is ideal for those who want to add length and a bit of thickness to their lashes without making them look overly dramatic. Overall, it’s a more subtle and elegant lash enhancement.
They’re applied in a one-to-one ratio. This means one eyelash extension is applied to one natural healthy eyelash. The fullness of the result largely depends on the number of natural lashes. It is not possible to place an extension where there isn’t a natural lash so if your lashes are sparse, you may want to consider upgrading to another set as this one will only add more length, NOT volume.

Hybrid Set
Hybrid lash extensions are a combination of both classic
and volume techniques. In a hybrid set, some natural lashes receive a single extension (classic), while others receive multiple, finer extensions (volume). This blending of styles creates a textured and dimensional look. This offers the
fullness of volume lashes with the definition of classic lashes.
Hybrid extensions are perfect for those who want a balance between a natural and dramatic look. These extensions provide a slightly fuller appearance than classic lashes
but not as dense as full-volume sets.
Additionally, if your natural lashes are sparse then you may want to go with this set to allow those gaps to be filled in.

Volume Set
Volume eyelash extensions are a type of lash enhancement that involves attaching multiple lightweight lash extensions to a single natural healthy lash, creating a fuller and more voluminous look. Unlike classic eyelash extensions, where one extension is applied to each natural healthy lash, volume lashes use ultra-fine extensions (typically in a fan shape) to add more density.
The result is a more voluminous appearance, which can be customized based on the client’s preferences—ranging from a natural fullness to a dramatic glamorous, bold look. Volume lash techniques are often referred to by numbers, such as 2D, 3D, 4D, and so on, indicating the number of extensions applied to each natural healthy lash (e.g., 3D means three extensions per lash).

Mega Volume or Specialty Sets
Mega volume eyelash extensions are an advanced lash technique that involves applying even more extensions per natural healthy lash than traditional volume lashes resulting in a much denser and more dramatic look. The extensions used in mega-volume lashes are incredibly thin and light allowing many more lashes to be applied without damaging the natural lashes.
This style is ideal for clients seeking an extremely bold, glamorous, and full look.
Specialty sets are what we consider customized sets. “Wet sets”, “Anime sets”, and so forth and they may vary in fullness.
