Defined eyes without mascara every day is one of our clients' most common wishes. Two treatments make it possible: a lash lift and eyelash extensions. Both give beautiful results, but in completely different ways, so it is worth knowing the difference before you decide.<\/p>\n

Lash lift: your own lashes, only more beautiful<\/h2>\n

A lash lift<\/a> lifts and shapes your natural lashes from the root, so your eyes look more open and your lashes longer. It is usually combined with tinting, which gives the lashes a darker colour and a fuller look. The result is natural and needs no maintenance.<\/p>\n

Extensions: volume and length as you like<\/h2>\n

With eyelash extensions<\/a>, an artificial lash of carefully chosen length, thickness and curl is attached to each natural lash. This lets us create anything from a subtle natural look to dramatic volume. Because natural lashes grow and fall out in cycles, extensions need regular infills.<\/p>\n

How to choose?<\/h2>\n

If your own lashes are long enough and you love a natural look, a lash lift is a simple, no-commitment choice. If your lashes are short or sparse, or you want a visibly more dramatic look, extensions will give you more. At a consultation we will assess your lashes together and suggest what will best highlight the shape of your eyes.<\/p>\n
