Lash Extensions vs. Lash Lifts: Which One is Right for You?


When it comes to enhancing your lashes, two popular options stand out: lash extensions and lash lifts. Both methods offer unique benefits, and the best choice for you depends on your desired look and maintenance preferences. At Glamrūm, we specialize in both services, ensuring you get the perfect lashes to suit your lifestyle.

What Are Lash Extensions?

Lash extensions involve applying synthetic, silk, or mink lashes directly to your natural lashes using a semi-permanent glue. Each extension is meticulously attached to an individual natural lash, creating a fuller, longer, and more dramatic appearance.

Benefits of Lash Extensions:

  1. Customization: Available in various lengths, thicknesses, and curls to create your desired look.
  2. Volume and Length: Instantly adds significant volume and length to your natural lashes.
  3. No Mascara Needed: Eliminates the need for daily mascara application.
  4. Long-Lasting: With proper care, lash extensions can last indefinitely. Refills are recommended every  2-3 weeks.

Considerations:

  1. Maintenance: Requires regular refills to maintain the desired look.
  2. Cost: Generally more expensive than lash lifts due to the intricate application process and regular upkeep.
  3. Care: Requires careful maintenance, including avoiding oil-based products and being gentle with your lashes.

What Are Lash Lifts?

A lash lift is a perm for your natural lashes, giving them a lasting curl and lift. The process involves applying a lifting solution to the lashes, followed by setting them in place with a neutralizing solution.

Benefits of Lash Lifts:

  1. Natural Look: Enhances the natural lashes by giving them a lifted, curled appearance.
  2. Low Maintenance: Requires less upkeep compared to lash extensions and lasts 6-8 weeks.
  3. Cost-Effective: Generally less expensive than lash extensions as it does not requires touch-ups or refills.
  4. No Restrictions: Easier to maintain, with fewer restrictions on using oil-based products or mascara.

Considerations:

  1. Less Dramatic: Doesn’t add volume or length, just a curl.
  2. Effect on Lash Health: Perming solutions can sometimes cause dryness or brittleness if not properly maintained. We recommend our keratin infusion for maintenance to avoid this.

Which One is Right for You?

Choose Lash Extensions If:

  • You want a dramatic, glamorous look with added volume and length.
  • You are willing to commit to regular maintenance and touch-ups.

Choose Lash Lifts If:

  • You prefer a natural enhancement and are happy with the length of your natural lashes.
  • You want a low-maintenance option with less frequent salon visits.
