Compare Lash Lift and Lash Extension Options
If you want more noticeable lashes but are unsure whether to choose a lash lift or lash extensions, the right choice depends on the look you want and how much maintenance you prefer. At Lashes By Orel in Tarzana, we work with clients from throughout Los Angeles County and help match the service to their natural lashes and lifestyle.
What Is a Lash Lift?
A lash lift works with your natural lashes. The lashes are lifted and curled from the base to create a more open-eye effect without adding extensions. It is a good option for clients who like a natural look and want lower maintenance.
- Price: $120
- Appointment time: about 45 to 60 minutes
- Typical result: about 6 weeks
- Optional Lash Tint: $20
What Are Lash Extensions?
For local appointment options, see our Tarzana lash extension services and the Lash Lift service page.
Lash extensions add individual extensions or lightweight fans to the natural lashes. They can be customized from subtle to full depending on whether you choose Classic, Hybrid, or Volume.
- Classic: $140
- Hybrid: $160
- Volume: $170
- Full-set appointment time: approximately 2 hours
Which Requires More Maintenance?
Lash extensions require regular fills because extensions shed with the natural lash cycle. Most clients return every 2 to 3 weeks. A lash lift grows out gradually with your natural lashes and does not require fill appointments.
Which Looks More Natural?
Both can look natural when customized correctly. A lash lift enhances what you already have. Classic extensions add more definition while still keeping a natural appearance. Hybrid and Volume offer progressively more fullness.
Which Service Is Best for You?
Choose a lash lift if you want low maintenance and prefer to enhance your own lashes. Choose extensions if you want more length, density, or the ability to customize fullness and shape. If you are unsure, contact us before scheduling and we can help you decide.
