At our Lash Salons we remain dedicated to genuine Russian Volume Techniques of meticulously hand-crafting each lash fan.
We frequently discuss the differences between Classic and Volume sets across our content. However, as the industry continues to expand in 2024, we increasingly find ourselves explaining the distinction held by the genuine Russian Volume we introduced in our business a decade ago over the now widely used pre-made fans.
1. Better Adhesion and Longevity
A key feature when you craft your lash fans custom to your client, at the appointment is that the fan can be precisely manipulated to wrap around the natural lash like a glove.
In comparison, pre-made fans are limited to surface-to-surface adhesion as by design, only one branch of the fan will be parallel to the client’s natural lash. This is visually demonstrated below. Superior 360-degree wrapping of handmade fans exponentially improves retention.
2. Fully Customised for Your Lashes
Lashes are not one-size-fits-all. Our lash artists will analyze your natural lashes and desired look, then custom create your full set using their Russian volume skills. They have an expansive range of extension types at their disposal – crafting fans from 2 to 8 lashes, in C, D, and J curls ranging from 7mm to 17mm lengths.
An artist restricted to pre-made fans would need over 240 different combinations to achieve this level of customization. Even for the most basic D Curl Lash Set – to be able to provide any combination a Lash Artist would need to have immediately available to them during your Lash Application the following 80 combinations.
| 7mm | 8mm | 9mm | 10mm | 11mm | 12mm | 13mm | 14mm | 15mm | 16mm | 17mm | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2D | 2D | 2D | 2D | 2D | 2D | 2D | 2D | 2D | 2D | 2D | 2D |
| 3D | 3D | 3D | 3D | 3D | 3D | 3D | 3D | 3D | 3D | 3D | 3D |
| 4D | 4D | 4D | 4D | 4D | 4D | 4D | 4D | 4D | 4D | 4D | 4D |
| 5D | 5D | 5D | 5D | 5D | 5D | 5D | 5D | 5D | 5D | 5D | 5D |
| 6D | 6D | 6D | 6D | 6D | 6D | 6D | 6D | 6D | 6D | 6D | 6D |
| 7D | 7D | 7D | 7D | 7D | 7D | 7D | 7D | 7D | 7D | 7D | 7D |
| 8D | 8D | 8D | 8D | 8D | 8D | 8D | 8D | 8D | 8D | 8D | 8D |
We can assure you that the average Lash Tech is not servicing clients with 80 individual trays of lashes within her immediate reach. Our lash artists do cover this entire breadth with just 10 trays, which they then use to hand create the fans in any dimension they wish. Although this is not acknowledged, if your Lash Artist is not creating Russian Volume by hand, inevitably the diversity and perfect styling of your lash set will be limited.
Our commitment to upholding the true Russian volume tradition allows us to provide unmatched retention, comfort and fully personalised, stunning results. You can rely on our artists’ advanced skills to elevate your natural beauty.
