The patch test isn't required no-more but if you feel that your skin is sensitive then we recommend to take a patch test 24 hours prior to appointment.
The difference between eyelashes styles
Eyelash extension styles vary based on length, volume, and pattern.
The right style can accentuate the client's natural eye shape and meet their desired level of drama or subtlety.
Here's a breakdown of the most popular eyelash extension styles:
1. Classic (1:1 Technique)
-
Description: One extension is applied to one natural lash.
-
Effect: Adds length and some volume, but maintains a more natural look.
2. Volume (2D to 6D or Russian Volume)
-
Description: Multiple thinner extensions (from 2 to 6) are made into a fan shape and applied to a single natural lash.
-
Effect: Gives a fuller, fluffier look, adding significant volume.
3. Mega Volume
