Classic and volume are the two main types of lash extensions. The difference comes down to how many extensions go on each natural lash, and that changes how full the set looks.
What are classic lashes?
Classic means one extension on each natural lash. It looks like your own lashes, just longer, darker and curled, like a perfect coat of mascara. At Glam Spa Hawaii this is the Classic Glamour set.
What are volume lashes?
Volume means a handmade fan of several ultra-fine extensions on each natural lash. Because the extensions are so fine, volume sets look fuller and fluffier but still feel light. Tiffany offers three volume looks: Natural, Glamour and Mega (Hollywood) Volume.

Which one should you pick?
- You want natural, “is that mascara?” lashes: Classic Glamour.
- It’s your first set and you want to skip mascara: Natural Volume. It’s the one most first-timers pick.
- You wear makeup most days and like a fuller look: Glamour Volume.
- You want drama for an event or just because: Mega Volume.
- Your natural lashes are sparse: volume usually fills gaps better than classic.
What about hybrid lashes?
Hybrid is a mix of classic and volume. Glam Spa Hawaii doesn’t offer a hybrid set. If you want something softer and wispier than classic but not too full, Natural Volume is the closest match.
Not sure? Ask at your appointment
Tiffany looks at your eye shape, your natural lashes and how you like to wear makeup, then maps the set to you. You can also switch looks later: book a full set in the new style, or ask at your next fill.
Quick answers
Are volume lashes heavier?
No. Volume fans use ultra-fine extensions, so even a full set feels light.
Which lasts longer?
About the same. Volume can look full a little longer between fills because there’s more coverage.
Is volume worth the extra cost?
If you want to skip mascara completely, most clients say yes. If you like a natural look, classic is great value.
