Flat lash vs volume vs hybrid — which is right for you?

Booking your first set and stuck on the words? Here's the plain-English difference between the three most popular eyelash extension styles — and how to pick the one that suits your eyes.

Flat lash (classic style)

One extension is applied to one natural lash. "Flat" lashes have a light, ellipse-shaped base that grips more surface while weighing less, so the result looks like your own lashes — just darker and defined. Best if you want a natural, everyday look, or if your natural lashes are on the finer side.

Volume

Instead of one extension, your artist hand-makes a fan of several ultra-fine lashes and applies it to a single natural lash. The result is full, soft and fluffy — think glam and dramatic. Great for special occasions or anyone who loves a bold, dense lash line.

Hybrid

A mix of flat/classic lashes and volume fans across your lash line. This gives that textured, "wispy" look that's everywhere right now — fuller than classic, softer than full volume. A favourite middle ground.

So which should you choose?

Not sure? Your natural lashes (length, thickness, health) affect what suits you best. Message us with a photo and we'll recommend a set — or decide together at your consultation.
