Eyelash Extensions 101: Everything You Need to Know Before Your First Appointment

Eyelash Extensions 101: Everything You Need to Know Before Your First Appointment

Eyelash extensions have become one of the most popular beauty services, and for good reason. They eliminate the need for mascara, create a polished look around the clock, and can be customized to suit any style from natural to dramatic.

At Ruby Nails, we offer three types of lash extensions: Classic, Hybrid, and Volume. Classic extensions involve applying one extension to each natural lash, creating a natural, mascara-like effect. Our Classic Full Set starts at $120.

Hybrid lashes blend classic and volume techniques for a fuller, more textured look. Starting at $200 for a full set, this option is perfect for those who want something between natural and dramatic.

Volume lash extensions use ultra-fine lashes applied in fans of multiple extensions per natural lash. The result is a luxurious, fluffy appearance that makes a statement. Our Volume Full Set starts at $300.

To prepare for your appointment, arrive with clean, makeup-free eyes. Avoid caffeine beforehand, as it can make your eyes twitch. The application process takes one to two hours for a full set, so bring headphones and get comfortable.

For aftercare, avoid getting your lashes wet for the first 24 hours. Sleep on your back when possible, avoid rubbing your eyes, and use oil-free makeup remover. With proper care, your lashes can last four to six weeks with regular fills every two to three weeks.

Book your lash appointment at Ruby Nails in Fishers and wake up gorgeous every morning.
