The cost of applying false eyelashes can vary significantly based on factors like the type of false eyelashes, the quality of the products used, and the service provider. Here is a breakdown:
- Single-use False Eyelashes for Self-application
- Ordinary Quality: Usually, a pair of single-use false eyelashes of ordinary quality costs between $2 and $10. The glue needed to apply them typically costs around $3 to $8 per tube. Overall, the cost for a single application, including the false eyelashes and glue, is about $5 to $18.
- Higher Quality: High-quality single-use false eyelashes, such as those made from better synthetic materials or natural fibers, can cost $10 to $30 per pair. The corresponding glue might be in the range of $8 to $15 per tube. So, the total cost for a single application could be $18 to $45.
- Semi-permanent False Eyelashes at a Beauty Salon
- Basic Synthetic Fiber: Semi-permanent false eyelashes made of basic synthetic fibers generally cost $30 to $60 for a full set. The durability is relatively short, usually lasting about 2 to 3 weeks.
- Mid-range Synthetic Fiber: Mid-range synthetic semi-permanent false eyelashes might cost $60 to $100. They often have a more natural look and can last around 3 to 4 weeks.
- Natural Fiber (e.g., Mink Hair): If you choose semi-permanent false eyelashes made of natural fibers like mink hair, the price can range from $100 to $300 or even higher. These offer a very natural and soft look and can last 4 to 6 weeks with proper care.
- Location: In big cities or areas with a high cost of living, the price of applying false eyelashes, especially in professional beauty salons, is likely to be higher. For example, in New York or London, you may pay 20% to 50% more than in smaller towns or less developed regions.
- Salon Reputation and Service: Renowned beauty salons with experienced technicians usually charge more. They may offer additional services like eyelash care consultations and aftercare products, which also contribute to the higher cost.
