Eyelash extensions are a great way to enhance the natural beauty of your eyes. They add length, volume, and definition to your lashes, making them look longer and fuller. But like any other beauty service, they require regular maintenance in order to keep them looking their best. That’s where eyelash extension refills come in! Lash fills are an important part of keeping your lash extensions looking beautiful and lasting longer. In this article we will explain what lash fills are, the difference between a full set and a full refill, when you should get one done, how much it costs, how long it lasts for and how long it takes to get done.
What is a lash fill?
A lash fill is a type of service that involves refreshing or replacing existing eyelash extensions with new ones. The process usually involves removing old extensions from the natural lashes using tweezers or glue remover before applying new ones. This technique is taught in all lash tech classes. This can be done as often as every 2-4 weeks depending on the growth cycle of your natural lashes. It’s important to note that refills are not intended for adding extra volume or length; they are simply meant for maintaining what you already have so that your lashes look their best at all times!
The difference between a full set and a full refill
The main difference between getting a full set of eyelash extensions compared to just getting a fill is that with a full set you start from scratch – meaning no previous lash work has been done on those particular natural lashes before the appointment time. A full refill on the other hand would involve taking off any remaining lash extensions from previous appointments (if any) before applying new ones which gives more control over the end result since you know exactly what kind of look you want beforehand instead of starting completely fresh each time like with a full set. Additionally if you’ve had classic or mega volume lashes applied previously then it might be necessary to switch up styles during refills such as switching from classic/mega volume style applications into something more suitable such as hybrid/mega fill applications due to changes in the health/growth cycle of those particular natural lashes since last appointment time (this can also apply vice versa).
When do I need an eyelash extension filling ?
It’s recommended that clients receive eyelash extension refills every 2-4 weeks depending on individual growth cycles but typically 3 weeks is most common interval for people who wear them regularly because this allows enough time for newly grown hairs to reach maturity without waiting too long (which may lead too many shed hairs being replaced). Refilling too often however can cause damage over time due to constant manipulation so its important not go overboard with scheduling refills! Additionally there may be certain circumstances where clients require earlier than usual refills such as having thickening solutions applied during previous appointments which accelerates growth rate so these individuals should schedule accordingly accordingly if needed.

Refill are for maintenance only
It’s important not to forget that although lash fills provide an opportunity to maintain desired results, they cannot create additional length/volume beyond what was initially applied during the initial session. In other words, no amount will magically turn classic sets into mega volumes, etc. If a client desires additional length/volume, then this must be discussed prior to the initial application, instead of relying solely upon regular top-ups to maintain desired results after the initial application has been completed successfully. Otherwise, disappointment may occur down the road due to unsatisfactory end results, even though the technician performed their job properly by following instructions given by the client beforehand.
How much does an eyelash extension fill cost?
The cost of an eyelash extension fill depends largely on several factors, including location, salon experience level, type of services being requested, etc. Generally speaking, however, most salons charge anywhere between $50-$100 per session, but prices could vary greatly depending upon specific salon policies and procedures. For example, some salons offer discounts if multiple sessions are booked upfront, while others offer loyalty programs which allow returning customers to access special rates, etc. Ultimately, it’s best to ask around different local salons to find out what works best budget-wise before committing to anything!
How long do lash fills last?
On average, lash fills typically last anywhere between 4-6 weeks provided proper care is taken afterwards and touch-ups are scheduled according to individual needs and growth cycles. However, it’s worth noting that some clients may need touch-ups sooner than others, while some may not need them until the 6-week mark due to variations in individual hair growth patterns and overall health status at any given point in time!
How long does it take to get my Lash Fill Done ?
Typically, most technicians take approximately 1 hour to complete a standard (classic) refill procedure from start to finish. Mega Volume applications tend to take slightly longer due to the intricate details involved in the process itself. Also, bear in mind that there could be slight delays when booking an appointment since many popular technicians book up quickly, so advance notice is required to ensure availability. Lastly, please make sure to arrive early for your scheduled appointment to avoid unnecessary wait times for both parties involved!
