Lash Lift vs Lash Extensions — Which Should You Choose? | Angelite Esthetics East York $75
Lash lift or lash extensions — a straight answer: for most people, lash lifts win on cost (3–5x cheaper annually), maintenance (zero after 48 hours), and natural appearance. Lash extensions win only when you want dramatic volume beyond what your natural lashes provide. Angelite Esthetics East York: lash lift from $75. 2217 Danforth Avenue, steps from Woodbine Station. Call (416) 691-9111.

When You Should Choose a Lash Lift
- You want enhanced lashes without the ongoing commitment, cost, and daily maintenance of extensions
- You swim, exercise frequently, or spend time in steam/humidity
- You want a completely natural appearance — impossible to tell from your own lashes
- You wear contact lenses (extensions can snag on contacts)
- Budget is a consideration — $75 every 6–8 weeks vs $120–280+ every 2–3 weeks
- You’re prone to eye irritation or sensitivity
When You Should Choose Extensions
- You want significantly more volume and length than your natural lashes can provide
- Your natural lashes are extremely sparse or very short (under 4mm)
- You’re a professional who regularly photographs and wants dramatic lash impact
- The daily maintenance commitment is acceptable to you
