When to choose a lash lift
- If your natural lashes are long enough but straight or pointing downwards.
- If you want the most natural effect possible.
- If you don’t want to come in for refills every 2–4 weeks.
- If you do a lot of sport, swimming or sauna.
More: lash lift.
When to choose extensions
- If your natural lashes are shorter or sparse and you want length or fullness.
- If you want a “ready” look in the morning even without make-up.
- If you love a bold, full effect.
- If a few minutes of daily care and regular refills fit into your routine.

Can I switch between the two?
Yes, but keep one thing in mind: if you have had a lash lift in the last 1.5–2 months, be sure to mention it when you contact me, so we can choose the best timing and technique.
