Have you considered applying eyelash extensions? The term “eyelash extension” refers to applying eyelashes to natural lashes, but there are three different types of these products: individual, cluster and strip eyelash extensions. When you speak with professionals, ask them to explain you what extension type they will apply. The difference between them is significant, as well as the prices.
Individual lashes are applied to each individual eyelash, one by one. This process is obviously time-consuming and sometimes it’s difficult to ensure the extension to be adhered straight to the natural lash. For these reasons, well done application of individual eyelash extensions is quite expensive and the price is $400 approximately for the initial treatment which can last one to three hours, depending on the number of applied eyelashes. Once applied, individual eyelash extensions need to be touched up on weekly basis. They can last between three and four weeks.
Cluster lash extensions are bound together in a “V” shape clumps of lashes. Cluster lashes come in different density and length and they are quite easy to apply successfully. Application time is shorter since cluster lash extensions mean applying several eyelashes at the same time. If it’s done by an experienced professional, cluster eyelashes can be applied in about half an hour and the price is about $170. Also, cluster lashes can be applied at home.
Strip lash extensions are so far the easiest to be applied, but these eyelash extensions are also the easiest to notice they are not real. However, since they are hard to identify as not being real from a distance, strip lash extensions are frequently used for runway fashion shows and other special one-day events. With an appropriate glue, strip lashes can last longer than two weeks and the price ranges between $20 and $60.
