Why you don’t have to do classic, volume or hybrid lash extensions
Fun fact, I do not do classic, hybrid or volume lash extensions, and I haven’t since 2019.
WOAH MADDI, what are you talking about?! How did you build such a successful lash business without doing the 3 most standard lash styles?
I do something better. I have the ideal lash menu. And I have had absolutely 0 issues with it in the almost 5 years since scratching classic, hybrid and even volume from my menu.
My lash menu includes Angel Sets, which are natural “classic looking” sets using 0.03 or 0.02 diameter lashes made into small closed groups, as well as all variations of lash looks using these lightweight diameters. I do full, fluffy mega volume looks, wispy looks, natural short looks, strip lash looks, etc.
I can do every lash look under the sun, all maps, all shapes, all trendy styles, using the lightest lashes on the market so my clients never have to worry about damage or discomfort.
This is the simplest way to structure your menu, have a full set price and a fill price. Every style is offered for the same price, this is a more high end way to go about pricing your services. The cost of product between each style is actually fairly minimal and I factor it into the price.
My menu looks like this-
Full Set ($350)
Fill ($180)
Extended Fill ($210)
Here’s the amazing news. When you are a lash artist, you don’t have to do what everyone else is doing. I had my first few trainers tell me I HAD to offer classic, hybrid, volume and mega to be successful, so that I had something for everyone. The truth is, times have evolved and if you can create ANY look using lighter lashes, you’ll attract a higher paying clientele that is happy to pay more because you can offer more comfortable lashes that FEEL and LOOK better as they grow out between fills.
My clients also feel comfortable asking to switch up their lash look without the awkward conversation about price difference between styles. They can freely transition from angel lashes, to mega volume, to brown lashes, to a spikey set and everything in between and their total will stay the same because I want them to get exactly what they want every time. I simply am charging based on my skill, expertise and client experience.
Hope this was helpful!
