Lash Lift or Extensions?
A lash lift makes the most of the lashes you already have: curl and tint, nothing attached, nothing to maintain at home, and it holds about a month. Extensions add length and density you do not have — a classic set takes about two hours and needs a fill every two weeks. Lift and tint is $150 ($120 with membership or on a first visit); a classic set is $170 ($149 with membership).
These two services get compared as if they were rivals. They are answers to different questions: one improves the lashes you have, the other adds lashes you do not.
What a lash lift actually does
A lift curls your natural lashes from the base and holds that curl; the tint darkens them so they read as longer without mascara. Nothing is attached and nothing is pulled off afterwards, which is why there is no damage question to answer and no home routine to keep up.
It holds for about a month — the length of your own lash growth cycle.

What extensions do that a lift cannot
Extensions add length and density. A classic full set takes about two hours, and the look lasts as long as you keep filling it: every two weeks for most clients. Leave it to three and the fill takes longer and costs more, because there is more to rebuild.
Maintenance, honestly
A lift asks nothing of you at home beyond keeping lashes dry for the first 24 hours. Extensions ask for more: no water for the first day, no oil-based skincare near the lash line, and a standing fortnightly appointment.
That difference — not the price of the first visit — is what most clients end up choosing on.
Prices at ANNAZUR
Lash lift and tint is $150, or $120 with a membership and on a first visit. A classic full set is $170 ($149 with membership), hybrid $230 ($190) and volume $350 ($239), with fills priced separately by volume and interval. Lash tint alone is $35 and removal is $35.
Who should pick which
If your lashes are a decent length and you want them to look awake without daily mascara, take the lift. If you want obvious length and you are happy with an appointment every two weeks, take extensions. If you are unsure, book the consultation and say so — nobody here talks a lift client into a volume set.
The honest trade-off.
- Lift: curl plus tint on your own lashes. Nothing is glued on, nothing is pulled off, and there is no home routine.
- Extensions: length and volume your own lashes cannot give you — and a standing appointment every two weeks.
- Upkeep: a lift needs one repeat a month; extensions need a fill fortnightly to keep the line full.
- Cost over a year: the lift is the cheaper habit; extensions are the bigger look. Both are legitimate choices.

Which is better for short lashes?
Extensions, if you want visible length. A lift lifts and darkens what is there — it cannot add what is missing.
Will either damage my natural lashes?
A lift attaches nothing and pulls nothing. Extensions are safe when the weight and length suit your own lashes — damage comes from sets that are too heavy or from pulling them off at home, which is why removal is a $35 service.
How much maintenance is honest maintenance?
A lift: nothing at home, one repeat a month. Extensions: no water for the first 24 hours, no oil-based skincare near the lash line, and a fill every two weeks.
Can I have both?
Not on the same lashes at the same time. Many clients alternate — extensions for an event season, a lift for the rest of the year.
What do they cost?
Lash lift and tint $150 ($120 with membership or first visit). Classic set $170 ($149), hybrid $230 ($190), volume $350 ($239), with fills priced separately.
