Lash guide
Two people can book the same service and leave looking completely different. Curl, length and where the longest lashes land are chosen for your eyes — that's the part you're really paying for.
The first is your eye shape, which tells me where to put length and how much curl will actually be visible when your eyes are open. The second is your natural lashes — how many you have and how strong they are — and that one has veto power. I won't apply weight your own lashes can't carry, however much you like a photo.
So the honest answer to "which style should I get" is usually decided in the first five minutes of the appointment, with your eyes open, then closed. What follows is what I'm looking for.
Length pushed out toward the outer third, so the eye reads longer rather than wider. Keeping the longest lashes in the centre is the thing to avoid here — it emphasises the roundness.
Works well as classic or hybrid.
The most forgiving shape — nearly anything sits well, so preference decides it rather than correction. If you've been wanting to try something denser, this is the shape that lets you.
Any of the three.
Curl matters more than length. Too flat a curl disappears under the lid and too much length hits the fold, so a stronger curl at a shorter length keeps the set visible when you're awake and looking at people.
Hybrid or volume, shorter than you'd expect.
Also curl-led, and it works beautifully. One of my clients was certain extensions wouldn't suit her because she's monolid — her words afterwards were that it looked great.
Hybrid or volume with a strong curl.
Where the longest section sits shifts out or in by a few millimetres. It's a small change written down and a large one in the mirror.
Any style — it's placement, not technique.
Tell me at the start. I've measured a client's frames against her set to keep the lashes from brushing the lens — it changes the length I'd otherwise choose.
Three different clients, photographed through the magnifier mid-application.
They're looks, and both are achievable inside the sets I already offer. A cat eye is length carried out to the outer corner; a doll eye keeps the longest lashes toward the centre. Same appointment, same price — different placement.
So don't hunt for them on the menu. Book the style that fits your natural lashes, then tell me the look you want.
"I wanted a more natural look but length and less of a curl. She even explained that I like the C-curl so that I would know my preference for the future."
Genuinely — it helps me see what you're drawn to. But the set in it was built for someone else's eyes on someone else's natural lashes, so copying it exactly is rarely the right call.
What I can read from a photo is the density you like, the curl, and how far out it's carried. Then I build the closest honest version for your eyes, which usually beats the photo because it fits.
That's normal, and it's my job. Book any full set and we'll decide together before I start — or text me at (803) 431-4387 and I'll tell you where I'd begin. Full sets from $120.
