How to Choose the Right Eyelash Extensions for You at Glamrūm in Chicago?

Long, luscious lashes that flutter with every wink – no wonder eyelash extensions have become a beauty staple. But with many styles, lengths, and thicknesses available, navigating the world of extensions can feel overwhelming. Worry not, Chicago beauties!

This guide will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to choose the perfect eyelash extensions for your unique eyes and desired look, all at Glamrūm, your haven for modern beauty in the heart of Lakeview and Lincoln Park.

Step 1: Understanding Your Natural Lashes

Knowing your natural lashes is key before diving into the glamorous world of extensions. Take a good look in the mirror – are they sparse or full? Short or long? Straight or curved? These factors will play a crucial role in selecting the right extensions.

Sparse or fine lashes: Opt for a soft volume or angel lashes, where really thin (.03mm) 3D lash extensions fans are bonded to each natural lash. This adds subtle volume and length without overwhelming your delicate lashes.
Full lashes: You can rock a bolder look! Consider a hybrid set that combine classic and volume lashes for a fuller, fluffier effect.
Short lashes: Extensions 2-3mm longer than your natural lashes will give you a noticeable lift without looking unnatural.
Long lashes: Lucky you! You have more freedom to play with different lengths and textures. Experiment with volume or mega volume sets for added drama.
Straight lashes: An L or M curl will provide a beautiful lift and open your eyes.

Step 2: Consulting the Glamrūm Experts

While understanding your natural lashes is crucial, a professional consultation with one of our expert lash artists at Glamrūm is invaluable. They’ll assess your lashes, discuss your desired look, and recommend the perfect extension style and length for your unique needs.

Step 3: Deciphering the Eyelash Extension Dictionary

Now, let’s get technical! Here’s a breakdown of key terms you’ll encounter in the world of extensions:

Classic lashes: One extension is applied to each natural lash for a natural, enhanced look.
Volume lashes: Multiple, lighter extensions fanned out and bonded to one natural lash for a fuller look.
Hybrid lashes: A combination of classic and volume lashes for a customizable level of fullness and that natural, wispy look.
Angel lashes: Creates a soft, fluttery look with the use of lighter, fine lashes applied in a way that creates a more natural, wispy appearance.
Mega volume: Specialty lashes are used to create super luscious volume, without weighing down or damaging your natural lashes. Adds 10-15 lashes per natural lash.
Lash curls: J curl (subtle lift), C curl (natural-looking lift), D curl (dramatic lift), L curl (extreme lift).
Lash thicknesses: 0.03mm (ultra-fine), 0.05mm (natural), 0.07mm (voluminous), 0.10mm (dramatic).
Mink lashes: Soft, luxurious, but ethically controversial.
Silk lashes: Shiny, lightweight, and famous for sensitive eyes.
Faux Mink lashes: Durable, and come in various textures and colours.
