If you are searching for lash extensions in Horsham or considering a lash lift for the first time, you probably have questions. I get asked the same things every week, so I have put together the most complete guide I can to help you understand your options, know what to expect and feel confident before you book.
I am Alexandra, advanced aesthetics and beauty practitioner and owner of Alexandra Beauty Boutique, based at 54 Oak Tree Way in North Horsham, West Sussex. I have been offering lash extensions and lash lifts since 2018 and I serve clients across Horsham, Crawley, Southwater, Dorking and across West Sussex and Surrey.
Lash Extensions in Horsham: General Questions
How long do lash extensions last in Horsham?
Lash extensions typically last 2 to 3 weeks before an infill is needed. Your natural lash cycle, aftercare routine and lifestyle all affect this. If you swim regularly, use steam rooms or apply oil-based products near your eyes, extensions will shed faster. With good aftercare, most of my Horsham clients get a full 3 weeks from each set before they need an infill.
How much do lash extensions cost in Horsham?
At Alexandra Beauty Boutique, lash extension prices start from £50 for a Cashmere Classic set. Fluffy Classic is £55, Hybrid Lash Extensions are £60, Russian Volume Lashes are £70 and Mega Volume Lashes are £80. Infills start from £30. You can see our full lash price list.
Do lash extensions damage your natural lashes?
No, not when applied correctly. The key is matching the extension weight and length to what your natural lash can safely support. During your consultation I always assess your natural lashes and apply only what is appropriate. Problems happen when extensions are too heavy or when clients rub their eyes and pull at them. Follow the aftercare advice and your natural lashes will be completely fine.
How long does a lash appointment take near Horsham?
A full set takes 1.5 to 2 hours depending on the style. Russian Volume and Mega Volume take longer because each fan is handcrafted during the appointment. Infill appointments range from 45 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. All appointments are by booking only at Alexandra Beauty Boutique, Horsham. Call 07792 770936 to book.
Are lash extensions suitable for sensitive eyes?
Yes, in most cases. I use professional-grade adhesive and high-quality extensions. If you have known allergies or sensitivities, I recommend a patch test before your first appointment. Please mention any allergies when you book by calling 07792 770936 so we can discuss the best approach for you.
Can I wear makeup with lash extensions?
Yes. Avoid oil-based products around the eye area as these break down the adhesive. Water-based mascara on the tips only is fine if needed, but most clients find they no longer need mascara at all. Remove eye makeup with an oil-free cleanser and avoid waterproof formulas.
Classic, Hybrid, Russian Volume and Mega Volume Lashes in Horsham
What is the difference between Classic, Hybrid, Russian Volume and Mega Volume lash extensions?
Classic lash extensions apply one extension per natural lash for a clean, natural look. They are perfect for everyday wear and a brilliant starting point if you are new to extensions. Hybrid lash extensions blend classic and volume techniques for a textured, fuller result with more dimension. Russian Volume lashes use handcrafted fans of ultra-fine extensions applied to each natural lash for a glamorous, full finish. Mega Volume lashes take density and drama even further for a bold, maximum-impact look. All four styles are available at Alexandra Beauty Boutique in North Horsham.
What are Cashmere Classic lash extensions?
Cashmere Classic lashes use ultra-soft, lightweight extensions for the most natural-looking result. They give a clean, defined finish without added volume. If you want enhanced lashes that still look like your own, Cashmere Classic is the right choice. Available from £50 at our Horsham lash clinic.
What are Fluffy Classic lash extensions?
Fluffy Classic lashes are slightly fuller and wispier than Cashmere Classic, giving more definition and a softer, more textured finish. They are perfect if you want a natural look with a little more presence. Available from £55 at Alexandra Beauty Boutique, Horsham.
What are Russian Volume lash extensions in Horsham?
Russian Volume is a technique where I handcraft fans of 2 to 6 ultra-fine extensions and apply them to each individual natural lash. The result is a full, soft, glamorous look that is surprisingly lightweight and comfortable. It is one of the most popular styles at Alexandra Beauty Boutique. A full Russian Volume set starts at £70.
What are Mega Volume lashes?
Mega Volume uses even finer extensions to create denser fans than Russian Volume, delivering the fullest, most dramatic lash look available. Ideal for those who want maximum impact. Available at our North Horsham clinic from £80.
Can I add colour to my lash extensions near Horsham?
Yes. Colour lashes can be added to any full set or infill from just £5 extra. A pop of colour through the lashes is a beautiful way to personalise your look for a special occasion or just because. Ask about colour options when booking your appointment in Horsham.
Lash Infills and Maintenance Near Horsham
How often do I need lash infills in Horsham?
Most clients book infills every 2 to 3 weeks. The longer you leave it, the more natural lashes will have shed and the more extensions will need replacing. Infills start from £30 at Alexandra Beauty Boutique, Horsham, making regular maintenance simple and affordable.
What happens if I leave my lash extensions too long without an infill?
Beyond 3 weeks, the remaining extensions look sparse and uneven as natural lashes shed at different rates. At that point a full new set is usually the better option. I assess your lashes at each appointment and advise whether an infill or fresh set is the right call.
Do you offer lash removal near Horsham?
Yes, professional lash removal is available from £5 using a specialist solution that dissolves the adhesive bond safely. Please never attempt to remove extensions at home as this can pull out your natural lashes. Available at Alexandra Beauty Boutique, 54 Oak Tree Way, North Horsham.
Lash Lift and Korean Lash Lift in Horsham
What is a lash lift and how much does it cost in Horsham?
A lash lift curls and lifts your natural lashes from the root to create the appearance of longer, more open eyes, without any extensions. It is a low-maintenance treatment with semi-permanent results lasting up to 8 weeks. Our standard Lash Lift and Tint is £45 at Alexandra Beauty Boutique, Horsham. The Korean Lash Lift is £50.
What is a Korean Lash Lift and how is it different from a standard lash lift?
The Korean Lash Lift is an advanced lash lifting technique that creates a more dramatic root-to-tip curl with a glossier, healthier-looking finish than a standard lift. It is our premium lash lifting option and one of the treatments I am most proud to offer in Horsham. The result is a beautifully open-eyed effect that lasts up to 8 weeks. We are one of the few clinics offering the Korean Lash Lift in the Horsham and West Sussex area.
How long does a lash lift last?
A lash lift typically lasts 6 to 8 weeks. Avoid water, steam and rubbing your eyes for the first 24 hours to allow the lift to fully set. Good aftercare significantly extends the result.
Can I combine a lash lift with a brow treatment in Horsham?
Yes. Our Lash Lift, Tint and Brows Package is £65 and the Korean Lash Lift and Brow Package is £70. Both combine lash and brow treatments in one appointment for a complete eye-framing result. Available at Alexandra Beauty Boutique, North Horsham.
Lash Aftercare
How do I look after lash extensions?
For the first 24 hours avoid water, steam, saunas and swimming pools. After that, brush your lashes daily with a clean spoolie, avoid rubbing your eyes, use oil-free makeup remover and keep oil-based products away from the eye area. Good aftercare makes a significant difference to how long your lashes last and how full they look between infills.
Can I go swimming with lash extensions?
Yes, after the first 24 hours. Regular swimming, especially in chlorinated or salt water, will shorten the life of your extensions. Pat lashes dry gently after swimming rather than rubbing.
