What Is It?
Classic eyelash extensions – water effect is a lash styling technique that combines the natural look of classic lashes with a unique, textured finish that mimics the appearance of lashes wet from water. In this method, a single extension is applied to each natural lash, maintaining the traditional “classic” approach. However, the lashes are strategically placed with varied lengths and curls to create a wispy, spiky, and dimensional look—resembling lashes fresh from a swim or shower.
This style is ideal for clients who want a subtle yet striking enhancement, offering a modern twist on traditional classic lashes without going into volume or mega-volume territory.
What Are the Benefits?
- Natural Yet Defined Look: Maintains the simplicity of classic lashes with added texture for a fresh, eye-catching finish.
- Lightweight and Comfortable: Single lashes are lighter on the eyes, making them ideal for everyday wear.
- Low Maintenance: Requires less upkeep compared to volume sets.
- Customizable: Length and curl variations can be tailored to suit different eye shapes and personal preferences.
- Versatile Aesthetic: The water effect offers a trendy, editorial appearance without looking overly dramatic.
What Is the Procedure?
The process in our salon in Javea begins with a consultation to determine the appropriate length, curl, and shape based on the client’s natural lashes and desired result. After cleaning the lashes and applying under-eye pads, the lash technician isolates each natural lash and applies a single extension using a medical-grade adhesive.
For the water effect, the technician alternates lash lengths and sometimes adds a few spikes or crisscrossed lashes to create a wet, textured look. The application requires precision and artistic technique to ensure even spacing and symmetry.
How Long Does It Take?
A full set of classic water effect eyelash extensions typically takes between 1.5 to 2.5 hours in our Javea location, depending on the number of natural lashes and the intricacy of the styling. Touch-up appointments or infills usually take about 45 to 60 minutes.
How Long Does It Last?
Classic water effect lash extensions can last between 4 to 6 weeks, but regular infills are recommended every 2 to 3 weeks to maintain fullness and shape. Longevity depends on the client’s lash growth cycle, aftercare, and lifestyle factors such as exposure to water, oil-based products, and rubbing of the eyes.
