​Eyelash extensions, half sets, full sets, express extensions, lash lifts – what are they?!

Picture
There are so many eyelash treatments out there, how do you know which one is right for you? We’re here to explain exactly what each treatment is, how long it takes, how long it lasts and whether it will require any maintenance.
 
Semi-permanent eyelash extensions
 
What are semi-permanent eyelash extensions?
The application of one extension to each individual eyelash. If you’re looking for fullness and length from your eyelash treatment, we’d recommend this one.
 
Half set
This treatment comes in a half set or a full set. Most people tend to start out with a half set of lash extensions. This look will add length and volume but still give a natural look.
 
Full set
When you opt for a full set of semi-permanent eyelash extensions, more extensions are added to give a more dramatic look.
 
How long do they last?
If you look after your lash extensions, they can last a full growth cycle of your natural lashes – typically 6-8 weeks but we do recommend you come back for a touch up every 2-4 weeks to maintain a full lash look. Eyelash extensions will fall out naturally along with the growth cycle of the natural lash, so don’t be alarmed. And make sure you don’t pick at your eyelash extensions because it will cause them to fall out and take your natural lashes with them!
 
How long do they take?
A full set of eyelash extensions takes about two and a half hours. A half set takes about an hour and a half.
 
Is there any maintenance involved?
Due to the nature of the treatment, there is maintenance involved, that’s the price we pay for beautiful lashes! Oil based products, like makeup remover and moisturiser should be avoided around your eyes as this can weaken the adhesive. You will also need to be careful you don’t rub or pull at your lashes as this will cause them to fall out.
 
How much does it cost?
Full set: £80
Half set: £49
Eyelash maintenance £41
 
Individual express eyelash extensions
 

What are individual express eyelash extensions?
The application of one extension to every other eyelash, rather than every lash like semi-permanent eyelash extensions. It won’t give as much of a full look but will still add length and volume to your natural lashes and will save you time and money on mascara!
 
How long do they last?
Similarly to eyelash extensions, if you look after your express extensions, they can last a full growth cycle of your natural lashes – typically 6-8 weeks.
 
How long do they take?
Express eyelash extensions take about an hour.
 
Is there any maintenance involved?
Again, oil-based products should be avoided around your eyes as this can weaken the adhesive and you will need to be careful you don’t rub or pull at your lashes as this will cause the extensions to fall out, taking your natural lash with them.
 
How much does it cost?
£44
 
LVL lash lift
 
What is an LVL lash lift?
The treatment lifts your lashes from the root to create longer lashes with more volume. If you opt for a tint, this will also darken your eyelashes.
 
How long does it last?
An LVL lash lift can last up to six weeks.
 
How long does it take?
The treatment takes about an hour with a tint, and 45 minutes without a tint.  
 
Is there any maintenance involved?
The benefit of a lash lift in comparison to extensions is that there is no maintenance required. You need to keep your lashes dry 24 hours after the treatment and that’s all!
 
How much does it cost?
A lash lift costs £35 and £45 with a tint
 
It’s worth noting that we will always conduct a patch test before extensions and lash lifts to ensure you don’t have a reaction.
 
What do they all have in common? No need for mascara so your makeup routine is halved! You can book in for any of these treatments online here.

I will always for full set eyelash extension. They give you star look which is adaptable to any events such party, weddings and anniversary. They last longer than half set eyelash extension but there is some sort of maintenance that you will require which is cheaper as well. To know more maintenance and care of eyelash extension, contact Vancouver’s top yumi lash lift specialist.

That’s a well written blog! An easy way to voluminous eyelashes is with the Organic LashLift technique! I got the perfect eyelash lift at the BrowThreading salon and would totally recommend it!
