How much do eyelash extensions cost?
The average cost for a full set of eyelash extensions is $120 to $300, depending on the material, style, fullness level, and the salon's location and reputation. For a simple, clean look, classic eyelash extensions are typically the cheapest, costing $75 to $150+. Volume lash extensions cost the most at $170 to $350 for a fuller, bolder style. Hybrid extensions meet in the middle with a blend of classic and volume lashes ranging from $140 to $280+.
Lash extension refill and touch-up appointments cost $30 to $100.
Professional eyelash extension removal costs $25 to $50.
How long do eyelash extensions take?
Eyelash extensions take 1 to 4 hoursfor a full set or 30 to 90 minutes for a refill, depending on the type of lashes and the stylist's experience. Classic lashes are the quickest to apply and usually take under 2 hours while applying volume lashes can take up to 3 hours.
How long do eyelash extensions last?
Eyelash extensions last 3 to 4 weeks on average, depending on the growth rate and lifespan of your own lashes, as eyelash extensions are attached to your natural eyelashes. In general, about 20% of your lashes will complete their life cycle and fall out each week.
Follow these tips for longer-lasting eyelash extensions:
Sleep on your back at night.
Avoid getting the lashes wet for 24 to 48 hours after your appointment.
Avoid saunas or hot steam.
Brush your lashes if needed, but do not brush them if they are wet.
Avoid using oil-based creams near your eyelashes.
How should I prepare for my lash appointment?
To ensure the best results with your eyelash extension application:
Wash your eyes and face well with an oil-free cleanser or makeup remover.
Do not curl your lashes before your appointment.
Do not wear eye makeup or mascara to your appointment.

Reviews for Stamford eyelash extensions
Recent success stories from people in the Stamford area.

Katherine is tremendous in her craft. We hired Katherine as our Key Hair & Makeup artist for a feature film and we couldn’t have made a better selection. She is incredibly skilled in beautifying our talent as well as dousing them in blood to match continuity. Whether she is recreating a look from a different shoot day or making her own decisions, her work is always precise to detail and never disappoints. Katherine has proved to be a valuable asset to any job and accurately estimates her needed time for her work, allowing our production to maintain our schedule.
She is resilient and extremely knowledgable in how to best accomplish the objective/tone in hair, beauty, and special effects makeup. She asks story questions to better inform her final result, simultaneously educating our team about accuracy to job we are requesting (ie. how injuries time, progression of bruises, etc.). Katherine goes above and beyond to replicate realism, and quickly adapts to last-minute schedule adjustments.
Katherine is careful to protect her clients from illness by keeping her station sanitary and designating assets for specific people; she takes the extra step to inquire of potential allergies. She provides a friendly face and attitude with her subjects, allowing them to feel pampered in a safe place. In the event that you request a slight change/addition to her work, she is resilient to provide the exact intention and does so with an incredibly positive attitude.
Katherine is both a team player and an outstanding artist when working solo. She is a leader and forms plans with her team for efficiency, however handles larger jobs with incredible independence and confidence. On a single shoot day, Katherine managed two women’s hair and makeup, one man’s hair, and monitoring them plus an additional two actors for last looks in camera. Without her on set, we would not have been able to shoot everything we planned. She is an obvious hire.

I loved that she was so attentive to me on my wedding day! I was so stressed about it raining and she continued to tell me that the bigger blessing is that I’m marrying the love of my life. And honestly that really made me forget about the weather! Her service is amazing but it’s really her personality and spirit that would make me always want to hire her. She cares not just about the job but about her clients making sure they feel special.

I can’t say enough good things about Val. She did my makeup for my bridal shower and my wedding day and I felt so beautiful! Val is extremely talented and has a calming demeanor which makes her the perfect MUA. I highly recommend her to any bride or anyone who wants professional makeup done for an event!
