Therefore it is important to trust the artist as consulting the right set to not overweight or stress the hair follicle to avoid damage.

Classic technique (1:1)
One single Extension is applied on every natural lash creating more subtle, defined look. We recommend this Set for medium to full natural lashes or simply if the “mascara” look is desired. With this set we can only go as full as the natural lash. ( ex. 80 natural lashes à 80 Eyelash extension applied).
Volume technique (2-6 lightweight lashes)
Multiple lightweight Extension are applied on every single natural lash. Russian volume allows us to create looks from light , medium to fuller or bolder.
This technique allows to add more density to the lash line, gives the soft so-called fluffy look and lets us do minor corrections if there are gaps in the lash line.
Russian Volume is suitable for all natural lashes and slightly last longer, simply because the lashes “wrap” around the natural lash. At Azzura Lashspa each volume fan is handcrafted to optimize Eyelash Extensions that are long lasting and healthy .
Hybrid technique ( 50/ 50)
With this set we apply 50% of the natural lash with the classic technique (1:1) and 50% with the volume technique ( 2D-4D) . This look will give you a fuller look than Classic and allows texture and slightly density.
** If you are unsure please know every new client will be consulted and we help choose/ recommend the right set for you.
