If you are deciding between a lash lift and eyelash extensions, the right choice really depends on your lifestyle, how much maintenance you want, and the kind of look you prefer. Many clients who visit our Carlton studio ask this question, so here is a simple guide to help you decide which option may suit you best.
Many clients ask if a lash lift works on short lashes. The answer is yes, but the result depends on your natural lash length, thickness and growth direction.

If you are not sure whether your lashes are long enough for a lash lift, a consultation can help determine what result you can expect.

If your lashes are very short or very sparse, the result will be natural and subtle rather than dramatic.
If you are looking for more length or volume, eyelash extensions may be more suitable.
