What are hybrid lash extensions?
Hybrid lash extensions are a combination of classic and volume lash extensions that offer the best of both worlds – the natural look of classic lashes and the added fullness and drama of volume lashes. The result is a look that’s fuller, thicker and more glamorous than classic lashes alone. Hybrid lash extensions are done by creating fans by bonding together 2 – 8 lash extensions per natural lash, making them a great option for those looking for a more dramatic look without the hassle of having to apply multiple sets of extensions.

Classic lash extensions use one extension per natural eyelash, while hybrid lash extensions are created using a mix of classic and volume lashes. The resulting look is fuller and thicker, making it a great option for clients who are looking for something more dramatic than a classic lash extension treatment.
