Lash lift (€65 / 60 min): curls your natural lashes, fresh wide-eyed effect, holds 6 to 8 weeks, zero upkeep. Classic lash extensions (€90 / 60 min): synthetic fibres applied one by one, intense look, €65 refill every 3-4 weeks. The right call depends on your natural density and your daily routine.
At You Rêve Paris, a beauty salon in the 1st arrondissement, these two services are the two faces of eye beauty. Neither is "better" — each answers a different desire. Before deciding, let us lay out the facts.
The lash lift: your gaze, revealed
The lash lift is a treatment performed on your natural lashes. The technician applies a mild alkaline product on silicone pads, which curls the lash fibre in the desired direction, then sets the curve with a neutraliser. The full session takes 60 minutes and costs €65.
Adding a lash tint right after to deepen the eye brings the total to €80.
Benefits: no added material, a "barefaced but defined" look, and the freedom to remove makeup normally afterwards.
Lash extensions: density, one lash at a time
Extensions add synthetic fibres to each natural lash using a medical-grade adhesive. Three techniques in our salon:
- Classic / lash by lash (€90 / 60 min): one extension per lash. Naturally fuller, ideal for a first time.
- Mixed (€110 / 90 min): a mix of single fibres and small fans for added thickness.
- Russian volume (€130 / 90 min): fans of 3 to 6 ultra-fine fibres on each lash, very intense look.
Upkeep is essential: a €65 refill every 3 to 4 weeks offsets natural shedding. Without refills, the look becomes uneven.

Who should pick the lash lift?
The lash lift is the right call if:
- You already have a good natural density but your lashes point downward.
- You want a minimalist look with no recurring upkeep.
- You wear little mascara and would like to skip it entirely.
- You travel often or swim regularly — no restrictions on cleansers.
Who should pick extensions?
Extensions are the right call if:
- Your natural lashes are short or sparse.
- You want a highly visible look even barefaced.
- You accept an upkeep ritual: refill every 3-4 weeks, oil-free cleanser, morning and evening brushing.
- You have a specific event (wedding, milestone birthday, photo trip) — Russian volume at €130 maximises impact on the day.
💡 Tip: Pair a lash lift with a €20 brow tint for a complete eye look in a single session.
Still hesitating?
A simple piece of advice: start with a lash lift. It reveals what you already have, without commitment. If after 6 weeks you still want more, extensions become a fully informed choice — you will know exactly what your natural lashes can offer.
