If you're a lash tech that hasn't started offering angel lashes yet, don’t worry - you’re definitely not alone. Despite dominating search trends from winter 2024 to now, many lash lovers and even new lash techs are still unsure what angel lashes actually are. So, let’s break down exactly what this trending lash extension style involves and why it’s becoming a must-have treatment.
What Are Angel Lashes?
Angel lashes are a soft, wispy, naturally textured lash style designed to create the perfect balance between classic and volume lash extensions. Think of them as a classic lash set with added fluff, softness, and airy wisps, giving the eyes a lifted, angelic finish (hence the name!).
Why Are Angel Lashes So Popular?
This lash style has exploded in popularity across the UK and worldwide, with more lash artists adding them to their treatment lists every single month. Their subtle texture and wearable finish make them suitable for almost every client, especially those wanting a natural-but-better look.
How Do You Create Angel Lash Extensions?
To create an angel lash set, lash techs typically use volume fibres usually 0.03, 0.05, or sometimes 0.07. The lash diameter comes down to your personal preference, your client’s natural lashes, and the final look they want to achieve.
Here’s how they differ from traditional fans:
-
You pick up 2-5 fibres, similar to creating a handmade fan.
-
Instead of fanning them open, you keep the fibres closed to mimic the look of a classic lash extension.
-
Apply adhesive the same way you would for classics (coating up to half of the extension).
-
This keeps the fibres closed while allowing the tips to remain slightly wispy and textured, the signature angel lash look.
The result? Lightweight, fluttery, subtly voluminous lashes that enhance the eyes without looking too full or dramatic.
Who Are Angel Lashes Best For?
Angel lashes are incredibly versatile and suit almost every client. They’re ideal for:
-
Clients new to lash extensions
-
Those wanting something natural, wearable, and soft
-
Clients who love the look of a lash lift but want more coverage
-
Anyone transitioning from classics to something with a little extra texture
-
Mature clients who want light, eye-opening extensions
It’s no surprise this style is becoming one of the fastest-growing lash trends.
