Classic vs Hybrid vs Volume Lashes: Which Is Right for You?

Choosing the right eyelash extensions can completely elevate your look — and your confidence. At BLINK – The iBrow Boutique, we believe the best lashes are the ones that suit you: your eye shape, lifestyle, and personal style.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering “Should I go Classic or Hybrid?” or “Are Volume lashes too dramatic for everyday wear?”, you’re not alone. With so many options available, it can feel confusing. This guide will walk you through the differences between Classic, Hybrid, and Volume lashes so you can confidently choose the perfect set.

What Are Eyelash Extensions?

Eyelash extensions are individually applied fibres that are bonded to your natural lashes to enhance length, curl, and fullness. Every lash set at BLINK Mount Gravatt is customised to ensure a flattering result while protecting the health of your natural lashes.

Classic Lashes: Natural & Timeless

Classic lashes are ideal for those who love a soft, natural look.

How they’re applied:One extension is applied to one natural lash (1:1 ratio).

The result:A clean, polished finish that looks like naturally long lashes or freshly applied mascara.

Best for:Clients with naturally full lashes who want an effortless, everyday enhancement.

Hybrid Lashes: Soft, Wispy & Balanced

Hybrid lashes are the perfect in-between option and one of the most popular choices at BLINK – The iBrow Boutique.

How they’re applied:A customised mix of Classic lashes and handmade Volume fans.

The result:A textured, wispy look that adds fullness without being too bold — perfect for both work and special occasions.

Best for:Clients with sparse or uneven lashes who want more fullness than Classic lashes can provide.

Volume & Mega Volume Lashes: Bold & Glamorous

Volume lashes are designed for those who love a fuller, more dramatic lash line.

How they’re applied:Handmade fans of 2–6 ultra-fine lashes are applied to one natural lash, creating density while remaining lightweight.

The result:Dark, fluffy, high-impact lashes with a glamorous finish.

Best for:Special events, weddings, holidays, or anyone who loves a bold, full-glam look every day.

How to Choose the Right Lash Style

When deciding between Classic, Hybrid, or Volume lashes, consider:

• Your natural lash density

• Your daily routine and maintenance preference

• Whether you prefer a natural or dramatic look

If you’re unsure, our experienced lash artists at BLINK Mount Gravatt will guide you during your consultation and recommend the best option for your eyes.
