When it comes to eyelash extensions, there are many different styles that you can choose from. But with so many options, it can be difficult to know which style would be best for your client. Below are some you might want to use for your client.

Here are different style recommendations based on lash type, eye shape, curvature, and application:

There are four main types of eyelashes: straight, wavy, curly, and kinky. Depending on the type of eyelashes your client has, you'll want to recommend a certain style of eyelash extension.

If your client has straight lashes, then we recommend a style that will add curl and volume to their lashes. A good option would be the C-curl lash style. This will give their lashes a natural-looking curl without being too over the top.

If your client has wavy lashes, then a style that will add curl and volume to their lashes will look wonderful. A C-curl lash style will also work in this case, giving lashes a natural look and feel.

If your client has curly lashes, then go for a style that will add length and definition to their lashes. For this case, the D-curl lash style works best. This will give their lashes a more dramatic yet still elegant look.

If your client has kinky lashes, then we recommend a style that will add length and definition, much like curly lashes, so the D-curl lash style will also work here. 

There are four main types of eye shapes: almond, round, hooded, and monolid. Eye shape plays a big role in determining which eyelash extension style would look best on your client.

If your client has almond-shaped eyes, we recommend a style that adds length and definition. For example, you may want to use a thinner lash style so that it doesn't overwhelm their eyes. A good option would be the D-curl lash style.

For clients with round eyes, we recommend a style that will elongate and open up their eyes. A C-curl or D-curl lash style would be a good option. This will give the illusion of longer and fuller lashes.

If your client has hooded eyes, then a style that focuses on giving definition and length would be best. A good option would be the D-curl lash style. This will help to open up their eyes and give the illusion of longer lashes.

If your client has monolid eyes, a style that goes for length will be ideal. You may want to use a thinner lash style so that it doesn't overwhelm their eyes. The D-curl lash style would be a good option.

There are three main eyelash curvatures: D-curl, B-curl, and C-curl. Depending on the type of eyelash curvature your client has, you'll want to recommend a specific style of eyelash extension.

Clients with D-curl lashes will want a style that adds curl and volume. A good option would be the C-curl lash style. This will give their lashes a natural-looking curl while still looking clean and elegant.

Clients with B-curl lashes will want a style that adds length and definition. A good option would be the D-curl lash style. This will give their lashes a more dramatic finish.

Like B-curl ones, clients with C-curl lashes will want a style that adds length and definition. That's why a D-curl style would also be a good option for them. It will give their lashes a long and voluminous look.

There are two main types of eyelash extensions: classic and volume. Depending on the type of eyelash extension your client wants, you'll want to recommend a certain style of eyelash extension.

Classic eyelash extensions are single lashes that are applied one by one to your client's natural lashes. If your client wants classic eyelashes, then we recommend a style that focuses on length. A good option would be the D-curl lash style. This will give their lashes a long and sophisticated look.

Volume eyelash extensions are multiple lashes that are applied to each of your client's natural lashes. If your client wants this style, then we recommend a look that goes for volume and fullness. A good option would be the C-curl lash style. This will give their lashes a voluminous and natural-looking finish. But if you want to mix styles, read our do’s and don’ts of mixing D-curl and C-curl lashes. 

Of course, these are just recommendations. Ultimately, it's up to your client to decide which style they want, but also up to you as the lash artist to offer what you think will work best based on the client's unique look and needs. We hope that this eyelash extension style chart will help you in your sessions!
