Classic-Apply on a 1:1 ratio, one extension on one natural lash. Achieving an understated, natural enhancement.

Hybrid-70% volume lash 30% classic lash mixture. Adds a little drama to the natural look of the Classic. Strategically placed to frame and draw attention to the eyes.

Russian-Looking for something serious glamour? The Russian adds 3 to 5x more lashes by applying a “fan” of lash extensions to one lash. This is how the luxurious volume is created!

Mega volume-This is for women who want to wear the lightest, thinnest lashes on the market. The end result is very customizable from light and feathery to full and dramatic. If you're a woman with fewer than average natural lashes or shorter, more delicate lashes, these are the most likely to give you a full look. Retention is the best with these lashes because they are 0.03mm in diameter so they wrap and bond well to the natural lash. Up to 15 lashes are applied to one natural lash.

Wispy/strip lash look:
The “striplash” look is meant to recreate the appearance of the temporary one day use strip lashes. This look is customizable. You can bring in your favourite temporary stick on lashes and we can recreate this look for a semi-permanent set of eyelash extensions.
(Hybrid/Russian/Mega are able to recreate this look)


So, what is the difference between Classic, Hybrid, Russian and Mega eyelash extensions?


Classic lashes are applied individually on a 1:1 ratio, hybrid typically uses 30% classic lashes and 70% volume lashes (variable ratio), and Russian ranges from 1:2 to 1:10 generally. Mega from 1:8 to 1:15.
Another difference to take into consideration is the cost of application. Classic lashes require little preparation, so are a much more affordable option if budget is important to you. This is because Russian and Mega lashes require a higher level of skill and larger time investment on the part of the technician, as they handmake the fans beforehand.
However, classic lashes often become “spidery” sooner than volume lashes. And need infills, because there are fewer lashes when they break or fall out there are fewer lashes to maintain the look.
What’s better, Classic, Hybrid, Russian or Mega eyelashes?
Any! It really does depend on the look you want to achieve and on your natural lashes. If you are lucky enough to have thick natural lashes you may decide to get classic lashes, so your look isn’t too dramatic.
If you don’t have naturally thick lashes, you may prefer to choose hybrid lash extensions to get the best of both worlds. Of course, Russian and Mega will likely give you lashes you won’t stop looking at.
Should I get Classic, Hybrid, Russian or Mega lashes?
The answer to this question can only be answered by you. And if you aren’t sure, discuss the options with your eyelash extension technician. They will be able to help you achieve the look you are looking for and talk to you about what is best for your natural eyelashes.
