- Lash Material
- Synthetic Lashes: Usually the most affordable option, these are made from acrylic materials. They are suitable for those who want a more dramatic look but are on a budget. A full set of synthetic lash extensions may cost around $120 - $200.
- Silk Lashes: These are shinier than mink lashes but less natural-looking. They are more expensive than synthetic lashes. A full set might cost between $150 - $250.
- Mink Lashes: Real mink lashes are the most natural-looking but also the most expensive, often costing $300 - $500 or more for a full set. Faux mink lashes, which mimic the look and feel of real mink, are priced similarly to silk lashes, usually in the range of $150 - $250.
- Lash Style
- Classic Full Set: In a classic application, 80 - 120 lashes are typically applied, lasting about 1.45 hours on average. The price for a classic full set is around $160.
- Volume Full Set: For a more glamorous look, 2 - 5 lashes are applied per natural lash. This style is more time-consuming and thus more expensive, with an average cost of $230.
- Hybrid Full Set: A combination of classic and volume lash extensions, offering a moderate level of drama. It usually costs around $200.
- Technician's Experience: More experienced and skilled technicians often charge higher fees. Their work may be more precise, resulting in a better-looking and longer-lasting lash application. Technicians with less experience may offer lower prices but the quality and durability might be different.
- Salon Location: Salons in large cities or upscale areas tend to have higher prices. In big cities like New York or Los Angeles, you might pay on the higher end of the price range. In smaller towns or less affluent areas, the cost is likely to be lower.
- Salon Reputation: High-end salons that use top-quality products, offer a luxurious environment, and have a good reputation usually charge more for their services.
- Lash Refills: To maintain the fullness of the lashes, refills are usually needed every 1 - 3 weeks. The cost for a lash refill is typically $30 - $100.
- Lash Removal: Professional lash removal can cost $25 - $50.
