Classic eyelash extensions are the most natural-looking option in the lash extension category. One extension is applied to each natural lash, creating a defined, lengthened result that enhances your eyes without the obvious drama of volume or mega-volume sets. At Korra Spa in Bali, classic lash extensions are performed by trained technicians using high-quality materials that prioritise both the look and the health of your natural lashes.
What Classic Lash Extensions Are and How They Differ from Volume Lashes
There are three main types of eyelash extensions: classic, hybrid, and volume. Classic extensions apply a single extension to each individual natural lash. The result is a clean, enhanced look that makes lashes appear longer and slightly fuller, but in a way that reads as natural.
Volume lash extensions apply multiple thin extensions to each natural lash using a fan technique, creating a fuller, more dramatic result. This is a popular choice for those who prefer a bold, noticeable look or who have sparse natural lashes.
Classic extensions are the preferred choice for guests who want an enhancement that looks as though it could simply be their natural lashes on a good day. They are also the most comfortable option in terms of lash weight, placing less strain on the natural lash.
The Classic Lash Application Process at Korra Spa
The application session begins with a thorough cleanse of the eye area to remove any trace of oil, mascara, or product residue. Clean lashes are essential for adhesive performance and longevity.
Lower lashes are isolated with a soft gel pad to prevent them from being caught during application. The technician then works with precision, selecting and applying each extension individually to a single natural lash. Tweezers are used with careful accuracy to ensure even placement and clean separation.
The full classic set application takes approximately 90 to 120 minutes depending on the natural lash count. The experience itself is relaxing: most guests rest quietly or fall asleep during the treatment.
How Long Classic Lash Extensions Last
Classic eyelash extensions last for the natural growth cycle of the lashes, typically between three to four weeks before an infill is recommended. Natural lashes shed continuously, and as they do, the extensions attached to them shed as well. Regular infill appointments every two to three weeks maintain the fullness of the set.
Longevity is significantly affected by aftercare. The key aftercare practices are:
- Avoiding water, steam, and heavy sweating for the first 24 to 48 hours after application
- Not using oil-based products around the eye area, as oil degrades the adhesive
- Brushing the lashes gently each morning with a clean spoolie
- Sleeping on your back or a silk pillowcase to reduce friction
Classic vs Volume: Which Should You Choose
The right choice depends on what you want from your lashes:
- Choose classic if you want a natural, every-day enhancement with minimal maintenance visibility
- Choose volume if you want fullness, drama, or if your natural lashes are sparse
- Choose hybrid if you want something between the two, adding some fullness while maintaining a mostly natural appearance
The lash technicians at Korra Spa are happy to assess your natural lashes and discuss which option will produce the result you are looking for.
