Lash Extensions vs Lash Lift: Which Is Right for You?
Both give you better lashes but they work completely differently. Here is how to decide which is right for you.
If you are new to lash services, the choice between extensions and a lift can be confusing.
Lash Extensions
Extensions are individual synthetic lashes glued to your natural lashes. Maintenance every 2-4 weeks. Cost: $120-$300+ in NYC.
Lash Lift
A lash lift curls your natural lashes from the root. Maintenance once every 6-8 weeks. Cost: $112-$175 in NYC.
Which Should You Choose
Natural lashes you are happy with: choose lift. Want more length and volume: choose extensions. Low maintenance: choose lift.
