Hybrid eyelash extensions melbourne
What are hybrid lash extensions?
A hybrid eyelash extension set offers a beautiful blend of classic and Russian volume lashes, combining the simplicity of individual classic lashes with the fullness and dimension of volume fans. This mix delivers textured, voluminous lashes fuller than a classic set of eyelash extensions but lighter than full Russian volume lash extensions.
It’s perfect for clients who want to balance a natural look and a more textured look. This hybrid style allows you to achieve a custom, versatile lash look that enhances your natural lashes while still adding depth and dimension.
The Difference between classic and hybrid lashes
Classic lash extensions involve attaching one single lash to one natural lash, creating a more understated, everyday look. Hybrid extensions combine classic and volume lashes, so you get the best of both worlds—length from classic lashes and fullness from volume fans (2D, 3D, 4D, etc.).
The key to a hybrid set is its artistry: I combine individual lashes and hand-crafted volume lash fans to create a textured, staggered look that complements each client’s eye shape.
Want a wispy, Kardashian inspired look or a fuller, more natural finish? Hybrid lashes are versatile and can be tailored to create your dream look.
How We Create the Perfect Set of Lashes at Hello Beautiful
As an experienced lash technician, I precisely balance classic lashes with volume eyelashes to match your preferred look. If you prefer a wispy look, I’ll use fewer fans. For clients wanting a denser, fuller lash line, more fans will be added.
Unlike studios that use premade volume fans, we handcraft each fan during the lash application to ensure a better bond and a more elegant result with no glue build-up.
The entire process involves using fine tweezers to apply each lash directly to your natural eyelashes in a ratio that delivers stunning, natural-looking results.
At our Melbourne studio, we specialise in creating custom hybrid lash sets that flatter your eyes, enhance your natural beauty, and retain a natural eyelash feel.
How to Care for Your Hybrid Eyelash Extensions
Aftercare is important to keep your lashes fuller for longer. All you need to do is:
- Avoid water for 5 hours after your lash appointment.
- Avoid oil-based products, including makeup removers, as oil can weaken the lash adhesive, causing premature shedding.
- Clean your lashes daily (after the first 5 hours) using a gentle lash shampoo. This will help remove oils, makeup, and dirt that can degrade the adhesive.
Additional factors can affect retention, such as skin type, hormonal changes (menopause and pregnancy), and medications. Clients with oily skin may experience faster shedding, so maintaining your lash routine is essential.
What Sets Hybrid Lashes Apart?
Hybrid lashes are one of our most popular styles because they offer a customised look tailored to each client’s natural lashes and eye shape. Whether you’re looking for something more natural or a bit more dramatic, hybrid lash extensions are the perfect choice.
They’re particularly great for clients with sparse lashes since the volume lash fans fill in gaps, whereas the classic lashes define length while maintaining a natural appearance. Hybrid lashes are also an excellent starting choice for anyone new to eyelash extensions, as they offer more flexibility in customising your desired lash look.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear mascara with my hybrid lash extensions?
It is not recommended to wear mascara with hybrid lash extensions. Mascara can cause buildup, cause fans to clump together, and lead to early shedding.
How long does a full set of hybrid lash extensions take to apply?
A full set of hybrid extensions typically takes longer than a classic set but less time than a volume extension set. Allow around 2 hours for your appointment.
Can I go for volume extensions later if I start with a hybrid set?
Absolutely! Since hybrid extensions combine classic and volume lashes, you can always transition to a fuller volume look later by adding more volume fans. It is much easier to add more than to try to remove a Russian volume set.
