This or That - Lash Lift vs Lash Extensions

Written By Tahlia Dickson

When it comes to enhancing your lashes, two of the most popular treatments are lash lifts and lash extensions—but which one is right for you? Both offer beautiful, eye-opening results, yet they differ in technique, maintenance, and overall look.

Lash Lift: Natural & Low-Maintenance

A lash lift is like a perm for your natural lashes. It lifts, curls, and defines each lash to create the look of longer, more lifted lashes without the need for extensions or mascara. Ideal for those with naturally straight or downward-growing lashes, a lash lift enhances what you already have.

Pros:

  • Uses your natural lashes—no extensions needed

  • Low maintenance and lasts 6–8 weeks

  • Great for active lifestyles and minimal beauty routines

Best for: Clients with healthy natural lashes who prefer a subtle, natural look with minimal upkeep.

Lash Extensions: Full & Glamorous

Lash extensions involve applying individual synthetic lashes to your natural ones, creating a fuller, longer, and more dramatic effect. You can customise the length, curl, and thickness to suit your style—from soft and wispy to bold and voluminous.

Pros:

  • Adds length and volume beyond your natural lashes

  • Customisable results

  • Instantly glamorous

Best for: Clients who want a more dramatic or made-up look without applying mascara or strip lashes.

Which One Should You Choose?

If you prefer a natural, low-fuss beauty routine, a lash lift might be your perfect match. If you love a bold, ready-to-go look every day, lash extensions could be your go-to.
