* Type of Extensions:
* Classic Lashes: These are the fastest to apply, usually taking around 1.5 to 2 hours. One extension is applied to one natural lash.
* Hybrid Lashes: A mix of classic and volume lashes. Application typically takes 2 to 2.5 hours.
* Volume Lashes: Multiple thin extensions are fanned out and applied to one natural lash. This is the most time-consuming, often taking 2.5 to 3.5 hours or longer.
* Mega Volume Lashes: Uses even thinner extensions to create an extremely full and dramatic look. Can take 3 to 4 hours or longer.
* Experience of the Technician: A more experienced and efficient technician can often complete the application faster while still maintaining quality.
* Number of Natural Lashes: The more natural lashes you have, the more extensions can be applied, which can increase the application time.
* Desired Look: A more dramatic and full look will generally take longer to achieve.
Touch-up or Refill Appointments: Refills, which are needed every 2-4 weeks to replace lashes that have shed naturally, usually take 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on how many lashes need replacing.
Important Note: Don't rush the process! It's better to have a technician take their time to ensure proper application and the health of your natural lashes.
