Classic is one extension per lash, and volume is five or six.
Classic looks like mascara. Volume looks fuller, and softer than you might expect. Below is how our three sets compare, what happens in the chair, and how to make either one last.
What are lash extensions?
Eyelash extensions are the closest thing to waking up with your mascara already on. An extension is one fine lash glued to one of your own, one at a time. It sits on the lash, not on your eyelid, and it falls out when that natural lash does. Your own lashes shed a few every day, so a set thins out slowly over a few weeks.

The lash extension experience in Honolulu
Our lash extensions in Honolulu are done in the room at the back of the salon, on Level 2 of Ala Moana Center, on the bed under the round mirror. You lie down, close your eyes, and they stay closed until the set is finished. Every extension goes on by hand, so a full set takes a while. Ask how long yours will take when you call.
Pre-application tips
- Come with clean lashes: no mascara, eyeliner or eye cream.
- Skip the lash curler that day.
- Wear glasses instead of contacts if you can.
- Tell us about any allergies, sensitive eyes or recent eye surgery when you book.
Daily care and maintenance
For the first day, keep them dry: no swimming, steam, sauna or hot yoga. After that:
- Brush them every morning with a clean spoolie.
- Wash them gently with an oil-free cleanser, then pat dry.
- Keep oily makeup removers and eye creams away from them.
- Skip mascara, and never use waterproof.
- Don’t pick or pull. An extension pulled off takes your own lash with it.
- Eyelash extensions in Hawaii meet a lot of salt water. After the ocean or the pool, rinse them with fresh water.
As your lashes shed, a retouch fills the gaps. What it costs depends on how much is left:
- 40% or more still on
- A retouch
- Under 30% left
- Charged as a full set
- Inside the first week
- A retouch costs less than after two
Booking the next one before you leave is the easy way to stay ahead.
