If you’re interested in eyelash extensions, you’ve probably heard of the terms “classic,” “volume,” “3D,” and “5D.” But what do they all mean, and which one is right for you? Let’s find out!

The Perfect Tool To Apply Lash Extensions 

Every lash artist knows that making fans is one of the most time consuming parts of the entire process, right? We developed a solution called the Tailor Lash Machine that makes it easy to create lash fans in less than a second without having to bend over and pull fans manually.

Classic Eyelash Extensions: Simple and Natural

Classic eyelash extensions are the most basic and natural-looking lash extensions. They are applied on a 1:1 ratio, which means one extension on one natural lash. This gives you a subtle, understated enhancement that can make your eyes look bigger and brighter without the need for makeup.

Volume Eyelash Extensions: Full and Glamorous

Volume eyelash extensions offer a more dramatic, full look that will make your eyes pop. They involve applying a “fan” of lash extensions to one natural lash, which means you can have a 1:3 or 1:5 ratio, rather than the 1:1 ratio of classic lashes.

There are several varieties when it comes to volume lashes, including 2D, 3D, 4D, 5D, and even 6D, also known as Russian Volume. The “D” stands for dimension, and the number represents the number of extensions applied to each natural lash. 

Which One is Right for Your Clients?

Choosing between classic and volume lashes ultimately comes down to personal preference and the look they’re trying to achieve. The best strategy is to offer a consultation before the appointment as a way to understand what they want to achieve and align expectations. Either way, remember to use the Tailor Lash Tool to improve your lashing technique and get better results for your customers.
