Classic lash extensions have been Korra Spa’s most popular beauty treatment for years, and for good reason. But there is another option on the menu that is growing steadily in demand: volume lash extensions. Whether you are new to lash extensions entirely or you have worn classic lashes before and want something more dramatic, this guide explains everything you need to know about volume lashes in Bali and why Korra Spa is one of the best places on the island to get them done.
What Are Volume Lash Extensions?
Volume lash extensions use a fundamentally different application technique from classic lashes. Instead of placing one extension on each natural lash (the classic method), volume lashing applies a handmade fan of two to six ultra-fine extensions to each single natural lash. The result is a fuller, more dimensional lash line that classic extensions cannot achieve, without the heavy, weighed-down feeling of old-style dramatic lashes.
The key to volume lashes is the weight. Each individual extension in a volume fan is significantly finer and lighter than a classic extension. So even though you end up with three to five times as many extensions on the lash line, the overall weight per natural lash is often comparable or even less than classic extensions. This makes volume lashes surprisingly comfortable and very kind to the natural lash when applied correctly.
Volume Lash Options at Korra Spa
Korra Spa offers four distinct volume lash extension options, each designed to deliver a different level of impact:
Volume Soft Lash (650,000 IDR)
The entry point to volume lashing. The Volume Soft Lash uses lightweight fans to add fluffy dimension and fullness without going into dramatic territory. The result is a wide-awake, glamorous look with significant volume that still reads as natural in daylight. This is the most popular choice for guests who want to look noticeably better in photos and in person without committing to a bold, theatrical effect.
Volume Soft Lash Brown (800,000 IDR)
The same fluffy volume as the standard Volume Soft Lash but using brown-toned extensions rather than black. The softer colour creates a more natural, sun-kissed definition that is particularly flattering on lighter skin tones and those with naturally lighter lashes. A beautiful option for guests wanting volume with a softer, more understated look.
Volume Rich Lash (750,000 IDR)
For maximum impact. The Volume Rich Lash creates a dark, dense, and dramatic lash line with a full, luxurious fan effect that reads as bold and confident from across the room. Ideal for special occasions, photoshoots, or guests who simply love a strong lash look and wear it with confidence. This is the most dramatic option on the Korra Spa lash menu.
Bottom Lash (250,000 IDR)
A finishing touch rather than a standalone treatment, bottom lash extensions add delicate definition to the lower lash line that opens up the eyes for a complete, wide-awake effect. Many guests add bottom lashes to their upper volume set for a more finished and polished result in photos.
Volume vs. Classic Lash Extensions at Korra Spa
Both are available, and both are excellent. Here is how to decide which suits you:
- Choose Classic Lashes if you want a defined, mascara-effect look that enhances your natural lashes without obvious glamour. Ideal for everyday wear and guests who prefer subtlety.
- Choose Volume Soft Lash if you want noticeably fuller, fluffier lashes that photograph beautifully and feel glamorous without being theatrical
- Choose Volume Rich Lash if you want a bold, dramatic eye look for a special event or simply because you love maximum lashes
How Long Do Volume Lash Extensions Last in Bali?
Volume lash extensions follow the same cycle as your natural lashes. Most people lose three to five natural lashes per day as part of the normal growth cycle, and the extensions attached to those lashes shed with them. In typical conditions, volume lashes look full for two to three weeks before gaps begin to appear and a refill is recommended.
In Bali, a few factors can affect longevity:
- Heat and humidity speed up the loosening of adhesive; avoid steam rooms and very hot showers
- Salt water and chlorine weaken the adhesive bond; try to keep lashes dry during swimming
- Oils (including sunscreen) can break down the adhesive; apply sunscreen carefully around the eye area
Refills: Keeping Your Volume Lashes Fresh
For guests on extended Bali stays, Korra Spa offers volume lash refills at 450,000 IDR. Refills are recommended every two to three weeks and involve removing outgrown extensions and replacing them with fresh fans to maintain the full, even look of the original set.
Frequently Asked Questions: Volume Lash Extensions in Bali
Do volume lash extensions damage natural lashes?
When applied by a trained technician with correct fan weight and adhesive, volume lashes do not damage natural lashes. Damage occurs when extensions are too heavy for the natural lash, applied with too much adhesive, or removed by pulling rather than professional dissolution. At Korra Spa, our lash technicians are trained to prioritise natural lash health.
How long does the volume lash application take?
A full set of volume lashes typically takes between 90 minutes and two hours depending on the style chosen. Please allow this time in your schedule and avoid scheduling intensive activities immediately after.
Can I wear eye makeup with volume lash extensions?
You can, but most guests find they no longer want to. Volume lashes eliminate the need for mascara entirely, and eye shadow can be worn as normal. Avoid oil-based eye makeup remover on the lash line as it breaks down the adhesive.
How do I remove volume lash extensions?
Professional removal at Korra Spa uses a specialised gel remover that dissolves the adhesive without pulling. Do not attempt to remove lash extensions at home by pulling or rubbing as this will remove your natural lashes along with the extensions. Professional removal costs 150,000 IDR.
Are volume lashes suitable for Bali beach holidays?
Yes, with appropriate care. Minimise prolonged submersion in salt water or pools, and pat rather than rub the eye area when drying your face. Many beach-goers find that lash extensions actually simplify their holiday routine by eliminating mascara entirely.
