Lash extensions are gaining traction as more and more influencers and celebs gravitate toward the "I-woke-up-like-this" look. These semipermanent lashes are applied to your eyes by a licensed professional and are the priciest option of the bunch. Extensions can be done using various lash types, ranging from mink fur to synthetic fibers. A first-time install can run you upwards of $150 for a classic set, but they give you the most versatility of all false lash options. Individual lashes are bonded to your natural lash and fall out the same way your normal lashes do. They can withstand all your daily activities, making them a great option for someone who wants to look fly 24/7. Extensions also require the most maintenance. Similarly to acrylics, you have to return to your salon every two to three weeks for a "fill." Although pricing varies by studio, licensed studios often charge upwards of $80 to touch up your extensions.
