Lash Extensions vs Lash Lifts - Which is right for you?

Want to enhance your eyes and lashes but don't know which treatment is right for you? We hear you. Let us navigate your way through all the various treatments available and find what is best suited to you! 

Let's break it down first: 

What are Lash Extensions?

Lash Extensions are individually applied to the natural lash 1-2mm away from your lash line. The Lash Extensions grow and fall out with your natural lash growth cycle.

Pink Crystal Beauty recommends Lash Extensions if you have short, sparse or fine natural lashes. This is because we are able to extend the length of your lashes and provide fullness. Lash Extensions can be as natural or glam as you prefer, but remember, all results will vary depending on your own natural lashes. 

Pink Crystal Beauty always provides a thorough consultation prior to lash application to determine the most suitable length, curl, style to your eye shape. 

Benefits of Lash Extensions

  • Waking up every morning with gorgeous lashes without the effort - who doesn't want that! 
  • Cutting down your morning routine
  • You can throw away your mascara - you won't be needing that anymore!
  • Lash Extension Appointments = Free Therapy Sessions & Lash Naps

What Maintenance Lash Extensions Require

  • Lash Extension Refills must be spaced out every 2-3 maximum 
  • Cleansing your Lash Extensions daily. Yes, it's a non negotiable. Oil Free Foaming Lash Cleansers ensures your lashes are kept fluffy and clean from any nasties such as makeup, dirt, debris and oil. Too much of a build up without cleansing can cause eye infections and we definitely, do not want that! Clean lashes = Happy lashes. 

Now, time to discuss the opposition.. 

What is a Lash Lift?

A Lash Lift is a non-invasive, quick and low maintenance treatment designed to give you the appearance of lifted, longer, thicker and darker natural lashes. 

The results can be retained even after showering or swimming which is why it's such a popular option. 

Pink Crystal Beauty recommends Lash Lifts if you have a busy lifestyle, always on the go and/or prefer a more natural look. Although Lash Lifts can be performed on all natural lash lengths, optimal results shown from clients who have medium/long natural lashes. This is because the difference is more noticeable as we are able to provide a better curl. 

Pink Crystal Beauty will provide a thorough consultation prior to the Lash Lift service to determine which lifting rod will best suit your eye shape and natural lashes. 

The Verdict...

At the end of the day it all comes down to your preference. 

If you don't mind the upkeep of lash extensions every fortnight and love to add some extra drama to your eyes, then lash extensions may be better suited to you. 

If you prefer not to pop into the salon as often but still want an enhancement to your eyes, a lash lift will be your best friend!
