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.

Volume Set
Volume eyelash extensions are a type of lash enhancement that involves attaching multiple lightweight extensions to a single natural, healthy lash, creating a fuller, 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 that can be customized to 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 per fan 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.
