Lash Extensions vs. Lash Lifts: Which Is Right for You?

Writer: Lucia ScacciaLucia Scaccia

It’s Lucia here, your go-to lash artist at Lena Shkreli & Company. If you're looking to elevate your lash game but aren't sure whether to go for lash extensions or a lash lift, I totally get it. Both options can give you gorgeous, eye-catching lashes, but they each have their unique benefits. So, let me break it down for you so you can make the best choice based on your needs and lifestyle.



Lash Extensions: For That Extra Glam

Lash extensions are my absolute favorite way to give you that bold, voluminous look with just a bit of extra glamour. Here’s why you might love them:

  • Customizable Volume: Whether you're into a natural, wispy look or something more dramatic, lash extensions can be customized to suit your style perfectly. I can create the perfect length, curl, and thickness based on your natural lashes and what you're hoping to achieve.

  • Fuller Lashes, Instantly: Lash extensions add volume and length right away. If you’ve got sparse or shorter lashes, this is a game-changer! They make your lashes look fuller without any effort on your part.

  • Low Maintenance: Once your lashes are on, you’ll wake up looking fabulous every day. No need for mascara or curling your lashes—your extensions do the work for you.

  • Long-Lasting Results: With proper care, lash extensions can last 3-4 weeks before you need a touch-up. Most of my clients see me every 3 weeks for fills.


Who’s It For? Lash extensions are perfect for anyone who loves a bold, glamorous look and doesn’t mind coming in for maintenance every 2-3 weeks. If you’re ready for the commitment and want to wake up every day with perfect lashes, extensions are a great choice.


Lash Lifts: For Natural, Effortless Beauty

If you’re not into the idea of extensions or you prefer something a bit more natural but still stunning, a lash lift might be the way to go. A lash lift is a keratin based solution for your natural lashes, giving them a beautiful curl that lasts for weeks. Here’s why lash lifts are amazing:

  • Natural Look: A lash lift enhances your natural lashes by giving them a beautiful curl and some lift, but without the added bulk of extensions. It’s perfect if you love the idea of enhancing what you already have.

  • Low Maintenance: Lash lifts require very little upkeep. Once done, you can just wake up and go—no need for mascara or curling irons. Your lashes are perfectly curled and ready to shine.

  • Long-Lasting Results: A lash lift can last up to 6-8 weeks, depending on your lash growth cycle, and it requires no touch-ups in between. You’ll love how your natural lashes just look effortlessly perfect.

  • Great for Sensitive Lashes: If you have more delicate or sparse lashes and don’t want the weight of extensions, a lash lift is a gentle option that will still give you beautiful, curled lashes.


Who’s It For?If you’re after a more natural, fuss-free look, or if you’re not ready to commit to extensions, a lash lift is a perfect choice. It's great for those who have naturally long lashes but just need a little extra curl and volume.


So, Which One Should You Choose?

If you're still unsure, let me help you decide based on your personal style:

  • Go for Lash Extensions If…

    • You want a dramatic, full, and voluminous lash look.

    • You love the idea of low-maintenance, wake-up-ready lashes every day.

    • You're okay with coming in for regular maintenance (about every 3-4 weeks).

  • Go for a Lash Lift If…

    • You prefer a more natural, effortless look with a beautiful, lasting curl.

    • You want a low-maintenance lash enhancement without the need for extensions.

    • You love the idea of having your natural lashes lifted and curled without any added weight.


At the end of the day, both lash extensions and lash lifts are incredible options, and it really comes down to the look and feel you’re after. I’d love to help you decide which option is the best fit for your lash goals. Whether you’re looking for drama with extensions or a natural lift with a lash perm, Lena Shkreli & Company is here to make your lash dreams come true.
