The difference starts with the set
Classic extensions add one synthetic lash to each suitable natural lash. Hybrid combines classic individual lashes with volume fans to create more texture and fullness. Neither style is one fixed shape: the design is mapped to your eyes and preferred finish.
Choose classic if you are drawn to a defined effect similar to mascara. Consider hybrid if you want more fullness. A reference photograph helps explain your preference, but a set must still suit your own lashes.
A closer look at classic extensions
An existing classic extension pair from the studio portfolio. The hybrid option is explained below through its technique and pricing.
Full sets and fill prices
| Appointment | Classic | Hybrid |
|---|---|---|
| Full set | $130 CAD | $150 CAD |
| 1 week fill | $60 CAD | $70 CAD |
| 2 week fill | $70 CAD | $80 CAD |
| 3 week fill | $80 CAD | $90 CAD |
| 4 week fill | $90 CAD | $100 CAD |
These are Aura Beauty Atelier’s published lash prices. A 4 week fill price does not mean everyone can wait four weeks. Remaining extensions and their condition determine whether a fill is suitable. Confirm your final total when booking. Removal is listed separately at $30 CAD.
Choose around your lashes and your routine
- Your preferred finish: bring examples of subtle definition or fuller texture.
- Your starting lashes: length and density affect the result. Heavier or longer is not automatically better.
- Your schedule: plan regular fills, usually every 2 to 3 weeks.
- Existing extensions: let the studio know if another artist applied them. An assessment may lead to a fill or removal and a new set.
If you want a curl without added fibres or fill appointments, compare lash lifts and extensions before choosing.
Care between appointments
Follow the cleanser and makeup guidance given for your set. Gently brush your extensions, avoid rubbing or pulling them, and arrange professional removal instead of picking them off. Do not treat a fill as a substitute for cleaning your lashes.
Let the studio know about previous reactions before booking. Extension adhesives can cause irritation or allergic reactions. Seek medical advice for persistent eye symptoms. Read the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s extension safety information.
An example of the ongoing budget
A classic full set plus two 3 week fills is $290 CAD ($130 + $80 + $80). A hybrid full set plus two 3 week fills is $330 CAD ($150 + $90 + $90). These are examples across three visits, not monthly packages. Your actual fill schedule may differ.
