Types of Lash Extensions We Offer
Classic Lash Extensions
Classic lashes are the most natural-looking extension option. One synthetic fibre is applied to each of your natural lashes using semi-permanent adhesive. The result looks like you're wearing perfect mascara every day — defined, lengthened, and subtly enhanced without looking "done." Classic lashes are ideal for first-timers or anyone who wants a low-maintenance, everyday look.
Hybrid Lash Extensions
Hybrid lashes combine classic and volume techniques in one set. Some lashes receive a single extension (classic), while others receive a handmade fan of 2-3 fibres (volume). This creates a textured, multidimensional look — fuller than classic but more natural than full volume. Hybrid lashes are our most popular choice for clients who want noticeable fullness without going fully dramatic.
Volume Lash Extensions
Volume lashes involve applying a handmade fan of 2-6 ultra-fine fibres to each natural lash. Despite using multiple fibres, volume fans weigh less than a single classic extension because the individual fibres are much thinner. The result is a fluffy, full, glamorous look with incredible density. Volume lashes suit clients who want their eyes to be a focal point.
Russian Volume Lashes
Russian volume is a specific technique where extremely fine fibres (0.03-0.05mm) are fanned in the hand and applied to each natural lash. The fans typically contain 3-8 fibres, creating an ultra-dense, ultra-dramatic look. Russian volume requires significant skill and training — the fans must be perfectly symmetrical and lightweight to avoid damaging the natural lash. At COSMO, our technicians are fully trained in Russian volume application.
Wispy Lash Extensions
Wispy lashes combine different lengths and curl types within the same set to create an intentionally varied, textured look. Some lashes are longer "spikes" while others fill the gaps with shorter, denser fans. The result mimics the look of wispy, naturally long lashes with a slightly undone quality. Think editorial, effortless, and modern.
Mega Volume Lashes
Mega volume takes the volume technique to the extreme — fans of 8-16 ultra-fine fibres are applied to each natural lash. This creates the most dramatic, dense, full look possible. Mega volume is popular for special occasions, photoshoots, and clients who want maximum impact. The fibres used are the thinnest available (0.03mm) to keep the weight manageable despite the density.
UV Beamlight Lashes
UV beamlight lashes feature fibres that glow under UV/blacklight — perfect for festivals, nights out, and events with UV lighting. Available in various neon colours. They look like normal black or coloured lashes in daylight but come alive under UV. A fun, creative option for special occasions.
Fluffy Classic Lashes
Fluffy classics bridge the gap between classic and hybrid. Using slightly thicker classic fibres with varied curls and lengths, they create a softer, fluffier version of the classic look without the precision of volume fanning. Ideal for clients who want more than classic but aren't ready for hybrid.
Lash Infills
Natural lashes shed on a cycle of 6-8 weeks. As they shed, they take the extensions with them — which is why infills are needed every 2-3 weeks to maintain a full, even look. At your infill appointment, we remove any grown-out or twisted extensions, clean the lash line, and apply fresh extensions to the new growth.
- 2-week infill: Maintains maximum fullness. Recommended for volume and Russian sets.
- 3-week infill: Still looks full but some gaps may appear. Fine for classic and hybrid sets.
- Beyond 3 weeks: If more than 50% of extensions have shed, a full set is needed rather than an infill.

Aftercare
Good aftercare is what separates lashes that last 2 weeks from lashes that last 3+. Here's what we advise:
- Keep lashes dry for the first 24-48 hours after application
- Avoid oil-based products near the eyes (oil breaks down lash adhesive)
- Don't rub your eyes or pull at extensions
- Brush through gently with a clean spoolie each morning
- Avoid steam, saunas, and swimming for 48 hours after application
- Sleep on your back or side — avoid face-down sleeping
Lash Lift & Tint (Extension-Free Option)
Not everyone wants extensions. A lash lift curls your natural lashes from the root using a perming solution, while a tint darkens them — giving the appearance of curled, mascara-coated lashes without any fibres applied. Results last 6-8 weeks with zero maintenance. This is a great option for holidays, low-maintenance clients, or anyone who wants a break between extension sets.

Lash Extensions FAQ
Where can I get lash extensions in Milton Keynes?
COSMO beauty salon in Fenny Stratford, Milton Keynes offers professional lash extensions including classic, hybrid, volume, Russian, wispy, mega volume, UV beamlight, and fluffy classic sets. Full sets start from £45 with infills from £30. Book on Booksy or contact via Instagram @_officialcosmo.
What is the difference between classic and volume lash extensions?
Classic lash extensions apply one synthetic fibre to each natural lash, giving a natural mascara-like enhancement. Volume lashes apply a handmade fan of 2-6 ultra-fine fibres to each natural lash, creating a fuller, denser, more dramatic look. Volume fans are lighter than a single classic fibre because each individual strand is much thinner. Hybrid combines both techniques in one set.
How long do lash extensions last?
Lash extensions last as long as your natural lash cycle — typically 6-8 weeks for a full shed. However, you'll start to notice gaps after 2-3 weeks as individual natural lashes shed and take their extensions with them. Most clients book infills every 2-3 weeks to maintain a full, even look throughout the cycle.
Do lash extensions damage your natural lashes?
When applied correctly by a trained technician, lash extensions should not damage your natural lashes. The key is proper isolation (each extension on one natural lash only), appropriate weight (not too heavy for the natural lash), and quality adhesive. At COSMO, our technicians assess your natural lash health before every appointment and recommend appropriate thickness and length.
What type of lash extensions should I get?
It depends on the look you want: Classic for natural enhancement (like wearing mascara), hybrid for textured fullness, volume for glamorous density, and mega volume for maximum drama. If you're unsure, hybrid is the most popular first-time choice — it gives noticeable results without being overly dramatic. Your technician at COSMO will recommend based on your eye shape and natural lash strength.
How much do lash extensions cost in Milton Keynes?
At COSMO Milton Keynes, classic full sets start from £45, hybrid from £57, volume from £67, and mega volume from £75. Infills start from £30 (2-week) and £38 (3-week). Lash lift and tint is available from £35 as an extension-free alternative. All prices are competitive for the Milton Keynes area.
Can I wear mascara with lash extensions?
We don't recommend it. Mascara can clog the base of extensions, break down the adhesive bond, and make infill appointments harder. The whole point of extensions is to wake up looking like you're wearing perfect mascara without needing it. If you want more impact on a night out, ask for a more dramatic set rather than adding mascara on top.
How long does a full set of lash extensions take to apply?
A full set typically takes 1.5-2.5 hours depending on the style. Classic sets are fastest (around 1.5 hours), while Russian volume and mega volume can take up to 2.5 hours due to the precision of handmade fanning. Infills are quicker — usually 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on how many extensions need replacing.
What are wispy lash extensions?
Wispy lashes use varied lengths and thicknesses within the same set to create a textured, slightly undone look. Some lashes are longer "spikes" while others are shorter and denser, mimicking the natural variation of very long, naturally thick lashes. The result is editorial and modern — less uniform than traditional sets.
What is a lash lift and how is it different from extensions?
A lash lift is a semi-permanent curling treatment for your natural lashes — no synthetic fibres are added. A perming solution lifts and curls your lashes from the root, and a tint darkens them. It looks like perfectly curled, mascara-coated natural lashes. Results last 6-8 weeks with zero maintenance. It's ideal for clients who want low-maintenance enhancement or a break between extension sets.
