Ever dreamt of having those large, fluffy feathery lashes that appear as though they were kissed by an angel, then you have probably witnessed Russian volume extensions in action. As a lash artist who went a little insane over the last few years working to perfect this process, I am here to tell you why these are the holy grail of lash enhancements.
Why Every Client Wants Russian Lashes
Add to that 4-6 whisper-thin extensions (thinner than a hair of silk) hand made into delicate little fans and applied to each one of your natural lashes. The result? Lashes so full they should be cast in a mascara ad, but as lightweight as though your clients are wearing nothing at all.
What makes them special?
Customizable drama — Want a “my lashes but better” look or full-on red carpet glam? We can go 2D for subtlety or 6D for the wow factor
Works on thin lashes - I’ve had clients with non-existent lashes cry happy tears when they see their new fringe.
4-6 week wear - with proper care (details on that in an included how to guide), you can keep these babies on through everything but your significant other!
It's Magic: Application Secrets
After clean and separate, the best part begins:
Fan making - I hand make over 300+ perfect little fans per eye using Russian volume tweezers (yes this does take FOREVER, but its worth it!
Accurate placement - Every single fan is dipped in medical-grade adhesive and adhered to one natural lash at the perfect angle
The big finale - When the clients open their eyes and gasp? Pure gold
Pro tip: I offer lash pillows and blankets in my studio because let’s be honest – you’ll sleep through this 2.5 hours of pampering.
Aftercare Made Simple

Why I'm Obsessed
This tens of thousands of sets in, and Russian volumew are my favourite because:
• They work on EVERY eye shape (hooded? monolids? deep set? No problem
• Grown adults can’t stop themselves from taking selfies
• That “I woke up like this” vibe is so much better than strip lashes
