Find the Right Eyelash Extension Style
Not sure which type of eyelash extensions to choose? You don’t have to decide before your appointment.
Your lash artist will discuss the look you want and assess your eye shape and the condition, density, and length of your natural lashes. Based on your preferences and what your natural lashes can comfortably support, the artist can help you select an appropriate style and level of fullness.
| Style | Look | Fullness | May Be a Good Choice If You Want |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic | Subtle and defined | Light | A more natural-looking enhancement |
| Hybrid | Textured and fuller | Medium | More fullness than Classic without going fully dramatic |
| Volume | Full and noticeable | Full | A more prominent lash line |
| Mega Volume | Bold and dramatic | Maximum | The fullest effect your natural lashes can appropriately support |
The final choice is always individualized. If the volume or style you request isn’t appropriate for your natural lashes, your lash artist may recommend a different option.
Customize Your Set
Your lash set can be customized across several elements. These options can be combined to create a result that suits your preferences, eye shape, and natural lashes.
| Choose | Options |
|---|---|
| Volume / Type | Classic · Hybrid · Volume · Mega Volume · Russian Volume |
| Texture / Finish | Wispy · Wet Set |
| Shape | Cat Eye · Doll Eye · Fox Eye |
| Length & Curl | Selected individually based on your preferences and natural lashes |
You are welcome to bring a reference photo. An exact recreation isn’t always possible because natural lash density, eye shape, and other individual features differ from person to person. Your lash artist can adapt the inspiration to create a look that works for you.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Your appointment starts with a consultation immediately before the application. You’ll discuss your desired result, and the lash artist will assess your natural lashes before determining the final length, curl, volume, and shape.
A new full set typically takes around 1.5–2 hours. Classic sets may take approximately 1.5 hours, while more elaborate volume sets can take around 2 hours or slightly longer. Timing also depends on the number and condition of your natural lashes.
It’s preferable to arrive without eye makeup or contact lenses. If necessary, makeup can be removed and contact lenses can be taken out at the studio before the service begins.
Lash Refills and Professional Removal
Eyelash extensions gradually shed along with your natural lashes as part of their normal growth cycle. A set typically maintains its appearance for approximately 3–4 weeks, although retention varies from person to person and can be affected by lifestyle.
To maintain a fuller look, a lash refill is generally recommended every 3–4 weeks.
Already have extensions from another salon? Glow Lab can perform a refill after evaluating the existing set. If too few extensions remain or the existing lashes are heavily stuck together, your lash artist may recommend professional removal followed by a new full set instead.
Professional eyelash extension removal is also available for sets applied at Glow Lab or another salon.
Protecting Your Natural Lashes
The condition of your natural lashes matters when choosing an extension set.
More volume isn’t automatically better. If your natural lashes are too fine or sparse to comfortably support the requested look, your lash artist may recommend a lighter alternative.
Proper application also means keeping individual lashes separated rather than sticking multiple natural lashes together unnecessarily. Combined with an appropriate choice of length and volume, this approach helps avoid placing unnecessary stress on your natural lashes.
Avoid pulling or picking at your extensions, as this can pull on the natural lashes they’re attached to.
Your lash artist will provide aftercare recommendations for your set following the appointment.

Eyelash extension services at Glow Lab are performed by licensed beauty professionals who have also completed specialized training in eyelash extension application.
