You know the feeling—you wake up, look in the mirror, and your lashes say “meh.” Where did the drama go? Where’s the flutter? WHERE is the fabulous?!
Whether you’re a lash extension newbie or a seasoned flutter queen, understanding the difference between lash fills and full sets is key to keeping your lash game strong, fierce, and fabulous. And here at Lashology, we’re breaking it down for you like your glam squad bestie with a lash wand in one hand and a caffeine-free latte in the other.
First Things First: What’s a Full Set?
A full set is the grand lash entrance. It's what you book when:
- You're brand new to extensions
- You’ve taken a break and your lash line is bare
- You’re switching up your style (hello, mega volume!)
- You had a DIY disaster and need a total lash resurrection (no judgment, we’ve seen it all)
During a full set, we apply individual extensions to nearly every healthy, natural lash—yes, all of them. The result? Va-va-voom volume, luscious length, and lashes so dreamy people will ask what mascara you use (spoiler: you don’t need any).
So... What’s a Lash Fill?
Think of lash fills as the lash maintenance spa day.
You naturally shed lashes every day (somewhere between 1–5 a day—RIP little guys). After 2–3 weeks, you’ll notice gaps, unevenness, and maybe even some wonky wonkiness. A fill is our chance to:
- Remove outgrown or twisted extensions
- Replace any lost lashes
- Fluff, freshen, and finesse your look
You’ll walk out looking like you just got a full set... without spending the full-set time or full-set dollars. Pretty magical, right?
Still Confused? Let’s Break It Down
| Feature | Full Set | Lash Fill |
|---|---|---|
| When to Book | First time, major lash loss | Every 2–3 weeks for upkeep |
| Time Needed | 90–120 minutes | 45–60 minutes |
| Cost | $$$ (worth it) | $$ (maintenance-friendly) |
| Goal | Full-on flutter transformation | Touch-up to maintain the glam |
So... Which One Do You Need?
If you’re batting naked lashes, or it's been more than 4 weeks since your last visit, you’re due for a full set.
If you’re rocking 50% or more of your extensions and you’re just starting to notice some gaps? Come in for a fill, and we’ll get you back to max flutter mode in no time.
(And no, stacking falsies over your week-old extensions is not the same thing. Step away from the drugstore glue. We beg you.)
