Classic or Russian Volume Eyelash Extensions: Everything Technicians Need to Know
If you're considering offering Russian volume extensions to your clients, or if some are undecided between classic and volume lashes, here's everything you need to know to help them make the right choice. This guide offers the best advice to support your clients through this transition and maximize your expertise.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLASSIC AND RUSSIAN VOLUME?
Classic eyelash extensions involve applying a single extension to each natural lash, creating a refined and natural look. They are ideal for clients who want a subtle enhancement. Russian volume , on the other hand, involves applying several ultra-light extensions in clusters to each natural lash, creating a fuller and more intense effect. This technique is perfect for those who want a glamorous and full look.
WHY OFFER THE RUSSIAN VOLUME?
Russian Volume Lashes provide several distinct benefits:
- Increased Volume : Ideal for a bold look, these lashes give a full, eye-catching effect.
- Lightness : Despite the application of several extensions, the lightness of the eyelashes ensures optimal comfort for natural eyelashes.
- Customization : With Russian volume, the volume and length can be adjusted according to the client's preferences, ranging from subtle volume to mega-volume.
- Growing popularity : This technique is increasingly in demand, which can diversify your offers and build customer loyalty.
- Added value for your expertise : Mastering Russian volume sets you apart as a technician, which can justify higher rates.
How to Choose Your Russian Volume Box?
TRAINING IN RUSSIAN VOLUME
To master this advanced technique, it's essential to be trained to properly understand the appropriate weight and dimensions. A qualified technician will know how to choose the right thicknesses and lengths to avoid overloading and preserve the health of the client's natural lashes. Proper eyelash extension training not only ensures impeccable aesthetic results, but also the client's safety and comfort, while respecting the health of their natural lashes. Maison Regard offers Russian Volume training via e-learning to learn everything about this technique, with personalized support throughout your learning.
PREPARE YOUR CLIENTS WELL
For a smooth transition to Russian volume, prepare your clients for this new style and its specificities.
- Explain the differences : Show them the visual differences between classic lashes and Russian volume, using photos to illustrate the various effects.
- Set expectations : Listen to their wishes and make sure the desired look is achievable based on the density and health of their natural lashes.
- Importance of post-application care : Emphasize that aftercare is essential to maintain the volume and longevity of your extensions. Recommend the use of specific products like Maison Regard eyelash shampoo and cleansing brushes to avoid residue and prolong the life of your extensions.

Regular Maintenance : Volume lashes require regular refills, every 2 to 3 weeks, to maintain a flawless look.
A SMOOTH TRANSITION WITH HYBRID LASHES
For clients who are hesitant to adopt Russian volume, offer an alternative: hybrid lashes, a mix of classic and volume lashes. This solution will allow them to gradually discover a fuller look, while remaining natural.
Switching to Russian Volume Lashes is a great way to give your clients a full yet sophisticated look. By guiding your clients, perfecting your technique, and providing aftercare tips, you ensure their satisfaction and loyalty.
THE PREFACES:
Are you familiar with pre-made lash extensions? These are ready-to-use clusters of eyelash extensions, composed of several extensions glued together at the base to create a fan. They save time and allow for easy volume applications without the need for manual cluster creation techniques. Maison Regard's pre-made lash extensions are carefully designed to ensure quick application and a harmonious result. They are lightweight and offer optimal retention, thanks to their long stems specifically designed to grip the entire length of the natural lash. They allow lash technicians who don't want to spend too much time on services to achieve voluminous and elegant results while making their work easier.
