Owning a salon and providing lash services is more than just a job—it’s a passion for helping people feel confident and fabulous. While it’s been a recent trend to get lash extensions, they are anything but “new.” Lash extensions date back to 1916 when a Hollywood director wanted a dramatic look for his actress, so he had a wig maker craft lashes out of human hair and gauze.
If you’ve ever considered enhancing your natural beauty with lash services, I’m here to break down the what and why of lash extensions.
Lash Extensions: Customizable Glamour
One of the most popular services I offer is lash extensions. These semi-permanent lashes are attached individually to your natural lashes, creating a fuller, more dramatic look. The beauty of lash extensions is their customizability—you can choose from various lengths, curls, and thicknesses. Want something bold and voluminous? We’ve got you. Prefer a more subtle, everyday look? You got it! Lash extensions are perfect for those wanting to cut down on their makeup routine while maintaining that “awake and refreshed” look every day.
Bella Hands offers the following lash services for clients:
- Lash Lift
- Lash Lift + Tint
- Classic Lashes
- Hybrid Lashes
- Volume Lashes
- Mega Volume Lashes
You can learn more about them on our services page.
Lash Lifts: The Natural Boost
If you love the natural shape of your lashes but want a little extra oomph, a lash lift might be your best bet. When we do a lash lift, it acts like a perm that curls them upward and gives you a wide-eyed look without needing to use an eyelash curler daily. If you aren’t ready for extensions, lash lifts are the best way to enhance your look, are low-maintenance, and last 6-8 weeks.
Bonus* You can add a tint that dyes your natural lashes to make them appear fuller and more defined.
Lash Extension Services at Bella Hands
We offer four different lash extension services other than a lash lift and lash lift and tint. Each offers a unique benefit and style. Read on to learn more.
- Classic Lashes add length and volume to your natural lash line. This will give you the appearance of wearing mascara.
- Hybrid Lashes are a thicker denser lash extension that has a combination of both long and short extensions. It fills in your lash line with just a little drama.
- Volume Lashes use fans with 2-5 lashes with a diameter between .05-.07m. What does this mean? It means you have a fuller look in your lashes than what would be considered a “natural look.” Volume lashes are great if you want a dramatic look year-round.
- Mega Volume Lashes are 6+ lashes per one natural lash in .3 or .5 diameter. The extensions are very lightweight to save the integrity of the natural lash. This look brings a bold beautiful look with full lashes living up to the name, “mega.”
And yes, you’ll be seeing me in these amazing lash glasses because it lets me perfect this service by getting the extensions in just the right place!
