Lash & brow FAQ

We offer three styles: classic (one extension per lash for natural definition, $150), hybrid (a 50/50 mix of classic and handmade volume fans for transitioning, $185), and volume (3–6 handmade fans per lash for a full, dramatic look, $220). We never use pre-made fans, and every set includes a customized shape and consultation.

Eyelash extensions follow your natural lash growth cycle and last about 6 weeks before a full set fully cycles out. Most clients book a fill every 2 to 3 weeks to keep their set looking full and seamless.

No. Application is relaxing — most clients fall asleep. You lie down with your eyes closed while extensions are applied to your lashes, never to your skin. A proper set should never feel heavy, prickly, or painful.

Keep them clean and dry for the first few hours, then cleanse daily with a lash-safe foaming cleanser, brush them gently each morning, and avoid oil-based products around the eyes. Good aftercare is the single biggest factor in retention.

At Eye Charm Artistry, full sets are $150 (classic), $185 (hybrid), and $220 (volume). Fills run $85–$110 depending on style and are booked every 14–28 days. Clients transferring from another studio add $25.

Volume lash extensions use multiple ultra-fine fibers — handmade into a fan — applied to a single natural lash. The result is a soft, full, fluffy look with far more density than classic lashes, while staying lightweight and gentle on your own lashes.

A full set of volume lashes lasts the natural lash growth cycle of about 6 weeks. To keep them looking full, most clients book a fill every 2 to 3 weeks.

No. Because each fan is made from ultra-lightweight fibers and mapped to the weight your natural lash can support, properly applied volume lashes do not damage your natural lashes. Damage only occurs with oversized fans or poor application — which is exactly what a trained Russian-technique artist avoids.

At Eye Charm Artistry in Austin, a volume lash full set is $220 and takes about 3 hours 20 minutes. Volume fills are $110 (booked every 14–28 days). Every set includes a customized shape and consultation.

Choose classic lashes for a natural, mascara-like definition (one extension per natural lash). Choose volume lashes for a fuller, fluffier, more glamorous look (a handmade fan per natural lash). Hybrid blends both. Not sure? We'll recommend a style at your consultation.

Yes. Our volume sets use the Russian volume technique — handmade fans of 3–6 ultra-fine extensions per natural lash, built by hand on the spot at our Hyde Park, Austin studio (never pre-made). It's the same look people search for as 'Russian volume' or 'Russian lash extensions near me,' kept lightweight and customized to your eye shape. A Russian volume full set is $220.

A keratin lash lift is a semi-permanent treatment that curls your own natural lashes from the base, making them look longer and more open. The keratin conditions the lashes during the lift, and an optional tint adds darkness so you can skip mascara.

A keratin lash lift lasts about 6 to 8 weeks — roughly the natural lash growth cycle. As old lashes shed and new ones grow in, the curl gradually relaxes, at which point you can rebook.

A lash lift enhances your own lashes (curl + tint, no added fibers, the lowest maintenance). Extensions add length and volume with applied fibers for a more dramatic, customizable look that needs fills every 2–3 weeks. A lift is ideal if you have decent natural length and want an effortless, natural result.

At Eye Charm Artistry, a keratin lash lift is $115 and takes about 50 minutes. Add a lash tint for $30, or book the Lash Lift + Tint together for $135. There's a Lash & Brow Bundle (lift, brow lamination, plus lash and brow tint) for $280.

Yes, once the first 24–48 hours have passed. Many clients who add a tint skip mascara entirely. If you do use it, choose a non-waterproof formula to keep the lift looking its best.

Brow lamination is a semi-permanent treatment that relaxes and re-sets your brow hairs in a fuller, brushed-up shape — like a perm for your brows. It makes sparse or unruly brows look thicker, neater, and more defined, and lasts several weeks. At Eye Charm Artistry brow lamination is $125, or $145 with a tint.

At Eye Charm Artistry: brow lamination is $125, brow lamination + tint is $145, a brow tint is $30, and a brow wax or threading is $30. Prefer the works? The Lash & Brow Bundle (lash lift, brow lamination, plus lash and brow tint) is $280.

Brow tint typically lasts 3 to 5 weeks on the hairs and up to a week on the skin, gradually fading as your skin renews. Rebooking every few weeks keeps your brows looking their fullest.

Yes — alongside brow wax and threading we offer full-face waxing ($50), underarms ($30), lower leg ($50), full leg ($90), and Brazilian waxing (from $60). Threading is available with Samantha by request.

Classic lash extensions apply one artificial extension to each one of your natural lashes (a 1:1 ratio). The result is clean, natural definition — like a great coat of mascara that never smudges or comes off — making classic the most natural-looking lash style.

Yes. Classic lashes are the ideal first set: they add noticeable definition while still looking completely natural, they're the most affordable style, and they're easy to maintain. Many clients start with classic and move to hybrid or volume once they're hooked.

At Eye Charm Artistry, a classic full set is $150 and takes about 2 hours 15 minutes, including a customized shape and consultation. Classic fills are $85, booked every 14–28 days.

Classic sets follow your natural lash growth cycle and last about 6 weeks, looking fullest for the first 2–3 weeks. Book a fill every 14–28 days to keep them looking freshly done.

Classic uses one extension per natural lash for a natural, defined look. Volume uses a handmade fan of several ultra-fine extensions per lash for a fuller, fluffier, more dramatic look. Hybrid mixes both. Classic is the most natural and budget-friendly starting point.

A hybrid set mixes two techniques: about half your lashes get a single classic extension and half get a handmade volume fan. The blend creates texture and a fuller look than classic, while staying softer and more natural than a full volume set. At Eye Charm Artistry a hybrid full set is $185.

Hybrid is ideal if classic feels too subtle but full volume feels like too much — or if you're transitioning from classic to volume. It's also great for adding density to sparse areas while keeping a natural, textured finish.

A hybrid full set is $185 and takes about 2 hours 30 minutes, including a customized shape and consultation. Hybrid fills are $100, booked every 14–28 days. Transferring from another studio adds $25.

Hybrid is a 50/50 mix of classic and volume for natural texture ($185). Full volume uses 3–6 handmade fans on every lash for maximum fullness and drama ($220). If you want noticeable but still natural, choose hybrid; for bold and fluffy, choose volume.

The Lash & Brow Bundle at Eye Charm Artistry includes a keratin lash lift, brow lamination, and a lash and brow tint — your full eye frame done in one sitting. It lifts and darkens your natural lashes while shaping and filling your brows, all without extensions or daily makeup. The bundle is $280 in Hyde Park, Austin.

The Lash & Brow Bundle is $280 at Eye Charm Artistry in Hyde Park, Austin and takes about two hours. Booked separately, a keratin lash lift ($115), brow lamination ($125), and lash and brow tint ($30) would run around $320 — so the bundle saves you roughly $40. You can reserve it online anytime.

It's one of our favorite pre-wedding treatments. The Lash & Brow Bundle gives you lifted, tinted lashes and full, set brows that photograph beautifully and need zero touch-ups through a long day. We recommend booking 3 to 5 days before your event so everything settles perfectly — reserve early, as Austin wedding season fills up fast.

A Brazilian wax at Eye Charm Artistry in Hyde Park, Austin starts from $60. Pricing can vary slightly with hair length and regrowth, so we confirm everything before we begin. Ready to book? You can reserve your wax online anytime.

We offer full face ($50), underarms ($30), lower leg ($50), full leg ($90), and Brazilian waxing (from $60) at our Hyde Park, Austin studio. For brow waxing and threading specifically, see our brow services page. Threading is available with Samantha by request.

For the best results, let hair grow to about a quarter inch and gently exfoliate the day before — but skip exfoliating, retinols, and heavy lotions right before your appointment. Afterward, avoid hot tubs, saunas, and direct sun for 24 to 48 hours, and keep the area clean and moisturized. Our artists at Eye Charm Artistry in Austin will walk you through everything at your visit.

Professional lash extension removal at Eye Charm Artistry in Hyde Park, Austin is $50 and takes about 30 minutes. We use a gentle gel or cream remover that dissolves the adhesive without stressing your natural lashes. You can book removal on its own or before a new set.

We don't recommend it. Picking, pulling, or rubbing at extensions almost always takes your natural lashes with them and can leave gaps that take weeks to grow back. Professional removal at Eye Charm Artistry is $50 and dissolves the adhesive safely — far gentler than anything you can do at home.

Not always. If you're keeping the same style, we can often refresh with a fill instead. But if you're switching looks, have heavy grown-out extensions, or want a completely clean reset, a $50 removal first gives our artist the best canvas. We'll advise you at your consultation in Austin.

Volume or hybrid lashes are best for a wedding because they read full and defined in photos while staying lightweight and natural in person. At Eye Charm Artistry in Hyde Park, Austin, a volume full set is $220 and hybrid is $185, both with a customized shape and consultation. We map the style to your eye shape so you look like the best version of yourself on the day.
