Volume Eyelash Extensions Kit: The Ultimate Guide
Essential Tools for Your Volume Eyelash Extension Kit
If you’re getting ready to dive into volume lashes, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the huge range of lash extensions available. One way to simplify things is to grab a pre-made kit that’s packed with everything you need for volume lash extensions, but if you prefer to have full control over your product choices, we’ve put together a list of all the essentials to help you create stunning volume lashes.
How to Choose the Right Tweezers
Before diving into the different types of lash extensions, let’s talk tweezers. It’s crucial to invest in a pair that’s specifically designed for volume lashes. These tweezers are sturdier, making them perfect for picking up finer lash extensions. Every pair of our volume tweezers is hand-tested by our in-house Lash Masters to ensure you get the best grip on fans of all sizes, no matter which fanning technique you prefer.
There’s a variety of volume lash tweezers to choose from, depending on your personal preference and the size of the fans you’re working with. We also offer fiber grip tweezers, which provide even better grip than standard tweezers. Before you make your choice, it’s worth reading more about them in this blog post to make sure they’re the perfect fit for your volume lash needs!
Essential Lashes for Your Volume Sets
There’s a wide array of volume lashes out there, so we’ll keep it simple. If you’re interested in a more in-depth look at the different types of eyelash extensions we offer, check out this blog post. But for now, let’s focus on thickness.
For beginners, 0.07mm thickness is ideal for creating volume lash fans up to 5D. If you’ve used London Lash Classic Lashes before, you might already have a favourite collection and know which lengths you prefer. If you’re new to London Lash, start with a couple of mixed-length trays. This will allow you to practise fanning and apply a few lash sets before committing to single-length trays. The most popular curls are C and CC, but as you get more comfortable with volume lashes, you might want to experiment with more unique curls like M or L curls. These options can help you create everything from bold to wispy lashes, depending on your client’s preferences.
Selecting the Perfect Lash Glue
The best lash glue for you depends on several factors, and if you’re transitioning from classic eyelash extensions to volume lashes, you probably already have a good idea of what works for you. When switching to volume lashes, you might find that your placement speed increases, so it could be worth trying an eyelash glue that dries a bit more gradually while you get used to the finer details of handling and placing volume fans. For more guidance, check out our glue chart to find the best option for your needs.
Additional Must-Have Tools
Just like with classic lashes, you’ll need a reliable glue remover in case your client needs their lash extensions removed. By this stage, you’re likely more experienced with lash removals, but it’s still a good idea to use cream remover for taking off full sets. It stays exactly where you place it and makes it easy to spot any leftover residue on the lashes.
If you’re moving from classic lashes to volume lash extensions, you probably have your lash prep routine down pat. But if you’re jumping straight into volume or trying London Lash products for the first time, you’ll need some quality lash prep products like lash cleanser, lash primer or lash shampoo to help your lash sets last.

Finally, make sure you have a good supply of under eye patches and tape on hand, as you’ll use them for every client’s lash extension session.
