Eyelash Extensions
Lash Design
- Classic lashes – These will give you the most natural look. This is achieved by placement of one individual eyelash on each lash (1:1 ratio) creating a beautiful mascara look. With Classic lashes you can range from simple to bold.
- Hybrid lashes= These are a mixture of individual lashes (the classics) and fans (volume). With this set you get an effortless textured wispy set without placing on any Spikes. The hybrid lash set is the one most similar to common strip lashes.
- Volume lashes= With this set, the lashes are made into flowering fans to give you an all around full voluminous look. This is our most popular lash style. It is likely because it has great coverage and looks fabulous on every eye shape and style!
- Mega Volume lashes = This style of lashes is very similar to volume lash sets. The biggest difference is that the flowering fan is thicker and larger. This helps to give the eye a bold, more dramatic full coverage lash look.
When you get your eyelash extensions they are not permanent. Did you know that most people lose 20–30% of their natural eyelashes every two weeks? That means that when they shed, your eyelash extensions go with the naturally shed lashes. For this reason we recommend returning for a lash fill every two weeks. At that time, Marcela will remove long or overgrown extensions, as well as replace those that have naturally shed since your last visit.
