Lashes
How much do eyelash extensions cost, and what goes into the price
Price is the first thing a new client asks about, and “it depends” is no answer. Here is what the cost of lash extensions actually depends on, what to budget per month, and why the suspiciously cheap set usually ends up being the expensive one.

When a new client asks about price, she rarely wants a single number. She wants to know whether she can afford lash extensions long term — because lashes are not a one-off like make-up for a ball, they are regular upkeep. So it pays to understand what the price is made of before you look at the price list.
A new set and an infill are two different prices
The first thing that confuses people in a price list: every method has two amounts. A new set is an application on clean lashes — two hours of work, lash by lash. An infill is the visit three to four weeks later, when we replace what has naturally shed with your own lashes. It takes less time and is typically a fifth to a third cheaper.
If you come for infills regularly, you pay for a new set once. If you let the set shed completely, you pay for a new set every time. That is the biggest difference in what lashes cost you per year — bigger than the difference between salons.
Method: classic, volume, special styles and UV
The second factor is technique. Prices run roughly in this order:
- Classic (1:1) — one extension bonded to each natural lash. The most natural and the least expensive option, ideal for a first visit.
- Volume lashes — a light fan of several ultra-fine fibres on each natural lash. More material, more time and more skill, so a little more expensive.
- Special styles (wet look, Kim effect, colour accents) — priced at volume level; the work involved decides.
- UV method — the bond is cured with a lamp instead of air-drying adhesive. Pricier material and technology, but on oilier skin, and where classic adhesive gives short retention, it pays back in longer wear.
In Prague salons a new classic set sits roughly between one and two and a half thousand crowns; volume sets tend to be a few hundred more. Our current prices are in the price list — and because we are not VAT registered, they are final, nothing is added on top.
What the price includes (and should)
A fair price for a set includes:
- a consultation and the choice of length, curl and thickness based on what your natural lashes can carry,
- quality material — with us that is BL Lashes and an adhesive we trust,
- single-use pads, clean tools, disinfection,
- a check after application so that no two lashes are left bonded together,
- aftercare instructions and a spoolie.
What is usually not included, and is fair to know in advance: removing another salon's set before a new application (dissolving adhesive takes time and costs time) and repair work after another salon, when your natural lashes need sorting out first.
What it costs per month
Simple maths: one new set, then an infill every three to four weeks. Over a year that is roughly one new set and twelve to fifteen infills. Add that you no longer need mascara, a lash curler or ten minutes of eye make-up every morning, and you get a realistic monthly figure — and most clients find it is lower than they expected.
If a monthly rhythm does not suit you, the more honest answer is a lash lift: curling and tinting your own lashes lasts six to eight weeks, needs no infills and is a one-off, cheaper item. It is not the same as extensions, but for some people it is the better choice.
Why the suspiciously cheap set ends up being the expensive one
You will see sets advertised for a few hundred crowns. That is only possible in a few ways, and they all carry the same bill:
- Clusters bonded to several lashes at once. The work takes forty minutes instead of two hours. But a cluster ties together lashes at different stages of growth — the one that sheds pulls out the ones that were not ready. In a few weeks your natural lashes are thinned out.
- Cheap adhesive and cheap lashes. Either the bond fails early, or it stings and irritates. An allergy to adhesive often only appears after repeated applications, and once it does, it is permanent.
- No consultation and no check. Length and thickness are not chosen for your lashes but by whatever is to hand.
The bill for such a set arrives later: removal, months while your natural lashes regrow, and a new set from scratch. That is why we will not just quote a number — we will explain what you get for it.
How to save on lashes without compromising
- Come for infills on time. After three to four weeks. If the set sheds completely, you pay for a new one again.
- Look after them at home. No oil, no curler, no pulling. Home care decides half of your retention — we have a separate article on it.
- Do not mix salons. Every lash artist works with different material and adhesive; infilling someone else's set is more expensive than infilling your own, and the result is never the same.
- Choose classic for your first visit. You will see how your lashes respond, and moving on to volume later is easy.
