Eyelash extensions are a cosmetic beauty treatment used to enhance the length, thickness, curl, and overall appearance of natural eyelashes. These extensions are typically made of synthetic materials or natural fibers, such as mink, silk, or human hair. They are applied to individual natural eyelashes using a specially formulated adhesive.

The process involves a trained technician carefully attaching each extension to a single natural lash. This creates a fuller, longer, and more defined lash line, eliminating the need for mascara or eyelash curlers. Eyelash extensions come in various lengths, thicknesses, and styles, allowing individuals to customize their look based on their preferences.

Eyelash extensions can last several weeks, depending on the natural lash growth cycle and aftercare practices. Regular touch-up appointments are recommended to maintain the desired look. They have become a popular choice for those seeking to achieve a glamorous and low-maintenance appearance for their lashes.

Classic Lash Set

Characteristics - Classic lashes involve attaching one individual lash extension to each natural lash. This creates a natural and subtle look by enhancing length and darkness.

Volume - Provides a natural enhancement, adding length and slight volume to your lashes.

Maintenance - Requires regular touch-ups to fill in gaps as your natural lashes shed.

Ideal for - Individuals who desire a more natural, everyday look.

Hybrid Lash Set

Characteristics - Hybrid lashes combine classic and volume lash techniques. They involve a mix of individual lash extensions and multiple thinner extensions (fans) applied to a single natural lash.

Volume - Offers a moderate increase in both length and volume for a textured look.

Maintenance - Requires regular touch-ups to maintain the textured appearance.

Ideal for - Those who want a blend of natural and slightly dramatic lashes.

Volume Lash Set

Characteristics - Volume lashes involve applying multiple thin lash extensions (fans) to a single natural lash. This technique creates a fuller and more voluminous look.

Volume - Provides a significant increase in both length and volume for a more dramatic appearance.

Maintenance - Requires regular touch-ups to maintain the fullness and shape.

Ideal for - Individuals seeking a glamorous and noticeable lash enhancement.

Mega-Volume Lash Set

Characteristics - Mega-volume lashes use even thinner lash extensions to create dense, intense volume. They involve applying super-fine lash fans to a single natural lash.

Volume - Offers the maximum increase in volume and density for a striking, bold look.

Maintenance - Requires frequent touch-ups to sustain the bold, mega-volume effect.

Ideal for - Those who desire a high-impact, dramatic lash appearance, often chosen for special occasions or events.

The choice between these lash sets depends on your personal style, preferences, and the level of drama you want to achieve. It's essential to consult with a qualified lash technician who can assess your natural lashes and recommend the most suitable lash set for your desired look and maintenance routine.

We refrain from employing a strict "lash counting" approach, as we understand that every individual and eye is distinct. Instead, we tailor our lash extensions to match your desired look, adding as many lashes as necessary to achieve your desired appearance. Our diverse range of lash set options includes Classic, Hybrid, and Volume, allowing you to choose the style that best suits your preferences.

A lash lift, also known as a "lash perm," is a beauty treatment designed to enhance the appearance of natural eyelashes. It aims to give your lashes a longer, lifted, and more curled look without the need for eyelash extensions or daily use of an eyelash curler.

Lash lifts done at Athena's Beauty typically last 6-8 weeks with proper care.

Honey Wax

Ingredients - Honey wax is primarily made from honey, sugar, and lemon juice.

Sugar Wax

Ingredients - Sugar wax, also known as sugaring paste, is made from sugar, water, and lemon juice or vinegar.

Consistency - Sugar wax has a thicker, paste-like consistency compared to honey wax.

Application - It is applied slightly warmed and is spread onto the skin against the direction of hair growth. It is then flicked off in the direction of hair growth using a cloth strip.

Cocoa Wax

Ingredients - Cocoa wax, also called chocolate wax, is made from cocoa extract, sugar, and water.
