New to the world of lashes? Starting out as a Lash Tech can be a rewarding job and great income booster! It takes a while to perfect your skills which is why we always advise starting with Classic Individual Lash Extensions.

In todays blog where looking at the benefits of incorporating Hybrid and Russian Volume lashes into your skill set!

Firstly, whats the difference? 

Classics:

Classics are the most common type of extension and are perfect for creating a natural look, ideal for clients who are looking for a natural lengthen and volume without the drama.

They are applied in a 1:1 ratio, one lash applied to one lash. The other main difference is the thickness of the lash ranging from 0.10-0.15

Classics vary in price, lash techs on average will charge on average £40 for a set

 Russian Volume 

An advanced technique that requires lots of practice.. Russian lashes use fans created with individual lashes to apply to the natural lash.Typically, a volume lash uses 2 to 5 extensions per fan while a mega volume fan uses 6 to 16 artificial lashes.

This creates a very full, dramatic look. Ideal for clients that are looking for a fuller, less natural look.

A set of Russians range from £60-£70

Hybrids 

One of the newest and most popular styles combines Classic and Russian volume styles, using a blend of individual lashes with fans to create a full, glamorous set!

Hybrids can still have a natural look and take some practice to perfect, these are the sets that take the most artistry to deliver.

Hybrids on average can set clients back £55 for a full set

What are the benefits of branching out into other lash styles? 

1. Client base. It will allow you to tap into a new client base. Clients looking for fuller, bolder lashes will prefer Russian Volume and Hybrid lashes
2. New skills. If you’re now a master of Classics you might be looking for more of a challenge, starting to practice lash mapping, making fans and building your skills in lash artistry could be the challenge you’ve been looking for!
3. Business marketing. Russian Volume and Hybrid lashes are extremely popular, in regards to marketing your business they may be the treatments you need to start boosting your social presence, use before and after photos, videos and tutorials to build your social media using the hashtags #Russianvolume and #Hybridlashes

What is the Kim K Lash look

The Kim K Lash look focusses on creating a wispy, spiked look. It’s a style that’s becoming increasingly popular with clients. This look is designed around applying longer lashes at equally distanced points along the map, this creates a fuller, fluffier look. Ideal for clients with smaller eyes and a high set brow, this map can create the illusion of larger eyes. This is a map that benefits from a lot of practice!

To create the perfect Kim K look the key to master a wispy lash map. You will need to determine which lengths and where to place the spiked lashes to create an even volumed lash. Let’s take a close look at the method..

Prepare your equipment: You will need your usual lash equipment such as eye pads and lash mapping pen in addition you may want to have some tape at hand for use during the application. An ideal tweezer would be a multifunctional tweezer that can be used with Classic and Volume extensions.

Before you begin your Kim K Map: Following your clients natural lashes lash line and evenly mark the areas you will be applying your spikes, start at the peak points to create a frame for your map. When creating your spikes it can work best to create various lengths for a more natural/wispy result. Once you have mapped where to apply your spikes we would suggest applying these first prior to filling in the gaps with the following lashes.

Filling in the gaps: Once you have applied your spikes, you’re ready to start filling in the lashes. The highest point of your lash map should be the middle or outer corner of the lash line, depending on whether you would like more of a foxy look! Professional recommendations would be to use 2 to 3mm shorter volume lashes to attach between spikes. If you choose to use 11 and 12mm for spikes in inner corners, the filling lashes in this area should be 9 and 10mm.

Remember that practice makes perfect and you may not create the perfect set to start with, stick with it and the more you do the more confident you will become! If you have a lash map you would like to share tag us on your socials @thebeautyacademyuk
