Two of Manila's most popular lash services — completely different approaches. We compare cost, maintenance requirements, how each holds up in Manila's humidity, and which type of client each suits best.
Lash lifts and lash extensions are fundamentally different services with different ideal clients.
1What Each Service Actually Does
A lash lift uses chemical solution to reshape natural lashes with an upward curl for 6–8 weeks — no added material. An eyelash extension applies synthetic fibers to each natural lash using semi-permanent adhesive.
2Cost Comparison Over 12 Months
Lash lift: ₱900–1,800 × 7 sessions/year = ₱6,300–12,600 annually. Lash extensions (fills every 2–3 weeks): ₱15,900–30,800 annually.
Most Manila clients would benefit from trying a lash lift first before committing to extensions.
