Quick Differences
- Lash lift: Curls your natural lashes; lasts 6-8 weeks; minimal upkeep.
- Extensions: Adds length and volume; infills every 2-3 weeks for best fullness.
Cost & Maintenance
- Lash lift: Lower upfront, no infills. Ideal for low-maintenance routines.
- Extensions: Higher initial cost; ongoing infills. Ideal for consistent glam.
Look & Customisation
- Lash lift: Natural enhancement; tint adds depth.
- Extensions: Highly customisable—classic, hybrid, volume, curl types, lengths.
Lifestyle Fit
- Active/sweaty routines: Both are fine after cure times; lifts need less touch-up.
- Event-heavy calendars: Extensions deliver the most impact for photos and nights out.
- Allergies/sensitivity: Lifts avoid adhesive; extensions may need patch tests/low-fume glues.
Not sure? You can rotate: do extensions for events, then a lift for low-maintenance months.
When to Choose Each
- Choose a lift: You want natural, mascara-free mornings with minimal upkeep.
- Choose extensions: You want visible fullness/length and styling flexibility.
- Try both over a year: Many clients switch seasonally to match their schedule.
